I’m not special and anyone can do what I’m doing. Civilization has been advancing technology since people stood upright. To stand still and not expect change is just ignorance. I can’t fix flawed people, I can only march forward.

I don't think it's the right path, and I think marching forward with innovation is destructive. People who can't adapt to AI aren't flawed, just like people aren't flawed who can't do math even though I can. The true ignorance is thinking that what you are doing does any good in the world.
I think a lot of what you’re pointing this thread towards boils down to philosophical beliefs. Objectively throughout history there have been people resistive to technological advancement and those people have more often than not been the idea losers in history.

I’ll throw you something I believe that we might agree on though. I don’t think the colossus data center Musk setup in Tennessee is good for anyone. Those generators he’s been running are abhorrent and the guy needs realignment of his neurons through some percussive maintenance, but alas that’s probably illegal because he’s too much of a chump to accept a boxing match.
