≈ Comments Off on THE BEADY EYE SAYS OUR CURRENT SYSTEMS ARE UNSUSTAINABLE. WE ARE All LIVING A LIE IN A WORLD DRIVEN BY SOCIETIES OVER WHICH WE HAVE LITTLE OR NO CONTROL.
In a world driven by money one only has to wake up in the morning to know that the above is the only truth worth taking any notice of.
It is impossible to extricate oneself from the web of labour, production, consumption that underpins modern capitalism.
Because the free market and capitalism are not synonymous.
Existing capitalist economies are hybrid systems, based on a careful balance between markets and planning.
We don’t see the whole picture when it comes to the problems we are facing, and more than likely will never do so.
The earth is not here to supply an economy it should be the other way around.
After thousands and thousands of years we are now moving into an era of technological that requires unlimited amounts of power and water.
Unfortunately:
We don’t have the right perspectives when it comes to life so we’re not ably to address the reality of the position that the world is in.
There is no such thing as them. AI or not there is only us.
Us. Yes us, who must wake up to the fact that we are destroying ourselves for the sake of an economy that is dissolving right in front of us.
For profits that in the end will be worthless.
We most come to appreciate the interlaying structure of all that exists and will exist on the planet are not attached to monetary gain.
Not to religious beliefs, but with the environment, with the knowledge of what happens to anyone of us affects all of us.
We all connect whether we like it or not.
We’re not from Earth we on Earth.
Once this is understood, the perception and perspective of the problems can be tackled by AI. Not by profit seeking algorithms but by certified human value Ai.
Certainly not by data colonisation platforms.
Our global yearning for hope and empathy is perhaps more needed now than ever before in our lifetime.
Just how brittle how fragile the earth is remains unclear.
Unfortunately developers of Ai are only concerned with making billions not with introducing regulations to manage the explosive potential of Ai.
To change the way the capitalist systems work requires a Basic Living Wage, with all future jobs governed by sustainable, rather than profit.
If everyone one has equal opportunity irrespective of colour creed or sex than we might have a peaceful world.
In this new world of technology surveillance, human development and earth protection are one and the same.
No one is coming to save us only when money becomes secondary to our needs are we going to be able to change our out of date systems.
All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
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.
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.
All human comments appreciated. All like clicks chuck in the bin.
Contact: bobdillon33@gmail.com
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.
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.

Man is said to have evolved from monkeys and apes …but we still have monkeys and apes.
We live in a world of verball diarrhoea, another words every Joe saop has an opinion.
However the world today is being expressed as a single unified, interconnected and interdependent global system, and since we wish to remain as our individualistic egoistic selves while the world becomes more and more connected, we experience such tightening connection as suffering.
Characterized by intricate interconnections, rapid advancements in technology, globalization, diverse geopolitical challenges, and a multitude of social, economic, and environmental issues.
Since everyone understands the world from his/her own perspective which may be different from others due to religions beliefs we cannot understand what wholeness is.
Our world is beautiful but screwed.
71% water, average 93,000,000 miles away from a white star, around which it completes an elliptical orbit every 365.25 days with a dominant species are Homo Sapiens, which can live anywhere. It has one large satellite measuring 2,159 miles in diameter which is some 239,000 miles distant and is tidally locked.
—————–
With it’s current greedy drive for more – more this, more that, more me, me, me. causing greater and greater stress to the planet, earth is experiencing its hottest year on record and massive floods, fires and other climate-related disasters have taken root.
And lack of action on climate change threatens billions of lives and livelihoods.
Most of us know this but we don’t know when something amazing or horrible will happen next and it could be the greatest or worst thing for this world.
Like the opening of a massive technological gap between the global rich and the poor.
As our World becomes more disaster prone due to the extreme changes to our Climate, these vestibules of self-interest will be dumped for hardline practical leaders who will do whatever is necessary for the survival of mankind.
In the mean time all we do is fight over utterly meaningless bullshit.
———————————–
We carry affordable supercomputers in our pockets, and that is even more powerful than it sounds.
It has created multiple civilizations, none of which has been able to achieve a satisfactory minimum level of quality of life; the poorest people still live in inhumane conditions; the very few richest people own more than the all of the rest put together.
Most markets are moving online, moving from the physical world into the digital app world, until they’ll be purged there too by oligarchies; which will be the next medium?
Right wing politics and populism continue to gain ground through advocating individual freedom to prosper, while left wing politics is failing to establish and administer a necessary minimum of social equality and governmental regulation, which continues to propagate financial deregulation aka greed is good which in turn prevents a normal fluctuation of economy turning it into steep growth and catastrophic chain reaction crashes.
The extreme conservatism of certain societies founded on medieval concepts and flawed morals coupled with perpetual poverty and social stagnation certainly help maintaining inequality in the world.
Alternatively, we may destroy ourselves in the midst of our seemingly endless growth, and nature will resume its course over the centuries and millenia to come.
How can anyone with an active mind, who is aware of all this, neatly summarize his or her POV “of the world today” with A SINGLE WORD???????
Pretty nonsensical, if you take a couple of minutes to think about it.
The chances of wholeness happening now are roughly zero.
Why?
Because politicians who were starved of intelligent thinking and ARE BEING ELECTED INTO OFFICE BY DIGITLIZED CITIZENS RUN BY PROFIT SEEKING ALGORITHMS.
Recent advances in artificial intelligence raise a variety of questions about how to control a technology that could improve or threaten civilization in countless ways.
The Doomsday Clock that has been ticking for 77 years. The clock isn’t designed to definitively measure existential threats, but rather to spark conversations about difficult scientific topics such as climate change. Trends continue to point ominously towards global catastrophe.
Due to ongoing concerns about the war in Ukraine, the Israel-Gaza conflict, the potential of a nuclear arms race, and the climate crisis, its almost impossible to get people’s attention about existential threats and the required action.
We can reduce them but doing so is not easy, nor has it ever been. It requires serious work and global engagement at all levels of society.
The war in Ukraine poses an ever-present risk of nuclear escalation. And the October 7 attack in Israel and war in Gaza provides further illustration of the horrors of modern war, even without nuclear escalation.
A more realistic endpoint to both wars would be a military ceasefire, in which increasingly exhausted combatants see frontline positions harden around a line of control. That will become clearer by the summer or autumn, and will at some point prompt a question for its western backers: how long should the west continue supplying military aid at current levels to Ukraine/Israel
This requires a collective even harder stance.
A political earthquake. That’s the metaphor that stuck.
——————–
What if science itself is in some way culpable for all this?
We don’t know the real answer yet, and we probably will never know, but this is the moment to anticipate what such a finding might ultimately mean. It could obliterate the faith of millions.
This may be the great scientific meta-experiment of the 21st century. That the common people of the world have been forced into a real-life lab experiment, at tremendous cost — there is a moral earthquake on the way.
All of these disasters brought to you by the total, self-assured unanimity of the highly educated people who are supposed to know what they’re doing, plus the total complacency of the highly educated people who are supposed to be supervising them.
A perfect storm, as institutions crumpled and collapsed. with new fault lines targeting up the most powerful country on the planet.
Don’t disengage as digital technology is disrupting international politics in myriad ways.
To start, it is bringing new dimensions to the authoritarian playbook, enabling governments to more easily manipulate information consumed by citizens, to monitor dissent and track political opponents, and to censor communications.
Democracies, meanwhile, are struggling to strike the right balance between rewarding economic innovation and reaping the financial benefits of Big Tech, while protecting user privacy, guarding against surveillance misuses, and countering disinformation and hate speech.
Can democracies strike an appropriate balance between safeguarding their societies from dangerously polarizing online rhetoric while maintaining commitments to protecting free expression?
Can civic activists, independent journalists, and human rights advocates continue to find innovative ways to push back against government repression using new tools, tactics, and technologies?
The answers to these questions are not foretold—all of them represent major areas of contestation.
But one thing is clear. There is an expanding set of countries relying on facial recognition technology, big data analytics, predictive policing techniques, and safe city systems to enhance their security capabilities. There is now a close relationship between authoritarian regimes, constraints on political freedoms, and corresponding government reliance on digital repression techniques.
What technological methods are Gulf states using to enact their political agendas?
What can civil society make of the growth of internet shutdowns and social media blockages around the world?
Government disdain for international human rights principles “is pushing resistance to the breaking point.”
Disinformation has become the tool of choice for many illiberal regimes. From extreme political movements, particularly far-right groups, which harness social media to propagate falsehoods, spread conspiracy theories, and foment polarization and identity politics.
Flooding social media channels with competing or distracting information that overwhelms legitimate information sources, and deliberately post offensive content online to provoke or disrupt conversations
.A bigger question is how much governments should hold platforms responsible for facilitating the spread of bad information .
It is insufficient to blame Facebook or Twitter’s poor leadership for the much more complicated proliferation of politically motivated falsehoods.
These varying global perspectives shed light on emerging areas of contestation and highlight the complexities, urgency, and dangers involved in the advance of digital technologies and their effects on politics globally.
One has only to look at technology usage in the current wars in order to relise that Alogrithms are ruling not just how lives or dies on the battle fields but the direction we all going in our everyday lives.
All human comments appriciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
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.

≈ Comments Off on THE BEADY EYE SAY’S: IT’S FAR TO LATE TO CONTROL AI.
( Six minute read)
Why?
Because the change is already taking place.
Because, There are now more cell phones in the world than people. There were less than 7% of the world on online in 2000, today over half the global population has access to the internet.
Because, technology has already radically transformed our societies and our daily lives, from smartphones to social media and healthcare. Technology touches nearly everything we do.
Because, your voice, your image, your race, your shopping habits, your health, your movement’s, your viewing habits, your voting, your financial standing, your criminal record, your interests, your decision making, down to what you are eating, not forgetting your sex life is and has being harvest for free.
All can be and are being faked.
Because, virtual interactions offers enticing financial opportunities for big businesses and digitalized Governments.
——-
Excessive use of technology can do more harm than good, and we should bear this in mind before we rush into digitizing our lives.
When all areas of human activity get rapidly digitized, it’s easy to become desensitized to the importance of innovations and advancements for the overall progress of society. Though it may be tough to predict which advancements technology would bring next, some innovations are already changing our beliefs about the world around us.
The coming generations will be living in a mixture of reality and the metaverse. Using headsets to create a 3D avatar – a representation of themselves – to enter a virtual world connecting all sorts of digital environments. Perhaps when they go online shopping, they will be able too try on digital clothes first, and then order them to arrive in the real world.
A virtual economy of inequality. Nowhere does the intersection of technology, enterprises and individuals hold greater opportunity than in the metaverse.
If it happens at all – will be fought among tech giants for the next decade, or maybe even longer.

The Metaverse doesn’t exist – at least not yet, but there no way of predicting how people will react to it, or how it will be used.
( Everything transformed into line of code, augmenting reality by superimposing a computer-generated image on a user’s view of the real world. You have an experience while wearing another person’s body and you get to walk a mile in that person’s shoes.)
The next generation of the internet has the power to reshape the way that businesses and consumers engage, transact, socialize, work and learn together exploring the world on their own terms.
As of today, there isn’t anything that could legitimately be identified as a metaverse. The metaverse is essentially a massive, interconnected network of virtual spaces,
A better question might be:
What could become the metaverse?
Something that people would have considered magic just a few decades ago is now gaining popularity in business, gaming, and team building.
The combination of augmented, virtual and mixed reality – will play an important role.
The distinction between being offline and online will be much harder to delineate. So we either end up in a situation where it’s complete chaos and everyone’s allowed to do everything and you know, there’s racism, sexism, abuse and all that kind of stuff, or there’s incredibly tight moderation and no one’s allowed to do anything.
Wearable screens and gesture-based computing, other recent innovations, are predicted to soon substitute the usual PC and phone screens.

Robots, another buzzword in today’s business world, have already replaced humans in some workplaces — robotic arms work at assembly or packing lines. Flying cars will soon address the issue of limited ground space and long traffic jams.
Clearly, technology by itself is neither good nor bad. It is only the way and extent to which we use it that matters.
It is indisputable that thanks to technology, we get a chance to live a life our predecessors could not even dream about.
But do all tech advancements bring sole good to our lives?
Or, maybe, the impact of tech innovations is quite ambiguous.
We are all at the mercy of machine learning algorithms, that are non transparent, non accountable, and non regulated.
So we have an open letter from those on High in the Tec world, advocating that the brakes should be applied to the creation of new tech that generates falsehood’s. You dont have to be a Tech genius to know that this is not going to happen.
My advice is.
To protect oneself.
Every person should have a secret verification word in order to authenticate the caller and a symbol to be used in all texts and emails, that if not present in any communication received or sent, marks it as False.

All of which begs the question: just why is the 21st century so dystopian?
A few years ago, you might have thought: this is just a phase. It’ll pass. But it’s not. If anything, it’s getting worse, and it feels like it’s here to stay.
When I say “it”, or “dystopia,” you might wonder exactly, precisely what I mean. What I mean is very simple though. How many crises do we face? More than I can easily count. Let’s try to list them all, though we’ll run out of sanity and room before we finish, for sure. Finances? Total crisis, incomes falling around the world, debt levels soaring. Infrastructure? Mega-crisis, unless you think the infrastructure we have survives this century, let alone this decade. Social systems? Everywhere from France to Britain to America — crisis. People’s…minds? Crisis, especially in young people, depression and anxiety and suicide rates soaring. Then there are the big ones: climate change and mass extinction, not to mention politics , which has taken a notably…fascist…turn, again.
All of this is what scholars have begun to call The age of Polycrises. And in it, the better question isn’t: “what’s in crisis?
It’s: what isn’t?
Like I said, the list above is a mere brief beginning. Migration and refugees? Another one. Peace and democracy? Yup, in crisis.
How about upward mobility? Check. Faith and confidence in institutions? Super crisis. Take a look at any element of society or the world, and chances are, it’s in crisis. How about inequality? Shocking levels of crisis.
This is why the 21st century feels so dystopian.
It’s not really a “feeling,” though that’s the way it’s often made out to be by media. It’s an empirical reality. Scholars have begun to conceptualize the 21st century as a “Polycrisis” for a reason, which is that the dystopia is real.
So when media, bigwigs, wannabe intellectuals and so forth, make all this out to be exaggeration, hyperbole, imply that you are the fainting Victorian bride in the room, because, hey, Tucker!! Everything’s Great!!…they’re completely wrong. And that needs to be said. It’s a form of denialism at this point, because…
The next part is about cause and effect. We need, as a civilization and a world, to figure out what’s causing all this, so we can begin to undo it.But if all we do is deny it…then, my friends, our gooses are well and cooked. It’s fascism on a dying planet, in different bitter and poisonous flavours, maybe.
ITS NOW AGI. ( Artificial General Intelligence) Already it is transforming every walk of life.
AI is not a futuristic vision, but rather something that is here today and being integrated with and deployed into a variety of sectors.
There are numerous examples where AI already is making an impact on the world and augmenting human capabilities in significant ways. This includes fields such as finance, national security, health care, criminal justice, transportation, and smart cities, digital education, decision making, democracy’s.
Artificial intelligence algorithms are designed to make decisions, often using real-time data. They are unlike passive machines that are capable only of mechanical or predetermined responses. Using sensors, digital data, or remote inputs, they combine information from a variety of different sources, analyse the material instantly, and act on the insights derived from those data. With massive improvements in storage systems, processing speeds, and analytic techniques, they are capable of tremendous sophistication in analysis and decision making.
———-
These software systems “make decisions which normally require [a] human level of expertise” and help people anticipate problems or deal with issues as they come up. As such, they operate in an intentional, intelligent, and adaptive manner
AI generally is undertaken in conjunction with machine learning and data analytics. Machine learning takes data and looks for underlying trends. If it spots something that is relevant for a practical problem, software designers can take that knowledge and use it to analyse specific issues. All that is required are data that are sufficiently robust that algorithms can discern useful patterns. Data can come in the form of digital information, satellite imagery, visual information, text, or unstructured data.
AI systems have the ability to learn and adapt as they make decisions. In the transportation area, for example, semi-autonomous vehicles have tools that let drivers and vehicles know about upcoming congestion, potholes, highway construction, or other possible traffic impediments. Vehicles can take advantage of the experience of other vehicles on the road, without human involvement, and the entire corpus of their achieved “experience” is immediately and fully transferable to other similarly configured vehicles. Their advanced algorithms, sensors, and cameras incorporate experience in current operations, and use dashboards and visual displays to present information in real time so human drivers are able to make sense of ongoing traffic and vehicular conditions. And in the case of fully autonomous vehicles, advanced systems can completely control the car or truck, and make all the navigational decisions.
If we don’t want to end up as deglazed digital citizens here’s what should be done.
Regulate broad AI principles rather than specific algorithms,
Take bias complaints seriously so AI does not replicate historic injustice, unfairness, or discrimination in data or algorithms,
Maintain mechanisms for human oversight and control, and
Penalize malicious AI behaviour and promote cybersecurity.
All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
