Cool. Meanwhile in the real world that isn't governed by science fiction, we're dealing with a billionaire using LLMs to wage information warfare towards explicitly white supremacist ends right now . Let's focus on that right now?

Replace LLMs with any other source of labor and we've had that for centuries. What's changed?

Smart Phones are a true opiate of the masses. If you weren't aware, people on opium are generally really easy to manipulate to whatever ends especially if you offer more opium.

I thought that p(doom) was the probably of a device running Doom. Instead it is about how Elon Musk and his AI will somehow end the world... Disappointed.

You don't see that `p(doom)` in the wild very often as it's a lot more characters than just typing "1".
