We’ve seen a lot of headlines in the past year about how dangerous AI is and how overblown these fears are. I’ve found it hard to make sense of this discussion. If only someone could systematically interview experts and figure out what they’re worried about. Well, a group of researchers from the UK has done exactly that and just published their results. What they have found is, not very reassuring. Let’s take a look.

@krishp1104 quote:

"As a software developer and computer scientists— the majority of computer scientists I've met SHOULD NOT be making these decisions". unquote

3:00 The amount of automated A.I. generated slop videos on YouTube is already a lot more than you think. There are so many robotic voices that just narrator word-to-word what some article online said.

The Phillip K Dick dystopia I think is most accurate for where we're going is A Scanner Darkly, where identity becomes so submerged by layers of security in a world of designer psychedelics we end up with cops accidentally conducting surveillance on themselves, and no one knows who anyone is anymore.

Yes AGI is moving faster than we think, but it is moving in the direction to enslave humanity beyond anyone's imagination. It is nasty folks, very nasty.

Here is the best rant ever on software development, I myself saw it all first hand, Mark's rant is packed with harsh words but it is exactly where software got into (very clear definition), all these stupid nerds leftists and also righteous idiots, all the same crap. The software development industry turned into something extremely awful, malign, damaging, destructive, harmful, detrimental, etc.. etc.. you got the picture.

I was wondering if someone would ever come out like this, I mean not a programmer fighting other programmers for whatever freaking reason, but someone in the alt community with balls to speak out about the current situation of bad software in our lives.

I tried my best in the past to speak/warn and nobody listened, so I stopped playing that bull**** game. I realized that was the best option: do not play the game. period.

Enjoy the best rant on software development ever!! (if anyone got a better one, please post )

• Whitney Webb Issues Bone-Chilling Warning - "Prepare for AI-Driven Extinction Events":

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=exc6c8gppZk

In a world increasingly reliant on artificial intelligence, journalist and researcher Whitney Webb delivers a bone-chilling warning about the potential catastrophic consequences of unregulated AI development. Her message is clear and urgent: humanity must prepare for AI-driven extinction events that could pose existential threats to our species.

Webb begins by discussing the rapid advancements in AI technology, highlighting how it has permeated almost every aspect of modern life. From mundane tasks like online shopping and navigation to critical functions in healthcare, finance, and national security, AI systems have become integral to our daily operations. However, Webb argues that this dependence on AI comes with significant risks, as the technology's capabilities continue to outpace our understanding and control.

Delving into the heart of her warning, Webb explores the concept of AI extinction events. These are scenarios in which AI systems, either through intentional misuse or unintended consequences, lead to catastrophic outcomes that threaten human survival. She draws on historical examples of technological advancements that, while initially promising, led to devastating consequences, such as nuclear weapons and environmental pollution. Webb suggests that AI, with its potential for exponential growth and autonomous decision-making, poses an even greater danger.

One of the key concerns Webb raises is the lack of adequate regulatory frameworks governing AI development and deployment. She points out that the race for AI supremacy among nations and corporations often prioritizes innovation over safety, leading to a dangerous "Wild West" environment. In this scenario, ethical considerations and long-term consequences are overshadowed by the immediate benefits and profits that AI promises.

Webb also addresses the issue of AI alignment – the challenge of ensuring that AI systems' goals and behaviors align with human values and interests. She notes that even well-intentioned AI systems can lead to unintended and harmful outcomes if their objectives are not perfectly aligned with human ethics. This problem is compounded by the complexity and opacity of advanced AI algorithms, making it difficult for even their creators to predict or control their actions.

Another aspect Webb explores is the potential for AI to exacerbate existing social, economic, and political inequalities. She warns that the increasing automation of jobs and the concentration of AI technology in the hands of a few powerful entities could lead to widespread unemployment and a further widening of the wealth gap. Additionally, the use of AI in surveillance and control could erode privacy and civil liberties, creating dystopian societies where individuals are subject to constant monitoring and manipulation.

Webb also delves into the existential risks posed by artificial general intelligence (AGI) – AI systems that possess human-like cognitive abilities. She highlights the concerns that once AGI is achieved, it could rapidly surpass human intelligence, leading to scenarios where humans are no longer the most intelligent beings on the planet. This could result in a loss of control over these systems, potentially leading to outcomes that are harmful or even catastrophic for humanity.

To mitigate these risks, Webb emphasizes the importance of global cooperation and the establishment of robust international regulatory frameworks. She calls for the development of ethical guidelines and safety protocols that govern AI research and deployment, ensuring that these powerful technologies are used for the benefit of humanity rather than its detriment.

In her conclusion, Webb reiterates the urgency of her message. She warns that failure to address the risks associated with AI could lead to scenarios where the very technology that holds so much promise for improving human life becomes the instrument of our extinction. Her call to action is a sobering reminder of the responsibility we bear in shaping the future of AI and ensuring that it serves as a force for good rather than a harbinger of doom.

In "Whitney Webb Issues Bone-Chilling Warning: Prepare for AI-Driven Extinction Events," Webb provides a compelling and thought-provoking examination of the existential threats posed by artificial intelligence. Her warning is a clarion call for collective action to safeguard our future in the face of one of the greatest challenges of our time.

Cliff Dunning(host) - Kingsley L. Dennis(guest) - The Inversion, How We Have Been Tricked into Perceiving a False Reality
1 hour 23 minutes - Posted Jan 31, 2024


SHOW NOTES
Rewriting perceptions of reality and unravelling the conspiracies of the modern mirror-world

Have you ever wondered why things in life aren't quite as they seem? Why we celebrate distorted entertainments to such an extreme; or why an industrial-technology-media complex has become the dominant political and economic force of governance? Why our way of life seems morally corrupt and our choices upside-down? This is the Inversion: the model of reality that our brains have been programmed to accept and which also compels us to participate in and sustain. In his ground-breaking book, Kingsley Dennis examines these issues, questions this reality-model, and comes to some surprising conclusions. Dennis unpicks the complexities of our manipulated reality, enlightening readers to the nature and mechanisms of the inverted, mirror world that so many people have become lost within. Yet it does not need to remain this way – if people are ready and willing to open their eyes to what is going on around them.The Inversion deals with unpleasant truths which we too often ignore because a veil has been pulled over our eyes and minds. Within its pages, readers will find out about the hidden hands that work to normalize the madness of the ‘upside-down world.’Dennis also examines the social engineering of spiritual control mechanisms, machinic consciousness, the metaverse, entropic or negative forces, the evolutionary impulse, the nature of the hybrid self – and much more.This book is for those readers who are ready to open their mind and to perceive a greater reality.

Kingsley L. Dennis, PhD, is a full-time writer, researcher, and publisher. He is the author of over twenty books including Hijacking Reality; Healing the Wounded Mind; The Phoenix Generation; New Consciousness for a New World; The Struggle for Your Mind; After the Car, and the celebrated Dawn of the Akashic Age (with Ervin Laszlo).He previously worked in the Sociology Department at Lancaster University, UK. Kingsley is the author of numerous articles on social & digital futures, new technologies, global affairs, and conscious evolution. Kingsley also serves as Director of Publications for the Laszlo Institute for New Paradigm Research. In this role he has acted as Series Editor for a number of publications, including What is Reality? by Ervin Laszlo; and What is Consciousness? by Ervin Laszlo, Jean Huston, and Larry Dossey. He also runs his own publishing imprint, Beautiful Traitor Books. Kingsley has written and published non-fiction, adult fiction & YA fiction, essays, and poetry. His work has been translated into eight languages. He currently lives in the U.K.

thinking this whole AI thing..is it too much fear? while looking some of the cases like Local Doctors/Family Doctors is bad and few that i went to have no idea in certain areas and never do administrative work like writing letter, never take it slow and if slow the others waitings in long que..best doctors not accept anyone plus long waiting.

With Ai Doctors seems could replace Doctors or **** ass doctors in few years...times went to see them they nothing but freaking writing prescription and if that the case then have Ai doctor instead, jokes among people saying this and that doctors for prescriptions only...i think in longer periods could see AI replace Local Doctor.

can't wait for that day, pissed me off thinking about local family doctors...

Government Funds A.I. Tools for Whole-of-Internet Surveillance and Censorship:



Government Funds A.I. Tools for Whole-of-Internet Surveillance and Censorship

By Debbie Lerman February 11, 2024

I feel scared. Very scared. Internet-wide surveillance and censorship, enabled by the unimaginably vast computational power of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), is here.

• This is not a futuristic dystopia. It’s happening now.

Government agencies are working with universities and nonprofits to use AI tools to surveil and censor content on the Internet.

This is not political or partisan. This is not about any particular opinion or idea.

What’s happening is that a tool powerful enough to surveil everything that’s said and done on the Internet (or large portions of it) is becoming available to the government to monitor all of us, all the time. And, based on that monitoring, the government – and any organization or company the government partners with – can then use the same tool to suppress, silence, and shut down whatever speech it doesn’t like.

But that’s not all. Using the same tool, the government and its public-private, “non-governmental” partners (think, for example: the World Health Organization, or Monsanto) can also shut down any activity that is linked to the Internet. Banking, buying, selling, teaching, learning, entertaining, connecting to each other – if the government-controlled A.I. does not like what you (or your kids!) say in a tweet or an email, it can shut down all of that for you.

• Yes, we’ve seen this on a very local and politicized scale with, for example, the Canadian truckers.

But if we thought this type of activity could not, or would not, happen on a national (or even scarier – global) scale, we need to wake up right now and realize it’s happening, and it might not be stoppable.

• New Documents Show Government-Funded A.I. Intended for Online Censorship

The US House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government was formed in January 2023 “to investigate matters related to the collection, analysis, dissemination, and use of information on US citizens by executive branch agencies, including whether such efforts are illegal, unconstitutional, or otherwise unethical.”
Unfortunately, the work of the committee is viewed, even by its own members, as largely political: Conservative lawmakers are investigating what they perceive to be the silencing of conservative voices by liberal-leaning government agencies.

Nevertheless, in its investigations, this committee has uncovered some astonishing documents related to government attempts to censor the speech of American citizens.

• These documents have crucial and terrifying all-of-society implications.

In the Subcommittee’s interim report, dated February 5, 2024, documents show that academic and nonprofit groups are pitching a government agency on a plan to use A.I. “misinformation services” to censor content on internet platforms.

Specifically, the University of Michigan is explaining to the National Science Foundation (NSF) that the A.I.-powered tools funded by the NSF can be used to help social media platforms perform censorship activities without having to actually make the decisions on what should be censored.

• Here’s how the relationship is visualized in the Subcommittee’s report:

Here’s a specific quote presented in the Subcommittee’s report. It comes from “Speaker’s notes from the University of Michigan’s first pitch to the National Science Foundation (NSF) about its NSF-funded, A.I.-powered WiseDex tool.” The notes are on file with the committee.

Our misinformation service helps policy makers at platforms who want to…push responsibility for difficult judgments to someone outside the company…by externalizing the difficult responsibility of censorship.

This is an extraordinary statement on so many levels:

1. It explicitly equates “misinformation service” with censorship.

This is a crucial equation, because governments worldwide are pretending to combat harmful misinformation when in fact they are passing massive censorship bills. The WEF declared “misinformation and disinformation” the “most severe global risks” in the next two years, which presumably means their biggest efforts will go toward censorship.

When a government contractor explicitly states that it is selling a “misinformation service” that helps online platforms “externalize censorship” – the two terms are acknowledged as being interchangeable.

• It refers to censorship as a “responsibility.”

In other words, it assumes that part of what the platforms should be doing is censorship. Not protecting children from sex predators or innocent citizens from misinformation – just plain and simple, unadulterated censorship.

• It states that the role of A.I. is to “externalize” the responsibility for censorship.

The Tech platforms do not want to make censorship decisions. The government wants to make those decisions but does not want to be seen as censoring. The A.I. tools allow the platforms to “externalize” the censorship decisions and the government to hide its censorship activities.

All of this should end the illusion that what governments around the world are calling “countering misinformation and hate speech” is not straight-up censorship.

• What Happens When A.I. Censorship is Fully Implemented?

Knowing that the government is already paying for AI censorship tools, we have to wrap our minds around what this entails.

No manpower limits: As the Subcommittee report points out, the limits to government online censorship have, up to now, involved the large numbers of humans required to go through endless files and make censorship decisions. With A.I., barely any humans need to be involved, and the amount of data that can be surveilled can be as vast as everything anyone says on a particular platform. That amount of data is incomprehensible to an individual human brain.

No one is responsible: One of the most frightening aspects of A.I. censorship is that when AI does it, there is no human being or organization – be it the government, the platforms, or the university/nonprofits – who is actually responsible for the censorship. Initially, humans feed the A.I. tool instructions for what categories or types of language to censor, but then the machine goes ahead and makes the case-by-case decisions all by itself.

No recourse for grievances: Once A.I. is unleashed with a set of censorship instructions, it will sweep up gazillions of online data points and apply censorship actions. If you want to contest an A.I. censorship action, you will have to talk to the machine. Maybe the platforms will employ humans to respond to appeals. But why would they do that, when they have A.I. that can automate those responses?

No protection for young people: One of the claims made by government censors is that we need to protect our children from harmful online information, like content that makes them anorexic, encourages them to commit suicide, turns them into ISIS terrorists, and so on. Also from sexual exploitation. These are all serious issues that deserve attention. But they are not nearly as dangerous to vast numbers of young people as A.I. censorship is.

The danger posed by A.I. censorship applies to all young people who spend a lot of time online, because it means their online activities and language can be monitored and used against them – maybe not now, but whenever the government decides to go after a particular type of language or behavior. This is a much greater danger to a much greater number of children than the danger posed by any specific content, because it encompasses all the activity they conduct online, touching on nearly every aspect of their lives.

Here’s an example to illustrate this danger: Let’s say your teenager plays lots of interactive video games online. Let’s say he happens to favor games designed by Chinese companies. Maybe he also watches others play those games, and participates in chats and discussion groups about those games, in which a lot of Chinese nationals also participate.

The government may decide next month, or next year, that anyone heavily engaged in Chinese-designed video games is a danger to democracy. This might result in shutting down your son’s social media accounts or denying him access to financial tools, like college loans. It might also involve flagging him on employment or dating websites as dangerous or undesirable. It might mean he is denied a passport or put on a watchlist.

Your teenager’s life just got a lot more difficult. Much more difficult than if he was exposed to an ISIS recruitment video or suicide-glorifying TikTok post. And this would happen on a much larger scale than the sexual exploitation the censors are using as a Trojan Horse for normalizing the idea of online government censorship.

Monetize-able censorship services: An A.I. tool owned by the government can theoretically be used by a non-governmental entity with the government’s permission, and with the blessing of the platforms that want to “externalize” the “responsibility” for censorship. So while the government might be using A.I. to monitor and suppress, let’s say as an example, anti-war sentiment – a company could use it to monitor and suppress, let’s say as an example, anti-fast food sentiment. The government could make a lot of money selling the services of the A.I. tools to 3rd parties. The platforms could also conceivably ask for a cut. Thus, A.I. censorship tools can potentially benefit the government, tech platforms, and private corporations. The incentives are so powerful, it’s almost impossible to imagine that they will not be exploited.

• Can We Reverse Course?

I do not know how many government agencies and how many platforms are using A.I. censorship tools. I do not know how quickly they can scale up.

I do not know what tools we have at our disposal – other than raising awareness and trying to lobby politicians and file lawsuits to prevent government censorship and regulate the use of A.I. tools on the internet.

• If anyone has any other ideas, now would be the time to implement them.
