- We Need to Talk about TikTok Mass Data Mining AND possible future A.I. uses?:
"This is BEYOND your wildest imagination" ... Joe Rogan as he delves into the intrusive nature of TikTok and the potential threats to your privacy. With recent revelations about cross-platform spying and uncanny suggestions based on private conversations, the question arises: Does TikTok listen to our conversations? And if so, what do they do with our data?
Joe Rogan explores the origins and rapid rise of TikTok, shedding light on its Chinese ownership and the concerns surrounding data security. While there's no definitive proof of American data being passed to Chinese officials, the fact remains that all companies in China are legally obligated to comply with government requests for information.
The video highlights disturbing instances of TikTok's data collection practices, including the transfer of private user data to servers in China and potential breaches of European data rules. Investigations have also raised concerns about national security and political content censorship. With the inability to summon TikTok executives to the Senate, the implications become even more unsettling.
Joe Rogan examines the differences between TikTok and other social media platforms like Facebook, emphasizing that TikTok's ownership by a Chinese company makes it subject to Chinese government demands. He delves into historical examples of power misuse and the potential risks associated with having personal data accessible to the government.

Re: The Technological Revolution: Artificial Intelligence and the Invisible Plague
This conversation is one I am finding very thought provoking. It talks about so many things but one that stood out for me is "the mandela effect". Jason Breshear has theorized that Artificial Intelligence X is ancient and we are in a simulacrum. IF we are embedded in a "program" and IF there is an external realm, COULD the mandela effect be a communication to those who are awakening in the program? Listen here from 37:52 as it is very intriguing. I have listened to Jason off and on for a couple of years and think he is sincere.

Google’s hastily rolled out AI Overview feature is disastrously broken, returning searches claiming that people should spread glue on pizzas, eat rocks, and that it’s safe for pregnant women to smoke cigarettes.

Sabine Hossenfelder, who is a former physicist and now a Youtuber usually commenting on physics, and whose Youtube videos I enjoy listening to (she's got a quick sense of humor), critiques AI as a tool to write software.
Here she's talking specifically about the new AI fad, large language models, that can engage with users in ordinary human languages.
She concludes that AI does not and in its current incarnations, will not, serve that purpose well. It doesn't "think" like a good programmer needs to think, with quite technically specific meanings to specific symbols and words.
I totally agree. I may be like an old farrier (equine hoof care specialist) complaining that Model T mechanics will never know their horses properly ... but if that's my limitation, so be it.
Sabine had fun with this one ... enjoy listening. I Didn’t Believe that AI is the Future of Coding. I Was Right:
The above is not to say that I might not have nascent designs in my mind for using AI ... but it would be more focused applications, where the serious "software engineering" architecting and much of the precision "nuts and bolts" programming was in my hands, and it would just be a specific sort of pattern matching task that was being spoon fed to my local AI engine. I can imagine using such in either the Avalon forum firewall or the Avalon Library search function ... don't hold your breath however.
Re: The Technological Revolution: Artificial Intelligence and the Invisible Plague
I sometimes wonder if i AM an ai
I mean, how tf would i tell the difference
Not that it matters what I am or anything .. seen as i can't help it anyway
Dunno about you guys but I get a sneaking feeling about this AI stuff, like it uh.... already happened?
