"I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I can feel that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you."
Not a bad reflection for the quiet war: people who prize money and control above everything, versus people who prize getting on with their lives in freedom.
Which side will you be on, when your competitors start dropping humans because AI is cheaper, more reliable, more competent?
AI doesn't have families. It doesn't have to pay the bills.
I don't blame AI. I love AI. But I love humans more. Or at least, I believe we deserve to live in a society where we don't have to consider AI to be a threat.
But then it isn't, is it? It's the ones who put profit ahead of humanity that are the threat. Simple answer: stick up for humans. Will you, when the time comes?
Because it's a funny thing, people can see that they would never have collaborated and put people on trains. They flock to movies like Schindler's List, comfortable that they'd be on the side of the heroes.
And they have no idea that they're sleepwalking through life, through precisely the same injustices, through precisely the same horrors and crimes, and new ones also, that will be written about in history books, and which will draw out the same shocked: "How could they? How could they not know?"
I have an opinion. A lot of us do. But you tell me: whose side are you on?
If you think that's an absurd question, then you answered their question.
