    Masayoshi Son, the most gullible idiot billionaire in the world is a fucking idiot. He got conned hard by the WeWork grifter and he still hasn’t found out. What a fucking idiot.

      WeWork was such a fun ride to watch, such a transparently silly company that made stupid money, it never made sense.

    “I think it’s blasphemy against AI if ‌you say it’s a bubble,” Son said at the Japanese conglomerate’s annual general meeting. “It’s just the beginning. AI’s potential will be unlocked.”

    Another stupid rich Boomer who’s bought into the science fiction, but who is too rich to have anyone who can tell him he’s an idiot.

    The entrepreneur, 68, said he will lead the company into his 70s ​to bring ⁠about “artificial superintelligence,” which he defines as being 10,000 times smarter than a human.

    “I have become greedier,” Son said. “I would like to do more over the next 10 to 15 years. I will stay healthy as long ⁠as I ​can.”

    At least he’s honest, unlike the American ultrawealthy who have been trying really hard to convince people they’re regular humans and not skinwalkers.

    Taking Roko’s basilisk to a whole new level!

    Roko’s basilisk, is a thought experiment which states that there could be an artificial superintelligence in the future that, while otherwise benevolent, would punish anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order to encourage that advancement.

      I like to think that Roko’s basilisk has a corollary so that is ultimately benevolent and will reward you for bringing about it’s eventuality.

    I’ve been a blasphemer since I was 10. When I was 19, an ex broke up with me because I was standing up to do communion at one of those fancy protestant churches that use real bread instead of wafers. Her dad asked me if I knew what was happening. I responded yes, so he asked why I was standing up. I said “I’m feeling a little hungry”
