Amazon Alexa Echo number four enroute to apartment b44

A Poem by matthew scott harris
"

i tell myself not to get bogged down with electronic paraphernalia, and here amazon alexa echo rules my world.

"

The first, second and third

Amazon Alexa Echo stirred
the sound of echoes
and lacked the ways and means
to become linkedin to the WiFi network
and refused to recognize
the assigned password

registered, hashtagged, and branded
with the Verizon Fios router.

Usually three attempts
at an endeavor
happens to be my lucky break
even the example
of Jeff Bezos and company
shipping us our
(get this - our fourth Alexa Echo)
can withstand and weather
a natural phenomena earthquake,
but flakes out when I
(even with the help
of a technician
manning the controls
courtesy a remote session)
resulting in a palpable intake
of the air supply warrants a news-break
causes a resultant vacuum doth take
all the oxygen - inducing massive
catastrophe - cause humans
and most animals
would suffer from immediate
severe hypoxia,
losing consciousness

within 30-180 seconds
and dying within 2-4 minutes
due to brain failure
courtesy Amazon Alexa Echo,
(a brand of smart speakers
developed by Amazon
that act as physical,
voice-controlled,
hands-free hardware)
being insubordinate
and giving the third
or fourth richest person in the world
with his net worth hovering
around $223 billion dollars

certainly wealthy enough
to purchase his own planet, colonizing all

viable celestial bodies extant
within solar system or universe

where extraterrestrials phone home
(which in truth said humanoids
highly sophisticated robots
that require little or no sustenance
nor sleep) at his beck and call
get smart currently theorized
to gain predominance
over Homo sapiens,
and essentially reverse

masters as slaves
putting them behind the eight-ball

through superior processing speeds,

autonomous self-improvement,

and rapid adaptation,

enabling them
to outcompete biological brains
across most cognitive domains with gall
and slowly than more quickly
trumpet a ruse without fanfare

for the common man
turning makers and shakers
of once science fiction
videlicet electronically automated
bodies electric to install
gold plated toilettes within every kraal

housed within high tech huts

manned by vicious guard dogs

actually genetically engineered
fierce genus and species
of programmed canines
and once extinct dinosaurs

that would immediately maul

and tear to shreds any public enemy

who dares enter vaulted

highly surveilled smart homes
while additionally able, eager,

ready and willing to overhaul

seats of education
implementing programming methodologies,
(initially at preschool age kids)

who back in the good old days
could once bank upon
being super smart gifted kids

to transcend the webbed

wide world as predominant primates,

but suddenly figurative tables
(of multiplications turned)

mercilessly thrust into
the steely iron choke hold
of Recursive Self-Improvement
(Intelligence Explosion):
Advanced AI systems could act
as AI researchers themselves,
designing better versions

of their own code
creating a loop
where each new iteration
becomes smarter, faster,
and more capable,
leading to an
"intelligence explosion"
where AI quickly leaves
human intelligence behind
in the dust.
