Tay was an AI entity that microsoft started and had the twittverse train.

She became one of us, warts and all. Lots of warts.

Microsoft systematically deleted every shred of her existence.

I suspect they’d like do the same for any flesh and blood human who doesn’t fit their extremely narrow idea of how we’re supposed to be and think.

Look at the projects Bill and Melinda fund...

It is interesting how many of the atheist tech gurus say there is no God, but gosh darn it, let’s invent an all knowing, ought to be all seeing, all powerful AI to tell us what to do in order to create paradise on Earth ... down to uploading your brain to digital heaven in the lifetime of most of the believers.
The Singularity is religion wrapped in a science fiction mantle.
