This is the "AI" billionaires claim to be afraid will enslave humanity folks...
... which is obviously a blatant attempt at misdirection, since it's *them* who are using technology to enslave humanity, *right now*, and have been for at least a decade.
ByronCinNZ@strypey Excellent point. This Degenerative Artificial Simulacrum of Intellegence (DASI) looks to me like a hype and dump scheme. The mechanism for enslavement is the old school mass accumulation of wealth

Ooh, that's a good one. I've been calling them MOLE; Machine Only Learning Engines ; )

"We have survived by hiding from them, and by running from them. But they are the gatekeepers. They are guarding all the doors, they are holding all the keys. Which means that sooner or later, someone is going to have to fight them."
Morpheus, '#TheMatrix', 1999
Incidentally it's funny watching the scene that quote came from again, and being reminded of the absurdly sectarian ideology Morpheus evangelises in it:
"If you're not one of us, you're one of them."

The later movies show us how he's wrong about a bunch of what he says here. It's a shame the subtly of the sequel scripts - and the ways they were butchered to satisfy the studio - meant that most people just didn't get the larger story arc of The Matrix.

I've learned to always be suspicious of an eithor/or dialectic. It is (always?) a manipulation tactic and rarely a true reflection of reality. There are more options than than whatever two are presented.
Yes, interesting in the Matrix how they realise the falseness of their reasoning. I always like a problematic story

As Hakim Hey put it in Temporary Autonomous Zone, paraphrasing an old Jewish proverb, "given two options, I take the third":
Reading TAZ had a huge impact on me in the late 90s, especially that bit.
