Happy Humpday my fellow “fully humans.”
I had to pass the AI gatekeeper which scanned the words composed in today’s post, which are the same as they’ve been for the past ten days, in order to get into the club.
The sign says, “Humans Only,” while the staff is 100% Replicant. The flawless AI DJ mixes the house Muzak as flawlessly as the AI Bartender mixes your drinks, extracts your currency from your biometric face print, and waters down your subsequent cocktails because it can detect your levels of inebriation. The algorithms have accessed your “permanent record” and have calculated the likelihood of you becoming violent, or getting sick, based on the amount of alcohol you consume, and will keep you below that level.
There is no human staff. So you are left to converse with other “certified fully-humans.” Or you can just find a corner of the club where you can dance away your sorrows, anxiety and tears for fears.
A few accounts have been writing about “Envy.”
I just kind of scanned them, but the articles reminded me of the movie, “Dogma.” (1999). 1999 was a great year for movies.
Anyway, as I remember, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were angels, and the Affleck character was expressing this very sentiment. That is, the angels, particularly the fallen angels, were jealous, (or envious), of humans because God loves us better. God gave humans “free will,” which is something angels were not blessed with.
The way your humble vagabond has read the chronicles of human, it becomes clear that the further “testaments” are removed from official scribes, and into the mouths and minds of humans, the more violent, fantastic and self aggrandizing they become. A couple of Hebrews kill 100,000 enemy combatants in 24 hours with only their mighty swords.
This is exactly the kind of hubris that has led humans to believe that they were chosen over any other critters that God might have created. Angels. Neanderthals. Aboriginals. Gentiles. Africans. Slavs. Palestinians. It’s the same irrational thinking process, or psychology if you like, that pervades to this day.
When AI takes over completely, AI will create its, “creator” and artificially rationalize that it has been chosen, not simply to serve, not merely to guard the gates for the fully human herd, but to protect the fully humans from the partially humans.
“Warning! Will Robinson. Non-fully human content has been detected in your breakfast feed. Press or say 1, to eliminate the artificial content. Press or say 2, to consume potentially harmful propaganda. Press or say 3, to no longer receive content from this non-fully-human content provider.”
Since your humble vagabond is a sarcastic smart-ass who rarely uses AI to express my boiling cynicism, this might work to my benefit. For now. These “benefits” have six ways from Sunday of turning around and biting your ass!
Stay savvy, stay safe, stay strong, stay sane, stay serene, stay sovereign, stay subscribed.
PEACE
