    Orwell was mostly right:

    “If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.”

    He only missed that it would be a robotic foot not a boot.

      In “I, Robot” the mega-computers dedicated to optimizing humanity are pivotal in removing said boot, precisely because it generates a ton of waste that benefits only a handful of people.

      I like to think that, no matter how hard dipshits like Elon try, their AI Revolution will ultimately bend us in that direction. In the end, it’ll be the billionaire and trillionaire class who declare war on the machines they financed the creation of.
