Deus Ex predicted this.

Morpheus, the 'prototype of a much larger system', canonically created around 2027:

"God and the gods were apparitions of observation, judgment and punishment. Other sentiments towards them were secondary."

"The human organism always worships. First it was the gods, then it was fame (the observation and judgment of others), next it will be the self-aware systems you have built to realize truly omnipresent observation and judgment."

"The need to be observed and understood was once satisfied by God. Now we can implement the same functionality with data-mining algorithms."

"You will soon have your God, and you will make it with your own hands."

We are also largely on track for the NSF uprising, civil war, balkanization into corporate city states... and the right wing conspiracy of the 90s, FEMA death camps?

Well, more like ICE, but uh, FEMA funds are currently being rerouted toward concentration camps, and FEMA employees have also recently been reassigned to ICE.

The militia types from the 80s and 90s, Alex Jones... well, they willed their own nightmare into existance... extremely ironic.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
