THIS IS WHAT ENGLAND WILL BE LIKE WHETHER IT LEAVES THE EU OR NOT.

Résultat de recherche d'images pour "pictures of england in the future"

After an entirely voluntary act of self-harm England will have lost its European identity with no obvious solutions. No longer a global economy it will struggle to be heard in the United Nations World, not to mention in the USA.

Struggling to make ends meet we will see a country that is not only insecure about its place in the world but struggling with its internal identity not to mention it’s past.

There will be no game-changing world trade deals to deal with its loss of revenue to allow a proper restructuring of funding of its infrastructure. 

London as Corporate England (which sets its own rules) will carry on, powered as ever by its own brand equity with sterling strengthen due to the race to the bottom of corporate and other taxes.

With a deepening sense of nationalism or isolationism, English politics will feed on the helplessness of the old parties, driving the youth of the country to become activism, leading to civil unrest.

All of which will strengthen the perception of a liquid world with populist solutions.

The conservative party will split with a new populist political party promoting coexistence, appreciation of diversity, liberal pluralistic democracy freedom of speech, and internationalism.

As with the Eu if opportunity and wealth are not seen to be distributed evenly populist will sweep everything in its path, becoming more anxiety driven, angrier.

( BOTH ENGLAND AND THE EU NEED TO PURSUE AN ECONOMIC POLICY THAT DEFENDS CAPITALISM AND FREE TRADE BUT ENSURES THAT THE BENEFITS OF THIS SYSTEM REACH THE MAJORITY OF THE THE POPULATION.

THEY BOTH NEED TO DEFEND A SOCIETY THAT IS BOTH FAIR AND MULTI-ETHNIC WHICH MEANS DOMESTICATING NATIONALISM BY BROADENING THE BONDS AND SOLIDARITY BEYOND THE PERSON THE FAMILY OR ETHNIC AND RELIGIOUS TIES.)

Populism will make decisions on reform that the euro area needs to ensure sustainability almost impossible to achieve.

Relationship with Ireland will start to show signs of strain over the border and fishing.

Northern Ireland will be in turmoil with a pending vote on Unity with Southern Ireland.

Wales and Scotland will still be shackled as whimpering serfs to the throne.

The cost of living will increase. The huge cost of maintaining naval and military power will come under severe criticism against the cost of the NHS and social care.

The EU will stay an integrated economic area even it fails to survive in its present form.

BOTH ECONOMIES EU AND UK WILL NOT HAVE CHANGED MUCH except for the pace of growth.

THE BEADY EYE SAY’S: BAD SCIENCE = BAD POLITICS.

WE HAVE WITNESSED THIS DOWN THE COURSE OF HISTORY.Résultat de recherche d'images pour "pictures of darwin"

For example, Bird flu that became the Spanish Flu spreading worldwide killing millions and millions of us prematurely or was it because of Darwin’s theory of evolution the survival of the fittest.

Indeed in this age of the counter-factual and pseudo-factual, acquaintance with the foundations of our scientific tradition — and insights into the struggles of their creation — seems a matter of some urgency when one looks at climate change or the development of artificial intelligence.

The three limitations of Darwin’s theory concern the origin of DNA, the irreducible complexity of the cell, and the paucity of transitional species.

Because of these limitations, we now can predict a paradigm shift away from evolution to an alternative explanation.

The expression: ”the fittest”, does not mean the strongest individual, but the best or sufficiently adapted to the environment.

Our conception of the world and our place in it might be drastically different now with our fate squarely in our hands or is it – Selection by Algorithms.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MIGHT ILLUMINATE ANY AND EVERY ASPECT OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR.

WHAT IF THE WAY YOU LIVE AFFECTS THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF YOUR DESCENDANTS – CREATIONISM – SELECTION BY GENETIC ALGORITHMS.  

Darwin writing before the discovery of DNA knew that his theory was only the beginning. All living things are related.

But the human genome sequenced in 2001 presents us with a paradox.

Where did it come from and what role is going to play in our future evolution.

In Science facts, like theories may change so it is imperative that the legacy of our generation to the next must be good science to provide wisdom, not algorithms for profit.

WHEN IT COMES TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IT AMAZES ME HOW PASSIVE WE ALL ARE AT THE MOMENT, EXCEPTING IT’S ENTRANCE INTO OUR LIVES THROUGH THE BACK DOOR.

IF WE CONTINUE TO LEAVE ALGORITHMS AND HOW THEY WORK UNEXPLAINED THEY WILL UNCOUPLE US FROM REALITY. IF WE DON’T US HUMANS WILL BE LEFT WITH LITTLE OR NO AUTONOMY – AN UNREGULATED INTRUSION INTO PEOPLES LIVES.

It’s time we realize the pressure AI is putting on humanity. AI is by nature not conscious or moral: There can be no doubt that the development of artificial bits of intelligence raises ethical questions.

It is the engineers and other masters of algorithms who develop the principles and their boundaries, that need to be held to account.Résultat de recherche d'images pour "pictures of ethical ai"

It’s up to us to ensure that in the very conception of AI that is integrate upstream has inbuilt values of transparency, honesty, not just profit for profit sake.

We need to start asking ourselves seriously for what purpose will our data be used?

On which and whose power and what bases it will be used?

Are we heading for a digital dictatorship with all life choices decided by AI?

In order for the algorithms and smart solutions that are developed to be unbiased and discriminatory, the plurality of design teams is a key principle to keep in mind. Diversity must be at the heart of the issues of construction and the development of trust in AI. Integrating women, people from minorities or experts in the subject in question, helps ensure a technological world for all.

We must put the human in the heart of the machine, and democratize AI by making it accessible to all, and finally control the AI by ensuring the truth, security, and confidentiality of data and by regulating algorithms to ensure that they incorporate diversity and exceed its initial biases.

Our attempts so far are dismal:

The European Union’s new law giving people a “right to be forgotten,” is having exactly some of the effect its critics predicted:

The question to be answered by the EU Law is it censoring the internet, giving new tools that help the rich and powerful (and ordinary folk) hide negative information about them, and letting criminals make their histories disappear.

In fact, the ethical issues of AI question are it uses: For what purpose is the AI ​​and must it be used?  How to ensure that these technologies are not manipulated for purposes contrary to the values ​​they defend?

 What is needed is an AI shaped by everyone, NOT PROFIT HIDDEN IN THE

CLOUD.

THE FIRST PLACE TO START IS TO EMPHASIZE THE PROBLEM:Résultat de recherche d'images pour "pictures of the uk map"

The members of the union do not have moral or ethical need to negotiate a deal for a leaving member.

Other than the loss of a members market and financial contributions, there is no obligation on the European Union to change its rules of membership to accommodate a leaving member.

IT WAS NOT THE EUROPEAN UNION WISH TO LEAVE ENGLAND.

It is not the duty of the European Union to put forward a package with new terms and conditions to satisfy a leaving member.

It is its duty to protect existing members privileges of membership.

England threatening the EU is not new.

It is up to England either to hold another referendum or have a general election, neither of which will solve the problems which are now exposed by the first referendum and devolution.

We are looking at the realms of an empire coming home to roost, not a country whose people voted for the sovereignty of the Conservative party (who are in power thanks to the bribery of 9 DUP Northern Ireland political bigots). at the expense of the U.K.

A no deal might not be the end of the world, however, it will damage both the European economy and the U.K. Economy with Ireland and Northern Ireland being affected the worst.

There is only one solution left. An extension of Article 50 until an associate agreement can be achieved.

IT’S TIME FOR SOME DILEXIT MULTUM POLICES NOT GDP.

THE BEADY EYE OPEN LETTER OF RESPECT: TO PRIME MINSTER THERESA MAY

21 Friday Sep 2018

Posted by in Uncategorized

≈ Comments Off on THE BEADY EYE OPEN LETTER OF RESPECT: TO PRIME MINSTER THERESA MAY

21/SEPTEMBER/ 2018.

Dear Mrs. Prime Minster May,

The other day I was hammering a nail in the wall to hang a picture.

I hit my finger. Immediately, my right hand put down the hammer and took care of my left hand.

My right hand never said, ” Left hand you know I’m taking good care of you. You should remember that” And my left hand did not say, Right hand, you have made me suffer. I want justice, give me that hammer.

The point is to demand respect you seem to be putting the cart before the horse.

Since joining as a common market member, the UK has secured numerous significant opt-outs from what is now the EU –  principle among them being from the common currency (Britain and Denmark are the only countries not obliged to join), Schengen (open borders and common visa area) and the common agricultural policy.

Given the ‘semi-detached’ status you already enjoyed one might even detect a return of the Anglophobia of the imperial era with its stress on English or British hypocrisy: the domineering bully of a country congratulating itself on its gentlemanly liberalism.

It’s time for you to stop acting like a spoiled child and accept that you can’t have everything both ways — departure from the EU but membership in programs like Galileo and Erasmus; an Irish border that’s both closed but somehow open; access to the single market without its most important conditions; the freedom of movement and no oversight by the European Court of Justice; your pick of the European cherry tree, without bothering to water the soil or tend to its branches.

Get real the European Union has and is showing respect to its core values and the millions how died that led to its foundations.  Résultat de recherche d'images pour "pictures of theresa may"

YOURS FAITHFULLY,

The Beady Eye.

 

 

THE BEADY EYE ASK’S: ARE WE ALL GOING TO END UP AS PETS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

(  FIVE MINUTE READ)

Every moment of our lives is now being governed more and more by AI.

We live in a sprawling technological of surveillance networks that are monitoring every move to allow the trustworthy deemed by algorithms to roam on leads of recommendations and face recognition.  HUMANITY AS WE KNOW MELTING INTO MACHINES.

YOU COULD SAY THAT BIOLOGICAL EVOLUTION IS COMING TO AN END WITH HUMANITY ITSELF IS BECOMING MEANINGLESS.

Rest assured we’re going to get a collective case of AI implementation indigestion due to algorithms sprawl.

There is no reason for AI to be interested in the things that we humans are interested in.Résultat de recherche d'images pour "pictures of ai pets"

So will the future be fantastic? or will we eventually have machines that are so intelligent they will have to turn themselves off for humanity to survive?

Let me ask you this:

Are we all becoming so blind, deaf, and dumb, that we are promoting algorithms to governance?  Digital Dictatorship.

If AI develops into the realms of emotions will we consider it cruel to turn it off?

They may or may not talk to us. Who knows what comes after Smartphones.

HOWEVER, WE NEED TO REALIZE NOW NOT IN THE FUTURE THAT THIS IS THE TIME THAT WE NEED WORLD REGULATIONS GOVERNING PROFIT SEEKING ALGORITHMS.

AI MIGHT WELL BE LOWERING THE COST OF PREDICTIONS BUT AT THE MOMENT IT IS DRIVEN BY FOLLOW THE MONEY RATHER THEN FIGURING OUT WHERE THE TRUTH LIES.

As we promote the use of data technology we should ensure that there is a common taxonomy so even if the data itself remains federated, it is capable of being accessed interoperably.

If we continue to design a technological world of haves and have not the headaches are only just about to begin.

THERE IS A EXPLORATION BIAS INHERENT IN THE TRAINING DATA THAT MACHINE-LEARNING ALGORITHMS USE.

New regulations can promote shared mobility in the world of the merging of the real and virtual worlds. Furthermore, it is now that we have the opportunity to engineer around the mistake that has plagued humanity since the dawn of capitalism – INEQUALITY.

The big questions are:

HOW DO WE MANAGE TECHNOLOGY THAT WE LIKELY DON’T UNDERSTAND?

IS IT REAL OR FABRICATED?

In the theory of evolution and natural selection perhaps George Price equation IS NOW TURNING INTO AN ALGORITHM.

( As I understand it deals with any selection process. It says nothing in particular about biological or genetic evolution and is not tied to any particular biological scenario. Therefore it has immense power but it is also quite possible to apply it incorrectly to the real world.)

THE RULES OF PROBABILITY THEORY AND STATISTICS OR ANY OTHER MATHEMATICAL MANIPULATION DESCRIBE THE ACTUAL WORLD IS SYNTHETIC.

Some will say why hurt our brains when we can trust  Einstein, Alex, Google Assistant and other software tools to think for us?Résultat de recherche d'images pour "pictures of ai pets"

WHY INDEED.

IF WE WANT A WORLD RULED BY THOSE THAT OWNS THE DATA WE ARE WELL ON THE WAY. WHAT HAPPENS ONLINE IMPACTS OUR ECONOMIES, OUR GOVERNMENTS, AND US.

TO IGNORE THIS COMPLEX QUESTION WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE  WHICH NOW IS REVOLUTIONIZING EVERYTHING WITHOUT A UNDERSTANDING OF ITS RISKS AND THE NEED FOR GOVERNING REGULATION LAWS IS BEYOND MADNESS.

TO ALLOW AI TO REMAIN IN THE HANDS OF A FEW COMPANIES IS SUICIDAL.

NOT TO BE ABLE TO HOLD THE CLOUD ACCOUNTABILITY IS LEAVING THE DOOR WIDE OPEN FOR THESE COMPANIES AND OTHERS TO COME TO EXPLOIT US. WITH THESE COMPANIES DECIDING WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE OR NOT.

WE NEED TO COMMIT TO TECHNOLOGIES THAT UPHOLD THE VALUES OF HUMANITY OPEN TO ALL.

NOT CLOUDED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BUT TOTALLY TRANSPARENCY INTELLIGENCE.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE PERCEPTRON ALGORITHM.

DON’T STOP QUESTION DATA, DON’T STOP QUESTION AUTHORITY, AND DON’T STOP QUESTION YOURSELF.

The current Brexit negotiations (which I believe in the long run will be worthless to the peoples of Ireland, England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland ) ARE CONFUSING TO ME AN IRISH MAN.

Unfortunately, the border is drawn in hundreds of years of blood, NOT FRICTIONLESS TRADE IN GOODS.

Résultat de recherche d'images pour "pictures of electronic border"

To those that have little to lose its only a matter of trade, between the EU and England when it leaves without an agreement.

Answer these questions if you can.

Who will have responsibility for it?

Who will own the data?

What exactly are we talking about here, is it the consequences for political parties rather than people lives?

If there is a border whether hard or otherwise do the terms of its application apply to the Spanish Gibraltar border?

WHAT PRICE IS BEING ASKED BY THE EU – CONSOLIDATION OF CORPORATE TAX BASE.

THE UK GOVERNMENT HAVE NO RIGHTS TO TEAR UP THE GOOD FRIDAY AGREEMENT. IT IS A MEANS TO AN END, NOT AN END TO A MEANS.

What part of the Lisbon treaty or any another treaty for that matter allows the EU to negotiate what form its member borders should take or have?Résultat de recherche d'images pour "pictures of electronic border"

Northern Ireland voted to stay in the Eu so why not offer NI an association agreement like Andorra has a customs union?

IF NORTHER IRELAND STAY WITHIN THE UK AGREEMENT OR NOT THE REALITY IS A HARD BORDER UNLESS WE HAVE A UNITED IRELAND. 

For those that want to understand the border further reading:

You don’t need me to tell you that we are living through an era of tremendous transition and disruption and whether or not we are comfortable with AI may already be moot:

HOWEVER, THE THREE BIGGEST PROBLEMS FACING THE WORLD CLIMATE CHANGE, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE FORM OF PROFIT SEEKING ALGORITHMS, AND NUCLEAR WAR REMAIN VIRTUALLY IGNORED DUE TO OUR STUPIDITY. 

NONE OF THESE PROBLEMS CAN BE SOLVED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE OR ON A NATION BY NATION APPROACH.

THEY ARE GLOBAL AND NEED GLOBAL COOPERATION TO BE SOLVED.

IT MAY BE HARD TO BUY INTO THESE PROBLEMS AFTER HAVING GROWING UP IN THE ERA OF INDUSTRY BUT UNFORTUNATELY GOVERNMENTS, WORLD INSTITUTIONS, AND BUSINESS AND US WILL FIND OURSELVES AT THE HELM OF THE PAST IF WE PERSIST WITH THE BELIEF THAT ECONOMIES, CONSUMPTION, AND PROFIT IS THE HOLY GRAIL OF OUR EXISTENCE.

Unfortunately, human stupidity is perhaps the most powerful force humanity has at its disposal to combat the direction we are going to- Extinction.Résultat de recherche d'images pour "pictures of stupidity"

WHEN IT COMES TO IDENTIFYING ITS EFFECTS THERE IS NO PROBLEM FINDING EXAMPLES IN THE PAST.

WE ARE NOW TRANSFERRING STUPITY INTO THE FUTURE IN THE FORM OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE THAT NO ONE UNDERSTANDS OR WILL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND.

Remembering that there are no defenses against stupidity. The more pertinent question now is whether we can and ought to build trust in systems that can make decisions beyond human oversight that may have irreversible consequences.

In the internet era, technology is changing at an alarming rate. We, humans, are becoming increasingly reliant on the World Wide Web. This is leading to a decrease in the retention capacity of the human brain and an overall downfall in the intelligence quotient of Homo sapiens.

The only way a society can avoid being crushed by the burden of its idiots is if the non-stupid work even harder to offset the losses of their stupid brethren.

If we take a critical look at the three global problems starting with the current global position on climate change:

Reduce carbon emissions on a national promises bases – stupid.

The bottom line is, take action to cool your planet or the planet will take action and cool your life – forever.

The development of AI:

Turn a blind eye by continuing to feed human existence data into algorithms for profit and power thus concentrating both into the hands of a few Clouds- stupid.  

Nuclear Power:

Elect Facebook and Twitter leaders, while Social media feeds us personal recommendations and false News- stupid. 

IS IT TIME TO GET OUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND AND DEMAND SOME GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE TO TACKLE THE GLOBAL PROBLEMS.

RATHER THAN TRADE WARS, PROMISES, NATIONAL ASPIRATIONS, PROFIT FOR PROFIT SAKE, WARS, INEQUALITY, WE COULD LOOK AFTER EACH OTHER AND THE EARTH WE ALL LIVE ON BY ENSURING THE AI SERVES US ALL EQUALLY NOT THE FEW.

While the UK is wholly focused on Brexit negotiations, yesterday the 12th Sept Jean- Claude Junker gave his state of the Union speech.Résultat de recherche d'images pour "pictures of jean claude juncker"

It may have been a thoughtful and reflective speech, accompanied by concrete initiatives on trade, investment screening, cybersecurity, industry, and data IT DID LITTLE TO ADDRESS the wave of populist protest that can yet inflict serious damage on Europe.

The rise of populist or far-right parties in Germany, Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Denmark and elsewhere threaten not only the stability of individual governments, but the cohesion of Europe itself, and its most sacred values of democracy and freedom.Résultat de recherche d'images pour "pictures eu commission"

Already we can see that the EU is practically powerless to resist the erosion of civil liberties and the rule of law in eastern Europe, while the Conte-Salvini administration in Rome promises even more serious trouble on migration and the single currency.

Mr. Juncker recognized these challenges but had few immediate proposals to turn the populist tide nor did he offer much evidence that the commission has all the answers.

These are not times for any European leader to talk airily about further losses of national power and sovereignty. The next commission president need not be a Eurosceptic – an absurd notion anyway – but he or she will need, somehow, to bring Europe closer to its disaffected citizens. The EU is not a sovereign nation. It can’t have a president, nor can it grant citizenship.

It’s only an organization, deluded enough to think it’s a country.

The social balance of the EU and the EU nations is crucial for the EU future. The effects of the economic and financial crisis are still causing great hardship in many parts of Europe.

If the commission is to learn anything from the departure of the UK it must improve the public perception of the Union.

We will and are living in a Union of unemployed people, many of them young people who feel sidelined. Until this situation has changed, it must be the number one concern,  to grant the Uk any agreement that is seeing as better than what exists for its remaining members will put the final nail in the coffin.

The UK is and was a hypocritical member seeking to get benefits for its businesses whilst, all too often, leaving its citizens out of the equation.

Brexit is inevitable. It is much too late to cancel Brexit.

The uncertainty about the future relationship is entirely due to the UK’s clueless incompetence and serial backtracking on previously agreed on things which PM May had SIGNED under.

The Brexit mess is 100% made in the UK.

At a time when and the desire to preserve access to EU capital for its banks, asset managers and insurers, many in the UK at least perceive the Commission’s proposed changes to strengthen rules around third country access as a direct attempt to ensure that the UK does not engage in a regulatory race to the bottom, once outside the EU.

THERE IS NO AGREEMENT TRADE OR OTHERWISE THAT A NEW PRIME MINISTER WILL NOT TRY TO CHANGE.Résultat de recherche d'images pour "PICTURES OF THE EU IN THE FUTURE"

It will fall to Mr. Juncker’s successor, from next summer, to lead Europe away from its real and present dangers Of falling into the nationalistic fairy traps.

The EU has for way too long been dominated by an international corporate capital much better at international cooperation than the civil society. In Brussels, the corporate business lobby is much better organized than small business, workers unions, and civil society movements.

HOWEVER, WE ARE STILL ON A LEARNING CURVE WITH THE EUROPEAN UNION.

In conclusion:

One of the greatest challenges to the EU is that it does not stand still for long, with social media and the advance of technology in order to stay standing it must involve its citizens with an equal share of its benefits both financial and otherwise.

To give Europeans a working interest in the Union here is a suggestion that could go a long way in achieving an active engagement of its citizens in its future development.

WHY NOT INTRODUCE A EUROPEAN TREASURY BOND.

EVERYONE CAN BE AFFORDED AN OPPORTUNITY TO INVEST IN ITS FUTURE.

20,000 new border guards to police the EU’s Mediterranean borders by 2020 is too late.

THE JURY IS STILL OUT ON THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE JCJ COMMISSION.

WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IN CLIMATE CHANGE OR NOT WORDS ARE NO LONGER A SOLUTION.

WORDS WITHOUT FUNDS HAS BEEN THE FAILING OF THE UNITED NATIONS.

To reverse climate change will take trillions on trillions of currency in non-repayable grants, not words.

PARIS PROMISES, CARBON CREDITS, WIND OR SOLAR FARMS, BANNING FOSSIL FUELS, CUTTING BACK ON CONSUMPTION, HAVING ONE CHILD INSTEAD OF TWO, ELECTRICAL CARS, OR CLOSING MAC DONALD’S TO REDUCE METHANE.

YOU NAME IT WILL HAVE LITTLE OR NO EFFECT.

WHAT IS NEEDED IS A PERPETUAL SELF FUNDING WORLD AID FUND.

THIS CAN BE ACHIEVED WITH A CLICK OF A TECHNOLOGICAL BUTTON APPLYING A WORLDWIDE 0.005% COMMISSION ON ALL HIGH-FREQUENCY TRADING, ON ALL SOVEREIGNTY WEALTH FUNDS ACQUISITIONS, ON ALL FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS OVER $50,000, ON ALL PROFIT SEEKING ALGORITHMS, ON ALL GAMBLING.

THIS BACKED UP BY A WORLD TAX BRAKE UNITED NATIONS TREASURY BOND THAT OFFERS TEN TO TWENTY YEARS REDUCTION ON CORPORATE TAXES. WILL PRODUCE A SELF PERPETUATING WORLD AID FUND OF TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS.

WITH SUCH A FUND NON REPAYABLE GRANTS CAN BE MADE TO PROMOTE GOOD CLIMATE PRACTICES LIKE SOLAR POWER, REFORESTATION, WATER PURIFICATION, CONSERVATION OF OUR ECOSYSTEMS ETC.

IN A WORLD DRIVEN BY PROFIT UNLESS THERE IS AN VISIBLE INDIVIDUAL REWARD JUST THINK HOW MANY PRIVATE DWELLING WORLDWIDE WOULD PUT SOLAR PANELS ON THEIR ROOFS IF IT WAS COST FREE.

WORDS WILL NOT STOP THE MAYHEM AS THE CLIMATE RESTRUCTURES THE WORLD ECONOMIES.  FORCED IMMIGRATION DUE TO LOSS OF HABITATION LACK OF WATER FOOD AND NON-POLLUTED AIR.

The problem is to get the world to act as one which it has never been able to achieve due to inequalities.
