Today @ 4:20 p.m. / Press the Button: The Poll With Passion

PRESS THE BUTTON! Are You Pro-AI, or Are You Anti-AI?

Today marks the glorious return of Press The Button: The Poll With Passion.™

Regular readers will remember how LoCO pioneered this groundbreaking polling technology several years ago, but then abandoned it because its massive popularity put too much strain on the ol’ server. All that has passed. The state of the server is strong.

So we pick up right where we left off as if nothing happened, and we put to you one of the biggest societal questions we as humans must tackle over the coming years. Are you more pro-AI or anti-AI? Below, in brief, are the cases. You must pick one side or the other.

PRO-AI: The elimination of much drudgework, great leaps forward in productivity, new scientific breakthroughs, the expansion of human knowledge, fun new art.

ANTI-AI: Shocking environmental costs, job loss, the elimination of human agency, the concentration of power under monopoly capitalism,  the whole kill-us-all thing.

Now it’s time to Press the Button!© Pick a side and get to pressing! Press as often and as quickly as you like! Remember: Quicker clicker wins! At the end of this exercise one side or the other will be declared the champion, and we will all be legally bound by the results. 

Give me more AI!
