If we had real AGI and not just shitty chatbots, we could tell them to melt their GPUs for the good of the planet.

They’ve been the same for my entire life now. What do you think Nixon and his pals (some of whom are still in politics) were?

It might be, if he stroked out live on TV. Especially if he was aware enough to understand how weak he looked in the moment. Besides some kind of massive disfiguring and painful tumor, it’s about the best we can hope, for a narcissist’s demise.

The exit tax is probably the sticking point for many, I’m not sure how that works for mega rich like Clooney, but it might be really easy for a poor like me.
