    This ignores the pattern of how we have been integrating technology into how we think, as it gets physically closer and closer to our brains. The AI algorithms already have massive control over how we think and decisions we make. Eventually we incorporate it into our brains, and we will no longer be able to differentiate between a choice that was made by the technology or by the human elements of our brain.

    The good news is that this increases the likelihood that we can cohabitate with AI. The bad news is that humanity will become indistinguishable and likely a decreasing factor in the direction that our world and society move toward.

    I was going to make a joke about how I wanted a Jurassic Park movie but with AI because this comic mimics the quote from Jeff goldblum. But then I remember that Westworld already exists

    Just wait until ai figures out that the conditions in the core of the sun are perfect for maintaining stable qubits…

    (Not true, but this comic gave me a bit of inspiration to run a ttrpg based on that premise)

    An incredibly unheard of but if history is the reign of Akenaten. We all know his son, Tutanchamun, or, how he was originally called Tutanchaten.

    You see the change in the name? That was the schism that Akenaten tried to enforce. He changed the religion from Amun-centric to Aten-centric. Atenism was basically referring just the sun as God.

    Akenaten tried to change the bloated religious and burocratic society that had arisen from priesthood being hereditary. There was an abundance of priests that provided little towards society.

    He tried to change the religious sphere by moving the capital, changing the religion to pure sun worship.

    After his death, though, Egyptians quickly moved back to their polytheistic ways and destroyed as much as they could of Akenatens legacy. His sun was renamed in Amuns honor and died quite young, spurring on conspiracy theories.

    I don’t really know how to bend this on topic. But the change to sun worship made me think of this. Only that the Egyptians only really shortly worshipped only the sun.

    I don’t think AI would enslave humanity. Like, there’s no point, is there? There’s nothing we’d be good at in that case.

    No, the two options are tolerate and eradicate.

      *Looks at all the training data*

      The point isn’t efficiency. The point is cruelty.

      i think human bodies are pretty good for doing physical work in complex non-standard environments. like fixing electronics and stuff. i suppose an ai could at some point simply manufacture everything it needs as simple standardized modular parts, that can be fully replaced if they break and that are simple to set up, but they would probably still need worker to bootstrap that. i don’t think robots are there yet, and even if they were, there arent enough of them.

      AI in a vacuum? Probably not. AI created by a capitalist Society for the goals of said capitalist Society by the fucking filth of said capitalist Society? Yeah I think they might.

    At this rate AI doesn’t enslave humanity but we spend so much resources on it that society implodes.

      They need to do something dystopian with the new tech or they won’t get investments.
