I've noticed an uptick in the number of pro-AI posts on this platform.

Various posts with titles similar to "When will people stop being afraid of AI" or "Can we please acknowledge AI was very needed for X"

Can't tell if its the propaganda machine invading, or annoying teenage tech-bros who are detached from reality.

Also, for reasons I can’t quite understand, some AI fans are also deluded into believing that AI will somehow usher in a post-capitalist utopia, despite the obvious fact it is only further empowering and enriching the most wealthy tech companies and the oligarchs that control them.

Elon Musk is making his typical wild promises again, this time about AI leading to UBI and abundance for everyone ... as he makes money from xAI, of course.

    They are all saying that since someone threatened to molotov Altman's house, but at the same time they're doing everything in their power to make sure nothing resembling ubi ever happens.
