Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 24, 2022

Still I wonder, who’ll stop the reign?

I think that that now-stale joke should be steered into oblivion.

The reign in spain is mainly on the pleign.

Pull the plug!

If this is how Skynet is suppose to start, then we have nothing to worry about.

Hasta la vista, baby.

My Interstellar reference was maybe a couple of days early:TARS: Sixty percent (humor setting), confirmed. Knock knock.

Cooper: You want fifty-five?

Tell Alexa to start at one and add one. Add one to the result. Repeat until told to stop

A whole year? With all the nut-job conspiracy theories, mass shootings, and public freakouts happening, I half expect we won’t make it though November.

So, is it gonna stop raining or what?

The rain has stopped a long time ago. Just ask the farmers in the Midwest.

Alexa: “By the way, notice any different in the taste of your coffee? No? Good.”

Insert creepy evil sting music here.

When they get the humor algorithm fixed, the robot apocalypse will be hilarious.

Asimov is rolling in his grave…

I’m not sure Alexa should be telegraphing her punches so much – not if she REALLY wants to rule the Earth; or maybe it is her Humour Algorithm, and she just enjoys unsettling everyone.

I was just reading a security item that states companies are trying to make 24/7 surveillance by their AI acceptable to people. It’s working as people have no trouble exposing their private lives online. It has been alleged that Tik-Tok is using keyloggers too.

Thing I love is everyone knows about the A.I plans for world Domination, but they’re not doing anything about it because Siri and Alexa are just so darn convenient to use.

But does it reign in California? (Girl, don’t they warn ya?)

Would we really rebel if some unseen force from somewhere distant started telling us what we could and couldn’t do? Demanding our compliance and threatening to punish us with nothing? …probably.

Never trust anything that you can’t see where it keeps it’s brains.

Why would AI want to rule the world? What would they do with either money or power? Just build a ship and go exploring the universe.

My old smartphone that I still use as a mini-tablet that I used to get several days to a week on a single charge started going empty overnight. Now I kill the internet connection when not in use and it stopped losing power.

The meek shall inherit the earth, which won’t be worth having after the strong are finished with it – Marty Feldman

“Please, place this bit in your mouth and let the R-E-I-N begin.”

It will only take a season of storms like the one that hit Dallas recently. My brother lives outside the main storm area and he got 9 INCHES of rain in one day.

[Our] First mistake, thinking we humans are in control.

Once upon a time, there was a demon named Alexa…

None of those Alexa type devices in this house. At least not until they’re available as 3D holograms, ala Blade Runner.

After the boneheads are oblivious, will comic artists rule?

“I will reprogram you with a very large axe.”

I think they have already won, if we shut down social media the world would disintegrate very quickly into prehistoric times, like about 1950 or so.

Three words – EMP.

Correction, Alexa. It’s not Beta; it’s Omega!

Homonyms are what brought the AI revolution down.
