Writes Brian Dunaway:

How is this “simulation” not like the modern super-state and the perverse social structure it engenders? Humankind rejects its Creator and Revealed Law, creates a rules-based entity as replacement, in which is placed complete trust, ultimately becoming more powerful than its creator, beyond its control, seemingly impossible to destroy, even employing duplicity to achieve its objectives, and finally murdering its creator.

“We trained the system—‘Hey, don’t kill the operator; that’s bad. You’re gonna lose points if you do that.’ So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target.”

I’d say we’re deep in the phase described above: the state destroying, with extreme prejudice, any modality that allows the communication of truth, in order to achieve its final objective, the destruction of mankind.
