If at least some sectors of human society do not wholly reject #AI with fervent rigor, then futures for the species look bleak. Consider the likely outcomes for us from a prone technofatalism before these machines: somewhere between the pampered and stupid cattle of Wall-E and total genocide. There must be viable redoubts wherein deployment of AI are immediately considered anathema for human dignity to endure. This is why #ButlerianJihad will be an ineluctable path for many.

In response to this postIt is likely great masses of humanity will soon be wholly curated by #AI: from fashions to myths to art to policing: all mainstream culture engineering compliance, *manufacturing consent* for regimes ordained by the various gilded elites - beyond the cognitive capacity of most to resist. Free redoubts must needs cleave to some rigorous multigenerational ethos. Those of us who want nothing to do with technological curation of us must strive to entrench a hard line. #ButlerianJihad #BoycottAI
Technofatalism as an ideology of compliance appeals to the logic of the rapist and the abuser. “You cannot stop progress, and we decide what progress means, not you.” Such denial of agency is the bedrock for regimes of coercive power, as it forecloses the possibility of free imagination, free action, free community. Technocracy’s fallacy of fatalism is a beguiling poison precisely because it entices with a Mephistophelian paternalism, confuses proneness with rest. #ButlerianJihad #BoycottAI
