Dude, fuck everything about that.

Reading nightly bedtime stories to my kid from the time she was six months old until she was almost 12 years old was an awesome bonding experience that I would never relinquish to a goddamn bot.

Automating real work so you have time to create stronger families and children with better mental health is where it's at.

Tech is ruining things. It’s creating distant, lazy, moody, easily manipulated people that don’t know how to cope in an economy that doesn’t compensate them. Birth rates are going down.

Seriously, who the hell are these miserable bastards who want to automate away the absolute best parts of being human?

They don't care about humanity: they're busy engineering a new species entirely. People think AI is being developed in order to serve us. That's wrong. They're building it to surpass us.

This is the equivalent of Cro magnons or neanderthals seeing the emergence of homo sapiens and thinking that people were there to help them. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The idea that they are engineering a superior "species" is a perspective rooted in raw narcissism if ever I have seen one.

You did call them 'miserable bastards', no? How right you were...

Watch “The Social Dilemma” on Netflix. … The attention of our population is under a stranglehold. Our information is sold so we get intrusive marketing to skew us to buy things we can’t afford. Our elected reps take behind-the scenes payola to do nothing or favors to big corporations. … Citizens United says corporations are people. I say then by default people are corporations too. Let people reap the benefits of big business. … Let’s slap lobbyists out of Congress & our elected officials at state level too. …

And that's rising kids? Even I would not want to deal with my 10 year old self. I dont ever want kids. I thought the point was to automate everything so that no one has any responsibility.

I don’t think you understand. It makes the stories and then you read it
