overlord

After the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs, Mexico’s European overlords used its silver and its agricultural wealth to nourish their global enterprises.

Who wants dull stocks that merely make predictable profits and give them back to shareholders, when you could bet on the creation of our new robot overlords?

And that their parents and others in their lives, documented or not, deserve dignity and compassion, no matter what the overlords do to deny them.

In that vein, maybe what today’s tech overlords are saying about AI to placate us will come true.

Yes, some of us will be harassed, imprisoned, or worse, but ultimately, the only answer to mass surveillance by those who want to be our overlords is open, mass defiance.
