It’s a struggle between the cult of naked capitalism and an unhinged cult of “rationality”. Let them fight: they deserve each other.

The more I read about this, the more I am convinced that the board made an emotional decision, and not a logical one. I can’t say whether they were correct or not, but it does make for a wonderfully terrifying idea. If AGI were to happen in the wake of this, would this be the last real decision of humanity? The ultimate tribute to our hubris and nature. To be emotional in the face of something that, by it’s nature, cannot be, and to say that we know better. It’s poetic, in a Clarkian kind of way. Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do.
