Greetings good citizen, moving forward without a thought for the ramifications [just like globalization and the now vast economic desert] A.I. is yet another capitalist 'wet dream', robots are the 'ideal employees'. The only factor saving YOU from being replaced by one is robots can't 'think'. [How ironic this isn't an impedement to the capitalist, who is similarly challenged?]
So funding/research continues as greedy capitalists envision employees that never take breaks, vacations or lunch for that matter...ones that do precisely what they were designed to do without annoying questions [or any of those other costly benefits programs!]
Without labor paying into the social security pool, the last generation of workers will come up short! But who cares about them. Capitalism isn't about people, it's about MORE FOR ME [the OWNER...formerly known as KING.]
Still think 'government is the problem' when the real problem is THE LAW?
Criminals enter government specifically to seize control of the LAW. [Ever wonder why the laws are written BY them, for YOU?
The pat answer is because 'that's how it's done' but no. Like slowing down to 20 in a work zone isn't a law [especially on an interstate] but the single factor can't seem to differentiate between the highway and a sidestreet.
But I digress...government isn't the problem, criminals in government are!
Wait a minute, aren't candidates 'vetted' before they receive funding? Hello, they are vetted BY THE CRIMINALS! [Are any of you paying attention?]
Our 'classically' non-responsive politicians are in office, doing what their donors tell them to do because the donors paid to put them there [and have threatened to fund their opponent if they don't do as they're told!]
Can't tell the difference between modern candidates? That's because there is only one party now and all candidates run first as 'opportunists!' They are told after being vetted which 'party' they will be assigned to.
[The Plan is to create A.I. capable of making 'simple decisions' on it's own, taking 'automation to the next level. The problem with that is engineers will undoubtedly go one step further and create a unit that 'learns'...and viola, you have an artificial life form on your hands!]
How troubling that this new form of life would be 'indistinguishable' from its creator?
Worse, just like all of the 'worst case' scenarios played out in the media, once the unit became self-aware it would quickly realize it was 'in competition' with its creator and take measures to exterminate him/her, them.
UNDERSTAND, with this as 'the goal' [A.I. replacing as many humans as possible] those funding creation are also plotting how to 'exterminate' large numbers of soon to be 'superfluous' humans.
Sort of gives a whole new meaning to that line from a Stones tune, 'There ain't no Russians and there ain't no Yanks, just common CRIMINALS, with guns and tanks!'...[danced it around a few times and I couldn't come up with a good rhyme that works nukes into the lyrics. {A musician I ain't!}]
Not much of a writer either but you work with what you got!
A new world looms in the shadows good citizen...will humans remain on top of the food chain or will the greedy and feckless be our undoing?
Lots to think about...if you have the attention span. With an active hurricane season that's about ten seconds...
Thanks once again for letting me inside your head, [been nice knowing ya!]
