I loved reading chapter 27- the historical social issues that are only slightly modified for the benefit of the book, hit too close to the current way of life with the AI’s advent.
Luddites and their rebellion against mechanical looms. And if you damage a mechanical loom, the penalty is death. How cruel can this get. This is so similar how with the advent of AI, plenty of people lost their jobs. Because now a smaller bunch can do the same job and as effective or even more than before. Each of us have an assistant in Claude or ChatGPT and all of us are asked to either adapt and increase the productivity, or you lose your jobs. Your performance is shit.
While I can’t believe that history is repeating itself, you are placed between a rock and a hard place.
I love this line, “Strikers in this country never won broad public support, for the public merely wanted all the conveniences of modern life without the guilt of knowing how those conveniences were procured”
How is our consciousness not bursting out in flames?! How is it easy for us to switch from one happy thing to a disastrous thing on Instagram so quickly?! How are we so easily disassociating ourselves from reality?! Just because it’s not happening to us or around, how is it so easy to turn the other way and feel good. Is this survival? Is our ultimate goal to keep us happy, causing a global conflicted consciousness? How do we become better at handling these situations? Is it only going to get worse?
I love Robin’s arc of becoming this rebel who’s choosing violence because he really fully now sees the vision of what it can accomplish. It’s so unnerving yet beautiful to see that there’s no anxiety, no fear, just pure rage and conviction to move forward and make this mission yield faster better results.
While Victoire seems to be the poised, composed person who doesn’t want to choose violence, only enough to make them heard and create an impact. Robin is out there, fully developed into another Griffin, who now only see impact through violence. Both sides of the coin of reasoning ring true.
