Facebook comes to mind: It was awesome at first. It was like a modern version of a BBS but with an interface that made it easy for everyone to use. But 10 years after its inception, it was being used to install socialism in the USA.

Notice the similarity with AI: It's cute and cuddly right now. You can ask it silly questions and get funny answers. But what sick agenda will it be be fulfilling in 10 years?

That's a good point, but think about the advantages of conducting a ground war when you have an army of soldiers that's immune to injuries, and is born on an assembly line.

Then there's the added advantage of being able to blame it on "an AI computer malfunction" or "this one bad guy masterminded it and he is now in custody." Sorta like "a bat from the wet market did it."

And if that's not enough, there's yet another advantage "Due to the AI massacre disaster, we will now be controlling all communications much more tightly as a precaution - and if you are against that then you are part of the problem."

I'm not trying to stress you or anyone else out with this, but the covid-19 stuff was a very dirty trick that was played on us and I want people to be as ready as possible for the next rabbit that gets pulled out of George Soros' hat.
