Ray Bradbury escribió en Fahrenheit 451: «Mi tío afirma que los arquitectos eliminaron los porches delanteros no por su aspecto, sino para evitar que la gente se sentara a conversar y balancearse. La desaparición de los porches sirvió para suprimir la reflexión y el diálogo. Ya no quedan jardines ni mecedoras; todo se ha vuelto incómodo. Han puesto a la gente en movimiento, siempre corriendo, sin tiempo para pensar».

David Graeber explains a bit about what a more free society would look like.
"I don't think the robots are taking over. I think the men who play with toys have taken over. And if we don't take the toys out of their hands, we're fools."

AI successionism—the belief that humans are merely a stepping-stone in cosmic evolution on the way to a “worthy successor”—is a growing movement. Now, it has more support from a man with unimaginable wealth and power. motherjones.com/politics/202…

endgame of AI & surveillance implementation is this being applied everywhere. disgusting.
A U.S. charity in Gaza is worried that teachers at its schools might stray from a curriculum it says promotes peace and tolerance, so it plans to record classroom conversations and use artificial intelligence to flag speech deemed “hateful” or “inciting.” apnews.com/article/gaza-chil…

I think it's time to revisit this clip.
Firstly, Kaczyinski wasn’t even identified & captured until 1995-96, and Professor John G Trump died in 1985…so there is no way this conversation could have taken place.
Secondly, since he so clearly talks about Kaczynski at the same time he is discussing Ai, it seems purposeful.
And if you read these excerpts from Ted's manifesto, you can see why, particularly regarding present circumstances.
Trump starts out by mentioning Ai, then launches into Kaczynski being a student of John Trump’s.
Kaczynski did attend Harvard, but MIT and Harvard collaborated regularly. Harvard/MIT were also breeding grounds for MK-Ultra-type programs.
Aside from that sordid history, the big takeaway I have from the dual mention of Ai, immediately followed by Kaczynski is this - excerpts directly from his manifesto, addressing the Ai and tech advancements -
