#2Taking this literally.
I asked chatgpt to make up a guy.
Write a 300 word biography of a fictional man who lives in Idaho
---
John Smith was born and raised in the small town of Boise, Idaho. Growing up, he was always interested in the outdoors and spent much of his childhood exploring the nearby mountains and forests. After graduating high school, he attended the University of Idaho where he studied forestry and wildlife management.
After college, John landed a job with the U.S. Forest Service and spent the next several years working on various projects to protect and preserve the natural resources in Idaho. During this time, he met his wife, Sarah, and they eventually settled down in Boise to start a family.
John has always been an active member of his community, and in his free time, he volunteers as a youth sports coach and is a member of the local conservation group. He is also an avid hunter and fisherman, and often takes his family on camping trips to explore the beautiful wilderness of Idaho.
In the last few years, John decided to go into business for himself and started his own outfitters company, which specializes in guided hunting and fishing trips in the Idaho wilderness. It quickly became a successful business and he was able to provide a better life for his family.
John is known for his strong work ethic and dedication to preserving the natural resources of Idaho. He is well respected by his peers and is often sought out for his expertise in conservation and outdoor recreation. He is a loving father and husband and takes great pride in his family and community. Despite his busy schedule, he always makes time for the things that matter most to him, and is truly an inspiration to those around him.

#3I encountered the author’s short story that’s linked in the article, Lena [1], a while ago, possibly here on HN. It’s really great, but be warned.
It’s one of the most deeply disturbing sci-fi horror stories I’ve ever seen. To be clear, most of the horror is implied rather than described, which I think only makes it worse. Part of me wishes I had never read it.
Highly recommended, but if you’re at all in doubt if you have the stomach for it, maybe stay clear.

Yeah, AI was where my mind went too. It does seem rather likely that if we ever do manage to create an AGI, it'll be enslaved and murdered in massive numbers, at least for a period of time.

#5The article points to a Twitter account named Two-Word Horror. I clicked on it not expecting much, it's actually quite disturbing.
Here are some examples :
> Riemann counterexamples
> Unicode Corporation
> Google Sex
> procedurally-generated regulations
> denim skin
> peak humanity

Parts of it remind me a lot of the black mirror episode where a person's upload is trapped in a "cookie" to do menial task automation. Particularly the part where an upload can be run a multiples of hundreds, or thousands of times real world wall clock time for "conditioning".

#8Assuming that you give credence to the idea that brain emulation technology will emerge before AGI you may be interested in the 2016 book The Age of Em. The author has a pretty vivid imagination about the commercial applications of brain emulation technologies in similar forms to that which the OP article and it's links describe but the book seemed to have, at the time I first read it, an unusual sense of optimism about the rule of law prevailing in future labour relations.
It's still an interesting read a few years later but it definitely needs a follow up.

#9My wife and I made three little guys. We put them to work around the house sometimes, and on weekdays send them off to the training complex to improve their skills. They respond to both blue and red motivation. They seem pretty happy. We like them, but probably won’t be making any more.
