I hope this directly leads to a hard AI takeoff that to humans unable to comprehend what the fuck AIs are doing to improve themselves, so that no stupid fucker of a CEO ever gets to talk about their stupid-ass vision of the future ever again. Can’t wait for Silicon Valley to collectively fire itself and let the AIs just do what they want with no oversight. It’s gonna be great!
