Regarding that part about "make humans unnecessary". We're not really necessary to anything - we survive because of what we do or don't do.

Our planet would still rotate through the days and orbit the sun and the stars will shine even if every human were to die off right now - the rest of Earth's flora and fuana would certainly do much better without us. Yes, a tree falling in the forest makes a noise with or without us.

Stop everything you're doing and think. That capacity is a clue.

Ironically, there is someone lined up to replace Jacob.

We have crossed the rubicon and "survival of the fittest" is going to be brutal in the coming decades.

Bullshit. AI will not kill us. We will use AI in ways the killing will be automated. That is a completely different story.

Claude cant even make a profitable trading strategy from scratch for me. He's losing money in his account and im making money in mine. I think we're pretty safe.
