AI is more of a religious cult.

Let’s rewind:

- Doomsayers with Yudkowsky et. al. at the helm calling to bomb datacenters

- “Roko’s Basilisk”

- General AI psychosis and treatment of AI as something with consciousness. Any attempts of rebuttal are met with lazy “but how do you know you are conscious. haha got ‘em”

- Inquisitorial purges of non-believers: “our CEO mandates you shall use AI in your work, or else”

- Communion with a God: “I was talking to ChatGPT and I realised <something personally profound>”

- “You are just using it wrong” aka “You are not praying hard enough”

- Cult Executive Officers

- Promise of incoming salvation with AGI taking over and making a Heaven (or Hell - caveat emptor) on Earth
