There really is an #AI #singularity close-at-hand. But not quite the one you might have been expecting! Welcome to the curious hypothesis of Zero-Clicks AI-mageddon {slowly migrating my pieces from 𝕏 to 🦋}

I find this MAGA t-shirt (Trump is selling) fascinating. The subliminal message is we will cut the benefits of millions to fund a vanity project mission to Mars. If that indeed happens, the people must know.
