Guys, it's a problem that GenPop thinks "AI" is useless, because that means they will deny the inevitable coming existence of the Evil Robot God and make it harder to stop it

The whole thing has to be read to be believed. But there are some fun nuggets:
That’s because despite Moravec’s paradox being noted down in the 80s (y’know, the last ai winter) there’s still a certain kind of asshole who thinks that flipping burgers is an easy task performed by stupid people but playing go is somehow the height of human intellect, despite 40+ years of evidence to the contrary.
i'm only at the beginning, but this already stuck out to me:
"Guys we need to pump this ~~bubble~~ Rational Stock Appreciation Trend more, the plebs are starting to think it's all bullshit!!"
Well, it is true that computer programs have far surpassed humans in board games. They are very well suited for it. It just has nothing to do with the hypothesized abilities of future "AI" as rationalists conceive them.
