'We have to reject that with every fiber of our being': DeSantis emerges as a chief AI skeptic

Whoever comes in after him, will undo any Ai blocks no doubt.

“The idea of this transhumanist strain, that somehow this is going to supplant humans and this other stuff, we have to reject that with every fiber of our being,” DeSantis said Dec. 15 during an AI event in Jupiter. “We as individual human beings are the ones that were endowed by God with certain inalienable rights. That's what our country was founded upon — they did not endow machines or these computers for this.”


I was waiting for a religious reaction to AI, it has been long in coming, but I did not expect it to come from DeSantis of all people. Thought it would come from the Pope since he had mentioned AI in his first week.

I keep thinking Butlerian Jihad with all this. How this will end up in the future.

Interesting. I wasn't expecting this from DeSantis either. Albeit reasons differing from yours.

He's completely under the table for the Trumpster, who cannot stop using AI to save his own life (at least online). I think he's the first to directly oppose AI in spite of Trump. Although him adding religion into this makes more sense, given his track record

it's the only kinda remotely sane thing DeSantis has ever said imo lol

Good friggin great damn news

I uninstalled Microsoft Copilot for good. And I'm not using it again. If I wanna fact check or figure something out then I'll research myself. If I want inspiration I'll get it from the internet. If I want movie and book requests I'll get it from people who've actually watched movies and read books. So tired of the misinformation. Not only does me quitting copilot somewhat decrease the water waste by 00000.1% percent and increase the chances of me getting a good job in the future by 0.0000000000000000001%, every little bit helps.

Sam Altman. Sam Altman. Sam Altman. The scoundrel.

Turns out Sam Altman "buying up" 40% of DRAM wafers was actually him writing Letters of Intent. Letters he supposedly had / has no intention of converting to actual purchases now. And memory manufacturers are just getting DUMPED on today - Hardware Canucks.

- Be Micron.
- Get excited about Sam Altman singing letters “intending” to buy 40% of DRAM.
- Close your entire Crucial consumer memory division so you can sell gamer RAM to OpenAI.
- Sam Altman loses investors, never buys the RAM he signed letters for.
- Google announces breakthrough saving AI 6x the RAM.
- Micron now stuck with all this RAM and no way to sell to consumers.

"Close your entire Crucial consumer memory division so you can sell gamer RAM to OpenAI"


Wait I am supposed to be feeling sympathy for Micron? This is all I have to say to them.

From August 2025

I had a thought today. If AI is going to wipe out the office class, it will wipe out Microsoft, who at the moment has a monopoly on office software. They are fools to push AI, because they do not have a monopoly on that. In fact people overwhelmingly prefer ChatGPT over CoPilot even though they both use the same OpenAI tech. There are competitors from other companies as well such as Claude, Grok, who knows what else not to mention Chinese ones.

I asked someone who would know what our org spends on Microsoft licensing every year and it comes out to about $800 per employee. That is for desktop Windows, Office 365 subscription, OneDrive/Sharepoint, SQL Server and IIS and domain controller and file servers (these are shared resources) and Azure licenses, software like Visual Studio etc.

That is an annual revenue loss to Microsoft of $800 for each employee who is replaced by AI. And the AI is not necessarily, or even likely, to be one sold/licensed by Microsoft. They are pushing a technology that is going to destroy their monopoly power and the entire world of office software. AIs don't care about user interfaces, they would be happy to use Linux, if they need to use office software at all.

I don't normally quote Elon Musk but today he tweeted "OpenAI is going to eat Microsoft alive" and I wonder if he had the same realization I did.

And now


AI is killing Microsoft


Microsoft CEO Concerned AI Will Destroy the Entire Company


Why are these CEO's so slow and stupid. Even a peon like me could see it coming a mile away. Microsoft should have been using its massive money and influence to stop AI dead in its tracks legally, because it is based on theft, and if allowed to continue may destroy capitalism completely by eliminating the consumer class.
