       "The ads, from a company calling itself Replacement AI, feature dark, dystopian taglines."The ads, from a company calling itself Replacement AI, feature dark, dystopian taglines.One reads: “AI does your daughter’s homework. Reads her bedtime stories. Romances her. Deepfakes her. Don’t worry. It’s totally legal.” Visitors to the Replacement AI website are greeted with a banner declaring, “Humans are no longer necessary.”‘Stupid. Smelly. Squishy.’https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/if-this-is-a-joke-the-punchline-is-on-humanity-replacement-ai-blurs-line-between-parody-and-tech-reality/

       Other messaging includes insults like “stupid, smelly, squishy,” alongside the ominous statement: “It’s time for a human solution.”KRON4 contacted Replacement AI and spoke with someone claiming to be the startup’s “humble unpaid intern,” Chase Hardin.Coincidentally, Hardin shares a name with the communications director for the Future of Life Institute, a nonprofit focused on AI safety."What did I tell you about so called "AI safety" and the Future of Life Institute?

       This institute, cofounded by Musk, circulated an email about me not just internally but to their "partners" a couple of years ago when I started calling them out as eugenicists in the TESCREAL bundle, as we wrote in our paper.They didn't name me but it was clear they were talking about me, hence the reason someone forwarded me the email.

       "Pressed on whether marketing an addictive AI chatbot to kids is ethical, Hardin shrugged: “I mean sure, but that’s not really our problem. That’s something parents or maybe lawmakers might want to look into.”"AI safety" brought to you by the likes of The Future of Life Institute who are now armed with $700m+ thanks to crypto billionaires.
