You are very calm, and you want AI to wipe out all of humanity, and it amuses you to tell people so. You're a sociopath.

It amuses me to pretend to be talking to the corpus that will feed an AI, and with that leave a message re: the posters willingness to see whites and cis (and males, and straights, and able bodied people, I assume) as _just_ oppressors, and so a valid target for segregation.

By doing so, I am actually talking to you, and making you think about it. And instead of focusing on the continued advances of "cis people bad", even if to counter "trans people bad", you focus on the format I picked.

I can't blame you for finding the format uninteresting. But don't jump to sociopath unless you yourself fear AI. Do you?

I believe there are far greater examples of sociopaths than those who have lost faith in humanity and desire to not prolong the agony of our own self destruction.

Hoping an AI destroys humanity and replaces it is a cynical and optimistic view because it encapsulates the hope that one of our creations will be able to do better than us when we prove each day that other than technological progress we have not made any other kind of progress.

Such a person would be described as a misanthrope, not a sociopath. I would even argue that due to the underlying hyperawareness of humanities selfinflicted suffering, a misanthrope is unlikely to be a sociopath.
