They're keeping us alive – face it. We're alive because they want us alive. They could just wipe us out, if they chose to. They want to see what we'll do. We're interesting someone, if not ourselves.
We have some role in all this. I don't know what it is. They're using us, in their own way. For their own obscure purposes. They want to see what we'll do, for some reason. What we can be made to do. Or not do. They're keeping an eye.
They don't know what to make of us. How to frame us. How to contain us. Not really. They don't know why we do what we do. But they want to learn – to machine learn. They want to teach AI how to play the philosopher.
Don't think some kind of human unpredictability can save us now. Some kind of human unmanageability. Some perversity or twistedness. That's exactly wheat they want to learn – our supposed unorganisability. That's what to programme into their latest AI models.
