Why can't we win the AI race and still not have a surveillance state? Those don't seem like they have to be linked...
because the government subdidizes the company that would have the survellience tech, which is stable profit.

The Singularity Trap by Dennis E. Taylor (2018) The book defines a sci-fi universe where humanity must escape from an overwhelming AI entity. The solution, as demonstrated by the main character, is to be turned into a machine using nanomachines, yet somehow retain one's humanity. When I raised the issue of this kind of story's inherent paradox and flawed logic—where the solution to saving humanity from an AI entity seeking to destroy all natural biological life is to turn into machines—people responded that they still enjoyed the narrative. Therefore, I wouldn't be surprised if this idiot's stament gathered widespread support.
How do you win this race? By having the most capable unsustainable LLM? Not sure if I care...
I hope he puts some camaras near his house. Then we'll all know where he is at all times.
What an absolute cunt
