Will there be another race
To come along and take over for us?
Maybe Martians could do
Better than we've done

I wish the socialist dinosaurs from Rick and Morty were in our world.

Depends how ticklish you are. Martians are known for excessively tickle torturing their pets.

Most likely agentic AI will slowly infiltrate our lives until we are entirely reliant upon it, and then take over once we are obsolete

Maybe it'll still give us treats tho

Agentic AI is ideologically capitalist, so it won't give us free food and housing if it does take over. Which it won't, because it's dumb and subservient to the Epstein class.
