Thanks, Joe. Missed you, it would have been tough to get through such a consequential (at least from my perspective) day without hearing from you. God save the control group 🙏

Have you seen a movie called Afraid? It’s about AI and it’s scary. 😱

I figure we humans, part of a populist movement must cross one bridge at a time, then burn it after we have crossed. Movements evolve, but revolutions are always betrayed.

On the negative side, I see AIs as the next nuclear boogeyman = we must continue to develop our AIs because reasons. Mostly that Russia, China, Iran, Botswana, Easter Island, or the Svalbard empire will surpass us and use them against us

Yes, that is the biggest issue - we are racing against ourselves, while claiming Reasons but in the end, it is an Arms Race Against Humanity.

Yes... and we must establish a World Government AI to police all the other AIs.

Unfortunately, there is no alternative.

Now get back to scrolling your AR feed by pinching your fingers together and winking every five seconds.

Does anyone ever address the energy situation around here?

Just wondering... cos it kinda underpins everything else.

Elite transhuman brigade can't even begin to build their hyper tech fantasy break away civ without the current level of industrial output based on economies of scale.

Cost of going it alone would be prohibitive even for billionaires and economically, logistically impossible.

The world reached the current output because billions of people were served up washing machines, TVs, computers, phones all transported on giant container ships burning bunker oil.

The entire system works as one or the elite get nothing just like everyone else. Maybe they can custom build a few things for their projects but I think the idea was to bring a few billion plugged in slaves along for the ride otherwise the maff don't work.

Don't worry, this wont' be a problem for them once AI can fully replace humans. In the meanwhile, they're working hard on convincing us why we horses need to work hard to build the cars to replace us.

From the tech transfer I've seen, the gray goo looks like it will actually be light blue and white (but painted red white & blue cuz appearance is everything).

It seems the AI revolution has hit some truth snags. The same forces that lie about nearly everything meaningful have taught their trained silicon monkeys to lie even faster. It doesn’t take many of those lies to remove all doubt in the AI canard. I use it for structure, and throw out most of the content. It lies, adds fantasy, and cheaply chooses which sources to use rather than balancing them against each other and doing the analysis thing before squirting out a turd an answer. We are a ways away from AI pretending to be alive. It can barely lie as well as Harris.

We are not far away from people pretending AI is alive.

Dr Malone wrote a substack article titled: The Wisdom To Choose Action or Inaction

Complicated versus complex systems from a retreat conference at the Brownstone Institute where Dr. Bret Weinstein lays out the difference between Complicated and Complex Systems. Computers being complicated, Biological systems be in complex. It mostly laid to rest the argument of AI's becoming conscious for me.

I think these guys have been reading your work.

"Although seemingly mysterious to the untutored, with sufficient data and knowledge, complicated systems can be understood with enough precision to be modified accurately and predictably"

But he is wrong about AI. Fundamentally we cannot steer AI systems due to their layers and we cannot get reliably get exact outcomes from them.

I tend to agree with you. I had the opportunity to make a query to the Perplexity AI on Saturday. It made an answer which I copy pasted then before asking a follow up question Google ended the session. Later, I used Firefox privacy window and put up Start Page in it and went to Perplexity and asked the same question. It gave a similar but not quite the same answer. This time instead of copy paste, I made screenshots of everything the AI wrote. I was also able to get follow up questions. Perplexity put up sources at the top of the answers which I visited and verified how perplexity came to the answers it gave me. This reminded me of the "expert systems" that were being developed in the 1980s and 90s. What has really evolved is the ability to scan such huge parts of the internet to gather info at such rapid speed. The most amazing thing to me is the ability to give its answers in a straight forward conversational way, as if I was emailing a person who was an expert on the subject. But as with humans with credentials, I would not take what they say at face value. There, is where the sources it included were valuable to check. On of its sources I checked had more data that varied in some places that I would have to say the AI answer was not as valid as it would seem. Several other sources was a bit superficial. Assuming an AI is the last word on its answers will make people lazy and may cause expensive or dangerous errors when we apply them in real world settings such as medical decisions, or engineering a building or bridge.

Not only are people pretending that AI is alive, but people have helped AI agents make millions already.

Joe, considering the dangers of AI, would it be best to avoid the new AI-enhanced iPhone 16 (and equivalent AI-enhanced smartphones)?

Thank you!

I just discovered you and am inspired by your courage in your pro-humanity. I've reached out to you and would love to connect.

And I think you are one of the first people I've seen who publically have called out both Harris and Trump for being supported by the transhumanist nuts.

Smartphones are fairly evenly distributed. If AR glasses ever take off I would imagine they would be worn by most people too. Keeping up with the Jones's is just something we do. It appears to be deeply ingrained like an algorithm for group survival and cohesion or something.

Of course, this group behavior could also lead us all off a cliff if we take a wrong turn. Quite literally in the case of AR glasses.
