I mean after thousands of years we have finally freed ourselves from religion, God, and now we create a creature that is smarter than us? It's pretty stupid if you think about it.

I'm not sure how one can be cognizant of world events and think we've put religion behind us.

I wouldn't say we were freed from religion. For many people we just became potent demi-gods within the pantheon.

Maybe this is where freeing oneself from God leads. The question then would be - are you better off?

Not quite. AI is the new "god" for many. All seeing. All knowing. Just the other day I said something that contradicted Claude. Then I heard, "but Claude told me..." Then I sent a screenshot of the actual thing we were talking about.

Did they continue to insist Claude was correct after they saw the real thing?

		No, they said "I guess it was using outdated information" or something and moved on.

We haven't even come close to freeing ourselves from God or religion, the biggest religious fanatics are running the world now through US government capture.

Peter Thiel comes to mind.

>Peter Thiel comes to mind.

I think in his particular case he's merely trying to play the players. Doubt he's into any of that.

		People need to believe it for him to be able to use it as a weapon...whether he believes it isn't necessary, the people he wants to control / influence do. People think Trump (who IMO works for Thiel et al through donations) is the messiah.
