Why this pessimistic view ?
Discussion
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.
