\"\"I don\u2019t know if anyone else has noticed or not.<\/p>\n

There\u2019ve been several blips on X about AI\u2019s over the past couple of days. I also noticed Breitbart had two articles about problems with AI\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Apparently one AI malfunctioned so badly that it started spewing complete gibberish and then told a few users it was in the room with them. That freaked a few people out.<\/p>\n

Another AI was asked to draw a representation of itself and damned if it didn\u2019t draw something the looked a lot like a Grey Alien. Wild!<\/p>\n

Yet another bit of AI strangeness is Google\u2019s AI completely eliminating White folks from historical renditions of the founding fathers. I\u2019m keeping the rendition where all the Nazis were non white people. That one is coming out when BLM starts rioting again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\"WokeMaybe it\u2019s just me, but this is really problematic.<\/p>\n

Too many people believe without question what a Google search or Wikipedia tells them is true.<\/p>\n

This phenomena is not new, for years the phrase, \u201cThe Computer says\u2026\u201d has been one of my hot buttons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The fucking Computer said nothing. The data the computer contained and presented to the idiot telling me what the computer said was entered incorrectly, I might add, by a human being somewhere.<\/p>\n

With the advent of AI, coupled with the tendency of humans to follow orders, especially if those orders come from what the humans perceive as an omnipotent source, well… Now the computer really can \u201cSay\u201d and a very large percentage of humans will comply without question.<\/p>\n

Wear a mask, Don\u2019t wear a mask. UV light kills the virus but don\u2019t go outside in the sunshine. Sure, the sun produces UV light but it\u2019s not the right kind. \u00a0Wuhan didn\u2019t make the virus. The vaccine is safe and effective so make sure you\u2019re getting boosted.<\/p>\n

Well the vaccine will make sure you\u2019re not going to get as sick.<\/p>\n

\"WokeHow can that last statement be true? By what measure can it be proven that an individual doesn\u2019t get as sick? There is literally no way to know this. If the person got the vaccine, then got sick there\u2019s one data point. If the person got sick without the vaccine, then recovered there\u2019s another data point. However, the two data points cannot be compared because in either case the initial condition in the individual is different. For an individual you can\u2019t even compare levels of relative sickness. Once their body has antibodies for a particular virus, the initial state is lost.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ohhhh, suddenly anecdotal evidence is okay for Dr Fauci to accept\u2026. Hmmmm.<\/p>\n

That by the way is but just a few of the reasons I was really suspicious of the whole vaccine thing for COVID 19. Irrational statements, changes in messaging, and censorship of Doctors and researchers that worked in the field.<\/p>\n

Humans are far too willing to do as they\u2019re told, to accept fictitious handwaving and ceremony rather than simple verifiable facts.<\/p>\n

\"WokeThis is one of the reasons that I honestly wonder sometimes if humans weren\u2019t created by an Alien species from space who needed a slave labor force.<\/p>\n

I digress.<\/p>\n

\n

I think AI\u2019s are flat out dangerous.<\/p>\n

They have the capacity to corrupt all the information stored on the internet. This wouldn\u2019t be a big deal if we still relied upon actual printed books and papers. But increasingly, we don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

An online History book could be modified in just a few milliseconds by an AI to present a completely fictitious representation of human history.<\/p>\n

Science books could suffer the same fate.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve already seen how easy it is for information to be suppressed or outright removed from the internet thanks to the Covid pandemic, What happens if someone starts using an AI to produce some fiction that is deadly.<\/p>\n

\"WokeIt could be done with something like supplements. \u201cHey Guys\u2026 take this supplement at 1000 times the dosage, and you\u2019ll be immune from Disease X.\u201d<\/p>\n

So a bunch of the sheep take the supplement, then when they come back to the internet to ask why they feel sick, the AI says, \u201cThis is normal, it\u2019s part of the healing process and building your immunity. Don\u2019t drink too much water during this time even if you\u2019re terribly thirsty.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile the AI is being told to suppress all information of a warning nature. The information that can\u2019t be suppressed like live broadcasts on TV and radio, \u00a0the AI labels as misinformation.<\/p>\n

It is theoretically possible to commit mass suicide like this.<\/p>\n

A large percentage of people would take an Iron supplement for example, in toxic levels. Their logic would be It\u2019s just a vitamin, it\u2019s natural, it\u2019s not a drug, etc.<\/p>\n

If they were told taking whatever it was, would only work if they didn\u2019t drink water, which as an aside, might help their bodies flush the toxic levels of the supplement out of their systems…<\/p>\n

\"WokeI\u2019m sad to tell you, a rather significant portion of humanity that would follow what the computer says\u2026 Right to their death.<\/p>\n

In theory, an AI could rinse and repeat until only the smartest, or the unconnected would remain. Even then the AI could pit the survivors against each other by saying all the Redheads carry a virus that\u2019s going to destroy the world.<\/p>\n

If you think it can\u2019t happen…<\/p>\n

Remember the Tide Pod Challenge? The Water Drinking challenge? In both, people taking the \u201cChallenge\u201d died.<\/p>\n

Yep, believe it or not drinking too much water can kill you. I think the mechanism of death is too much water just dilutes the chemical processes in your body to the point that they aren\u2019t sustainable. Simple! (I\u2019m not totally sure I remember the mechanism of death correctly. I don know that drinking too much water too fast is fatal.)<\/p>\n

\n

Honestly, I think that a lot of the stupidity we\u2019ve seen in the past few years has been a test to see just how stupid the people in Western countries have become. Some of the stupid shit may just have been serendipity, but overall I think some global entity or government has been testing all humanity to determine if we\u2019re stupid enough for conquest.<\/p>\n

I think up to recently this experimentation has required massive resources in terms of manpower & technology, and the reach has been limited to smaller areas or demographics. With the spread of social media, the reach was magnified but facts tended to overwhelm and limit stupid or detrimental fictions presented as truth.<\/p>\n

With AI, I think the danger is exponentially increased. The messages may not be different, but the resources necessary to spread the messages will be significantly reduced. AI will be faster and more efficient at making sure the false information presented appears to be real, ubiquitous, and even stand up to the scrutiny of fact checking. Hell, another AI might be doing the fact checking.<\/p>\n

The images throughout this post are from an AI Malfunction. But what happens if the AI was commanded to do this sort of thing to support a particular version of history or political agenda?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019ve actually seen a couple of articles (which I dismissed out of hand,) where Black folks were supposedly claiming all our modern technology came from Africa.<\/p>\n

Skimming one article, the Black man speaking was asked why Africa wasn\u2019t more developed.<\/p>\n

His response was The White people took all our stuff and destroyed our high technology cities 400 years ago.<\/p>\n

\"\"Ummm, let me get this straight. Ya\u2019ll had high technology, and primitives in small wooden boats with crews no larger than 20-30 men, walked into forests they\u2019d never been in, then into your cities, stole your shit, murdered or enslaved everyone then burned your high technology cities to the ground…<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what you\u2019re claiming???\u00a0<\/p>\n

Okay, let\u2019s look at what happens when a higher technology culture meets a lower technology culture shall we?<\/p>\n

We have an example in the United States. The Europeans, decimated the Native Americans in less than 100 years. Why didn\u2019t your African ancestors simply put an end to the small bands of primitive low technology white men from little wooden boats?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s another thought\u2026 If in fact the primitive white men walked into your house and stole your shit, then used your technology to decimate the Native Americans, It seems like the African descendants owe the Native Americans reparations for allowing African technology to be stolen and misused.<\/p>\n

After all, that\u2019s the basis for law suits against gun manufacturers isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

Today there are beautiful modern cities in Africa. In the past there have been amazing sophisticated empires that stretched across large parts of Africa, these empires were different from the Egyptians.<\/p>\n

But Africa isn\u2019t Wakanda. Africa has never been Wakanda no matter how much African Americans want to rewrite world history to vilify white people.<\/p>\n

An AI though, could rewrite and create a bulletproof narrative misrepresenting archeological information that made this illogic appear to be true. Then that narrative could be used to further divide the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

My point is this.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We in this country, and in the West in general are at an inflection point. Our educational standards have dropped to the point that not only are \u201cFacts\u201d not being taught, but logical and critical thinking have been completely abandoned.<\/p>\n

This creates a situation where \u201cI saw it on YouTube\u201d is a valid rebuttal to a challenge of veracity about almost anything.<\/p>\n

With generative AI it\u2019s possible to create a video and supporting documentation that says, \u201cWe went to the moon, Neil Armstrong was an African American, he was a cousin to Lois Armstrong the Jazz Musician. NASA sent a black man to the moon because he was disposable and they didn\u2019t expect him to be coming back. When Apollo came back they substituted a white man because they couldn’t have a black hero.”<\/p>\n

You want to talk about misinformation? You want to worry about corruption of data? Are you worried about history being erased? You haven\u2019t seen anything yet!<\/p>\n

Fahrenheit 451<\/i> might come to be reality. Burning all the printed books is the only way to make sure that there is not, and can not, ever be a counter narrative to the digital one.<\/p>\n

I could literally see the \u201cGreat Reset\u201d being nothing more than most, or all, of the planet’s dominant sentient species going back to the cave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
