it’ll fuck everything up, but tbh it’s oke. better a machine than humanity itself, at least it gives me some kinda hope.

Why this pessimistic view ?

no room for pessimism here, sir, it is what it is. pure observation. name a single technology that hasn’t ended up being used for evil. if a sentient one, then it mixes both of worst worlds: tech itself on the hands of a few and the sin of knowledge. this equation translates to one result: control. considering people are nowadays begging for it (control), then yeah, perhaps it’s “good” for humanity. cuz AI, biometrics, nanotech and quantum computing altogether will turn this world into a prison.

Every technology had its good and bad sides, but surely AI will bring a lot of good in the world too !

ye, that’s what I meant 🫡
