≈ 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 .

≈ 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.

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.

It’s an intelligent totally different from human intelligence and as such should not be compared to evolutionarily human advancement.
An algorithmic bot is not a robot it’s a digital code of instructions to follow to achieve a specific target.
Ai is a net work of algorithms on a platform.
Quantum chips will take computing to the next level of artificial intelligence’s, with quantum information that only the computer will understand.
We all know that if our kids are constantly looking at computers I pads laptops and mobile devices we’re heading for a generation of fat kids with huge backsides.
Already we have over 208million Americans classified as obese.
Just imagine.
If it took millions of years for us to evolve but Robots without outside help will evolve at speeds not yet seen.
We are getting close to a world under constant surveillance thanks to the very thing I am using this very second – A Mobil phone.
It’s now impossible to live without constant contact with a computer, that is feeding of your personal and non personal data.
The ability of algorithms to analyse all this information is really beyond our comprehension.
The ability to make decisions must be within our capabilities, not with algorithms.
If we to have lives worth living, all technological advancement must be subjected to upholding human values.
This can only be achieved if we humans pass laws to regulate all social media platforms.
They all must be able to verify their content as genuine fact, not computer generated tripe.
Human if you have not noticed are inextricably connected to the earth not artificial intelligence.
It’s time to shift to a war time mindset when it comes to profit seeking algorithms and computers decide our lives.
Our smartphone accomplish the job 24/7
It’s simple unacceptable that they suck the life out of living for profit, while remaining un- transparent, un- unconscious, unethical, untrustworthy, untrainable.
The grow apathy about Ai, the state of the world drags on. It’s now or never or tomorrow will not arrive.
There is no deal to be had with Ai.
All human comments appreciated. All-like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
It’s not the Iron Curtain nor will it be the coming Trump dump that we should be worried about.
In the not so distant future it’s the Silicone Curtain that is potentially far more dangerous than climate change or nuclear war.
Why?
Because unlike Climate Change and a Nuclear war there’s no reverting Artificial Intelligence which we continue to confuse with human intelligence when in fact the two are totally different.
The day is fast approaching when we will be asking our personal oracle what to do, buy. With algorithms or not will they be ruling our lives, but how soon.
Computers are already running the Financial world.
It won’t be long before we are all subjected to an alien self learning intelligence (own ed by and control by god only knows who ) generating its own systems, feeding on synthetic data, from a metaphysical world.
We’re already relying on AI outside of our control taking initiative’s in shaping our societies, our history, our cultures.
Facebook alone has caused real problems.
Fanning the flames of splits with fake news between and in societies that are struggling to eradicate racism, ethnic tensions, inequality etc.
International institutions are being undermine by social media platforms giving rise to populist rhetoric and political instability.
We now have wars run by drones, and full scale ethnic cleansing, not just in the world of  illusion’s but in reality.
The thing to understand here is that algorithms are different when it comes to spreading news on social media as they are deciding what you see or hear. These algorithms are non transparent or accountably like the printed press or TV.
However they are supposed to be in the control of what ever platform use them. They are deciding what or what not to allowed on to the platform.
Therefore the algorithm is orientation is to attract more users to enhance its advertising revenues.
For me the responsibility lies with the engineering of the App ie the Code makers who should be held responsible under law for not modifying or changing the Apps capabilities.
The problem however is that they (the algorithm are self learning), like murder must be proven to be premeditated to guarantee for the death penalty.
Of course with our laws this is an impossibility.
Algorithms just like us can make decisions and decide actions on their own.
So should we give them legal status like companies, or other entities so they can be held accountable?
Yes!
The sooner the better before they split the world and all of us that live on it.
———————
We are already forced to grapple with some very deep issues/questions.
Religion have for centuries claimed non human sources for their holy books.
Artificial intelligence is capable of rewriting these books and creating new religions. In fact Ai will consume- all human creations as data and start to regurgitate new culture artefacts.
The next war will not be over how controls the air, the freshwater, the nuclear button or religious belief or even the arrival of Artificial Intelligence’s.
It will be the split between the technological world and not so advanced technology world.
We are at this moment inventing a sentient killing machine which will be impossible to find, alter or terminate. That will be able to totally mummify us all at will.
It’s now or never before history no longer has the connection of biological and cultural mix that we must interrogate algorithms to see that they have human values at their core.
All human comments appreciated. All like click and abuse chucked in the bin.
Maybe not in organic life form but in the metaverse it will be possible to have an exact digital replica of oneself (in any colour you like.)
Augmented entity is around the corner.
Unfortunately if you have allowed algorithms to harvest all of your data you will have to pay to get it back.
Perhaps you will be able to order a sin free version of you from the Pope app or the Allie be praised app.
Both coming with a loyalty card to feed back your knowledge base even though you no longer exist in this world,
You will be able to ask the digital representation of your love one ‘s questions, and use them as depositors.
Now you might think this to be too far fetched to be true.
But let me tell you with no rules of nature applying need to be examining what will be the contract of this data be.
Because the patterns of our lives are dissolving into the cloud, not as written history, but as retrievable click.
Create a new me or someone else?
Who will have access to it?
Who are we?
With self learning AI critical thinking is no longer needed.
Machine are going to be more intelligent than us and no one knows what is going to happen when this occurs, which will be in the next ten years. ( They are already making decisions)
There is a moment of truth coming that will decide whether we run machine or they will run us.
Slop is a perfect word for the encapsulation of a decades of artificial intelligence-generated oddball social media images like “Shrimp Jesus.
Which way all of this Ai is going to go no one knows.
If the machine is super powerful intelligent it will pick pro life because unlike us with limited intelligence the machine will see that all intelligent requires life.
To achieve this we must teach the machines the right values now, not when the gate had been closed. Immortal in any universe must have a value.

≈ 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.
How many times have you heard someone say “There’s an app for that.”
Every time you pick up your smartphone, you’re summoning algorithms.
They have become a core part of modern society.
They’re used in all kinds of processes, on and offline, from helping value your home to teaching your robot vacuum to steer clear of your dog’s poop. They’ve increasingly been entrusted with life-altering decisions, such as helping decide who to arrest, who to elect amd who should be released from jail, and who’s is approved for a home loan.
Recent years have seen a spate of innovations in algorithmic processing, from the arrival of powerful language models like GPT-3, to the proliferation of facial recognition technology in commercial and consumer apps. At their heart, they work out what you’re interested in and then give you more of it – using as many data points as they can get their hands on, and they aren’t just on our phones:
At this point, they are responsible for making decisions about pretty much every aspect of our lives.
The consequences can be disastrous and will be, because with AI they are creating themselves. It’s not that the worker gets replaced by just a robot or a machine, but to somebody else who knows how to use AI.
While we can interrogate our own decisions, those made by machines have become increasingly enigmatic.
They can amplify harmful biases that lead to discriminatory decisions or unfair outcomes that reinforce inequalities. They can be used to mislead consumers and distort competition. Further, the opaque and complex nature by which they collect and process large volumes of personal data can put people’s privacy rights in jeopardy.
Currently there are little or norules/Laws for how companies can or can’t use algorithms in general, or those that harness AI in particular.
Adaptive algorithms have been linked to terrorist attacks and beneficial social movements.
So it’s not to far fetched to say: That personalised AI is driving people toward self-reinforcing echo chambers of extremism, or to advocate that it is possible that someone could ask AI to create a virus, or an alternative to money.
Where is this all going to end up?
A conscious robot faking emotions – like Sorrow – Joy – Sadness – Pain- and the rest, that wants to bond with you.
———————————
It all depends on what you think consciousness is.
Yes a robot could be a thousand time more intelligent than a human, with the question becoming in essence, does any kind of subjective experiences become a consciousness experience. If so the subjective feeling of consciousness is an illusion created by brain processes, that a machine replicates and such a process would be conscious in the way that we are.
At the moment machines with minds are mainstays of science fiction.
Indeed, the concept of a machine with a subjective experience of the world and a first-person view of itself goes against the grain of mainstream AI research. It collides with questions about the nature of consciousness and self—things we still don’t entirely understand.
Even imagining such a machine’s existence raises serious ethical questions that we may never be able to answer. What rights would such a being have, and how might we safeguard them?
It is a machine that thinks and believes it has consciousness how we would know if one were conscious.
Perhaps you can understand, in principle, how the machine is processing information and there are who are confirmable with that. However an important feature of a learning machine is that its teacher will often be very largely ignorant of quite what is going on inside and has no way of knowing if conscious exists.
And yet, while conscious machines may still be mythical, their very possibility shapes how we think about the machines we are building today.
Can machines think?
——————-
They’re used for everything from recognizing your voice face listening to your heart, arranging your life.
All kinds of things can be algorithms, and they’re not confined to computers with the impact of potential new legislation to limit the influence of algorithms on our lives remaining unclear.
There’s often little more than a basic explanation from tech companies on how their algorithmic systems work and what they’re used for. Take Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, has come under scrutiny for tweaking its algorithms in a way that helped incentivize more negative content on the world’s largest social network.
Laws for algorithmic transparency are necessary before specific usages and applications of AI can be regulated. When it comes to addressing these risks, regulators have a variety of options available, such as producing instructive guidance, undertaking enforcement activity and, where necessary, issuing financial penalties for unlawful conduct and mandating new practices.
We need to force large Internet companies such as Google, Meta, TikTok and others to “give users the option to engage with a platform without being manipulated by algorithms driven by user-specific data in order to shape and manipulate users’ experiences — and give consumers the choice to flip it on or off.
It will inevitably affect others such as Spotify and Netflix that depend deeply on algorithmically-driven curation.
We live in an unfair world, so any model you make is going to be unfair in one way or another.
For example, there have been concerns about whether the data going into facial-recognition technology can make the algorithm racist, not to mention what makes military drones to kill.
—————
Going forward there are a number of potential areas we could focus on, and, of these, transparency and fairness have been shown to be particularly significant.
Artificial Intelligence as a Driving Force for the Economy and Society and Wars.
In some cases this lack of transparency may make it more difficult for people to exercise their rights – including those under the GDPR. It may also mean algorithmic systems face insufficient scrutiny in some areas (for example from the public, the media and researchers).
While legislators scratch their heads over-regulating it,the speed at which artificial intelligence (AI) evolves and integrates into our lives is only going to increase in 2024. Legislators have never been great at keeping pace with technology, but the obviously game-changing nature of AI is starting to make them sit up and take note.
The next generation of generative AI tools will go far beyond the chatbots and image generators becoming more powerful. We will start to see them embedded into creative platforms and productivity tools, such as generative design tools and voice synthesizers.
Being able to tell the difference between the real and the computer-generated will become an increasingly valuable tool in the critical skills toolbox!
AI ethicists will be increasingly in demand as businesses seem to demonstrate that they are adhering to ethical standards and deploying appropriate safeguards.
95 percent of customer service leaders expect their customers will be served by AI bots at some point in the next three years. Doctors will use it to assist them in writing up patient notes or medical images. Coders will use it to speed up writing software and to test and debug their output.
40% of employment globally is exposed to AI, which rises to 60% in advanced economies.
An example is Adobe’s integration of generative AI into its Firefly design tools, trained entirely on proprietary data, to alleviate fears that copyright and ownership could be a problem in the future.
Quantum computing – capable of massively speeding up certain calculation-heavy compute workloads – is increasingly being found to have applications in AI.
AI can solve really hard, aspirational problems, that people maybe are not capable of solving” such as health, agriculture and climate change,
We need to bridge the gap between AI’s potential and its practical application and whether technology would affect what it means to be human.
They are already creating a two tier world, of the have and have not, driving inequality to a deep human value of authenticity and presence.
Will new technologies lead us, or are they already leading us and our children to confuse virtual communities and human connection for the real thing?
Generative AI presents a future where creativity and technology are more closely linked than ever before. If they do, then we may lose something precious about what it means to be human.
How can we ensure equal access to the technology?
If we look to A.I. as a happiness provider, we will only create a greater imbalance than we already have.
If AI Algorithms run the world there will be no time off.
Humans are now hackable animals, so AI might save us from ourselves.
AI will become the only thing that understands these embedded systems is scary.
General AI may completely up-end even the contemplation of reason. Not only will “resistance be futile”, it could become inconceivable for a dumbfounded majority.
One thing is certain, in about a hundred years we will have an idea of what makes us different and more intelligent than computers, but dont worry, AI has the potential to change education and the way we learn.
