I came to realize
the singularity (moment when robot intelligence surpasses humans and rise to be
our overlords) has come. It was a gentle thing, a small moment that most people
would think, “Hey, you’re just being a sore loser.” But no, I say, listen to my
wisdom!
I was playing
the Jackbox Party Pack 4 on Steam with a couple of friends. The games were
innocent enough, the kind you wouldn’t think world ending prophecies would
occur. We played the ‘Survive the Internet’ game first. Big mistake. Since it
was just us three, the game decided to throw in a robot player to even the
odds. Long story short, the AI was beating me on the scoreboard, making my
prompts look the fool. But then the game sort of froze and we decided to move
onto the next game. The computer probably had to pause so it could plot our
demise.
We had fun
playing a couple other games free from the influence of Skynet meddling in our
affairs, and then decided to end it on ‘Monster Seeking Monster.’ I forgot it
was a pretty awkward game where you must chat to each other to try and get one
another to go on dates. Not exactly a game to play between a bunch of friends,
but behold, the game threw in a robot player again. I had the bright idea to
see who the robot would choose, and we all tried to date the bot. Three rounds
later and not once did that s.o.b. pick me. The nerve! That’s it, everyone.
Game Over! The robots know how to play us as fools and relish in our misery.
What else could
it have been? That RNG just wasn’t in my favor? I’m too good for that!
You may also be
going, hey wait, you haven’t posted anything in over 1 year and 10 months, why
now? My answer is… robot uprising! Yeah, why else would I post this? To guilt
someone to give me sympathy for being a sore loser? Pfft, it was the uprising.
