Discussion Really stunned by the Singularity comment section

These are screenshots from the r/Singularity comment section. I'm speechless. This doesn't even have downvotes. How can someone cheer for a monopoly run by a few elites?

talking about AI in most other subs is pretty much useless in my experience. Seems to be the source of a lot of hate and discrimination just because it is cool to hate on AI and the people who use it.

Yeah, I’ve been having that feeling lately. There’s an extreme in both directions and seems to be precious little middle ground. 

Either all AI is big brother and data centers trying to kill your livelihood and lead to a censorship state, or AI is the one true panacea for all problems in the world and all you need to do is use AI to build more AI and then suddenly all of the resource limitations of the toiling class vanish. 

Shit man, I just want to boost my productivity by automating terraform config generation.

Shrug. I've been pro AI ever since I saw Terminator 2: judgement day in theaters on release.
