I was at a networking event recently and my just-be-normal mask slipped up. We, a group of strangers, were talking AI ethics and a person shows us a video of Chinese robots in a military training simulation on their phone. They declare “Chinese robots are going to come kill us all.” I thought the little 100cm dorks looked so funny and say as much. So when the person repeats themselves a second time I go “call me Charlie Kirk the way I’m down to die from gun violence.” To which I got a glare that I still remember.
I go on to mock AI “You’re not just dead — you’re a martyr. And honestly? That makes you memorable.”
