Ugh, what an annoying article.

• "Pioneer," starting off with colonialist analogies, no notes.
• Pretending over and over again that there's any path from LLMs to something that can meaningfully said to be "alive," when that is very much so not the case.
• Sucking the oxygen out of the room by posing pretend problems with pretend technologies and calling it "AI safety," suffocating out real ethical problems with AI.
