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.

From a distance so many of our lives look the same. Survival, Procreation, Death.
But in our lives everything depends on others and there is no life without feeling part of something bigger than oneself.
Life demands an horizon bigger than the four walls of your living space.
The narrow ruts of immediacy is not life.
The din of humanity has to be shaken off to experience life.
A super market, a shopping centre, a consumer market mall, what ever you want to a call it is not life
Is your life to focus on convenience and consumption?
Are you walking around in fear of loosing your phone, having never read a book or visited an art gallery or museum or being to a play or concert. Climb a mountain, gone scuba diving, sniff a flower, cooked a meal, crack a joke, live in nature.
Life is not a football team, a culture, a race, a language, a country, or the cadaverous light of the computer, the laptop, the iPhone, the iPad, the smart TV.
Or is it rituals we continually reenact that-have long ago emptied of their meaning and do nothing to regather the sense of self.
——————-
Modern day life is turning into a multifaceted compendium of evolving technology and social media affecting our physical and mental health.
It’s is not a life.
Unplug your phone and take notice of your surroundings.
Standing in front of a panoramic vista, or horizon less night sky, is a bit like waving ammonia underneath one’s nose. It reminds you that you are part of a bigger scheme of things than just life.
Change is inevitable.
There are it seems no rules to modern day life, other than overindulgence and living beyond one’s means.
There are nearly 8 billion of us destroying what’s left of our planet’s beauty.
Life on a credit card and the never never of a pay check, bragging on social media is not living, its existence at the pleasure of others.
With the interdependence on each other to reverse climate change becoming more and more urgent, before living becomes not worth while, other than it being harvested by an algorithm. It’s time we understand what an algorithm is.
A set of commands that must be followed for a computer to perform calculations or other problem solving operations actions.
Life is an algorithmic process that does not function as a set of commands that cannot be self imposed or enforced or implemented or taught.
It (like an algorithm) never sleeps but we as organic entities must take a rest or die.
Despite many advances the world is still facing many challenges that have plagued life since it began- poverty- wars- hunger etc.
It’s a no brainier that with all of our achievements we have been unable to achieve equality.
Society is no longer a few people you know.
Non organic technology life is out pacing out ability to live a life and given the pace of change it is essential that we stand up for our rights and avoid assumptions that AI is going to benefit one and all.
The question is who is going to adapt to whom?
Us, to the AI bureaucrats or them to us?
The answer is obvious to life, but not to us as we are loosing the ability to think, talk, or tell each other what is at stake.
You are not a person on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or the internet you’re a product to be bought, exploited for profit by self learning algorithms.
This is why all education should be freed, why all health care must free, why a basic living income is essential.
So we all can become spellbound, transfixed, entrenched, arrested, riveted, mesmerised call it what ever, by the beauty of life that set our selves free to come somewhere near living a full life.

With Artificial Intelligence this is a question that all countries are going to have to address within the next ten to twenty years.
For New Zealand this question is arriving in more ways than one simply question.
Grappling to this day with an agreement that dates back to 1840 (which was ment to be a partnership between the British crown and the indigenous Maori, not the other way around) New Zealand find itself politically in no man’s land.
The Maori signed a treaty written in both English and the Maori language called the Waitangi.
The current Treaty Principles Bill debate reveals a fundamental constitutional reality:
NEW ZEALAND existence is based on an imperial treaty and this treaty predates the emergence of its parliamentary democracy.
The treaty needs to be understood in the context of the age of revolution and an emerging imperial era in which European empires negotiated many treaties with each other and indigenous peoples.
So the treaty to day needs to be read in its immediate New Zealand context and British constitution history, which is based on the Magna Carta dated 1215. ( The English constitution has never been written in a single document.)
The Waitangi treaty like all British treaties points to the English notions of empire, with imbedded privilege in a graduated social hierarchy of mutual obligations- noblesse obliged.
Therefore it cannot be squashed into a later democratic paradigm of individuals with equal citizenship as the Act Party’s Bill might prefer it was.
The truth if faced, is that the treaty arose in a completely different context from the present, but still is the foundation to New Zealand constitutional arrangements with the crown. This is the position and will remain so till New Zealand stand on its own two feet and its people are no longer surf to an unelected monarchy.
This means that the treaty principles are tied to their historical foundations.
You could say that treaty settlement have done much to re-establish tribal collective identities but they do not have the right to exhaust the ongoing treaty based rights of the indigenous people- Maori who were a free people.
(Democracy itself is a Johnny come lately on the global stage, not more than a few centuries back old.) It remains the best way to co- ordinate a multi- ethnic society, but it must reflect local agreement and histories.
While New Zealand retains King Charles as head of state the British government has ongoing obligations to the indigenous peoples on which its authority is based.
Edmund Burke’s 1790 conservative policies sum up the position New Zealand finds itself in.
Society is indeed a contract… it becomes a partnership not only between those who are alive, but between those who are living and those who are dead and those who are yet to be born.
Of course New Zealand has moved on since 1840. However we all know forget the past and the present makes on sense.
We all know that stupidity is more dangerous than malice treaties. They cause civil wars, apartheid, and genocides.
Because of the very nature of treaties they lead to race politics.
Millions have died because of treaties, millions have lived because of treaties.
New Zealand problem is not who owns what land, rather race politics is and continues to divide the country.
This is also the problem with North Ireland.
A land that was taken forcibly by the English in return for a peace treaty that caused a civil war, the establishment of a apartheid state with years of killings and a new recent treaty call Good Friday. (Written in English and not Gaelic the language of the original inhabitants.)
If there’s no written constitution that enshrined equality, every decade that passes the meaning of treaties change.
This is why the need for a written constitution is paramount to interpreting any agreement/treaty.
We have and are entering a new era of digital information and Laws and the way we use them with Artificial Intelligence are developing a style of their own.
People have to be with in hearing range of each other firstly to have any agreements.
In order to unify any people/nation in the world of artificial intelligence’s there will have to be a citizen equal act against any platform, digital citizenship, algorithms greed/ profit and climate change mitigation taking precedence over the vote.
The only way to have a large-scale political conversation among diverse groups of people is to set out the terms and conditions in an agreed constitution.
The key misconception here is that we equate elections to democratic outcomes but a liberal democratic citizenship with Artificial Intelligence can only be achieved with an Equal Citizenship Act that is enshrined in a written constitution.
It could be said that Democracy is at a tipping points. Yes democracy governments are messy. They have so many demands on them that their elected members are not in touch with reality.
Whether his is true or not social media is distracting and distancing us from the real problems, giving rise to populism.
History is full of examples as to what happens when the Democratic process brakes down.
New Zealand with all its faults / beauty / expenses remains one of the best countries to settle in, and it must do everything possible to remain so by not becoming another Hong Kong abandon by the British Empire it must establish its independence internationally.

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.

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.

2024, Global climate trends are cause for both deep alarm, and our continuing denial of the absurdity of the verbal discussions on the subject, a task which is now monumental.
“We have built a civilization based on a world that doesn’t exist anymore.”
“We are conducting an unprecedented experiment with our planet,”
We have now unmoored ourselves from our past, as if we have transplanted ourselves onto another planet.
Without immediate action, we are at grave risk of crossing irreversible tipping points in the Earth’s climate system. +2.0C+3.6F with our current policies is the reality by around 2050s.
The world has already heated up by around 1.2C, on average, since the preindustrial era, pushing humanity beyond almost all historical boundaries,
AND WE STILL CANNOT EXCEPT THE INEVITABLE.
The enormous, unprecedented pain and turmoil caused by the climate crisis is often discussed alongside what can seem like surprisingly small temperature increases – 1.5C or 2C.
“The difference between 1.5C and 2C is a death sentence”. No amount of global warming can be considered safe and people are already dying from climate change.
A severe heatwave historically expected once a decade will happen every other year at 2C.
The fingerprint of climate change on recent extreme weather is quite clear, In fact, extraordinary, with the oceans alone absorbing the heat equivalent of five Hiroshima atomic bombs dropping into the water every second. The oceans have heated up at a rate not seen in at least 11,000 years.
——————
These temperature thresholds will again be the focus of upcoming UN climate talks and Climate Summits
Thirty years of climate summits: Where have they got us?
All have proved that its nearly impossible to achieve any coordination, with the whole process becoming too business-friendly, to the detriment of other perspectives and voices.
It is important to look at the bigger picture.
By most standards the world’s governments are currently failing to avert a grim fate.
To COP28 UN Climate Change Conference in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, was the biggest of its kind. Some 85,000 participants, including more than 150 Heads of State and Government, were among the representatives of national delegations, civil society, business, Indigenous Peoples, youth, philanthropy, and international organizations in attendance at the Conference from 30 November to 13 December 2023.
Given these problems and repeated failures, why continue with the COP meetings?
Because we are arriving at tipping points that represent thresholds which, when crossed, will trigger abrupt and self-perpetuating changes to the world’s climate and oceans.
They are threats of a magnitude never before faced by humanity – one-way doors we do not want to go through.
Governments are more concerned about Energy and food price rises mean that governments face a cost of living and energy security crisis, with some threatening to respond by returning to fossil fuels, including coal.
The climate disaster is here. There is no huge chasm after a 1.49C rise.
Superimposed on top of these long-term warming trends overshadow the real-world hazards they amplify: Heat waves, floods, droughts, wars and mass migration.
Meaning that people and ecosystems are dying, that people are losing their livelihoods, that agricultural land will be unusable.
For climate scientists, this is the “I told you so” moment they never wanted.
So what we’re seeing now is only a foretaste of what could happen if efforts to reduce emissions aren’t successful.
I hope that maybe more people will realize that this is really happening and put pressure on their representative to put actions on the top of their agendas. Our individual choices can challenge the status quo, and force things to change.
Like cleaning up the Advertising Industry to sustainability rather then consumerism across all their out lets – Main Stream TV, Socially Media, Bill Boards and the like.
To cut out the hypocrisy in Trade deals that are not Green, along with home grown policies to grow the economy above genuine climate demanding Projects. To push for a consumer chapter to be included in future deals which reflects the issues that are most important to consumers.
So what’s stopping us from getting there?
The rules governing global trade policy mean that powerful countries and corporations escape accountability.
One of the biggest examples of hypocrisy is the EU’s common agricultural policy – or CAP – established over 50 years ago and currently under reform. This policy, thanks also to the support of highly protective tariffs and agro-chemical companies, has allowed destructive intensive practices to become the default way European food is produced.
Why are French farmers protesting? Their slogan reads “It doesn’t make sense” ~Shat Upon by Regulations, on environmental protection.
They are not being paid enough TO FUCK IT UP.
Perhaps our slogan should be: # ITSALLBOLLOCKS.
We can challenge the myth that we have to choose between protectionism versus free trade, and end the myth that free trade brings any meaningful benefit to the average consumer.
