Hacker News Reader

Normally if I saw someone with a bio that says:

"homeless techno-optimist and singularitarian. all I need is $80B to solve any problem with AI"

I would assume comments like these are jokes, but on hacker news I'm genuinely not sure.

Technically, if I had $80B, I could solve most problems because I could contract them out.

People love money and so they're willing to do a lot in pursuit of singular goals like merging biology and silicon into a technological god. Only problem is getting enough cash to actually achieve the mission. As a member of the techno-optimist church I believe that profit incentives will achieve the technological singularity. It is inevitable and simply a matter of time.
