Did the dinosaurs build the asteroids that killed their kind?
With the impending doom of humankind, it is worth pondering that even the most violent, biggest, and oblivious kinds did not cause their own extinction; other factors outside their control did.
Although you can also argue that our kind is the most violent, immoral, and powerful. But in contrast to dinosaurs, we have brains designed to think rationally, to care for our kind, to take reasonable actions, to communicate, to express our love, and to innovate.
Despite these, we have chosen to be crueler than those extinct creatures. Despite being the most innovative species, why are we worse than those that are from prehistoric times?
Why are we harming our kind when we have the option not to? Why are we burning the layer that can protect us from the thing that killed the dinosaurs? Why are we building our own asteroid? Why are we building the very thing that will be the reason for our extinction?
And by WE, I mean greedy corporations that are blinded and motivated by papers that have faces of people who do not represent the type of world we are moving towards.

On the topic of AI, we thought the biggest problems with its operation are drought and climate change. But those are the least we should worry about. What we should worry about is our kind. How our kind may have only lasted for 300,000 years, while the dinosaurs that had no brains capable of thinking rationally, caring for their kind, making reasonable actions, communicating, expressing their love, and innovating, were able to survive for 165 to 180 million, and their extinction was not even their doing.
Innovation is great until it kills the people responsible for innovating. It is a double-edged sword.
How did we go from finding habitable planets that can extend human life to making an ARTIFICIAL LIFE that is predicted to end HUMAN LIVES?
Now, let me go back to my first question: Did the dinosaurs build the asteroids that killed their kind? The answer is no.
But let us apply that same question to our kind: Did we build artificial life that will someday kill our kind? The answer is yes. The answer is greed. The answer is green.
oo, ginamit ko ang dolyar dahil kahit ang administrasyon ngayon ng pilipinas ay tuta ng estados unidos.
