    The only takeover "AI" is doing is fucking up the economy. LLMs will never be Skynet.

    Me on Jan 1: It’s a new year. It can’t be as bad as 2025. I’m gonna stop drinking, and exercise, lay off the weed, and cook healthy.

    USA on January 3: Invades a sovereign nation and kidnaps leader.

    Me on January 3: Fuck it. Chugs from a 5th of whiskey while rolling a blunt.

    AI takeover is how the bubble breaks and causes the economic collapse. Humans revolt against the machines resulting in WW3.

    You left out “corpo fiefdom”.

    Cyberpunk 2077 is supposed to be a caricature (and inaccurate in some ways), but politically I feel like that’s where the world is rapidly heading. It seems to be where a lot of political leadership wants to go, and where other leadership is not sufficiently afraid of.

    When you stop giving a shit it gets a little better... at little. But I don't have kids. Fucking nuke my ass. As long as the end is not painful at this point I don't give a shit.

    All three in succession.

    The AI takeover is already underway, but the AI isn't actually intelligent enough to be successful. So AI slop will result in economic collapse. A depression will make people feel they need to give authoritarians more power and that will result in WW3.

    You are either the best person someone can talk with or the worst person. All the people with at least 1 of these hobbies are like that

    I like reading about revolutions so you could call it a specific mix of thing's I've admired along the way but yeah. Unrelated I also think mechanical watches are cool so that's another interest that could go either way lmao.

  • We'd need AI for an AI takeover, so we're safe on that front
