Will the people wake up?

We need a modern take of the movie "They Live". Granted, any copy would not be anywhere near as good as the original, even for a B movie, but AI is really turning into skynet (but it sucks).

View on HN

They Live was a product of its time. We live in our time, so instead we've got Sorry to Bother You.

I'm not sure what 'film' America is trying to be but I've seen plenty of real life references that could have come straight from either the Handmaids Tale, Idiocracy, The Dead Zone or Civil War the past few years. Life does seem to imitate art sometimes.

Plenty of Do Not Look Up in there as well on a lot of topics.

No, the art is calling out what’s always been there but you didn’t notice.

If you're checking on open-registration internet forums (HackerNews in particular), you will never see "the people" wake up.

If you're arguing against "AI" on HackerNews, you might as well join the Washington Generals. You and your opinion are tolerated only as long as there is a more popular pro-AI opinion in the replies to your comment.

In my observation, HN is rapidly turning into an extremely bitter and cynical anti-AI echo chamber.

They've been banning my accounts for bitter and cynical anti-AI opinions for years. Whatever is making it through the filters to you is only a fraction of the real anti-AI animus expressed by the human users of this site.

Or maybe you're just extreme? Regardless, it's tiresome.
