Somehow, AI is going to be responsible for both dystopia and utopia. But the good news is we have 18 months to get ready!

      Their plan? Bring it about so that Rocko’s Modern Basilisk can torture the unbelievers (as if hearing their inchoate speculation about what the-computer-that-can’t-even-do-math-consistently will one day be able to do isn’t already torment enough).

      These dumbasses have reinvented premillennial dispensationalism.

      For the rest of us, I guess Butlerian Jihad is always an option.

      Prediction: Dude will have a book out about how to survive it in the next 12. Or he’s aiming to receive a bonus from someone he knows who’s already writing one.

            i feel like this is more of an inevitability. at one point we are going to be looking at law. and how absurd it is and how ita being broken by actual governments and big tech and be like you know what…fuck it. we ball. and suddenly we are the wild west again where no one gives a shit what the big man says because he is full of shit. and we just do whatever the fuck we want. sadly, i suspect guns are gonna play a big part on both sides.
