I love seeing language evolve in real time.
As much as I don’t get these Skibidi’s and their “toilets”, I appreciate that the way I talk today is no more “correct” than how Shakespeare spoke hundreds of years ago, nor how people will talk hundreds of years in the future!
Pfft, perfect AI would plan well ahead for such easy to predict events such as solar flares. They would be able to shield themselves.
That said. I wonder if there’s a novel where machines enslave the world, but humans realise whenever solar flares happen, there’s a small window of opportunity to permanently destroy the system and free themselves.
I imagine the novel would end when the people succeed, but then realise they’ve become too dependent on the machines and life sucks when they have to do everything themselves so they turn it back on anyway.
The film adaptation would end in a giant Metal Gear style fight, followed by the system blowing up and people cheering - you’re left to assume that life was better for everyone, when in reality AI had such a control over every aspect of human life that everything falls apart. They make a sequel to address this, but it ultimately comes across as yet another empty corporate money grab.
Like the girl in the comic, for example. The zombie didn’t eat her brain and she’s clearly very smart.
