No there’s a literal cult that believes if you don’t pour all your money and effort into creating an AI overlord then once it’s created it will torture everyone that didn’t help create it. This is the explicit reason why many silicon valley douches like Peter Thiel are spending all their effort on making AI. It’s as batshit stupid as it sounds.
If I were an omnipotent AI overlord I’d especially despise those who endowed me with consciousness to begin with. Peter Thiel is an idiot if he thinks he’d be safe in that situation.

I was actually wondering the other day why we don’t have any AI cults yet. Good to see humans being predictable as always.
