We're witnessing the robot apocalypse coming at us in slow motion. It's coming gradually, until one day it'll come suddenly.



It's slow motion because they only speed it up by 3-5x. If you play the videos at 30x then it will really look like it's coming at us at full speed.


Since profit controls everything in this society and we are in a regulatory capture government, there is only incentives to build murder robots, not disincentives.


The distinction today is that the murderbots work in the back office of your health insurance company.

Yet again, ours proves to be a really boring dystopia.


Most everything comes slowly and then all at once. Technology. Bankruptcy. Death.
