AI ‘SUPER INTELLIGENCE’ CAN KILL US ALL BY THE END OF THE DECADE….

So ‘we’ have been warned…..

AI, if not controlled, WILL END US ALL by the end of the decade…. (Apparently….)

It’s splashed all over the BBC, CNN & other News platforms – YOUTUBE and all SOCIAL MEDIAS….

It’s September 2026…. could we really only have 3 years and 3 months left to live?

Really?!? Are you being serious?!?

I’m 44 years old – my birthday is in December. I have 2 kids. I’m divorced – I have a 5 year, long-distance relationship … I own my own company…. I scroll and rot my brain with total drivel on a daily basis, whilst bending my neck for hours and hours to ensure I will look like the hunchback of Notre Dame one day….well I thought I might hurt my neck one day

But hey maybe I don’t have to worry about at least that! – I may not ever be old now!…..I may be killed by ‘super intelligence’ AI by the end of the decade….

Do I really only have 3 years left to live according to these people….

Really?!?

Big news…. Big lies? Big fear tactics – or big warning?

It’s impossible to know …… what can the little people really know……

3.5 years left…… human life could be made extinct by the end of the decade if AI is not controlled and super intelligence is not somehow managed…..we keep being told….. how can ‘we’ help – what can I do?? What possible move can I make to ensure my survival…..

Ffs

So could this mean that…

I…..I….!!!!!!!! See the end of human life?? –

Will I die at the same time as my children, wondering why the ‘F’ I entered them into this utter circus that I had no control over my own survival or my children that I brought into the works…… I get the see the end of human existence…..

REALLY?!

ME?!

Surly I can’t be ‘THE’ generation that was unlucky enough to be alive when ‘we’ destroyed the human race. Me? With my 2 children… my divorce… my memories of an abusive relationship with a blatant dark triad type… my long distance relationship now… my career… my boring life scrolling on mind numbing cat videos on social ‘crappy’ media ….

REALLY?!

Donald Trump is relaxed…… hmmmm…..

He’s wearing his USA cap saying who gets AI ‘wins’ – hmmmmmmm

Are we all to lose though Donald – so none of us sees nothing ….. (or maybe the double negative means we will see everything)

(Yes I’m as confused as my own sentence…..I like it though – I feel better for writing it – so I will…. I’m bored enough to write it and you’re bored enough to read it!)

I sat in bed last night and thought, like I have many times – “is this all there is?”

….:But this time – having 3.5 years left to live – the question hit slightly different…..

This time i questioned, and possibly answered, better than I ever have before….

3.5 years left to live…..

I’ll answer with more effort this time I thought…. Might as well after-all…..

Instead of my usual scrolling and finding some utter crap to fall asleep to and find my phone fallen between the bed and the floor in the morning- I lay in silence for once…..

I lay without social media for once – thinking

Social media has stolen many many hours of my life …. Why did I allow that when it’s so crap.

If I have 3.5 years left is scrolling really what I want to include in any of the rest of my life….

My ‘real business’ is spoken about on YouTube and TikTok (by myself) I make – on top – of my ACTUAL career through social media payments, around £100-150 a month…. (if I’m lucky!) posting every single day…….

Is it worth my time now….. with 3.5 years left…..who am I talking to and why?

It begs the question: who have I been posting for, REALLY???…. Them?….. My business?….. Me???? ‘Me’ to relieve my ultimate boredom with life……….?

SURELY THERES ANOTHER WAY…….

THERES ANOTHER WAY SURELY…….?!?!

What do other people do?

What do older people do who don’t use social media?????

How do they fill their days??

I deleted the Social Media icons last night – ‘remove app’ – yep! DETERMINED PRESS!

Gone – not destroyed – not extinct, like the humans may be in 3.5 years – but GONE off my phone….

Now what….

Surly there’s another way…. there must be….

What do I do now…. What do other people do….

It’s just like any other addiction to crush and destroy…..

I stopped smoking – tick

I stopped drinking – tick

I got out of a VERY toxic relationship – tick

I can do this…..!!! “Social media addiction move aside…..”

But what else is there to do…. I feel a void

What else is there in this seemingly huge cavern of black space…..

I sit here on my new word-press not knowing how or what this is really.

And maybe you’re ready it…. Thinks what the fuck am I reading …..

But I need to apparently write this down…….i seem compelled to …..

YouTube deleted, TikTok deleted, Facebook deleted…. I sit in a room that I should probably put the lights on now – it’s a bit dark….

Hmmmm how long has it been dark for? – how long have I been writing ….?

3.5 years and counting…..I wasted time tonight – my children are upstairs – maybe I should go and sit with them….. do I feel guilty with only 3.5 years left and they are upstairs and I’m writing to ‘you’

3.5 years……

No social media…..

Crushing an addiction – that’s all it is – easy right…..?

Finding a new source of dopamine….. easy peasy…… right?

Surly there’s another way…?

There’s another way surly…..?

Grrrrrrr I feel I’ve been farmed into social media all of a sudden. I suddenly ‘see’ I’ve been herded …. Channelled …. Lead down an already trodden path where everyone else is …. ‘The norm’ – adverts and money and wasting of a human to a mini screen …. Grrrrrr

I suddenly feel annoyed…..

Yes I’ve known I’ve been addicted for a while…. But I guess I thought “why not be” there’s nothing else…

Was that a lie? Am I lazy…. am I weak and persuadable…. That annoys me too…,, grrrrr

Is there another way of life?

Is this just an addiction like any other….

Well – I’ve got 3.5 years left…. (Potentially)…..

Do I want social media in my last 3.5 years……

NOPE!!

Better get upstairs and see my kids……

I suddenly see how utterly crap social media is…. – how annoying the surface level rubbish is….. what a waste of precious time it is……

So what else is there? word-press….

What else is on offer from life…..

What else can a human be or have ….

I have my career. I earn enough – I don’t ‘have’ to have my £100-£150 light sprinkle of cash from social media at the daily cost of posting and fighting or deleting comments that make me roll my eyes far back into my own head……

‘You can’t fix stupid’ a friend says …..

What else can humans do for a dopamine hit – ………for a reason to live.

3.5 years….

Have I done enough? – did I see enough? – am I with the right people? – am I am good person?

If I do die in 3.5 years did I ‘do life’ enough?

Well – day 1 is almost complete without social media …. Yep – I’m bored…

I’ll tell you that ALL my washing is done – my children ate well tonight – one of them went out on his brand new bike I bought him – that is something I’m proud I did so randomly on an Monday morning in the holidays …..bought him a bike. God he was grateful. What a lovely boy he is….

My mind has had more time to reflect again on their pet hamster dying last week…. That seemed to hurt me more than them. So many tears for that little fluff ball…. Damn it!

Why did I have kids….. hmmmm – was it for them or for me… was it the ‘norm’ – was it programmed into me to feed the elderly with the taxes they will pay…, did I have kids cos I altruistically wanted 2 more humans to enjoy the beautiful planet….. hmmmm…. maybe that’s a question for another blog post.

I suppose it will have to be…..

I have nothing else to do with my spare time….

Work tomorrow, school runs, house to tidy, elderly father to look after, boyfriend to say hi to….

Perhaps I can exercise…,, perhaps I can clear out my house yet again before I move…..

Social media has gone …,

I feel ‘Time’

I feel ‘space’ in a way……

There’s ‘anotherwaysurly’

3.5 years and ticking …… (perhaps…….)
