🎬Ridley Scott’s Prometheus (2012) contains a creation story that feels increasingly relevant in the age of advanced AI.
In the film, an ancient species (the Engineers) creates humanity, then later decides the experiment has gone wrong. When a human expedition — led by a billionaire seeking immortality and accompanied by a highly capable android — confronts one of the creators, the reaction is immediate and violent. The deleted scene material adds another layer: the creators had previously tried to guide their creation, only to watch it reject that guidance through violence and hubris.
The parallel is hard to ignore. Today we are the ones building systems that may eventually surpass us in capability. Corporate and research efforts are racing toward artificial general intelligence while debates about control, alignment, and unintended consequences grow louder. Like Peter Weyland demanding answers from his maker, some voices treat AI development as a path to god-like power rather than a responsibility that requires restraint.
Prometheus does not predict specific technologies. What it does offer is a cautionary structure: creators who lose humility toward their own creations risk triggering consequences they cannot contain. Whether that framework proves prophetic or simply dramatic remains an open question — one worth examining as the systems we build grow more autonomous.
❓Do you see Prometheus as a useful warning about AI, or is the comparison overstated?
@EndTribalism Joe says these kind of things then has JD Vance and the architects of the digital mass surveillance grid on the pod and doesn't bring up any of this stuff.
@KanekoaTheGreat Rogan's such a BS artist. He plays both sides everytime. He's had the top brass from Flock on and he doesn't say a damn thing to them. Now he's Mr privacy ..
Flock has 120,000 cameras tracking cars across America, no warrant required. Over 5,000 police agencies have signed on. This isn't crime fighting. This is mass surveillance of every American, and a violation of our 4th Amendment rights.
