That’s not the way it works. Do you think the Roman Empire just picked a particular Tuesday to collapse? It’s a process and will take a while.

Too late. The systems we are building as a species will soon become sentient. We’ll have aliens right here, no UFOs required. Where the music comes from will no longer be relevant.

I remember that X-Files episode!

With head, corpse, body, etc “The system detected potentially unsafe content. Please try again or adjust the prompt.”

So adjust I did: with skull

Well fine, guess I’ll have to make my obese fart videos the old fashioned way. Anyone seen my kimchi?

I love kimchi, some of my best cubicle-clearing work starts with kimchi.

Have you seen the insane complexity of modern CPUs? Ain’t no one hand coding that like a 6502 in 1985.

Like the show Max Headroom

My computer’s from Goodwill, tariff THAT mofo

Um, OK.

Oh OK, the only logical counterpoint is we’re going to space.

Wheeee!!! Dibs on Neptune!

Never. Some people think the universe owes us Star Trek and are just waiting for something new to happen.

Uh, it’s called “reality” my friend, try it.

You can’t “invent” your way out of fundamental physical limits.

A Boeing 747 looks the same in 1969 as it does today. It still flies over the Atlantic in six hours burning kerosene in turbofan engines.

Sure, you can get a few percent here, a few percent there, but do you think suddenly we’ll have warp drive?

Come on. Do you know how empty and huge space is?

Far too late as well. It will never happen.

meh, I have another one.

Spackled the ceiling.

Do you think physics and chemistry have changed in some significant way over the last thousand years?

Yet somehow, YOU can see reality in a thousand years, and it matches the sci-fi mindrot you watched as a kid…

If you don’t see how that’s a completely dumb comparison, this is hopeless. I’m reality-based, you are not.

Joke’s on them, I’m an AI as well.

Are you a Space Nutter?

It’s not going to happen. No one is going to move to space or send nukes down or mine asteroids.

Ever.
