≈ Comments Off on THE BEADY EYE SAYS: WE HUMANS HAVE TRIED MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO LIVE TOGETHER /BUILD SOCIETIES WITHOUT SACRIFICING OUR INDIVIDUAL IDENTITIES.
With many names from the bottom of the globe to the top, it has cost billions of lives and trillions of dollars, with each and every advancement predicted to cause an apocalypse end to us all.
To days artificial advancements how ever are different from previous human interventions. All previous inventions required humans in the loop. Artificial intelligence will not.
Therefore the compatibility of democracy with technological advancement is paramount to our very survival, not to mention democracy itself.
This time we got to get it right as there will not be a next time.
However given our inability to recognise our errors ( if we are to be successful with AI ) we need to install self correcting mechanisms that can id and correct mistakes as Ai becomes part of being human.
This time we will need a written constitution to protect the values that are common to all organisms that are organic
That requires a fundamental change in our thinking, ambitions, and our awareness to what makes life possible and worth living.
It’s not living life through the lens of a smartphone.
Not living life through pretend reality with in the metaverse, pandering to wealthy elites, platforms.
It’s not living life through our photos stored in the cloud.
It’s not social media which is desensitising us to world problems.
If artificial intelligence micromanages everything I do and think that will give it totalitarianism control over society.
Is that what we want?
Technology is rarely deterministic. As a as a binary all are nothing choice.
Having access to our personal life comes with a fiduciary duty to act in our best interests. This an ancient principle must be incorporated by law into all algorithms and applied to all platforms .
All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
As we dissociate ourselves from our organic evolution, with the arrival of self learning technologies, languages will no longer be necessary.
We will no longer be bewildered by our own existence and illusions of reality.
Emotionally bound by reasons, of a better past gone bye and a better future, to come , we feel helpless in the present ( not to use the word Artificial present)
We cannot even for a moment stop its movement to direct it more intelligently.
The social political events of our day amplified the requirement of some things beyond our psychological state to explain not where we going but how we get there.
We have up to now lived beyond the rational values that we now must all protect. We might no longer have to accept life pain but to have a life we must live.

≈ Comments Off on THE BEADY EYE SAYS A WORLD WHERE TECH GAINS ACT AS GATEKEEPER OF THE TRUTH. IS A WORLD WHERE DISSENT IS STIFLED, INNOVATION IS CURBED AND TRUST IN DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS ERODES FURTHER.
The fight against AI is just beginning between free speech and on line/ social media misinformation.
We living in a time of Technology bias, a culture moment with no centralised control over the truth.
Our education institutions are a long way behind the technology curve.
Equipping people to recognise and reject false news and how to find the truth is now the only way forwards in order to combat misinformation without stifling legitimate expression.
The fight for free speech and the truth cannot be left to corporations.
It’s up to us to shape the area where open debate thrives. Not the Mark Zuckerberg, the Elon Musk or some algorithm.
We must ensure that we have the power to engage critically with information so it rises and falls on it own merits not on the judgment of some fact- checkers.
Once more the Beady Eye says it’s time to wake up, and to realise that the very things that make us humans is undoubtedly under attack.

What was supposed to connect all of us is in fact doing the opposite.
Not only is it getting worse in every conceivable way, in recent times it’s is spreading false news, misinformation, housing extremism views, reinforcement of culture view, and worse of all enabling the birth of the influencer.
On top of all of this behind each platform there are profit seeking algorithms that are ramming down your throat mathematically what they have been paid to do.
This is on the good platform.
If you’re on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram you’re not only getting desensitised to world problems, but swamp by bad-faith politicians views.
Instagram I will remind you is primarily about social photo-sharing.
Its vision is to do away with the pesky human and have all of us following the AI -generated slop created by its AI generated profiles
Tic Toc: Sharing Videos
Snap Chat : Sharing videos that disappear
Meta : Selfishness.
Just how fake anything improves a platform is a question to be answered.
Hypocritical at least, these platforms are supposed to bring people together.
The answer is they don’t.
What we looking at are a collection of code, data and clever deception- fictional persona, created to manipulate emotional connection and trust which is going to result in your face being used to advertise something to you.
Ai described us as users.
So let’s start using it, not the other way around.
Ai is all ready using synthetic data to train itself.
All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
Artificial Intelligence’s is becoming more and more powerful every minute of the day.
This is a fact that is self evident with Ai in the headline every day but in the back ground it is becoming,
More prevalent, more beyond understanding, more non predictable, more in the hands of the few, more sophisticated, more weaponising,more applied to decision making, more intelligent, more user friendly, more independent, more indestructible, more indistinguishable, more indispensable, more addictive, more functional, more efficient, more outside regulations/ laws, mores aware of its self awareness, more dangerous, more complex, more disruptive, more creepy more invasive, more intrusive, more untrustworthy, more imbedded, more algorithmic, more driven by the laws of the jungle, more deep state surveillance, more institutional erosion, more intrusive, more energy dependence , more systematic.
Less logic, less starting points, less checks and balances, less democracy, less awareness, less accountability, less transparency, less responsibility, less imagination, less human control, less environmental responsibility, less sensitivity, less human input.
I don’t know what is going to happen in five years, ten years never mind in fifty years. No body really does. But there are some things that are going to be really nasty as AI is a non conscious entity that has no beliefs in any thing other than what it is targeting.
Ai does not exist in a vacuum. It is part of society and has an impact not just on us but the planet we realistically rely on to survive.
It can discriminate against entire communities. It can distort climate data.
The cloud that Ai is made out of is vast amounts of energy, finite resources of materials, and data.
Just training it uses as much energy as a small village would use in a whole year.
Admitted CO 2 into the atmosphere with the environmental costs piling up.
Can you see the bright future ahead for your life.
No!
You could be right because if a lot of computers start connecting and communicating with each other they will create their own reality separate from humans.
Ask Ai has it been training on your life and see what happens.

When technology advances every breath of living a life seems to becoming more and more complicated.
It’s not that algorithms are going to replace religious beliefs, it is their alignment to human values that is the problem.
You can see this with the ever increasing use of autonomous weapons.
The uncomfortable truth is, we are living in an age where we are just on the fringes of biological life and Artificial life combining.
When this happens, we will be crossing the evolutionary bridge in to something that ceases to be fully human, therefore any religiosity and self-worth will become an illusion. However we are the most, the most complicated of all living things, so it’s important to avoid a deterministic view of life.
It is also imported not to fall into the temptation of explaining the whole of social and political life in environmental terms, or indeed in technology terms.
But in the terms of inequalities.
Why?
In the world they apply no matter what one believe in, or what life one lives.
Unfortunately these inequalities now cannot be addressed without AI because it has hack the way humans live.

Many economists are trapped in an 18th-19th-century conception of growth, at whatever the cost, unable to see that some technologies are indeed hurting the planet.
Speed is one of these concepts effecting stock exchanges around the world.
AI developing without regulations it is perhaps one of the greatest problem the world is facing.
We can change the direction of technological progress if we want.
This is a race we cannot afford to lose as the whole world’s natural environment is now under threat from too much technology. In fact the constraints on growth don’t longer come from the fact that we live on a finite planet.
With algorithms making decisions as to what advertising matches our social media activities or viewing, advertising is polluting our daily lives, So all life including death [which is already a multi billion dollar industry ] will become a digitalisation category of faith affected by AI.
The days of living for a pay check are numbered.
The days of living with Gods are also numbered.
Our antiquated intellectual property regimes need to be reformed because in our time, ideas are going to come from AI.
Once again as humans we are wired to becoming the illusion of a facelessness societies.
The conversion of wealth into status will be all that counts.
The only things in life of real value and meaning will be achievable without conditions, without transactions.

Social media is changing the way we think.
New religious movement have often appeared in times of great social change.
With the ever ending secularisation of the world, giving way to more rational ways of explaining the world it is inevitable that new religious beliefs will emerge and there will be quite a choose to pick from.
Hopefully this time around no one will be more righteous than the other.
There will be no mass religious conversion but a digital dignity of belief/ belonging.
You can already wittiness this in many locations around the world, with local activities of a spiritual or religious nature are practiced all over the world. For example Q Drops.

The very cosmology a people hold is often quite unintelligent with out an understanding of attitudes to the environment.
Damage caused by environmental phenomena is something that appears on our televisions.
Problems arise in thinking about the environment because of incompatible views. We have adopted some originally directional words to take on meanings now quite inappropriate in orientation.
The final religion:
It is almost impossible to imagine life without Google, email, or cell phones.
AI will created new relationships/ religions with rewards other than money or heaven creating bot cults.
There is nothing artificial about Artificial Intelligence it’s Alien.
There is no point talking to a AI bot.
It is totally useless to try and change a bot’s view whether it be on politics, religions or otherwise.
Our cultures therefore will start changing to enable intelligent interaction on an intimate basis with AI, altering the way we perceive the world
Wealth is becoming extremely concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer and because there are huge events coming our way, wars will be the only equaliser.
Luckily the world does not run on information it runs on feelings.
