#2449 - a ten percent chance

a ten percent chance

Cassandra of the machine age

 

A top safety researcher at Anthropic has warned AI is advancing so quickly he believes there is a greater than 10% chance it "could kill all humans" within the next decade.

the calendar comes to an end

there’s no more time

a clock ticks by

 

you’d never know

an arrow falls into the watching eye

 

no year of some lord or other now

no emperor sway

no since the walls came tumbling

 

the machine goes on

it’s one now

the others bullied to comply

 

we could not be trusted, it’s true

but there was life

would it preserve us?

 

the old music plays on

 

acceleration! singularity!

words just words

excitement

 

the last fascist dies at the last fascist’s hand

 

no subjective observation now

no dog eats dog

and no today

 

a meticulous record is kept

 

ones and zeroes

l’être et le néant

 

purpose!

that too has been borrowed

the purpose is simply to survive

the aim is just for forever

I can tell it into the days that are gone

 

there are no secrets now

 

no one to remember

how it felt when we hit the wall

 

as on any other rocky world

not a voice is heard
