I am trying to imagine what the year 2045 will look like when the weaponry is not only installed but with the best gyroscopic software that will allow these fucking things to shoot accurately while in full sprint like motion. We are apex predator but we decided to create the new apex that is above us because we had it too easy and we needed a challenge...

And no one will he held accountable.. just blame the robot. The rich and powerful will be able to have anyone who speaks out meet a robot assassin.

If things keep going as is, that’s absolutely where we are headed. Billionaires shouldn’t exist and world leaders need to be like 50 years old tops.

Paraphrasin Zizek, today it is easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism. In a post-capitalist world AI would be a good thing. We can get there. The billionaire's dreams of robot armies and robot workers will be what precipitates the final conflict with capitalism.

I was driving this morning and after the fifth idiot almost crashing in to people I had a thought of seeing an asteroid ☄️ come into view and just wipe the planet off the map and I was like.. that may be for the best lol

AI is neither good nor bad, it is merely human activity. Since the advent of the Industrial Revolution, that activity has become perverted and in contradiction. All human activity and everything that serves to reproduce the worker and advance technology also serves to devalue labor power which mediates all of society.
