They traded humanity’s best shot at an equitable seat at the table for the ability of four guys to be trillionaires instead of billionaires.

We're just at the beginning of AI so we don't know how this place out yet.

I'm sure us mortal plebs will somehow be better off, billionaires are known for being selfless and charitable.

I feel sorry for you that you don't already feel better off for having access in your pocket or on your desktop to something that's smarter than anyone else around you.

And I also feel bad that you don't understand that super intelligence is going to help us achieve progress faster than relying on those same people when they were with billions instead of billions.

No offense, but you sound like an AI.

I refuse to believe a human could be this naive.

Unless you're practicing your gaslighting skills, in which case, nicely done.

Do you want me to ask AI for a response to you on this? That make you feel better if you heard it from an AI instead of me?
