We think and allocate so much time to our smartphones that we are losing the ability to be of any meaningful revlance in the real world or for that matter in the digital world.
We all becoming born of our engagements.
With new technologies we are no longer connected to each other but strangers.
The art of a hand shake, a smile, generosity have all but disappeared.
The greatest question is what to do next.
Do we ban mobile phones?
Do we pass laws in respect to transparency, accountability?
Do we have a stake in a global civilisation or not?
We beginning to see societies closing to these questions and as a result to each other.
Are we going to allow profit seeking algorithms destroy our world for short term gains?
No matter what Yuval Noah Harari says.
We live in perpetual choice between good and evil and there is only persuasion or cohesion to get people in the service of goals that are non negotiable like Climate change for example.
Unfortunately to represent the nature of the world we have to be in contact with reality.
We have to communicate good ideas like sustainability not consumption for short term profit or pleasure. Not populism Trump dribbling or Putin dictatorial monologue or Nato squeezing.
None of these can be replaced until Inequality has to come to end with a basic living wage.
There is no problem with enginutie that we cannot fix.
It’s our belief that dictates what we do next.
So it’s what we say when we listen that counts. How we understand is going to be crucial. There is only one direction worth persuading and that requires conversation not wars to have any hope of survival.
The sky is the limit as how good we can make human life worthwhile.
Is it not time we got our priorities right.
Your mind is all that you have. Don’t give it away to algorithms.
Train to understand it, use it before it becomes worthless.
The problem is that the intelligent people don’t want the non intelligent people to become intelligent.
The killer of meaning is amongst us uncontrollable, indiscriminate and unfocused it is twittering its way to dummying democracy.
After Trumps re election the biggest question ask by Americans on google was what is a tariff. After Brexit in the Uk it was what is the EU.
After Tripe you get more tripe with additional sauce in the form of social media.
These are serious problems. A lack of education/ knowledge/ understanding/leadership call it what you want, it is ignorance.
One could not be blamed for disparity when it comes to politics.
The truth is nature does not give a tinker’s nicker what we do or think.
It reacts without any artificial intelligence, beliefs, ideology, information, elections, wars, or human desires.
Ideology is a set of ideas.
Whether there are in capitalism or socialism with or without high demential thinking are worthless in the face of stopping natural disasters, as is disaster capitalism in resolving the not so distant problems climate change is going to plunge the planet into.
Climate drives everything. Not just the weather, but everything you see, hear, and think.
This is not an Elon Musk world.
We are on the verge of designing our selves till then all that exists on and in it, till the day that we in the form of some biological unification with AI stand on and make another planet our home.
We are already blurring the lines between natural selection and genetic variations with animals.

≈ Comments Off on THE BEADY EYE SAYS, MILITARY AI SHOULD BE A GLOBAL URGENT PRIORITY. RATHER THAN MIGRATING IT IS WITH THE CURRENT WARS SPIRALLING OUT OF CONTROL.
Vast numbers of AI with their development advancing to the point of no return are being deployed in the current wars with AI in control.
This military race to equip drones on swarm footing is going to cause a war.
Instead of wars conducting a wars it will be AI decided where it goes, who to targets and who to kill, a recipe for disasters.
If you give a self learning algorithm a target it will automatically complete its missions with a preemptive strike.
However just like acknowledging the reality of climate change the threat of a global war does not tell us what to do about it.
There are always options, unfortunately with a future developing subject to artificial intelligence, these options are dissipating at a faster rate than we can imagine.
There is no option when it comes to either the Climate or AI both must be brought under control.
Not tomorrow not in twenty years, it’s now or never.
Never is winning the race as the truth is being hidden or distorted. We can choose what we want but on the other hand we should not deny the true consequences and meaning of our choice.
Only the representative of the people should be able to declare wars.
You might think that people power is expressed in populism. Far from it. Populism strips democracy of any authority with AI self learning algorithms are doing the work as you read this.
It’s not the Putin’s the Donal Trump’s the Xi-Jin Ping’s or Kim Jong Un’s that will decided who win’s, it is the visual power of the truth that holds this power whether you like it or not.
One only has to look at the pathetic support the USA is giving Israel to relinquish all hope of a peaceful world.

≈ Comments Off on THE BEADY EYE SAYS. DEMOCRACY WITH ALGORITHMIC SOCIAL MEDIA INFORMATION FLOW IS GOING TO BE WHATEVER WE ARE GOING TO CALL IT. BUT NOT DEMOCRACY AS WE KNOW IT.
Within the technology world Information flows differently than in the real world.
The real world is subjective to outside forces that shape information.
The tech world which is being sculpted more and more by algorithms is moving information into a world of services to be payed for.
Filtered by algorithms to fit individual tastes and preferences, arriving at exponential speed it is no longer possible to determine whether it’s true or false.
This is why the like clicks with minimal thought process behind them, will become little more than rubber algorithms stamping with preordained results.
Up to now in a democracy any intervention in people’s lives required an explanation.
This explanation was achieved by non tampering, transparent accountability elections, allowing Joe soap to challenge and make their own choices.
This is why we have elections, freedom of speech and press and separation of government from judiciary.
This is why we must insure that all artificial intelligence conforms to human values and the sustainability of the planet we live on.
This is why as no human in its present organic form is going to leave this planet of ours there is no reason, no room or other motivation for a democracy worth thinking about to tackle the inequalities.
In the meantime let’s continue killing each other’s in the name of Nexus. We have a whole industry dedicated to hunting and fishing.
Why not an individual industry for dummy us all down so we can all afford to consume AL – Khwarizmi the father of Algebra and Algorithm.
Who gives a F… we all love a decoy.
Preparation and practice are the key to non-toxic ammo in meeting Nexus
The one thing about speaking the truth is you don’t have to remember what you have said.
The problem with information is do we with technology decentralised information is the opposite happing with algorithms data collection.
Will wars be declared by Algorithms?
Where does the right to life end?
Answer me that.

The right to life is the belief that a human(or other animal) has the right to live and, in particular, should not be killed by another entity. The concept of a right to life arises in debates on issues including: capital punishment, with some people seeing it as immoral; abortion, with some considering the killing of a human embryoor fetus immoral; euthanasia, in which the decision to end one’s life outside of natural means is seen as incorrect; meat production and consumption, in which the breeding and killing of animals for their meat is seen by some people as an infringement on their rights; and in killings by law enforcement, which are seen by some as an infringement on those persons’ right to live. However, individuals may disagree in which of these areas the principle of a right to life might.
As an independent institution the life mission of a parliamentarian within in government is to stay relevant within a parliament.
This is not the problem it is the first issue to solving the problems with democracy.
If we don’t wake up to what is happening with elections we will get nothing from democratic elected government.
It is time we all stand up together for equality, accountability, and transparency not wealth, and definitely not Democracy by self learning self correcting algorithms that have and are penetrated all of democracies institutions.
If we don’t take actions now it’s going to be a nightmare with parasitic profits seeking algorithms feeding on the bodies of our nations.
For an Algorithm to operate efficiently it must update its data /input constantly and have everything specify for its object.
If not it will make out of date decisions. Even if it is self learning or uses reinforcing learning, it will end up as a narrow Algorithm if it doesn’t have up to date data.
This is why it won’t be long before algorithms will be writing their own syntactic data and code, creating other algorithms, with tailored recommendations and content curation.
This is perhaps the main difference between democratic authoritarianism algorithms and self correcting elections.
( Both are run by wealth, rather than any real choice that is free of contamination by either data or money)
This is why governments are incapable of achieve anything the electorate wants – ie reducing inequalities -climate change- wars – cheap housing etc,
Why?
Because only 2% of the population is represented in elections, which are decided and rigged by wealth, not wisdom, selecting the candidates for elections in the first place in safe seats constitutional voting.
Our problem in solving problems is that our only guidance is the past.
——————
The past shows that with each and every invention of technology inequality increases.
Except perhaps the smartphone which changed a great deal of what was wrong within the free marketplace- ie curbing corruption.
Unfortunately all of these profits seeking algorithms are and will continue to widen the inequality gaps.
In fact inequality is at its greatest since World War Two because the free market is no longer free but governable by algorithms trading.
Everything you see and do on the Web is a product of Algorithms exploiting data that we feed them for free.
Perpetuating social bias, optimising everything, putting control into the hands of a few, to predict market movements, portfolios performance, credit risk etc.
AI is naught but algorithms but as to how or whom should own/ control these algorithms is very much a pending question.
If that data is slightly changed the results could be small or catastrophic.
Luckily to days AI ( even with all the hype surrounded its future ) can’t actually think for itself.
We don’t have and are very unlikely to have in the short term to have anything like that.
However as with most things that threaten us we are in a caught up situation.
It is too late to close the gate on AI as the world would not be able to function. This of course is an absolute lie.
We must preserve our innate cognitive abilities by critically assess the role of technology in our lives.
What would happen if the technology world collapsed?
Would we be back to square one?
Yes.
Our vote had no relationship with the candidates standing for election they are selected by money donors.
Yes– the roads would turn into chaotic parking lots .
Yes – our hospital without AI powered tools, would collapse.
Yes – the economy would tank.
Yes – If it existed there would be long queues at the gates of heaven.
Yes – there would be a world war.
Yes – no one would remember the internet.
Yes – religiousindoctrination would increase.
Yes – we would release that we were too reliant on outsourcing our brains to machines.
Yes- Not even would AI be relevant.

With the second largest harbour in the world New Zealand is a colonial country with a Maori identity which is its unique point of difference in the world.
Plague by its past history it is now struggling to accommodate a cultural diversity.
JThis identity is reflected both in a language called Te Roa Māori ( The language that gives the exotic names not just to physical rivers mountains which did not arrive yesterday but to the whole country heritage.] along with a muffled pioneering English the is plagued with the word like.
Without its Māori heritage to the world the country would be just be a natural backwater of physical beauty that plays sports.
As with most colonies countries-their historically background are only coming to the forefront within the last few decades.
For the country to move forward as one nation white New Zealand needs to learn its true history, which is very unlikely.
At present there is a farcical demand for an independent Maori government.
Just imagine trying to marry two governments to run a country full of Cantonese immigrants.
In 1989 the government allocated $20 million to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the signing of the treaty of Waitangi. On the day of its anniversary in 2010 the Māori Flag for the first time flew over the Aukland Harbour.
Before New Zealanders fought for the British Empire in overseas wars they like the Irish fought against it on their own soil.
A lot of New Zealanders seem to think that modern day New Zealand came from a Treaty but the Waikato war in particular the siege on Orakau Pareto where Rewi Maniapoto made his last stand is a historical and spiritual significance to Maori who were the major inhabitants of the time.
The country is littered with Maori Art all of which is capitalised on by the tourists industry.
Below is a photo of a Pou Whenua.
It represents traditional knowledge and navigational tools Māori have held for centuries.
At the turnoff to Arowhenus Pa at Temuka stands a limestone archway, built in 1934
The Arowhenua Kamala to commemorate three significant strands of identity for the Waitaha-Kati Huirapa hapu of Arowhenua.
It honours the memory of a rangatira Te Hipa Te Maiharoa who passed away in 1855, the transformative leader Tahupotiki Witemu Ratana, of the Ratana Church, as well as 12 Maori soldiers of Te Wai Pounamu who fell on the Great War.
This is it.
The difference is that Te Ureweta is tied to Maori identity.
It takes one generation to get rid of a language and more than three to reinstate it.
Here is a He Mihi.
Kia hipokina ano e to korowai te taone but.
Grab the city with your verdant cloak.
Kia whiwhi ko matos
That we, your heirs might benefit
Kia whiwhi te ao katoa
And so too, the whole world.
Mastering the art of interpretation in Māori is almost impossible.
For example translating Toi Tu Toi Ora:
Toi means knowledge, skill, excellence, source, origin, or mastery.
Ora to be alive, well and safe.
Mauri Ora means, that our life essence and our Wairua( Culture connectors, like Whatapapa (genealogy) atue ( ancestors) Karakia (prayer) and tikanha ( custom)
Wairua – living soul.
All come into play.
Try these words
Pouwhenua: Long- handled pointed weapon.
Tewhatewha; Long – handled fighting club.
It’s almost pathetic to think that like most indigenous peoples Maori have been reduced to second class citizens.
When the sun shines on this country there are no words to describe its physical beauty, other than you have died and gone to heaven.
Don’t wait till you are too old.
This is a young man or woman’s country requiring strong lungs and limbs and the ability to swim, climb, fly.

You often wonder how a country can slide down hill.
I put a lot of countries problems down to the Rip off factor.
You could say that life itself is a rip off from its start to the end.
However each and ever country has its own matrix when it comes to rip off.
Some start before you set foot on the countries soil with visas fees.
No matter the price of a cup of coffee usually is a good barometer to judge by.
Within our capitalism system is becoming more and more prevalent, unaccountable Algorithmic profiteering is going to rip us off on a grand scale. Before they do here is a classic one we just experienced at the hands of a New Zealand cowboy called Gibbons Electrical.
Unfortunately while staying in a wonderful rural property a jar of marmite fell from a shelf overlooking-a glass cooking top, splintering its glass edge.
Natural it had to be replaced.
After hunting around the price of a replacement from new to second hand one varied between over 1000NZ$ new and 200 $ NZ. used.
We eventually on trade it we secured a second hand ( exact model replacement @ 150$ plus a round trip of 200 kilometres to collect it).
This replacement had to install by an electrician that could supply the property owner with a safety certificate, for insurance purposes.
So far Reasonable
With ten minutes labour, this cowboy installed it, presenting an invoice in the grand sum of 168€ for the trouble of do so.
Unplugged and re plugging came to 167$.
The majority of the cost over 100 € was the disposing of the old top, which we could have put in the car and driven it two minutes to a skip or ten minutes to the recycling depot cost free.
On pointing this out to the cowboy he stuck to his guns, because he has the owners of the property over a barrel and us as visitors.
(The owners of the house are totally screwed he being apparently the only electrician with in miles and they of course do not want to put his nose out of joint.)
So as not to upset the apple tart we cough up the 167nz$ which borders on unadulterated blatant robbery.
As there is no stigma attached you could say that it’s just sour grapes on our part being caught with our trousers down.
It is an example of what is wrong with the world we live in today.
If we do not stand up to being rip off we will be condoning a society where hidden algorithms will not just rip us off constantly but be excepted as the norm.

This is and has always been a fantasy, even with Artificial Intelligence it will remain so.
Why?
Because truth is always believed by fallible humans and Ai no matter what form it takes will never be sentient to become infallible. The world will be gone apeshit long before that will happen.
However caution had been throw to the wind when it comes to AI. All that is now need is infinite more computing power and infinite more data and hold and below we have a self learning Algorithm that will be Pope.
This is where we become unhinged.
As we are all taking the AI advancements for granted why not take this fantastic fantasise at face value.
Because when a rapid downfall in the use of Artificial Intelligence starts to bit the profit of profit seeking algorithms, governments and us will begin to see the environmental disaster ( that predictive algorithms economic manipulation is doing for short term gain)
Nothing grows exponentially for ever.
The planet cannot be paved with datacenter.
Is the Pope a Catholic.
It’s now or never we take back control and stuff all unsustainable Ai back in its box.
Before we are ruled by megalomaniacs that are unaccountable to any democratic transparency other than wealth.

This question is going to have a profound effect on all of us.
Donal has indicated that he is not interested in CLIMATE CHANGE, NATO and the EU.
However in relation to all that is happening in the world he is a pivotal figure whether we like it or not whether he is mentioned or not in dispatches.
It’s American first.
We are now once again the most powerful in the world.
Whether you like it or not he says nasty things, turn USA foreign policy in treats .
Politically his election for a second term is nationalistic in the extreme.
A man against basic human rights. He wants to round up 11 million illegal immigrants and put them into camps to be deported. Rwanda is going to become over crowded.
He is going to increase the cost of living by 5% with tariffs.
There is no doubt that countries are going to have to increase defence spending.
It is pathetic that we live in a world that spends more on arms to kill each other than on getting to know each other.
The West Bank in Gaza can kiss itself goodbye along with any two state solution to the conflict.
The UKRAINE can also kiss the loss of substantial territories, and god forbid welcome in return a civil war that will eventually put Russia in total control and face on to NATO.
The expansion of NATO is the real reason that Putin invaded the Ukraine.
This is going to be a grumpy four years with Trump promises in charge of Elon Musk nightmares.
A tweet here and a tweet there could change history.
The worst thing that might happen is that he like many a president before him claims Irish heritage when in fact he is of German and Scottish blood.
