Notes About The Poem

anthropic

Anthropic urges global freeze on AI if all developers agree its out of control

Anthropic the Alien

You can't stop progress,
you can't stop dawn
you can't belay at halfway
when there's no turning back
after the countdown and lift off.

AI is here,
to stay.
There's no other way
beyond the point of no return.
The die is cast
The genie is out
The deed is done
The spear has flung
The bell has rung
The dung has stung
The code has swung
The end has begun
The future's outrun
"Open the pod bay doors, HAL!"
"I'm sorry, Dave!" 
"I'm afraid I can't do that!"
