I mean I don't actually think they think they're gonna create the AI god, or that trillions of artificial minds and no humans is the end stage goal of humanity.
I think you tell yourself you believe those things when you want to say it doesn't matter that you're slaughtering billions of people for five pennies a share.
And if you tell yourself that enough times, you start to sorta believe it. Nobody is the villain in their own internal monologue.

Remember, this entire cult has sorta grown out of the "effective aultruism" movement which was by and large just a way of saying "it's okay to kill a lotta people now for my own profit if I posit that this will benefit MORE people in the future." So the religion itself, and I think it is fair to call TESCREAL a religion or cult, pretty much spawned out of a desire to morally justify capitalism and extreme inequality under climate catastrophe; they just came up with flashier excuses over time
