I’m surprised the religious fanatics (protestant) haven’t turned on AI yet. The ones around these parts think that UFOs and pokemon cards are satanic, so the Californian lying machice hat tells kids to kill themselves wouldn’t be much of a reach.

Generally conspiracy theorists aren’t interested in actual things that cause real problems, I think. Air polution and global warming being deliberate decisions by elites who don’t care about killing millions, for example. But if you want to see some actual apocalyptic conspiracy of “AI”, as in it is literally the manifestation of the body of the Beast, check out Paul Kingsnorth’s substack. This is a burned-out environmental activist who radicalised anti-immigration with Brexit, started pushing a narrative of hobbit pastoralism, and converted to Christianity with that fervour you only find in converts.

Can I interest you in a video titled “Mike Adams Joins Alex Jones to Discuss AI World Simulations, Digital Gods & the Data Center Takeover”? It has an AI-generated thumbnail, yet the title sounds anti-AI, and I’m not going to watch it to find out which way it goes. I’m just assuming it leans toward whatever direction will pay them the most, which is possibly also why we haven’t heard much protestation.

Some of them think it’s demonic but I guess there’s a conflict of interest since big tech is supporting the Republicans.

Trump likes AI and they like Trump too much to dislike something he likes.
