Eye eye

2781

See what you're doing 

Not only a spy 

May not promote the wicked 

But may promote the lie 

 

Or at the very least turn a blind eye 

Offer some refreshment 

Give the kid a smile 

 

Alternate the current flowing through the veins 

 

Dumbed at the summit 

Destined to be slaves 

Not the kind of freedom 

Creation gave 

Humanity prancing 

Into a grave. 

 

DTDA

Data centres 

Had a thought 

Could this be a cosmic rort?

 

An age of enlightenment 

Who could refuse 

But who's enlightenment

Can we choose?

 

Could we be led 

From every quarter 

Fish for the bait 

Led to the slaughter. 

 

Sap the power 

Use the water

Sacrifice your son and daughter 

Yin and yang ever so subtle 

Swirling in a massive ocean with all it has been fed

And read, and spoken 

Building sentences 

AI games: like any good conman 

Be careful of their claims 

 

The problem is the temperature 

If it gets to hot 

They can get very creative 

These power hungry bots.

    The near future is going to be hell - and I haven't much of an idea how it will resolve itself - as it must... Perhaps I should ask Copilot??

      With no privacy, everything monitored, freedom no longer even a question, controlled in everything, everything artificial and disposable not a world I want to live in. Well written

        There's a political debate about data centres going on, down here.
        It seems a little ironic that those who spread the messages, would forget that Australia is a land of drought, and flooding rains.

          Sad but true they will win

          Good write 2. You know those Yin and Yang folks?! lol.

          This really got me thinking, my friend. There is a deep distrust running through it, not just of AI itself, but of the systems, resources, and motives surrounding it...and that makes the warning feel much broader than technology alone. Strong work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
