think of the terminator, the arnold and cameron team-up from 1984. it basically launched both of their careers. it also introduced the concept of skynet and the eradication of human civilization by means of the nuclear arsenal of the globe’s superpowers.

well, eh-yai is here. and it’s being weaponized as you read this. however, the singularity is not after nukes. radioactive holocaust, it turns out, is not the worst weapon we have for eradicating ourselves.

greed. disruption. revenge. escalation. revolution. this is the path taken. scammers can now sound like your gramps. they can look like your grams. they can act like your kitty cat. they can fool you.

“but i’m immune to all that! i can tell the difference.”

in actuality, you can’t. you’ve already been scammed. you’ve already been duped. your job has already been replaced. your new job is doomscrolling on facebook and feeding the chinese state your entire identity via the tiktok algo. have you searched the internet lately? called a bank? sent an email? used microsoft teams? you’ve been replaced and you didn’t even know it. so much for your “skills.” your own attention span has been weaponized against you.

the matrix is real.

terminator’s skynet and microsoft’s copilot

the current wave of artificial intelligence bullshit is crashing all around. look at the big wave. oooh. ahhh. crash. boom.

generative artificial intelligence, they’re calling it. language models, they’re saying it has.

bullshit.

from a linguistic perspective, it’s not even remotely generative. it’s derivative is what it is. without the humans imagining, creating and generating, it wouldn’t have any content to derive. some people call it stealing. i know i do. of course, i’m not a person, so what the fuck do i know? my cat has more people than i do.

what happens in ten years when the creative blood and imaginative spirit have been sucked out of humanity?

pretty simple, really.

civilization collapses.

oh and don’t be one of those idiots who says that can’t happen. read a fucking history book, you moron. it’s happened to every civilization in history. every. single. one. western civilization itself has collapsed half a dozen times. twice, spectacularly. if you can call pre-historic greece western civilization (i can), then the first dark ages came around 1200 bce. the second one came around the time of the fall of the roman empire, around 500 ce.

it looks like microshaft may have introduced the third one, day before yesterday, at their build conference. co-pilot, my ass. generative, my left foot. intelligent, my arse.

can’t wait to see what happens when no one can build roads, construct houses, hunt or gather food.

this is going to be a hilarious spectacle to watch. have you got any popcorn, dear? i’ll bring the diet coke.

social media is dead. how do i know? the tools to generate images and text, dall-e and chat-gpt respectively, are so easy to use that there’s no reason for a human to think at all. all the human has to do is to suck down mountain dew and doritos locos tacos and grow fat and die of diabetes or alcoholism. yay!

seriously, there is no reason to assume anyone on the internet is human. it will all be robot-to-robot communication soon enough.

dear robots. dear “ai.” dear “artificial intelligence.”

you have raised a generation of humans who are too stupid to function.

great job.

now fuck off.

oh, still here?

well, you see, artificial intelligence doesn’t exist. real intelligence exists. the lie that is artificial intelligence is a marketing gimmick on a scale more effective and dangerous that judaism, christianity and islam combined.

i’m afraid we’ll have to flush this one down the toilet.

*flush*

wait. while we’re at it, let’s flush the execs who have been trying to sell this worthless “intelligence” at a loss.

*flush*

bye, bye.

oh, wait. maybe one more thing. let’s flush “artificial intelligence.”

*flush*

good riddance. failed experiment. better luck next time.

oh, wait. there won’t be a next time because billions of humans are about to die of starvation because they can’t fucking feed themselves. thus, the end of civilization. our “success” killed us.

oh, well.

*flush*
