all right let me give you my wildest

23:05 the
23:06 topic okay it goes like this
23:09 someday in our future if it hasn't
23:12 already happened
23:14 that's the conspiracy part someday we
23:16 are guaranteed to live in a future
23:19 in which decisions will be made about
23:21 society
23:22 and politics and policies and all that
23:25 and those decisions will be made by
23:28 artificial intelligence
23:30 how will you be able to identify a
23:33 decision made by
23:34 human beings versus a decision made by
23:37 artificial intelligence
He then proceeds to describe a current string of decisions so knuckleheaded they very likely were made by an algorithm. Bucky Fuller predicted we meat puppets would accept rule by computers.

I fully submit to our future AI rulers so long as I'm in control of the algorithm.

Any disagreement will be met with "you deny science?".

Elon Musk's cat girls with Neuralink?

The point is that if you are already controlled by the algorithm (that someone or something controls) how do you wrest control away?

My strategy is to let the overlords believe they have controlled the mind. Makes disappointing their efforts more surprising and satisfying.

Personal preferences and political conveniences often render scientific protocols to be seen as objectionable or acceptable, even though it lacks common sense to classify what is science and what is not.

I have watched political debates and see a disturbing trend.

I just watched a video The Evidence of Robots Existing In Ancient Times....

At 8:20 it says that in 1100B.C. the Priests of Amon [?] had 'moving statues' that chose each new ruler from the royal family.

What I see are carefully scripted individual questioning sessions with little or no room for rebuttal. Then on to the next subject.

That’s not a debate.

But then again, it was never meant to be...

Quote:
Debate

Debate is a process that involves formal discussion on a particular topic. In a debate, opposing arguments are put forward to argue for opposing viewpoints.


As far as AI is concerned...

I hope we “all” wake up before we let a machine make decisions for us...
