So…being onboard with the AI revolution requires belief in imaginary things?

Yep. That actually checks out.

Person not gullible in one respect also isn’t gullible in another respect?

You don’t say?

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

Let’s rewrite that headline in a more positive tone.

AI doomerism is driven by those with a clear perspective.

Jokes on him, I’m part of the Butlerian Jihad. Death to the toasters.

Its also weird all these tech CEOs are backing the guy who is trying to deport populations that are more christian (80%) than the general US population (60%).

Its almost like they’re just pointing the finger at everything but money.

These evil fucks need to go

Palantir CEO can lick my entire taint

Ah yes, I love faith-based AI technology. The slop is real so long as you believe! /s

Seriously are these people who think your prayers are the reason your phone stays on 1% battery for an hour longer than you thought?

Reinforces my position that AI is apocalyptic Christianity for techbros.

My family are Christians which by definition is apocalyptic, what is this guy talking about?

I’m actually terrified by religious people and their unshakeable belief that everything’s gonna be okay because Sky Daddy will fix it and if we destroy the world well that’s just accelerating His plan so it’s all good.

Concerned about the consequences of our actions? Here just take some opiate-of-the-masses and chill out.

This headline doesn’t seem to match the article content at all. He never says that. He makes a statement about how people are interpreting AI as filling a “God shaped hole”, but that’s as close at it gets.

The strength of todays “AI” is generating bullshit, isn’t it? Not that it doesn’t take more than that to invent a new religion, I suppose you also need genuine holy divine inspiration and so on, but it sure might be helpful to the process.

I think I’m one of the more well known religious folk on this place, and I am also a bit of an AI doomer.

I think the way some people want to use it is satanic.

Revelation 13:14-15 ESV

and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.

Have a problem with society not doing what you want it to do? It’s a problem with the lack of religion! It’s true. We’ve known religion gives you the capability to get societies to do what you want them to for centuries.
