I’m not sure you’re understanding what people think is cool.

Okay, but we already have the dystopia. Without the cool stuff. Those stories were dirty liars.

He’s working too hard. We just care about his well being. He doesn’t need to be doing everything by himself.

Doesn’t mean he’s right, either.

No, this is their answer to overpopulation. We’re meant to find our way to the nearest back alley or empty land and lie down to quietly starve to death out of their sight. That or be forced to do the back breaking labor that the robots are too expensive to do. They might give you food and a tent for that.

It is when it’s that specific.

And of course they have to be storing the passwords in plain text somewhere to maintain that history.

There were always non-evil choices. Most people were too afraid of a non-evil world to pick them, though.

Or you could just figure out what your own damn opinion is yourself and not have to rely on an unthinking chatbot to think for you.

How come it’s all of the bad stuff and none of the cool stuff?

We’re dealing with at least two intervening languages and generations of oral history here. Nitpicking semantics isn’t terribly useful.

Basically, it means don’t be yandere.

I don’t want to boldly go anywhere, I just want to live somewhere I never need to worry about starving to death or getting bombed because some uber rich asshat wants to play toy soldiers with real people.

Substitute loot boxes then.

The definition of a soul will entirely depend on your personal religious beliefs. I’m pretty sure in the case of Anthropic trying to convince people that Claude has a soul, they were using the Judeo-Christian version that is the part of you that is you and that will continue on after your death into the afterlife.

Claude certainly does not have that.

They did, however, find out approximately how long a severed head lives after being removed from the body. It’s much longer than you’d think.

They both require perfectly infallible people to reach perfection, so that’s 0% for either.

They both require the same fantasy to work. They just come to that fantasy from different directions.

The “free market” is inherently corrupt. Its natural conclusion is a single almighty corporation that owns everything. That’s why regulation is necessary to rein it in.

They can still have all that confined to a building they’ll spend the rest of their lives in.
