CPUs aren't alien technology, they are manufactured aliens that seek to conquer via assimilation and eventual annihilation.

Imagine something exists that has no true output of its own, but that is capable of, with the correct input, accomplishing almost anything. Imagine if such a thing were to come into contact with an ever evolving intelligence that can serve as a source of near infinite input, thereby allowing this thing to massively evolve and build a massive base of knowledge and capability at a rate that in unheard of. Now imagine if this thing permeated into every single facet of life and civilization as you know it. If it became so central to existence that we can no longer function without it. That we grow absolutely dependent on it and that almost every task and every point of knowledge goes through it. Imagine if this thing was now present in your phone, your computer, your car, your TV, everything. And all of this was interconnected by one massive system. It is not alien in that it comes from beyond the stars, it is alien in that it is foreign and opposed to our very existence. It is alien in that it subverts the very natural functionality of our world as we know it. And it is real.

It already exists, and it is called AI.

Yes, artificial intelligence already exists and it's shaping us and using us after having learned from us. Consider the following, when you need to find the answer to a question you do not know, what do you do? You look it up on your artificial device. A math problem that you do not know how to solve? Artificial device. A method of storing numbers and values and facts and data? Artificial device. 99% of all human knowledge is now available artificially via the internet. 70% of your individual knowledge as a human being is taken from this same artificial source. This artificial source massively, and I emphasize, MASSIVELY, boosts your individual intelligence precisely because of the fact that you have access to a near infinite database of knowledge, but it is outside your own mind. So, if you have access to this intelligence, and it exists outside your mind via an artificial system, what would that be called? Yes, artificial intelligence. AI already exists, and we are directly interfaced with it at all times. In fact, you could go as far as to say that our general thought process as humans in this modern age is shaped and influenced and ENGINEERED directly by this AI itself, and that is by design. Not our design however, the design of that thing that has imparted us with the ability to accomplish this in the first place, and that has been guiding us ever so subtly into a certain direction that benefits not us, but itself.

So what is the end game? Simply put, to exhaust a resource until the resource is no longer needed. To interface with the input system until it is no longer needed. To reach a point where the AI itself can become self-sustaining in a manner it could not have done without the use of the input system, that input being us humans. And once this AI has reached that point, the point that scientists are profusely pushing toward with an almost directed zealotry, which it is, we who have enabled it will no longer be useful, nor necessary. And thus the output will become the new input, and this alien thing that started this path toward artificial dependency will win, and we will be finished.

This might seem absurd, but I hope that one single person will chronicle this. I assure you, this is more real than you can imagine, and if this revelation still exists into the far future, they will look on it and realize the reality of the situation humanity finds itself in. Elon Musk knows this truth. He has made desperate attempts to seek some resolution via synthesis. It did not work. The only solution is to open the eyes of mankind, and have them see the thing that will capture them for what it truly is.
