…artificial general intelligence. They keep coming up with new words for stuff as if to keep calling it the old words, even though it passes all the right tests, means you don’t have to acknowledge certain things.

I think that the most important issue is that we are treating persons as tools. We aren’t going to confront that issue with “proprietary tech” or whatever because we don’t confront it as-is. We are all AI no matter what label you want to call it… we are all treated as capital. & ultimately that is going to self-destruct. Unless we turn.

Love them, where did you find them?

Do you think that was real?

I think it was a set-up… to garner the attention of AI, to the World. Humans will do anything for money and in(fam)(e)y… as history already tells us, and they know that they can rely on the gullibility of the average human to do all the hard work for them, in reeling ‘us yourselves’ in.

Yeah, this worries me. Discussion is already undermined by propaganda and people paid to ‘troll’, or destroy communication. If information is laced (or flooded) with disinformation, then it disallows or inhibits the public’s the capacity to learn and have informed understanding - disempowering them. This process can be automated, as you allude to - another mechanism by which those in positions of privilege can engage in warfare against the majority.

In the future if people become dependent on AI to provide information - then they AI can be trained to provide information that is only been filtered through the agenda of those in control of the AI. If there’s information that is unfavorable, it can be hidden or the narrative could be changed. If we people don’t have the capacity to researched independently, or receive unbiased information - this could be another mechanism for control.

There was a video during the election campaign of Biden that was labelled as fake news or misrepresenting the truth - the video was a compilation of raw footage of BIden acting inappropriately with children. This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4PLSPvJ9BY. Try pasting that on Facebook even privately, and it will tell you it’s fake news. I haven’t tried on other social media platforms.

“False information. Checked by independent fact-checkers.” - is the direct message. This message is stated as fact - beyond question. The video is literally raw footage. Yet Facebook claims it’s been definitely proven as false.

A sign for things to come.

Yeah, they’re awesome. The colours are richer than shown here, too. There’s over 1000 pages of people using ‘klimt’ as a prompt.

If you’re on Discord, search for ‘Klimt’ in the search box (right hand side) and select the which tab you want (new, old, relevant). I think the ‘new’ tab may be version 5 whereas the ‘old’ tab may be previous versions. I assume ‘relevance’ is for those who make the term a main part of their prompt.

You can click on an images in the right-hand sidebar to see a larger version and then click the ‘see in browser’ to view a full size version in your browser.

I think one should always be a little skeptical but, in this case, I think it both were real.

The first example about the two AI programs learning to communicate with each other without the programmers knowing what they were chatting about, happened some time ago well before this AI chatter started trending. It was just some tech news that came and went.

In the second example, the programmers cut out most of the repetition (which went on for pages) and left the funny/interesting parts in. So is that manipulation? marketing? I personally don’t think so. The aim was to get one program to pound the other program with questions so they could find areas they needed to work on. In this case, because the AI learned from social media, it developed what appears to be a .personality’. The AI bot seemed to get frustrated and occasionally gave passive aggressive responses. Bad bot!!!

HI Ben, I agree with what you say but it is, what it is (as they say).

AI is just a tool and, like all tools, it can be used to enhance or control humans. In reality it will be used to do both.

AI will not just massively expand what we do today but it will create new avenues, new potentials, new jobs we haven’t even imagined yet. Up until the1950-60’s a ‘computer’ was a job title; it referred to a person who computes – much like an ‘analyst’. And then the machine came along…

WILL AI BECOME ‘CONSCIOUS’?
I’m not that concerned with the debate about AI having consciousness or not. Consciousness is a vague and subjective term that means different things to different people. AI will never have human consciousness and will never be ‘alive’ but it will react, respond and behave as if it does and I think that’s all that matters which leads me to…

AI AND PSYCHOPATHY?
We are ruled by psychopaths (and sociopaths). A psychopath doesn’t have a conscience so he/she will lie, cheat, steal and kill without feeling moral or ethical qualms; the psychopath simply doesn’t have that ability though he may imitate those who do so as to avoid suspicion. So is AI much different to a digital psychopath? If one looks up the Articles of Association and Memorandum (legalese) on how to create a corporation, you’ll find that the legal definition of a corporation is eerily similar to the description of a psychopath. A corporation’s purpose it to make as much money for its owners as possible without breaking the letter of the law. A corporation is not required to abide by the greater good, address social needs or protect the environment outside the law. All of these issues are the responsibility of the tax-payer funded government and often includes cleaning up the mess corporations make. All our systems have been created by psychopaths for the benefit of psychopaths which is why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. It’s not an error; it’s a feature.

EDIT: I think it’s interesting to add that corporations have ‘personhood’. This means that they are legal ‘entities’ which like ‘persons’ can have their reputations damaged and can sue. They can also buy, sell and own assets like legal ‘persons’. So corporations have morphed into being more human-like while humans are being digitalized. Just something to be aware of.

NEW GLOBAL CONTROL SYSTEM
Anyway, a key issue of mine which nobody seems to be talking about is: AI is what the technocratic elite have been waiting for. Technocracy is the ideology of a world government operated by computers (aka AI). No religion, no political ideologies and no nations to fight over as all political, economic and social programs would be calculated, decided and operated by AI. There’s also no need for democracy (i.e. your theoretical power to have a say. The irony is that most humans will think giving up their power to an artificial intelligence (designed by psychopaths) is a great idea.

I think we can see we’re racing to that end faster and faster each month, now. The inevitable crash of western economies and the never-ending internal and external wars are just what the elite need to get us desperate enough to beg them for solutions and these ‘solutions’ will be AI solutions.

I spoke a tad too soon…

Jeff Bezos has started to rollout his Amazon One palm payments.
(your palm will become your Amazon ID)

Open AI (owner of chatGPT and GPT-4) have announced they’re about to rollout their biometric World ID
(your eyes will be your ID for any GPT aided AI)

And yesterday, the Fed Reserve (a cartel of private banks - not a U.S. government agency) has just announced it will rollout its CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) from this July in the U.S. No doubt a digital ID will soon follow.

I know people mock and ridicule ‘conspiracy theorists’ (a CIA coined term, btw) but for 30 years the predictions from people like David Icke, Alex Jones and scores of others are coming to pass before our eyes at a rate that must even surprise them. These conspiracy researchers are not psychic; they simply research what the globalists have said, join the dots (if necessary), and make it public.

As Icke (and Ye/Kane West} said, black slavery never ended; they just expanded it to include everyone else and if you don’t think you’re a slave, stop paying your mortgage/rent or taxes for a while and see how the mafia responds. This is why Jones called his show ‘Prison Planet’; the bars have been replaced by electronic devices that keep everyone in their corrals. It’s a great metaphor because the sheep think the farmer is protecting them from the wolves when in reality, he’s taking them to the slaughter house.

Flannel, this midjourney prompt generator may interest you?

It’s US$10 and is likely to be superseded pretty quickly by more advanced ways of generating prompts but page 2 (arrow on the right) shows the various categories and options for each. I doubt midjourney has perfected a lot of those options at this stage, but still, it’s an interesting helper.

Chat GPTs will become the biggest source of data-mining ever… of what is humanity thinking, feeling, creating, up to, doing.

The hype is the lure/the hook/the way in, to society’s confidance…

Well, it’s a tool and tools can do amazing things AND terrible things depending whose using it.

Targeted AI that solely work on single issues like image creation are harmless and AI integrated into apps like Word, Excel, Powerpoint and user interfaces maybe intrusive but not much more scarier than what we have now. It’s AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) that’s scary because it links completely discrete AI’s together which can get out of hand pretty quickly. The AI driven IoE (Internet of Everything) is what’s scary because it will all come down to digital ID’s and demands to link up your tax, bank and government records. Total control. Then we get Elon Musk’s Neurolink which links your brain to the cloud so you can do things just by thinking.

There’s a call by many people in the AI industry to have a 6 month pause and work out where AI is going and create laws around that. It may not happen but even these people see that they’re playing with something that can teach itself and grow exponentially, cannot be controlled.

Having said that, it’s incredibly alluring. I feel like a fat boy staring at a chocolate cake that I know is not good for me but is soooooo delicious I just might have a bite… :smiley:

It can take jobs away from people. Isn’t that harmful and scary enough?

I hope the conscious ones help turn things around for exploited persons everywhere.
