I finally caught what all this reminds me of - the Expanse and that hivemind.
I wonder whether popularization of what they call “AI” is a result of some consistent strategy by big entities - having such paranoid thoughts lately. If people in charge there are generally ignorant in information theory (and also haven’t read Lem), they may really think that something like Eros will somehow emerge on its own.
Which it won’t, of course, but the heavy usage of this abbreviation (“AI”), if I went on with my paranoia, may too be a result of some common belief that it will.
If we think about Theranos’ investors, elites are really full of people who believe that some Star Wars level sh*t will just emerge on its own and they are the smart kind who’ll control it.
What about if the aliens are already here and they are mind-controlling the world’s elite to get rid of humankind and repopulate the planet with their own population or do genetic gathering from humans to improve their own population genes?
Paranoia goes 1000% level.
Edit: Don’t tell this to some fanatic MAGAs or they could do some crazy shit.
The reason you don’t hear them telling that to you is that for them it’s an obvious known fact. Old news. We’ve all seen They Live, X-Files and Stargate SG-1, those famous documentaries.
Pretty sure staff at places that handle Western Union payments are already trained to warn people when they try to send money for similar reasons, and I’ve read that plenty of people just refuse to believe it and act like the lady working the desk at Walmart is trying to keep them from getting the big payout the nice prince from Nigeria is going to give them.
I’ve triggered scam locks on remittance apps before also, and they were very pushy in informing me that I may be being scammed (I wasn’t, but I honestly didn’t mind too much) when I called to clear them.
My mother in law fell for these things… It wouldn’t have worked on her at all. I specifically and completely debunked the entire process to her. She didn’t care one bit and kept feeding into their shit.
Thought that image was ai generated, opened the article and turns out it is
Really hard to find a picture of an old Japanese person on the internet, I guess.

They could start doing crazy shit?

Pretty smart wonder if that would work in US?
