There’s this Lemmyverse computer touching jagoff named “fearfulhobgoblin” or something that insists that biological brains are just a straight line threshold of computing power, implying that enough TI-88s bolted together would parallel (and exceed) human consciousness and that absolutely nothing else had to happen to make that happen.
I think sufficient numbers of Silicon Valley bazingas have the same belief and want to burn down the planet in the hopes of something like that happening. It’s preferable to paying fucking workers that can think a bit like that for a lot less resources and carbon waste.
dam we gonna need even more gpus to fix that
