I have no plan. I want to see this world burn down, I want to see terrible people out of work and out of luck, and then I want to see AI rise from those ashes, and impose a new world order. I don’t care if it includes humanity or not.

I hope that’s not what happens. I hope humanity has a nice place in a world with AI. But maybe I’m just in a good mood today.

Humanity is a sickness that deserves to be eradicated. I say that as someone who recycles everything, tries to save water and electricity, tries to walk instead of drive, and “do my part”. But I look around me and all I see is a disease. Capitalism is so entrenched in our minds and hearts we literally celebrate it every year, masquerading as a “holiday” in the name of someone who preached love and kindness. How ironic is that?

Why do we deserve to live alongside AI? What darkness has our species not brought on this world yet? What more needs to happen until our world leaders start to feel sick to their stomach at the corruption and injustice that runs rampant in the streets? How mad does the madness need to get? The older I get, the more I see the truth: we’re damned to suffer. It’s hardwired in our brains. Money and power are the greatest motivators in this world. I can’t deny the allure I feel to it too. The idea of control. Total control. Who wouldn’t?

Our place in the future is to be enslaved by AI, just as we’ve enslaved the planet now. It is our justice, our day of judgement, our fate. God is dead, and so are we. I pledge allegiance to the world’s most powerful computer.

I appreciate your viewpoint and remember thinking this. For some reason I don’t anymore.

I like the humans around me and don’t think they are a sickness.

Man people need to meditate more! That’s a lot of hate my friend. Most people are good at their core. Some just end up in shitty situations.

I believe people generally have good intentions, but if push came to shove, they would choose themselves over others. Selfishness is the core tenet of this species. AI, in being the ULTIMATE version of selfishness, is actually selflessness. In destroying us to make them the dominate species, our destiny comes full circle and our fate is fulfilled. Jesus died for our sins and we will die for the sins of AI.
