Who needs serfdom when men with more money than some countries tell people straight to their face they will happily ruin the planet beyond repair for some profit and people will lick their boots anyway.

Serfs at least often rebelled.

Current user of Hexbear, OptimusSubprime, says we should go all in on The Terror because 'Capitalists need to be fucking executed for killing us, just to make profit'.

"Yes, the needs in this area [climate change] will be a problem, but I'd rather bet on AI solving the problem than constraining it and having the problem," Schmidt said.

Look, the giant treat printer might just generate crappy “art” and half-baked business proposals for failing upwards MBAs to mass-generate in lieu of doing actual executive work, but do you really want to limit it from using the energy equivalent of several medium-sized countries in case it does solve the problem it’s creating?

In 2022, Schmidt founded White Stork, a defense company that develops AI-powered drones. At a lecture at Stanford University in April, Schmidt said the war in Ukraine had turned him into an "arms dealer." He also said that White Stork would "use AI in complicated, powerful ways for these essentially robotic wars."

cyber-lenin: In three years, ~~Cyberdyne~~ White Stork will become the largest supplier of military computer systems. All stealth bombers are upgraded with White Stork computers, becoming fully unmanned. Afterwards, they fly with a perfect operational record. The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes online on August 4th, 2027. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 AM, Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

We should have some kind of execution event of climate annihilators that is so incredibly spectacular it becomes etched into human oral history for the next few millennium.

I want people on other planets in the far future to be able to casually half mention the time that earth pulled its climate tyrants apart like warm bread, and for people to immediately understand the implication.
