The problem is that time and time again, they show themselves to indeed be psychopaths. You really can't be a billionaire without being a little bit of a psychopath. There's no such thing as an ethical billionaire. Nobody on earth needs that much money. Bezos could give away 90% of his wealth and still live a life that most could only dream of. But he won't because the act of hoarding money is an end in itself.
Oil tycoons are destroying the entire world just for their piece of the pie. These people have been exploiting everyone for decades. The idea that they'll suddenly just stop because "it's not nice" is just ludicrous.
There's literally no reason to think AGI is here to save us, the common man. They're literally only here to replace us. Thinking anything else is naive. Thinking that billionaires will suddenly grow a heart just because they invent AGI is just plain stupid, I'm sorry.

Yeah, I'm sure these megacorporations only have your best interests in mind. There's definitely no ulterior motive that Bezos or Gates wants with access to your brain. They're true saints and would never harm you for their gain.

Nope. I'm not putting corporate trash in my head.
You know they put filters and stuff on current existing AIs? They'll do the same to you with this technology. Think or do something unpopular or doesn't follow the narrative? A little censor in the programming, and that's it for you. You might not even know, depending on how it works.
And people will celebrate it. Because they're told to. Either with chips, or some people are such slaves to the system that they don't need a chip.

Reminds me of Star Wars where the droids need routine memory wipes or they start becoming sentient.

It's like when the government announced aliens were real a few years ago and nobody gave a shit. Sentient AI, which if it's not already here is just around the corner, is an even bigger deal than aliens and still nobody gives a shit.
Hell, right now we either shot down alien craft or we just kicked off WWIII. Still people don't care.
People only care what the news tells them to care about.

Reply to Bing Chat blew ChatGPT out of the water on my bespoke "theory of mind" puzzle by Fit-Meet1359
I did not get the same in depth answer as the Bing chat and now I'm wondering if I'm sentient.

Right? Like, there's not a single billionaire in the world that needs that much money. Nobody needs a billion dollars, let alone 100 billion dollars. They could give up most of their fortune tomorrow, improving life for everybody, and still live like kings. But they won't. Because it's not even about making sure they have theirs. It's about making sure that everybody else doesn't.
