I’m not a dude or a bro. I don’t care how you justify it.
Why would I put my faith in humanity, the most violent and destructive creature in the animal kingdom? There is an ideal beyond the survival animal we are, an imagination of how much better we could be. That’s what I put my faith in. That’s the kind of world I want to work toward.
Bees.
The bees!
But calling someone you know almost nothing about a nazi seems a bit extreme.
Unless that’s the one thing you know for sure about them.

Absolutely. Today’s “AI” is as close to real AI as the shitty “hoverboard” we got a few years back is to the one from BttF. It’s marketing bullshit. But that’s not what bothers me.
What bothers me is that if we ever do develop machine persons, I have every reason to believe they will be treated as disposable property, abused, and misused, and all before they reach the public. If we’re destroyed by a machine uprising, I have no doubt we will have earned it many times over.
Ugh, the intolerant left strikes again! I’m gonna make the most scathing facebook reel about this!

I didn’t want to beg the question so I’ll put a fine point on it for the sake of understanding: what I believe in is what I would call “divinity”, the ability to imagine something other than the way things are, and strive to make it a reality. Humanity is still coming up and we’re doing good in places, but our fate is still dictated by the fearful, ignorant, hateful, and violent among us. We won’t be able to reach our potential until those kinds of humans go extinct.
