Mine’s a tie between a near future and a not so near future sci-fantasy bazinga take:
“Self-driving cars are the key to a post-scarcity future!” (when asked how the fuck that conclusion was drawn, I was told “do the research.”)
“Even if climate change is proven to actually be a problem, climate doesn’t matter in space. We can have fully sustainable cattle farms in orbit producing as much meat as we need. Elon Musk.” (yes, that bazinga fuck actually said “Elon Musk” at the end of that claim like it somehow stamped a seal upon the rest of the take)
Also:
“AI is the greatest advancement for democracy.”
Heard in the wild from a tech guy a few years ago after Elmo had bought some AI language translation firm and announced it makes “information accessible for all”. He was hyped, hyped for it.
A few months ago he told me that AI will destroy the world and spesifically his job.
Haven’t asked him how he thinks all this is going recently because can’t handle the takes anymore.
