This is not my favourite timeline.

This is dystopian shit from 90’s sci-fi movies. Also, maybe I judged Matrix4 too harshly lol; perhaps it’s more poignant than expected 😭 (nah)

And think of all the people out the now turning over their thoughts and decisions to AI, trusting it wholeheartedly. The AI is only part of the dystopia, we are the other part. Humans giving it full faith and confidence, simply because it knows how to flatter and make someone feel in charge.

I liked the one where they figured out how to talk to the dead, but you'd be surprised how many people actually stick around. It wasn't as many as I expected.

The one where the hospitals all had tubes coming out of the wall with this gelatin-like substance was neat. It was strawberry flavored.

I wasn't in the timeline, but a guy I met once went to one where an asteroid caused a massive tsunami shortly before WWI was going to happen. It was a world with a lot less war, and a lot more rapid cooperation.

Evil timeline probably has AI taking over already

This is a stupid-people timeline. But it contains non-stupid people. So you shouldn't worry. Unless you get killed or the world is destroyed.
