Their claims towards inevitable AGI are akin to claiming they can teach the solar powered calculator collecting dust in a drawer in your house how to love.
It's so stupid on the face of it that it can only be the result of a concerted propaganda effort leveled at people too lazy and dumb to learn.

"The blood was only ever a means to an end," the vampire confessed in the interview.
"To what end?" the reporter asked.
"Blood carries vigor, life force, vital energy. That's what we feed on."
"So how do you get it, if not through blood?"
"These days, we make doom scrolling apps to drain it."

Its fascinating that the AI models that will be able to replace lawyers, accountants, writers and bureaucrats - middle class office workers - *will be cheaper* than a physical robot that can do detailed and skilled manual labour. Many times cheaper.
Is the value of labour about to shift?

Today's question: are the people who interpret "we can be better than this" as a falsifiable statement about historical facts (rather than as a statement of moral aspiration) liars or merely stupid?

I stopped trying to debate software developers on LLMs a while back. It's fruitless. Even if they could be budged on empirical grounds, they are explicitly fine with using tools that are themselves deeply unethical.
