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??
I do!
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. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you.
