Over time, technological products and components have been getting smaller and smaller, the iPhone 16 for example contains 16 billion transistors, drones have also been shrinking and will keep shrinking down to the microscopic scale, to a scale so small they are invisible to the naked eye and are able to enter the pores of our skin, these are called Nanobots. The media tells us these bots will be used for healthcare purposes, that they will be used to fight off diseases, maybe even stifle aging, but couldn't they also be used to take control of the brain and muscles of the host?, and be piloted around by the administrator? We already know about the Ophiocordyceps unilateralis and its ability possess other organisms that consume it, nanobots will be engineered with the same ability, whilst also being airborne drones. Once this is achieved we would have no way to object to this, ask yourself can you protest against the common cold? Not against vaccines or quarantines I mean literally protest against the Cold virus: you cannot see it (they're 30 nanometers in diameter), you cannot reason with it (they doesn't talk), you cannot avoid it (they travels through the air and statistically speaking; 100% of people will catch a cold in their lifetime), Nanobots will be as communicable as the cold and as nefarious as the Cordyceps.
The rise of 3D printers has given the public access to machines that can manufacture 3 dimensional structures, structures like firearms, explosives; bio-printers soon to be capable of printing diseases. The populace are now able to bear arms without licenses and other weapons that are entirely illegal.
AI has almost perfected the ability to simulate a human being, fake audio and video of someone can now be generated via a plethora of websites, this is blatant identity theft. There have been cases of prompters: impersonating others to access bank account details, creating pornographic deep fakes, generating CP. Legal evidence can now be dismissed as AI generated. To the person reading this, Your own identity is at risk of theft.
In the workforce, people: demand wages, demand time off, make mistakes, are often one-trick-ponies only knowledgeable in a specific field. AI does not suffer from these constraints, AI: demands only energy to continue working (maintenance and supervision will downsize as AI improves), can work uninterrupted 24/7, will eventually make no mistakes at all, is multifaceted and can multitask. The consequence of this imbalance is that employers will favor automation over people and will begin mass workforce replacement. This has already happened with primitive robots in factory positions, so much so that production occurs in total darkness. AI is destined to replace everything, every job, every skill, every talent, every hobby, there will be nothing left, to the person reading this right now, you will be fired in the near future and replaced by technology, or if you are still in school you will never find work because of technology.
As time progresses AI will become more sophisticated, it will be able to execute a broad range of tasks: carrying out cyber attacks, hacking into accounts, manufacturing robots (possibly nano bots) to do physical damage. Technology is capable of doing ANYTHING so long as scientific laws are not broken, imagine the most abhorrent atrocity imaginable an AI could do it within 10 years. Warfare will no doubt accelerate the development of harmful technology, it was ww2 that gave us the atom bomb, think of what future conflicts will give us.
There are other fields of technology that are just as concerning, the point of this post is to demonstrate that there is a limit to how close our species can fly to the sun before we fall to extinction (or worse), We must enact regulations on silicon valley, certain fields (nanobots, 3d printers, AI) should be banned altogether. I am calling for a global revolution against technology for the safety and autonomy of the human race, we only have 5 or so years left until its too late, spread the word, protest or perish.
