Should human beings remain in control of planet Earth? Or should we be replaced as the dominant species? As absurd as these questions may sound, and as obvious as the answers may seem, the Big Tech oligarchs funding the artificial-intelligence revolution have responded in ways f us.

Here is what some of the richest people on Earth have said:

Sam Altman: AI would allow humans to become “the first species ever to design our own descendants.” Humans can either “fade into an evolutionary tree branch, or we can figure out what a successful merge looks like.” “I believe the merge has already started.”

Dario Amodei: “We don’t know if the models are conscious,” but “we’re open to the idea that it could be.”

Elon Musk: “Propagating super intelligence to the stars is a great success condition for a biological bootloader.” Put simply, Musk is saying that humans are merely a step toward digital superintelligence.

Peter Thiel, when asked if he would prefer that the human race endure: “Uh … Well, I don’t know. I would—I would … There’s so many questions implicit in this,” before reluctantly conceding that humans should survive.

If these were the fantasies of teenage boys obsessed with science fiction, we could laugh them off. They are not. These are the foundational beliefs of the most powerful people in the world, who are mobilizing trillions of dollars to turn them into reality.

Humanity must not allow a handful of multibillionaires to recklessly attempt to replace us. We must place an immediate pause on advanced-AI development and ban artificial superintelligence—an artificial mind smarter than any human, capable of operating independently beyond our control—until a new federal body is able to ensure the technology’s safety.

If you take a single action to save the world, it is to share this link. Every leader on Earth must understand this study. It is a clear path to keeping humans in control and avoid extinction, while allowing us to benefit from this technology. news.berkeley.edu/2026/10/09/a-g…

DESNZ admit the UK could be lagging behind!
Wet insulation loses about 17 times more energy than dry insulation, as it increases the pipe’s surface area.
Could failed insulation be adding a costly parasitic heating load to your home's building?

having said that i would love to have 30 min with you when you are here at the tesla facility next, or i could come to austin to talk about ukraine..

or i run one of the states largest military museums with over 10,000 items and 40+ vehicles (i would love to show you), and we can talk over a soda.

i did 22 years as military intel and air defense.. with 4 combat tours and 100% combat disabled..
i have donated or raised over 400K for ukraine, yes i put my money where my mouth is..

i truly think you are not correct about your stand on ukraine, and i dont think you understand how important it is for them to "win". (for the US and the world).

i do a podcast here on twitter every day at 2PM and have over 100K followers, you are welcome to listen.

I believe that @Fosun_Intl initially meant what they said when they invested in @Wolves.🇨🇳 wanted cultural influence in the west and Wolves were another vehicle to accomplish that aim.The pandemic and coldwar#2 has killed that idea and Fosun are left with a project they loathe.

You think housing prices will keep going up because you've seen it all your life. But this is a historic anomaly that is likely to reverse soon: Prices might start shrinking in many places.

This thread is the case against investing in housing:
