Everybody else does the same, so Fred feels behind even more, because his AI assistant cannot answer

The REAL reason to slow down a race to "God-like AI" isn't that it'd kill us:

It is that we cannot afford to waste all that energy and money, when there is so much stuff to do first (even with AI!), like this:

If the title is correct, this "god-father of #AI" is just another guy who got things backwards:

#UBI hasn't become necessary NOW, after some tech bro said "ops, I've invented this thing that will destroy jobs, please make UBI to fix my mess".

@GlytchMeister yes, that's why I asked 🙂

Here's a thought (*) that's good, but backwards. It should be:

1, we ALWAYS HAD to return to the most personal... human part of our existence because we deserve it. 2), the electronic age could gives us what finally answers this need

"Some commentators are snarking that Microsoft really really wants to make 2025 the year of Linux on the Desktop, and it's kind of hard to refute them right now."
