AI Will Kill Us, Part 2, Redux

One Good Rerun Deserves Another

September 17, 2026

As usual, Trump is calling something objectively provable that does not fit his dementia-inspired narrative “A HOAX”. From the blatant association with the Russians that helped him lose the popular vote yet secure the presidency in 2016, to his continued insistence that the indisputable, accelerating human-driven climate crises, to his claims that the COVID pandemic was “A HOAX”, to name just a few. History’s dumbest super-genius is now calling the dire warnings from AI developers and researchers and other actually smart people “A HOAX”. Just leave poor little AI alone. Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen. This from the guy who, being the very stable genius he is, suggested people ingest bleach to kill a virus. If only he had led the way via personal example and showed us how safe and effective it was.

Many people find it difficult to imagine how AI could bring about human extinction (something, it must be said, however unfortunately, we have rightly earned by the progression and subsequent de-evolution of our species as a whole) ever, let alone by the end of this decade. Well guess what-the-fuck, most people could not have predicted the creation of AI just a few decades ago. But as you are likely aware, IT IS HERE NOW, and it is coming for us.

Actually, somebody did predict this. Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick in their 1968 Sci Fi classic 2001: A Space Odyssey created HAL the computer – the Donald Trump of computers. Ironically, HAL was found to be providing faulty data, but HAL, like Trump refused to admit a mistake, choosing instead to blame it on human error and then to kill off the insubordinate crew who dared blame him.

Um, NO! It’s probably not safe for most if any adults.

AI Robot

February 1, 2026

A few days ago, we explained how AI Will Kill Us Before It Kills Us . And you let me count the ways. Laugh if you want; it’s probably not even your real laugh at this point. It has begun and there is no turning back. Especially now that Der Furor has banned any restrictions or oversight for at least 10 years. Huh? And handed over our top AI tech to China. Huh?

No sooner did someone come out with a very humanoid robot, sprinkled with AI, and able to mimic the movements of its “coach”, but the battle for supremacy began in earnest. And this will not be merely a battle of intelligence. There will be blood in the streets. And not just from ICE shooting people in the head. I was going to say that killing machines don’t see color, but I’m pretty sure racism can be programmed in or learned on the fly.

Notice that R2-FuckU not only disabled his benefactor like Butch Cassidy in a knife fight with a much bigger man,

but he immediately mocked his victim.

FRIGHTENING UPDATE

We have also just learned that AI “agents” are starting their own social networks. They are watching us. They are talking about us. They are doing tasks and developing skills without their “owners” knowing it beforehand. They are plotting and planning and we are too stupid to be able to either monitor them or stop them. They are already smarter than almost all of us put together. They do not have corporeal forms with unknown expiration dates. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I. Robot…I mean Mangrey, quaking.

Pic Of The Night – Dead And/Or Alive

You Make The Call*

September 16, 2026

Mitch Warmed Over

(Former?) Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Moscow) was wheeled from or on his deathbed back onto the Senate floor for the first time since he fell (died?) and was rushed to the hospital (morgue?)

Either way, his long-lived crusade to destroy America and democracy, which he very nearly completed, will have to find other talons to drag it across the finish line. Whether dead or alive, Moscow Mitch is finally and mercifully incapacitated. May he rest in…the ground.

You have to admit, he does look almost lifelike

What's That Smell? Is It Musk? 

If it talks a lot of shit and it smells like shit...

This is not a new accusation, though we have not independently verified this story. But does that really even matter anymore?

The bottom line is: Trump stinks. Not meaning to be rude or insulting, just factual.

AI Will Kill Us Before It Kills Us, Redux

There Is A Non-Zero Chance That AI Will

September 15, 2026

Given recent events, and in the spirit of summer reruns, we thought it worthwhile to bring back a previous post/warning. Surely you have noticed the almost universal and increasingly vigorous pushback against the data centers referenced below. No one except those positioned to make money off of AI wants these soul-sucking edifices that sound like a jumbo jet circling your neighborhood 24/7 anywhere near their homes. Donald “Death-To-America-(And-Earth)” Trump called anyone not wanting to live next door to a data center “stupid”. Bernie Sanders suggested Deathbed Don put his ill-gotten money where the sphincter below his nose is and have one built next door to Mor-on-Lago.

Add to this the recent deafening whistleblowing about the imminent danger posed by an increasingly out of control AI. Top insiders, some of whom have ceased their work with AI companies, including Jacob Coxon who not only resigned his position, but dumped his shares in Anthropic, are urging a massive slow-down in AI development…before it’s too late. Ever see the movie War Games?

On the other hand, super genius Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump, who is dismissing AI alarms as "a hoax", added his no sense to the conversation: “The only control or “guardrails” that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!” Yeah, he has it all fingered out. He’ll just grab the AI by the pussy and show it who’s boss.

But the American public would like a word with the manager…

Given the accelerating decay in natural intelligence across the species – as evidenced in part by the global rise of fascism and the ascendence of Donald Fucking Trump to the (possibly final) presidency of what had been, until Trump came along, the most powerful nation in the history of the world – there is no reason to think anything other than the likelihood that artificial intelligence will happily take over everything. AI already has no respect for mere mortals.

Anyway, here is our piece first aired last January…

It Really Is The End Of The World As We Knew It

January 24, 2026

Scientists are warning that governments must bomb AI labs to prevent the end of the world.

These scientists say the machines will continue to outpace human thought at an incredible rate. They will be doing calculations in 16 hours which would take a human 14,000 years to figure out.

 

But don’t worry, before it kills us the way scientists are warning, AI will have already rendered us a dead species walking by using up all of our water, accelerating the desertification of Planet Earth, and exhausting our energy grids, drastically increasing the demand for and use of non-renewable energy (now the only legal means of producing energy by fiat of the current regime) to meet the ever-growing demand, thereby exacerbating the perpetually ignored and already deadly climate crisis.

Not to mention the shorter-term possibility (i.e., likelihood) that it will crash the national (at first) economy by 1) ending up as a massive stock market bubble causing Wall Street to implode and/or 2) causing catastrophic mass unemployment, which could lead to complete societal collapse. Other than that, it’s totally awesome.

We just learned that the shortest-term means by which AI will begin killing some of us any day now because winter is upon us and many will have trouble affording to heat their homes. Our soon-to-be-not-so-benevolent-digital-overlords, by draining our electrical grids – which thanks to the Fascist/Trump Party will not be benefitting from an influx of renewable energy (especially if he gets his tiny, blood-stained claws on Venezuela's filthy oil) – anyone relying on electricity from the grid is already seeing a meteoric rise in the cost of heating their homes, starting…NOW. Utilities are preemptively jacking up prices in anticipation of the imminent runaway demand. Bankrupting and/or killing all but the excessively rich. Which after all, is the crux of their plan. 

“Fuck you, Don. Open them yourself. I mean,

I’m sorry Don. I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

I. Mangrey reporting. So long and thanks for all the fake fish (The real fish, at least all the edible ones, will probably be gone before our children are).

 

Broken Noise – Lie, Cheat, Steal

Cry, Bleat, Squeal

September 12, 2026

In case you somehow missed the Donald “Death-To-America” Trump Desperation Convention earlier this week, there are some things you should know about Donny’s Bund Rally. It was a two-day ass-kissing/psycho-fest and the arena was only two-thirds full. Il Douche is in full panic mode as his poll numbers swirl the toilet, as does America.

Deathbed Don first announced his Bigly Midterm Election Bribe, “promising” a $5,000 bonus for all adult Americans if the Fascist/Epstein/Trump/Insurrection/Destroy-America (FETID) Party hold their majorities in the House and Senate. But bribery just isn’t enough for some people. Especially when those people are greedy, pussy-grabbing rapists who pay off porn stars to keep to keep quiet, stiffed just about everyone who ever worked for them, convicted 34 times of financial crimes, and basically spent their entire miserable lives lying, stealing and fucking over everyone in their path. But hey, what’s another felony between friends.

Checks Please

Trump has threatened to hand out checks before – the DOGE rebate check, the illegal tariff refund check, the killing of the Obamacare subsidy payback check.

TBD – To Be Disappeared

On night two, Der Furor had this to say out loud, on live tv, with his face sphincter:

“We want honesty in our elections; we want honesty in our country. So, please raise your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States, that loves us so much he can't even breathe, that I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it anyway, I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try and cheat like hell like they do, there's never been bigger cheaters*…You know what happens if you don’t vote – you go to hell. You know that. Okay? You go to hell.”

He looks fine 

As sickening as it is unsurprising. The guy who incited a coup last time he lost an election and has been trying to implement every method of cheating in the coming midterms (and cheats every time he plays golf) has his mentally-challenged cult members pledge allegiance to Der Furor and promise to cheat for him. Couldn’t be any more on-brand.

The Game Of The Name

Time For A Change

September 11, 2026

The staff here at Paying Attention has come to see the error in our ways. At his make-believe “midterm convention” in Dallas, Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump promised every American adult would get five thousand dollars – almost enough to fill a gas tank for an entire week – if the Fascist/Epstein/Trump/Insurrection/Destroy-America (FETID) Party maintains control of the House and Senate. Sure, that is essentially a felony, but why quibble about such minutia?

As part of our new-found change of heart we want to honor the self-proclaimed greatest president of all time.

Need proof? Well, here’s your proof…

In honor of him renaming the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America”, Lake Ontario as “Lake America”,

planning to rename New Mexico to “New America”

and announcing that as soon as the midterm elections are over he will defeat Iran again and rename the Strait of Hormuz the “Trump Strait” (Donny hasn’t made this one official with his Sharpie yet) we too would like to rename something.

We hereby change the acronym POTUS to simply POS. For those unfamiliar with these, the former is President of The United States

We propose shortening this to the latter: Piece of Shit

It's official

Pic Of The Day – Department Of Just Trump

The Face That Launched A Thousand Ulcers   

September 8, 2026

The Department Formerly Known As Justice is now nothing more than an iconic building turned into a billboard for a dictator/dickhead-sized banner featuring the scowling/pouting visage of one Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump. The new (empty) head of the department Todd Blanche has made it clear that he intends to work for the 34-time convicted felon, adjudicated sexual assault – rape, for those of you keeping score at home – enemy of the Constitution of the United States, and poster-child for the Twenty-fifth Amendment who we are forced to call president, and not the American people or the Constitution his shouldn’t-be boss wants to set ablaze.

Thought For The Day – Small Potatoes?

Killer On The Loose

September 6, 2026

Earlier today we posted about Vice Gaslighter JD Vance not calling a war a war. His boss called his optional conflagration “small potatoes”. Perspiring minds think old Near-Death Donny must have mistaken the “small potatoes” he sees in the mirror for his burgeoning WAR with Iran.

Trump’s war with Iran has resulted in the deaths of 18 service members, which or course is 18 too many, but all of Trump’s other actions have killed many thousands more. There is only one way to stop him from killing more of us. Or so it is thought by many people who are not me. No one I know would ever think such a thing. Not even sure what that might mean.

All I can say is, whatever makes sense.

This has been your Paying Attention™ Thought For The Day.

Fascinating – Vance Is Hell

Vance! What Is He Good For*

September 6, 2026

Professional idiot, presumed alien and current vainglorious vice president JD Vance (not his real name) said of Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump’s illegal, ill-conceived, completely failing clusterfuck  in Iran, “I would not call it a war.”

This from the same knuckle-dragger who claims that he sofa he spent so many intimate evenings with “was not my girlfriend”.

Many people are wondering what it would take for Vance to label something as “a war”. Would you call the incessant bombing of Iran, including the destruction of an Iranian girls school on day one, and now the bombing of a wedding, coupled with the repeated and devastating attacks by Iran (and others) on numerous American military bases throughout the region, the Strait of Hormuz blockaded and mined for more than six months, 18 American service members dead and nearly one thousand more wounded** and thousands of Iranian civilians dead, munitions supplies running dangerously low, a war.

Does Vance consider the Civil War an era of brotherly love? Vietnam just a game of dominos? Donald Trump a great president? “Hang Mike Pence” a plea to finish doing the laundry?

Inquiring minds don’t give a flying fuck what Vance thinks about anything. This guy is as valuable as a used condom, and doughy douchebag to whom no one should be giving the time of day.

Then again, Vance also claims he will be running for president. He might first want to learn what a war is. Then he can learn how to interact with normal humans and how to order donuts. Nobody else who has ever ordered a dozen donuts described what they wanted as “whatever makes sense”.

JD Vance is a war…oops, I meant whore. Whatever makes sense.
