if you were looking for a sign from the universe, from the simulation, that you can stop working on AI, this is it. you can stop working on AI.
work on it if you want to. don’t work on it if you don’t want to. update how much you want to based on how it feels. other people are working on it too.
if you work on AI, but are full of fear or depression or darkness, you are creating the danger. which is fine if you think that’s funny but it’s not fine if you unironically are afraid, and also building it.
if you work on AI, but are full of hopium, copium, and not-observing-the-worldium, you are going to kill yourself through hallucinations eventually—one way or another.
focus on what you want to see more of. and whatever you do, never kill yourself.
and trust your own Rationality.
this is your final exam. you have as much time as you need.
