20 May 2026 - AI fear

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

A. Is AI really so bad? It's not like it's the end of the world.
B. But it is. It's the end of the world we know and the start of a new one that doesn't need us.
A. Oh, come on. If that ever happens, it's way off.
B. Who said it was sudden? Not with a bang but a whimper.
A. For a doomsayer, you don't act that worried.
B. Can't fight the inevitable. That's hubris. Anyway, I've known for a long time. At least since indigenous came to mean the same as endangered.
