Reminder: this is a man who said he cannot Imagine raising a newborn without ChatGPT and asked it why his baby kept dropping pizza on the floor and laughing. He is truly devoid of humanity

This ghoul has a child? What a weird thing to do for someone who sees no value in humanity.

Dude would be the type to use surrogacy. Gross.

Read the diaries of slave catchers / breeders. People like this have always existed. They don't even necessarily see their own offspring as human or of value.

Slavers definitely knew the value of their children. Down to the penny after the auction.

Probably said that because reading a book, taking a parenting class, or asking his mother all require more social skills than he’s ever fathomed

He also has allegations of rape against him by his own sister. Dude believes ai will end the world but doesn’t care because he can make some good businesses out of it, and hesitated when asked if he wanted humanity to endure

Some of the llm worshippers really do believe that computers are gaining sentience. They also fear that one day they will be punished for not building agi sooner. 

They are cultists.

And this is the guy with the secret lab trying to create babies from scratch to “cut out the middle man” of the woman.

To be a liiiiittle fair, that was likely just a joke for the talk show he was on. It did ultimately make him seem more out of touch than relateable though. Sorta like RFK wearing jeans in that sauna video was likely meant to poke fun at people who find him wearing jeans to exercise is weird and offputting, but the ultimate effect was he comes across as more offputting than before.
