Top executives at Anthropic, OpenAI and other AI companies are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event.

I wonder what they are using to game out those scenarios, I hope its not what I think it is but I think it probably is.

Maybe…

Hear me out.

Just maybe.

That time would be better spent preventing a disaster.

Just maybe think about it is all.

The billionaire psychopaths don't want to prevent a disaster. To them, you're just an NPC.

Hey, I've been gaming out scenarios too. They mostly end with the tech bro billionaires getting entombed in their own bunkers or flung into deep space in their own space ships.

More AI Bros Bs. They claim to be planning for every, except the most likely, "catastrophic" event, namely the implosion of their circular financing and a massive economic depression in its wake. We are currently witnessing the largest misallocation of capital in our lifetime. This will have consequences and they won't be nice.

I'd aim for the sun, personally. Sending them to deep space would just be like throwing garbage out the car window. Give a hoot, didn't pollute.

Only one of them gets to be Mr. House. The rest get to be irratiated jerky for cannibals.

It's like Easter Island but instead of building giant heads they are building giant data centres.

All in the name of creating AI God.
