Which of these is supposed to be the optimistic outcome?

The optimist is that ai doesn't kill us and life continues as normal, in which case she should quit because women can't be engineers

I think the sex worker one, because apparently it doesn't occur to Yud that women might not, in fact, want to become sex workers for tech bros.

Yea I guess the “optimistic” one is that AI becomes real and does all the engineering jobs and also every other job but sex work? I guess. Dude is so high on his own farts, he really thinks an LLM is somehow gonna become capable of real intelligence.

It's funny because I'm in the middle of an AI class right now and the professor basically said "LLMs aren't *made* to emulate human intelligence, they tried doing that and it didn't work, so they pursued this instead."

The other option appears to be "we all die in a few years," so the alternative has to be the optimistic view. [He wrote a book titled "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All".]

What about men? Might *they* have to become sex workers? Funny that he doesn't mention that. I'm sure there's a very rational reason.

Presumably the men are either AIco Stock Owners or Dead.

Let's aim for "dead".
