So their only reasonable plan is to capture a significant portion of the global economy through a tech that we have currently no idea how to build? Seems a little dodgy, to say the least. I would personally consider it well in "bonkers" territory.

I think we had been primed for so long by science fiction that the talking computer was always going to put us in this state of mass stupidity.

The fun part is to go back now and listen to Blake Lemoine interviews from summer 2022. That for me was the start of all this.
