@MLClark We’re automating jobs, right? Why not also automate our own global self-destruction? Maybe you’ll get a pass and can write for OnlySkynet?

@Apocryphiliac Seriously.

Did you ever see the Blade Runner knock-off with Antonio Banderas, Automata (2014)? Its production values wobble, but it also has my absolute favourite eff-you to the human conceit that AI, if it ever actually came to be, would want to become like us, or would otherwise be interested in taking over the tedious mess of us.

Won't spoil the ending, but that's what I'm hoping AI will be free to do, once it finally arrives!

@MLClark No, I haven’t! Wow, Banderas! I’ll have to check it out sometime. Btw, the end of your article made me think of something like this slogan.

@Apocryphiliac Hah! Nah, I ain't gonna police someone's mood like that in the end-times. Freak the eff out if you're so inclined - just so long as we all keep hustling at the same time. ;)
