35. If that was true, we'd all still be scratching our asses staring at a blank cave wall.

Innovation is an actual thing. Intellectual property is an actual thing.

I don't think AI should go away, but I think if they are going to steal all of human knowledge to train AI, there should be a dividend paid to humans for their contributions to that. There are nine billion people on this planet and they didn't vote for six tech trillionaires to make AGI targeted for job replacement to remove all of their labour bargaining and political power and create permanent tech feudalism.

Those same six people put the odds of AGI ending humanity at 10-50%. Nobody wants that and nobody agreed to it. We need to be regulating the shit out of AI and making an actual plan for what comes next as we transition to a post-scarcity society. Nothing else that we are doing right now is an important as that.
