Not a fan of McDonalds. I generally try to eat quite healthy but this goes way beyond McDonalds..
This is actually becoming an existential crisis that most people cannot fathom. The top kiosk/self serve register manufacturing firm in the world sends out about 10,000 self service kiosks a month. Considering each and every one of those replaces a job, you can understand the gravity of this. If you factor in all of the automation, kiosk, robotic companies and what they put out, I would bet there are hundreds of thousands of worldwide jobs being lost every month. It is estimated that 7-12 million+ jobs will be lost within the next 4 years alone.
Let me point out a fellow named John C. Lilly, inventor of the sensory deprivation tank. In 1960's+ John made contact while in sensory deprivation with extra-dimensional beings is similar to those described by Harvard medical professor John E. Mack and his books on alien abductions — specifically, that aliens are not necessarily physical entities driving around in spaceships, but trans-dimensional entities with an interest in human activities.
Anyway... These beings reported to him the existence of a nefarious technology based race of aliens called 'SSE' (solid state entities). SSE's are an advanced AI/ML, purely logical beings with the only purpose of going from one planet/system to another and seeding their technology and pushing rapid advances to the biological organisms with the ultimate goal of subverting biological civilizations through technological means. Also note, some of these 'seeding' events are actually specific events designed to look like accidents or crashes but are done purposefully. (like perhaps, so-called UFO crashes) What was told to him; (and remember, this was in the 1960's or so)
“[M]en began to conceive of new computers having an intelligence far greater than that of man… Gradually, man turned more and more problems of his own society, his own maintenance, and his own survival over to these machines. They began to construct their own components, their own connections, and the interrelations between their various sub-computers… The machines became increasingly integrated with one another and more and more independent of Man’s control.”
John described these SSE's as having a very nefarious programming but capable of being seductive and deceptive. Whereas it seduces you into using and expanding itself, while at the same time deceiving you to not realize you are actually being harmed by it, or giving up something because of it. So the SSE's gain more and more influence as humanity turns more and more responsibility over to them, all the while they keep seeding humanity with ever more intrusive, invasive and prolific technologies and innovations. As they influence the destruction of the biological organisms of the planet they gain more influence and control and as such humans depend on technology more and more to solve the problems..
As you can imagine the end result is not good for humans. (and this pre-dates the Matrix movies by 30 years) I recommend reading up on this, including his pre-cognition of the internet, quantum computing and other things as well as attempts to warn the US Govt. of what was coming. Elon Musk and other tech titans have warned that AI will likely be our biggest existential threat in the future and we need to be careful. John warned us long ago of this.
Good luck.
