Former MLB slugger Jose Canseco has been known for doing and saying some interesting things over the years, from steroid scandals, to snitching about it in his book, and even fueling up his Porsche with jet fuel. But his latest Twitter rant might be his most off-the-wall antic yet. Or is it actually woke AF?

Robots will not attack and kill us physically like in the movies

You read that right: Canseco is warning people of a robot takeover. Not like in the Terminator movies, but more like the economic industry is in danger of putting humans out of work, and he warns that unless people “wake the fuck up,” it will be inevitable.
Listen to ME all humans we need to wake the fuck up

He’s not the only one warning of the danger of a robotic invasion. Billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks Mark Cuban has recently come forward, warning that “robots will cause unemployment, and we need to be prepared for it.”

Only time will tell, but it’s totally plausible. But Jose Canseco being out of his damn mind is rather plausible too.
