“Swords, Guns and AI Technology will take us far, far and farther, until it dumps us back where we came from, in the caves, but of concrete ruins. We will once again fight with spears and axes, made of broken bits of chips and circuit boards. Silicon, lithium, gold, all will be worthless, apes will barter again with sheep and boars. Yesterday's world was obsessed with swords, today's world is obsessed with guns, tomorrow's world will be obsessed with AI, and it always ends up with death and destruction. Day after tomorrow it'll be business as usual, savage world will be back obsessing with fire, then again with swords, then guns, and so on, till the sky pours ashes and seas boil over.” — Abhijit Naskar
Swords, Guns and AI
Technology will take us far, far
and farther, until it dumps us
back where we came from, in the
caves, but of concrete ruins.
We will once again fight with
spears and axes, made of broken
bits of chips and circuit boards.
Silicon, lithium, gold, all will
be worthless, apes will barter
again with sheep and boars.
Yesterday's world was obsessed with swords,
today's world is obsessed with guns,
tomorrow's world will be obsessed with AI,
and it always ends up with death and destruction.
Day after tomorrow it'll be business as usual,
savage world will be back obsessing with fire,
then again with swords, then guns, and so on,
till the sky pours ashes and seas boil over.
