      What if we all plan the end of the world next April 1st. We will all pretend to start race and religious riots until all the billionaires get nervous and go into their bunkers. Then we strip off our costumes and masks and start mixing concrete to pour over the bunker doors and air intake.

      Eventually they won’t even need them. Your smart fridge reported you discussing seditious conspiracy and your smart washer has noted you own a black hoodie, aka terrorist attire. Your smart vehicle has been remotely disabled, and an Amazon delivery drone has been rerouted to terminate you after its final delivery. Don’t bother trying to turn off the tracking device in your pocket, it still pings even when powered down and between Ring and Flock we can see you at all times anyway.

    AI has already torched my creative side project I have spent hundreds of hours on to hopefully one day it replaces my miserable income. now that AI has been able to generate acceptable videos by the public. my revenue went down by 80%. and people are expecting lower prices in times of inflation

    People think there are wins to come, how I see it is that we have already lost the fight.
