I KNEW it! I KNEW these bastards were up to no good! I thought we were training A.I. but never attached that thought to training self-driving cars!

They really do have us creating our own self defecating/driving prison for them.

There's probably fine print in contracts for universal basic income that you will be driven around for free until an assigned expiration date on which they will turn you into fertilizer for a GMO tree.

Gee, where do I sign up to be driven up a tree? .... or "accidently" driven into a tree?

This isn't feeling like a tree of LIFE adventure :)

What we are experiencing is a combination of the Mad God scenario of the Gnostics mixed with Glen Kealey saying that the earth is one giant computer that is self aware so all of this carnage and geophagy is it trying to experience EVERYTHING because it is bored out of its fucking mind and it wants to send US into space to experience/rape the entire rest of the universe.

I'm not feeling exceptionally rapey today ... I'll settle for the car ride experience & see where THAT takes me :)

So.... space travel is out?

Think of the impact (or lack of it) of zero G on achey joints.

Can I opt for laying around on my couch where the space between my ears simply monitors my achy joints?

scan your computer often for malware, but at the level of A.I. it can probably infiltrate and there won't be any maleware detected.

This is why I always write my envelopes for snail mail in cursive (and my handwriting is very artistic and complex with script-like flourishes); just to piss off The Machine.

I like to push the envelope.

I too use a lot of cursing in my writing.

Careful: The Machine has its own religion now. Fancy writing might be outlawed.

It's always better to be pissed off than to be pissed on.
