Nonsense like this easily gets 6K likes. "NOBODY wants" Who does this guy think he is to speak for all of us? I want cities on Mars, humanoid robots, flying cars. We can have all these things. Having the first 4 doesn't mean we can't have the rest. People who propagate such ideas and are propagandizing the public against tech progress don't deserve to enjoy the fruits of the very progress they actively fought against. The irony is that these people will enjoy the benefits of AI, advanced medicine, longevity treatments (we need a lot of extra intelligence - AI, some of it in space, to solve aging), robotics, and abundance, even though they actively opposed the progress that made those things possible. Robots are one of the most crucial elements needed to achieve abundance faster. Why do I think that even a simple tweets like this aren't "innocent" and can have real consequences? Here's just one example. A mayor of some random city in the US, who hasn't given much thought to the subject, reads it. Then he or she see more similar tweets(algo will feed more similar anti AI messages and anti AI misinfo), and eventually tis person decide to block the construction of a data center near their town. That data center will ultimately be built somewhere else, but valuable time will be wasted. The additional intelligence it could provide will come online later. And intelligence coming online later means problems getting solved later instead of sooner. That's why this stuff matters.
