I saw those disembodied heads and hands on a jumbotron during the biggest televised New Year's celebration in my country too and I don't need a YT video to tell me it's satanic. my question is are those people so far gone they have their sense of aesthetics so corrupted or is someone fucking with the public? probably a mix of both, but the person who greenlits this kind of show must want to see the world burn. I feel like seeing a giant face in the sky would make anyone want to go to war. because that's the endgame here, right?
My theory is that humans instinctively desire a higher power figure ie a god or gods, there have been some studies and theories on this for a while, like how many people without any religion will start displaying weird religious behaviors and attitudes towards a corporation or a product brand, or they will latch very aggressively onto an ideological group that winds up operating like a religious cult, so anyway most humans consciously or subconsciously have this intrinsic compulsion or psychological need, and the psychopathic "powers that be" are always trying to position themselves as that god figure, in this particular case in the form of AI that they can then puppet from behind the scenes like the wizard of oz, the npcs that gravitate towards it tend to see advanced AI as having a sort of "purity" without any of the "messy" or "irrational" pitfalls of human emotional and moral reasoning, thus the advanced AI qualifies as a potential god figure to them
highlighting this, because these are some interesting points
