I have a creeping suspicion that many of my real life acquaintances do not actually read my emails and messages anymore. They just feed it to the AI and reply with whatever AI comes up with.
Also, messengers and email providers have started to integrate that shit in their apps, so very soon it actually might be harder to write or read something by yourself, than simply click the AI icon... or maybe there won't even be any icon at all. Just already generated reply with Send button... or even just automated AI slop reply without any button whatsoever.
This realization, of course, gives heavy incentive to do the same. Why would I read or write anything if another party doesn't? Why bother when no one is reading it anyway? This way it is only a matter of time until everyone becomes a mindless button clicking zombie unable to read anything longer than few words and watching anything longer than a minute or so.
So, the plan, apparently, is to turn us all into some kind of collective borg. Where no one thinks for themselves anymore and everything (everything!) is being mediated by the system, humans becoming only a kind of a meatsack appendages to the system.
Well, guys, if this is not the end of human race, I don't know what is. No wars or political shitstorms can come even close to AI in terms of threat to human existence. Especially when this is heavily promoted by the powers that be.
If every damn country is in debt, who are they paying???!!!!
What would happen to a modern(ish) country is every power plant, bridge, and water treatment plant were destroyed inside a one week period?
The US could certainly do this. But it might not be advisable.
This is just common sense right? A higher being creating us logically makes sense.
Sleepers Awake!
It was Thoreau who said, “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” While Thomas Merton wrote, ““Most of the world is either asleep or dead. The religious people are, for the most part, asleep. The irreligious are dead. Those who are asleep are divided into two classes: those who are asleep and know it, and those who are asleep and do not know it.
Most people drift through their days on autopilot: scrolling, consuming, chasing the next distraction, repeating the same scripts they’ve been handed. They sleepwalk through life, eyes half-open to the deeper realities—truth, beauty, goodness, and the instinctive pull of the transcendent. It’s an old observation.
The spiritual life is precisely about waking up—shaking off the slumber of sin, comfort, ideology, or mere routine. The saints were the ones who were amazingly alert, awake and clear eyed about themselves, the world, others and the empowering grace of God active in the world—constantly re-creating the world.
“Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light” (Ephesians 5:14)
Matthew 28:10-15
While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had happened. The chief priests assembled with the elders and took counsel; then they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him while we were asleep.’ And if this gets to the ears of the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” The soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has circulated among the Jews to the present day.
