Safe in the middle? | TheaterFire

Well, in THIS universe, the Terminators are the most beautiful sex dolls ever created. You see, the 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human... sweat, bad breath, body odor, everything. The worst part? All their names are “GROK” no matter the sex. We are unsure where that name came from but the personality for each is based on an old human scent marker- musk.

Every time a Muskrat engages with a power squid, they end up in an endless loop. By that I mean the squid’s tentacle enters the lower port of the Muskrat while the Muskrat spews a black goo from its face orifice the squid uses to subdue humans in pods. Also… they both like money and bating…. It’s a vicious, endless cycle.

Presiden Camacho is on top of it

YarnBunny@reddit

He really was a great president. He cared about our country. I could totally see him doing this.

Spoilers, the terminators created the matrix after they won the war. Humanity is enslaved in warm gooey pods and get to live in the 1990s perpetually.

maybe the robots will be to dumb to win.

BirdDogPolitics@reddit

But are we headed to The Hunger Games? Or Wall-E?

Just saw a clip of face scanning robot dogs deployed in Texas right now. Awesome.

Replace terminator with wargames

I think the ironic thing about AI is that every Sci-fi version of AI is some self aware, superintelligent race that decides to destroy mankind.

The current version of AI we have seems more like a not self aware, dumb race that might end up destroying mankind.

For me the lesson is it doesn't really matter if AI ever becomes aware or not. For all intents and purposes the end result for us might end up being the same.

That's because we don't have ai at all, not even like an early version of it. We have pattern analytics and statistical regurgitation with enough data input and computing power to make it seem like it's talking. The underlying tech is useful but all these chat bots built from it are the adult equivalent of a furby, and we're feeding it the launch codes

cantwejustplaynice@reddit

Everything is just so exhausting now. It's genuinely hard to say if I'd prefer to be a fully awake human fighting for a better tomorrow or just a meat battery happily living in the 90's.

[-]

You-Asked-Me@reddit

Do you live in the US? Right now we are closer to the later than the former.

[-]

walrus40@reddit

Speak for yourself lmao

evemeatay@reddit

A better tomorrow honestly sounds like the meat battery option to me. Even if we win against the machines, some capitalistic ceo will ruin it in a week or two.

NPC261939@reddit

Not a huge Matrix fan myself. I don't know what the hell is wrong with me.

[-]

Panek52@reddit

At this point just plug me into the Matrix. Don’t even need to be someone famous, like an actor. Just back in 1999

[-]

PackageNorth8984@reddit

As much as I loved the N64, not trading in the games we have now, sorry. If not for those though, absolutely.

Just work to live and spend as much time in video game world as possible, ignoring reality. It works for me.

[-]

Fickle_Wrangler_7439@reddit

Video games and books, yep.

And the occassional long run.

I've checked out of the news. Don't see a point, there's nothing I can do anyway.

[-]

evemeatay@reddit

You just have to survive a while and the heyday of Xbox and ps games is about to hit and you can’t tell where still play games you’ve never played because they made about 10 million

[-]

dragon34@reddit

Same. But I want to pick my avatar. I want to know what it's like to be not fat in my 20s.

[-]

Panek52@reddit

Great call. So being thin and having present-day video games/TVs.

I don’t even think we’d need to sell The One out for that deal. Just a few minor favors for the machines.

TheGillos@reddit

Invasion by the Russians, a plague and totalitarian government, and a eugenics war, followed by WW3, nuclear near-annihilation killing hundreds of millions, and hope for the good luck of developing faster-than-light travel and meeting peaceful, intelligent aliens?

Hmmm...

I'd say "Don't Look Up" fits

Bloodpukethemighty@reddit

It fits a little too well, if you ask me.

You don't get to Star Trek before you Star Wars.

luxtabula@reddit

The matrix and Terminator have massive overlap. Idiocracy really doesn't fit in that at all.

[-]

ActuallyAlexander@reddit

The real world that science fiction is based on?

Ah, this must be some usage of the word "safe" I was previously unaware of.

We’re in a far dumber place than that. GenAI also isn’t even close to skynet, not scary.

[-]

Cael_NaMaor@reddit

So... is there a way we can nudge ourselves toward the Matrix side... plug me in & I'll be happy.

[-]

Queen-Butterfly@reddit

You’re already plugged into the matrix

Well this program f*kin sucks!!!

maxquordleplee3n@reddit

I would just add Robocop and Demolition man there somewhere perhaps with a dash of Total Recall.

[-]

mack_dd@reddit

Honestly, I am getting more of a Demolition Man vibes from this world, if anything.

[-]

naamingebruik@reddit

Really? I mean a few corporations gobbling everything up seems to be on the horizon, but a complete eradication of criminality and violence to the point where the police doesn't even know how to respond to it? And forgets what a 187 is? Seems highly unlikely

I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair

And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me

Jokers to the right

I don't think that's how this works.
