> Unfortunately, they're blinded by their beliefs and can't think things through even one step further. Which is particularly wild and frustrating given how many of their "textbooks" were about the consequences and how bad they can get. The very first tale to create the English word "robot" [1] was about the horrible consequences of building a new class of slave labor. Science fiction has been writing "Robot revolt" and "AI revolt" consequences for more than a century since. A lot of these TESCREAL [2] types caught up in these religious views of AGI have ignored the actual plots of the books they claim to read for excitement and passion about their visions for the future. To be fair, not understanding your own source books seems pretty common across religions, but seems especially weird in this case how many of these "canon" "Don't Build the Torment Nexus" works are accessible to everyone, in a modern vernacular, have major film adaptations or films based on their themes, and plenty of good Wikipedia summaries of how building the thing destroyed civilization or the world or the galaxy. | ||
