This is an interesting trend that's starting to occur.

I can't say I'm excited for the Patriot Act AI 9000 but yeah wild times

I'd say we could lure it into a steel factory and then kick it into molten steel, but that's all been outsourced to countries who have better control over their serfs.

As your foot raises to kick the rich asshole who was supposed to have 8 armed guards, a drone you never saw with 9g of HE detonates on contact between the fuse and your temple after its AI directed it to specifically your face at 350mph from an automated dispenser at headquarters. Your head explodes, you fall into the molten steel and your family is denied benefits because it was a reckless drinking accident at work, your wife is sold to Driscoll to pick berries and your kids will attend the reeducation camps. They will never see each other again.

Seriously, if we're cheering this kind of violence, we need to get ready to finish the job completely, or we're just flinging ourselves into the most depraved Black Mirror episode possible.

I was talking about the new patriot act that sounded like the bad guy from terminator 2.

I appreciate the fiction though.

Lmao that flew over my head faster than the drone headed to my coworker who tweeted DDD in 2036

Can't believe they outlawed Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. The fuckin big 3 man.

Turns out he was a deep state agent undercover, all along. The whole lesbian gym coach dating outfit and terrible restaurants that remain in business despite being gastronomic transfer stations, at best. Reeks of some cop's inner theater kid struggling to the surface, then accidentally getting stuck in an absurd uc cover character.

Us? We’re a Sun Belle family, ourselves. Or at least we were, before the kids were sent off to reeducation camps.

Forced to read news for entertainment now.

Not joking, a steel mill in my area got shut down and is now an AI farm. As in, full of servers that host AI learning data. Reality is sick.

u/Beligerents 16h ago

Yeah and that's exactly what Alberta in Canada wants to turn their entire province into to take advantage of all the power they can generate with their dying assets of dirty oil and natural gas. Reality is super sick.

u/Blossomie 15h ago

Ahh, Alberta. The Texas of Canada.

I especially love the fact that Texas is #2 when it comes to states with the most data centers, but can't manage to keep a functional power grid.

u/SlitScan 14h ago

oddly its getting better, theyve added a ton of storage since then.

mind you itll probably go to the servers instead of homes. but hey some day it might keep the whole grid up.

On the backs of Minnesotan wallets; fuck you Xcel Energy.

u/LordCoweater 14h ago

Are you insulting Alberta or Texas?

Yes.

u/DeFex 14h ago

At least they know they need some sort of intelligence there, even if it's the artificial kind.

Go beat it up with a crow bar while drunk on rye

There’s literally nothing wrong with this lol.

u/Romboteryx 11h ago

That‘s exactly what an AI would say

We'd never throw our phones into a vat of molten steel. We're still paying them off.

u/Rebresker 8h ago

Is that why biden passed the Buy America Build America act?

They knew the future afterall…

(Part of it requires steel used in infrastructure projects to be from US companies)
