Calm down. There is no meat. It's just a giant sponge of wave packets.
Your take is the most S.V. conformist one there is: materialist reductionism, and it is doomed.
Tell me you don't understand hitchhikers guide without telling me you don't understand hitchhikers guide. This is as bad as Thiel and ilk's inverted reading of LOTR.
Uh huh, tell me you absorb influencer talking points mindlessly without reading any of the source material without telling me. The Vogon Constructor Fleet was a satire of British bureaucracy on the surface but secretly it was dispatched to stop the question to the ultimate answer from being found (because of the job loss of course) so in that sense it's a better metaphor for Eliezer Yudkowsky with the Earth a metaphor for the quest to create the AGI. But I guess you didn't get that far with all those big words. Talk about inverted readings! Who knew you were the real Vogon? What a twist!
From my perspective, the most SV-aligned mindset is to run around in circles screaming that AI will destroy jobs to give the military/industrial complex cover to commit atrocities with Palantir and for tech billionaires to run wild with surveillance capitalism, but I know, silly me!
Same mindset that demanded safe spaces in schools over actually safe schools. And I don't really want to this caustic and sarcastic on the subject, but both the radically pro AI and radically anti AI factions, who both scream the loudest, really bring out my inner Marvin. The future is coming whether you want it or not. The question is how you will steer it. Get in its way and you'll just get steamrolled.
