I don't know about you guys, but I'm hyped about the future.

Cure all illnesses Utopia or Robot Wars Dystopia, both are pretty exciting.

Not sure about the dystopia... Had a similar thought when covid was beginning 'wow pretty exciting, just like in the movies'.

Turns out actually living some terrible catastrophe is only fun in the movies.

I had a lot of fun during Covid. I loved the working from home. The fact that most outdoor places were sparsely populated, jobs were plentiful and prices were low. Covid was awesome.

Yeah Covid was awesome, say that to the people who died from it, or who committed suicide because of the lockdown depression

Oh, pipe down, I’m talking about that 3 year period, not the disease. You can talk about things that happened during Covid without giving lip service to the people that died during it. If I mention SpaceX‘s first astronaut launch that happened during Covid, am I supposed to talk about the people that died during that period too?

Prompt: cure all cancers and make sure to pretty please not to kill all humans, make no mistakes

(This is the alignment problem of course)

Hey seems easy enough

So... what do you feel about eliminating (humans with) cancer?

I'm a human so I don't like that proposed solution

Right there with you. Fuck my job, I’m excited to see the future unfold as a homeless bum on the street. I’m not even being sarcastic.

More like latent societal anxiety, some chaos, and then instant grey goo.
