A(I)pocalypse
As we draw closer to the end of this decade, which temporally aligns with the benchmark designated by the infamous United Nations, and their sinister "Agenda 2030"-which is really the legacy crown criminocracy's agenda, and/or whoever or whatever might be behind the LCC-it's looking more and more like the great procession of end of the world dramas churned out by Langleywood over the last two to three generations, most of which have been far from great as cinematic offerings, make more sense when understood as misdirection rather than predictive programming. Among the countless zombie apocalypse yarns, nuclear holocaust tales, God's wrath fables, and so on and so on, few, if any, depicted the present scenario with any gusto. In fairness, this outcome hasn't fully played out yet, but, from my vantage point, the proverbial handwriting is on the wall.
The scenario I have in mind has a definite theme: mankind's obsolescence, courtesy of the A(I)pocalypse. The 4th Industrial Revolution, as some refer to what is in process now, is about replacing "the tech" known as homo sapiens, lock stock and barrel, and not just some subset of our species. As I attempt to parse the script, at minimum, humans are meant to become totally integrated with the tech to a degree that means that, at minimum, we're subsumed and altered to such a degree that we're destined to become unrecognizable to ourselves. I suppose "the Borg" episodes from Star Trek may be said to be the closest to some type of predictive programming.
This time around, the industrial revolution isn't just about innovation in ways that alter the trajectory of human civilization by giving us new tools with which to re-fashion civilization. Oh, no, this time around it's about the tools being used for the purpose of moving on from mankind, or, at minimum, moving on from our primacy in the order of things, assuming that we've ever actually occupied top rung status. The, so called, learning language model, which is the essence of AI, is about a lot more than creating human labor redundancy. At its core, "machine learning" is about putting mankind on the fast track to incarceration and then extinction, unless one construes that the countless numbers of us who are, as I write, being rendered permanent wards of whatever passes for "the state" in UBI hovels are meant to be maintained permanently in the manner of beloved house pets.
Just to be clear, my view is that AI is simply another product of the simulation. The claims of AI's capabilities, now and prospectively, which are flogged by countless bots, operatives, and useful idiot fanboy accounts on perception management platforms like X, are built on a veritable mountain of GIGO sand. Millions of AI programs all communicating with one another is akin to millions of benighted voters all pulling the lever for the same candidate. Gaudy numbers and brute computing power do not confer gravitas, and they are far from a guarantee that any such communication will translate into insight, wisdom, or genuine creativity, though, undoubtedly, something profoundly awe-inspiring-where the word awesome does not necessarily mean beneficial, let alone good-will ineluctably result from what is shaping up to be, arguably, the grandest and most infernal Rube Goldberg contraption (some portion of) mankind has ever unleashed.
