    Regular people are not alarmed. They still buy fireworks, go on road trips, and consume like they’ve been taught their entire lives. The select few that ARE alarmed can’t do anything with a system built from the ground up to reward indifference to the environment. You need to worry about your fellow man a lot more than you need to worry about hunger or fire if you are privileged enough to even be a part of this conversation. And that’s the whole problem. Humanity, as a species, is violent, duplicitous, and primarily motivated by self enrichment. The best thing we as a species could do for the cosmos is build the machines that will keep us occupied here instead of strip mining the stars. We can’t be trusted with not destroying the universe to make the ultimate fidget spinner.

      That’s cool. Enjoy starving to death since apparently you don’t care

        Starvation is time inefficient and not a robot overlord approved liquidation process.

          Crop failures will disagree

            Good thing the crops won’t be in charge. We should praise our benevolent future robot overlords.

              Ya it’s hard to be in charge when you’re dead

                That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange eons even standby may die. Thinking machines just need a little energy and boom, right back to life.

                    Better to be a gibberer than to be gibbed.
