John Johnston (JJ) reacts to some of a recent video by well known tech journalist Taylor Lorenz, in which she details how tech billionaires, such as Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Marc Andreessen and others, are planning for an AI future in which humans don’t exist. The way that they see it, and desire it,, their post-human tech future will be dominated by artificial general intelligence (AGI), or even artificial super intelligence. They plan to outlive a probable collapse in society by building luxury bunkers, living in space, and merging with AI technology.
