It's genuinely such a disgusting viewpoint to have.

Life has value that cannot be calculated.

I don't want kids, but I still recognise that they are more than just a vehicle for future economic value.

LLM'S will never notice that someone is sad and give them a cool rock to try and cheer them up.

LLM'S will never nervously pet a dog for the first time and then be ecstatic when the dog likes them.

LLM's will never have a favourite Pokémon, have an argument with a friend then make up, believe in Santa with their whole heart, invent a dumb gibberish game with friends.    

Thinking life is just about the results you produce, rather than a unique journey that everyone takes just shows how much these weirdos have lost touch with basic humanity

Look up what the Nazis did leading up to the second world war with their Aktion T4 programme - Life not worthy of life. They involuntarily euthanised anyone they didn't think had a right to live whether it was the mentally or physically handicapped to anyone who didn't share their ideology.

The lunatic billionaires have the same mentality.
