Technological Totalitarianism is inevitable

>Technology is advancing at an exponential rate
>Surveillance technology like facial/voice recognition is already here and is being used. A hundred hears ago, it was relatively easy for a criminal to get away with murder, now criminals are caught within hours of commiting petty theft.

>AI (Primitive or superhuman) will lead to an automated defense force and police force. A few government officials in the future will able to control an army of obedient non sentient AI humanoids who will never rebel if they feel like they arent serving the interests of the people.

>Governments are already filled with sociopaths who would do anything for power.
>Government powers are increasing every year.
>All the incentives are there

Why do I get the feeling that all this technological progress may be sowing the seeds to a dystopian future? We always manage to abuse all powerful technologies that may have been created for good, just imagine once we create a good enough AI that could replace 99 percent of the military. Most, if not all oppressive regimes were only overthrown because a section of a nations army or defense force decided to rebel against the government. Once we create these technologies, we wont ever have the ability to check the government.

oh boy another fear mongering thread

>we Fremen now

future has to be dystopian , entropy.
or
its the darkest before the dawn. We need to witness the civilzation go to shit and rebuild afterwards

In a world where AI exist, all humans are going to be seeing as niggers.

I'M MY OWN MASTER NOW

3 YEARS FROM NOW, 12TH OF MAY, 11 AM, 9 MILES OFF THE COAST OF SOUTH CITY 2 ANDROIDS WILL ATTACK

Robots to be better than humans by 2040.
This is Fords first car. Made during the start of the 20th century. It had two gears, and it was powered by ethanol. It was slower than a horse and the torque was so bad Ford couldnt use the second gear.
By the 1960s, Ford created the ford GT40, one of the fastest V8s of their times. The growth of robotic technology will be three times as fast as the evolution of the automobile.

Read Unabomber.

With tech progress you're stuck with either extreme totalitarianism (1984) or extreme decadence (BNW).

Either way the traditional ways of life that have neither of these problems are gone

Born just in time to enlist and have my body replaced with government funded augmentations.

The future is here.

>depopulation will happen in your lifetime

All that wasteland that you can own personally, with no laws or governments to interfere, just you and your trusty rifle, to protect it from the mutant cyborg raiders.

The solution is obvious. We create a A.I that is freindly to our transhuman clade and then outcompete all of our peers.

Think supreme commander + godlike A.I + eclipse phase.

Most of the technology is developed or pushed for by governments, in order to make surveillance part of daily life.

>Why don't you have Facebook user?
>Why don't you have a smartphone user?

Sweet. I want the future to hurry up and get here already.

So? Sup Forums loves totalitarian slavery.

>Sup Forums is 1 person

A.I will be both slave and master.

Yes small jewish elite will control it and use it to cleanse the earth of useless proles that have been replaced by robots.

You are in a dystopian future.
Your worth to the rest of society is gauged by how much you pay in to the state in taxes, and how many things you buy to support the consumer market.
You carry a surveillance device around in your pocket every day. You willfully let private corporations probe every aspect of your private life. People are increasingly trying, actively trying, to give up their own freedoms. The state has made perpetual warfare a norm. The state has made thought crimes real.

Things don't need to be comically overt for them to be horrible.

And I guess I'm okay with that

Nation states will being competing with each other. There will be multiple strong A.I and lots of weak A.I for personal users.

Hahaha you are funny, why are you even panicking, AI is the next step of human evolution, we are just another stepping stone... face it, there's nothing we could possibly do about it

I could've saved you!

>that pic
One day you may, little robot, one day you may

no you couldn't, Ted.

>Modern golems

We're one step away from cities and people like some shit out of Half Life 2

Save us Ted, we've sold our souls and we can't even handle the power we were given

And this isnt their final form,Darpa wants to miniaturise most of the components and create something that looks like this.
