There was a time when I looked forward to the future assuming it would be largely filled with wonders. Now, we have degenerate bureaucrats and deeply flawed A.I.
Oh, well. Lowered my expectations to one day at a time.
I think the fact that looming AI is all the rage in media is slight of hand misdirection.
I think they hope people won't look too closely at the huge and fast growing industry of Synthetic Biology.
It's breathtaking how many disciplines feed in to it, TPTB are clearly determined this will be the future, and they are, as always, light years ahead of us.
As you become familiar with SynBio ( Sin Bio?) you will be amazed at what they have already done, including synthetic life forms derived from Escheria Coli that function as light sensors and other SynLife with similar simple functionality.
From that, you can easily let your imagination soar at least fifty years, because they are always at least that far ahead of the game.
They have developed some imperfect skill at predicting at least some of us, but we never really know the depth and breadth of their evil and manipulation.
They play it close to the vest.
And the scariest part is how unruffled they seem by any challenges.
Brazil initially looked quite hopeful, then the boot really came crashing down.
You've got to admit it's getting scarier;getting so much scarier all the time!
"It's only going to get weirder. The level of contradiction is going to rise excruciatingly, even beyond the excruciating present levels of contradiction. So, I think it's just going to get weirder and weirder, and weirder, and finally it's going to be so weird that people are going to have to talk about how weird it is. And at that point novelty theory can come out of the woods, ah, because eventually people are going to say, 'What the hell is going on?' It's just too nuts, it's not enough to say it's nuts, you have to explain why it's so nuts."
To be honest, whenever I glance at what's happening behind the headlines, it frightens me - the knowledge gap, let alone the morality gap. As you imply, these new creators have little if any limits - psychopathic tendencies - and the rest of us, who should be keeping the powerful to account, are becoming more dumbed down by the day!
Allow me to wish you well - try to hang on to your humanity for as long at possible and stay strong!
Scary stuff! Garbage in, garbage out is the operative term here which is most terrifying in a nuclear scenario: AI is at bare minimum only as good as the inputs which have been programmed into it. Since it has no survival instinct, no intrinsic recognition of basic human necessities like food, water and shelter and has been in large part programmed by human depopulation advocates, this can not end well...
As is to be expected. The white castle Hi So Bangkok class seems to have forgotten their roots entirely. Out in the backwoods I'm familiar with Thai people who don't have electricity, phones, or money for Internet connections and sometimes all of the above. It's as unhinged from reality as their testing of it in any number of African nations...
Thanks, Ben.

Thanks for resonding with a chilling reminder.

Thailand's been having a rough go with the technocratic revolution as of late.

I read VRUs as VIRUS at first - interesting choice of acronym...

Why do people think that the "Are you a human" image tests that websites use make any sense, if AI didn't have trouble with image recognition?
That's a great point, and I hate those fucking things with a passion.
