    The problem with social media is that people on it take half-truths like the T in LGBT ruining women's sports (has happened in a few cases) and exaggerating it to the point where they will make you believe it is happening at such a massive scale that society is on the brink of collapse which is very often not the case. And I partly blame social media because it probably is because of the feedback loop of getting way more likes and attention for giving you the exaggerated rather than the grounded version of these problems.

    About the _expansionists vs extinctionists_ duality Musk is promoting, I'd say it all fall into a Yin and Yang kind of proposition, that answers come from equilibrium between opposite forces, rather than chosing one or the other.

    About the fear of being awake (as in woke), it sure reveals just how some are mostly afraid of being afraid. I'll gladly take a trans woke AI I can reason with over anything else, because I can't stand the opposite, aggression, at intimate level (as I believe AI is a potentially very intimate tech): BWTB (better woke than bigot).
