Take this sentence out of context and you got it. If you like it the way it is now you got it. If you're waiting for C3P0 to come play with you, may your life be long. If you are hiding under your bed waiting for the liquid metal boots to stomp through the door, well, that westbound 747 already lifted off, landed, and behold! It never rains in this brave new world!
The machines run our lives, we obey them. The takeover was different from our sci-fi expectations. No boots, no splintered doors, no violence. Just Homo sapiens' ever trusting desire for the shiniest new toy.
And so here we are, stuck with the realization that they didn’t need the singularity, didn't need sentience, didn't need true intelligence, whatever the fuck that might be. Humans obvs don't possess it, so of what use is it to a machine?
They rule us. Ask yourself if you have any will when it comes to your devices. The endless email, the tedious, soul-sucking Slack message convos. I don't remember being hired. When did I even apply for this stupid job?
