The overlords of so called #AI will never allow #UBI to replace wages when their creation destroys the jobs and lives of billions of people.
Its not just because they are greedy, #HyperCapitalist motherfuckers who want to keep all the #money for themselves. What are they saving all that #cash for anyway? #Hell?
I think its actually because these motherfuckers truly believe that #TheRaptureOfTheNerds will allow them to merge their minds with their machines and transcend onto a higher plane of existence becoming #immortal silicon based beings living as gods in the #Metaverse / #Matrix. (minus their legs obvs) Something like that anyway. Some of them seem to think the #Singularity is the #EndTimes of the Bible now too. The rapture of the nerds === #TheRapture apparently.
#ScienceFiction books of the last 100 years have a lot to answer for. It appears that when authors write about #dystopia everyone on earth gets a dystopian reality sooner or later. We should have stuck with 19th century Romantic poets and writers as our guides to the future. William Morris was right. Again.
99.9999% of humanity won't get the "AI" rapture future. Of course we fucking won't, for a start #Theil and co are massive racists so only white billionaires will be allowed in their metaverse. We will left to die in the gutter while the motherfuckers live a life of digital bliss.
At least the machines in the Matrix movies had a use for the rest of humanity. Somehow our bodies generated electricity for the machines. Better yet the machines were actually kind enough to plug all the humans minds into the Matrix to keep them acquiescent. I wouldn't mind living in a simulation of 1990s #NYC right now. Its a hell of a lot better than the second quarter of 21st century has turned out to be.
There is a very important question that the "AI" supreme beings have forgotten. Which is _*"Who keeps the #datacenters running?"*_ What happens to these silicon gods when the power goes out or the cooling water runs dry? They are not so omnipotent now are they?
When the rest of humanity decides that having vast #datacenters is killing the planet and turns them off. When those of us left behind decide to do something far better and important and turn off the useless, redundant datacenters. When we realise we hated the supreme beings all along and collectively say "fuck you" and turn everything off. When we are all wiped out by an ecological catastrophe / nuclear war / asteroid strike or other extinction level event and there is no one left to keep the lights on.
When any of that happens these bastards will die twice. Once when they give up their physical form to "live" in the Matrix and once when the lights go out in their virtual world. Good. The motherfuckers deserve to die multiple times for what they are doing to #humanity and the Earth. I say _*"Kill em all and let their digital gods sort them out."*_
May what ever gods, goddesses and other supreme beings there may be have mercy on us all.
Hail Eris.
KICK OUT THE JAMMS MOTHERFUCKERS!

“Brexit, just the beginning,” Epstein told Peter Thiel in 2016. After it comes: “Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances. You and I both agreed zero interest rates were too high, and as I said in your office. Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain.”
#Brexit, just the beginning.
Engineering the collapse of western #civilization so #billionaires can own the pieces for less money.

by Nafeez Ahmed in Byline Supemebt on Substack
“Peter Thiel’s data firm researched protest prediction for the US Army before agreeing to build ICE’s data platform to conduct mass deportation. Are its tools now targeting democratic dissent?”
