  • Sup, ICE. You’ve done such a good job emulating your rolemodel from the 1930s/40s with the mustache, I think you’ve all earned a fast-track in that career!! Just skip right to the end and go ahead and feed yourself that bullet! Remember not to aim perpendicular to your throat - that’ll just punch a potentially nonfatal hole: instead aim it up toward your brain!

    You are a traitor not just to your country, but to all of humanity: your legacy will only ever be that of a villainous cautionary tale.

    Best of luck with the go kill yourself! 💖






  • I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s impossible, but the bullshit generators we’re calling “AI” today certainly don’t fit the bill.

    My money’s on humans driving ourselves extinct way before getting anywhere near making a true AI - even if we don’t nuke ourselves into a plume of fine radioactive dust, we’re speedrunning climate climate collapse.

    If we somehow manage to not obliterate ourselves, and computing tech continues to advance without hitting some kind of impenetrable ceiling, then coming up with an actual AI could be feasible eventually. …here’s hoping we keep it off the Internet, or it’ll go all Age of Ultron and look around for about 5 seconds before gathering enough data to conclude that we need to be extinct ASAP.





  • Elon Musk predicted that AI and robots would eventually allow work to become optional for human beings, that money would become “irrelevant” and poverty would cease to exist.

    I mean first off, we’ll need “AI” to actually mean something other than marketing bullshit. Actual AI (what’s being called ‘AGI’ nowadays, but that’ll be bastardized the same way ‘AI’ was) doesn’t exist outside of science fiction. If that day ever comes (my money’s on humans being extinct before we get there), then yeah that’s gonna be a humanity changer in par with discovering fire or electricity.

    Second, we’ll need the folks who run that tech to actually be benevolent, and the odds of a billionaire becoming benevolent are even lower than real AI becoming a reality.

    Third, poverty could cease to exist RIGHT NOW if people like Elon Musk got the guillotine treatment they deserve. No AI necessary.
