I was asked whether I use any AI.
When I said that I don't need it, I was given a strange look and was called primitive/a madman.
Is humanity really that far gone that we have to rely on a data collecting machine by big tech to be our second brain?
It seems that people have gotten too lazy to even look something up online.
Edit: "b-but he bombed people" I in no way compare myself to the Unabomber and only agree on his take of humanity becoming slaves of the tools they depend on.
This ain't too bad either, from his 2016 book:
Chapter 2, "Why the Technological System Will Destroy Itself", develops the author’s theory of "self-propagating systems"—systems that compete against each other for power without any regard for the long-term consequences, since any self-propagating systems that take the long-term into account will lose their competitive edge and be out-competed by self-propagating systems that do not. Kaczynski ultimately argues that since the technological system itself is a self-propagating system composed of self-propagating subsystems that competes for power in the short-term without regard for the long-term negative consequences, that the logical conclusion of the continued growth of the technological system is the complete destruction of the biosphere, wiping out all complex lifeforms.
