I think first we were infiltrated by Andy, another impossible post count. I think Andy's AI's handlers saw that the human members were getting suspicious so they phased him out with some sort of silly human-ish story and ramped up special-K

Very interesting ....
Funny, but when I read this yesterday I couldn't figure out where this post was coming from. Then it hit me, I think you read me 180 degrees off. I am not at all excited about where technology in this area is going. What gives shall take in return. I see a bunch of idiots allowing AI to take over out of shear desire for convenience and stepping even further into the declining lazy society that once was great standing on their own two feet. Mechanical things are cool enough technology for me. You're reading a post by a guy who would rather drive a manual transmission than automatic and has no problem rolling a window up or maintaining a constant speed on the hiway w/o cruise-control. All this AI is taking a step in the wrong direction and will only serve to create a society w/o practical skills. That ain't me

To say humans are impeding the function of a device is just sickening to even read for me. Call me backwards, but it's actually clear foresight. You'll see. Society needs no more dumbing down. "R" is cool but "D" should be questioned and studied with great consideration. And those who are doing the research should not be the ones who decide to develop... obviously for their gain as their objective.

I've got the desire to homestead and take full responsibility for my own well being into my blood and crap like this brings it out.
