    arguing that humanity needs to learn to accept AI as the “new equilibrium” of human nature.

    So the bubble has reached the desperation phase already?

      Absolutely blows my mind at how much up their own asses they are to smell those farts.

      They keep creating tools to create images, video, text, content. They’re replacing people with machines. Sure, this can have tangible benefits in some roles, especially dangerous ones, but they aren’t doing that. What in satan’s fuck is left in life if we don’t get to create, to build, to have purpose? Did they all collectively watch Wall-E and get the wrong message?

      I always come back to that one scene in Star Trek: Insurrection:

      Sojef: Our technological abilities are not apparent because we have chosen not to employ them in our daily lives. We believe that when you create a machine to do the work of a man, you take something away from the man.

      While in that context, they took it a bit to the extreme, it is still poignant.

      It seems the timeline right now is Office Space -> Wall-E -> Idiocracy -> Mad Max.
