Asimov's Foundation & Empire and others showing possibilities of machines manipulating the human experience.
Recent movies, Terminator & Dune to be sure, show a possible future.
And then, there's Idiocracy. Our most likely destiny.

The downward slope of this civilization is too steep to go back.

HURRY! Better ride your motos while you still can!

Just yesterday Anthropic put out a scurry statement of the “catastrophic or existential risks to humanity”as the possibilities/probabilities of AI in it’s IPO statement. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq398p1wd1evo

Oh, Butch... Just checking. Netscape Navigator came out in 1994 and you said you were 14-15 years old at the time soooo you were born in 1979?

First Post updated. I kinda remember when the wifey introduced me to the internet… late 90’s and I was in my 30’s…
I was amazed. It was cool, and a cool memory. Kinda.

Asimov Introduced The Mule as a rogue (but necessary?) element in the progression of mankind.

I always felt it should be Ai.

Not Al.

Yeah, it is the idea that one day all our Financial accounts could be erased that worries me.

The guys I work with have a lot to worry about, but that's not one of 'em.

Unfortunately, the Idiocracy part is most likely going to be true!

Some of the science fiction writers were absolutely brilliant with their projections.
