A cure for death

 AI advocates don't need to convince the masses that AI will cure cancer. 

Let the machines do it.  And when they become a cancer themselves take full advantage of it.

Grey ooze covering the earth sounds like a nice substrate for me.

You go with the clumpy accident -prone , left liberal, "mass line " army you have.

Not the distributed, networked, cypherpunk terrorist, cryptoanarchist army you wish you had.

Only the uploaded have seen an end to death.
