Over the last week, there has been a huge influx of Social-Engineers attempting to shift the narrative of AI and the future, mainly 3 things that have been being focused on.
Anti-UBI, Anti-Social Nets/Anti-Socialism, And Government Culling due to "AI" basically turning this into a conspiracy sub, on top of that, when you check most of these peoples profiles, they are usually all made around June 2022, and one of those profiles ((which is now deleted after being exposed)) was making comments every hour, for almost 3 days straight. ((The "you will be killed" post about UBI)).
They have become out of control, and have nothing to do with r/futurology.
I'm sure this post will get a ton of reports, but I'm going to make it anyways.
People need to pay more attention to who they are interacting with, this sub is quickly turning into exactly what is going on on Quora, from propagandists, where the same opinion is pushed over and over again until people think its the true.
Edit: To people saying I'm calling r/collapse conspiracy, I'm not, cause that sub mostly focuses on the climate crisis, which is not conspiracy, and saying that "government will kill you" is some sort of thing related to r/futurology is absolutely insane.
Edit #2: To make things even more clear, because apparently SOME people think I am saying all discussions about UBI And Isms should be banned, and are continuing to try and derail the conversation, maybe read the context at the literal beginning of the post. To people who I'm specifically talking about and are mad about this post, sorry that someone brought attention to your manipulation tactics.
​
The posts I am specifically talking about are posts that are so out there, that they are obviously just trying to scare people away from the idea of AI and UBI, being posted almost the exact same way, with the exact same context, just in a different sentence.
The future is scary, no doubt about it, but don't let yourself get mislead by bad faith actors.
