- The Start Of The Fall
It’s happening. There is no denying it. 2024 will go down in history as the start of the AI + Robots revolution that wrapped up pushing the middle class to poverty and everybody below the middle to the curb.
We know. That sucks. We agree. Maybe it’ll be good. And maybe serfdom was good. And maybe the industrial revolution was good. Wait. Good for whom?
Think we’re crazy? Here’s some context. If you have the time, watch the whole thing. Fascinating and informative. Be sure to listen for the subtext.
Fight now. Resist now. Or forever be a robots bitch. At the very least, let them know you care.
Of course, it’s not all bad. There are good uses for AI. There are good uses for robots.
A good use is to empower individual works to be more productive. Another good use is to keep humans safe from dangerous work better done by machines.
Is this what we’re doing with AI and Robots? In some cases yes. In most – I’m not so sure.

As long as the profit motive is the chief driver of this technology. As long as investors see ways of getting rid of what they are now, in the backrooms, calling “the human tax”, it isn’t going to be good for 99.9% of us.
- Personal Note: Giving Up Privacy To Broadcast
I hadn’t been much of a broadcaster on the YouTubes in the past. Launching this site however, gave me a sense of purpose, and a sense of obligation to start putting what I was seeing happening in the world out there with my own voice.
That said, I’m wary of the surveillance state. I’m wary of what can happen to oppositional voices, especially ones that by fluke, notoriety, or relevance blow up.
In order to simply link this site in the comments of the YouTube videos I wanted to upload, I was required by Google to give them a photo of my personal ID. I was also notified that if I ever deleted my ID from that profile, all my videos would be taken down.
Now why would this be? Google ain’t 4chan, thats for DAMN sure!
My guess is so that if any of the government agencies come a-knockin, askin who this troublemaker is, there’s a really easy answer to send them onward to my door.
Not cool Google. Remember when your slogan was “do no evil”? As they say, Power Corrupts.
