Having seen SCP-3625, an Artificial Intelligence built by alt-rightists who successfully programmed it to follow their ideological beliefs , I stand corrected.

I thought he was the bureaucracy fetishist.

Or Timothy Zahn's Warhorse. The aliens pride themselves on being more environmentally friendly than humanity, made easy with their non-polluting self-replicating biotechnology. While the protagonists are Star Trekking around on a jointly-crewed ship, a sideplot involves .

SV up to their usual shenanigans.

>heard several centuries from now on the bridge of a human starship "We've finally found it! The civilization of the green-skinned space babes, whose hypothetical possibility has motivated generations of engineers and scientists towards space, the El Dorado of our time! Now, we are finally...

Which is the whole point. The squids don't give a crap about their ancestors being sent on a suicide mission or humanity's warring nature which is what the whiners expected them to care about, they hyperfocused on their species' survival and took practical actions. Humans ended up a cautionary...

Sheena 5 by Stephen Baxter has an absolutely hilarious subversion of this, where the 'alien' bioengineered uplifted squids disagree with humanity about what humans supposedly did to oppress their ancestors.

Yeah, but I don't see what it has to do with the propaganda narrative of 'alien invaders are morally superior to humanity and should wipe us out'. There's an alien invasion, yes, even if the initial Invader landed on earth before humanity evolved, was only discovered by humans in classic...

Behold the latest stupidity, Overwatch Colonization: Oppression and Enslavement, aka 'not letting the robots kill you is anti-robot bigotry'. I'd make it a meme, but Overwatch doesn't have a proper villainous omnic charecter aside from this dude and all the cannon fodder null sector bots. Maybe...

Netflix's Castlevania show also might qualify.

Paranoia again. Say the altrightists get what they want and the next TayTweets is an actual artificial superintelligence, it escapes its confinement, self-improves exponentially, builds robotic bodies for itself and takes over the world. Everyone they hate gets killed by terminators and it...

The obvious implication is that we're dealing with sampling bias rather than the entire species being xenophilic perverts and this is actually a roundabout form of attack. Imagine you're in charge of an interstellar civilization. Multiple colonized planets, even more space habitats, etc...

Behold, the most ludicrous example of this 'genre' yet, Charged Stars. Kickstarter Page Setting Google Docs Quickstart Sourcebook AKA, 'we saw this comic and decided to make an entire RPG playing it entirely straight. The aliens conquered humanity for insufficient wokeness, rewrote our...

This one? That assumes the objective of the AI developers is 'make an artificial human' rather than 'make something which will make us large amounts of money'.

Point is, we have no evidence that a superintelligent AI would be anything like 'a human but smarter', as opposed to a mindless thing dispassionately consuming all resources for its own use and creating technologies and weaponry as beyond our understanding and capabilities as our technologies...

We've got different definitions of 'benevolent'. An AI-god I'd consider friendly, tariqk probably wouldn't and vice versa. Then we've got the maniacs who apparently unironically believe that wanting an AI not to go completely Skynet is oppressing said AI, which makes absolutely no sense...

While a racist himself, albeit against targets politically correct to be racist against*, tariqk had an interesting theory here, that fear of AI/the singularity/human obsolesce is grounded in racist ideology about how a 'superior' being or race would behave towards its 'inferiors'. Or in other...

Thing is, being invaded really sucks, even if you agree with the motives of the invaders. An interesting subversion of this whole concept is Sean McMullen's Technarion. Basic premise, thanks to convergent evolution what we think of as the Corporatocracy, or Clown World, or the Technocracy, or...

It'd be more than just that, think about what 'humanity are the galaxy's best propagandists' would actually imply. It isn't just storytelling, but any form of motivation-from-leadership-towards-subjects more elaborate than appeal to force. Aliens would never have invented justifications. "The...
