WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE NEED TO START INTRODUCING THE WORD HUMAN INTO OUR WORLD.
YOU DONT HAVE TO BE TOLD THAT LIFE IS COMPLETELY COMPLEX.
SAPIENS AND NEXUS both do admirable job at explaining this.
Most of us live out out lives trying to acquire the major items that make up a lived experience.
A partner, children, a dwelling , Indeed there’s a whole industry set up to do just that.
Once the word human is dropped from our language we behave differently to whatever we find around us.
Why?
Because you can see this is true down the ages with dehumanisation taking place before battles or wars..
Because once the word human disappears from our vocabulary we act in a far different manner, and we are now entering a period of our evolution with Artificial Intelligence’s that requires that we make distinct difference between the word human and artificial real meanings.
Why is this important?
The world has and is changing faster than we can understanding the difference between living on or in it.
You would think by now we would know how to respect and live with each other.
Unfortunately as you can see with the current wars we are still savages with short lives. However if we are to have any chance we must come to an understanding of kindness to each other.
To do this it’s giving rather than taking is what’s required.
We now have a somewhat dubious report of contact with another biological living organism.
Just imagine an other lot trying to live with us. Over the thousands of years of our evolution cannot not stop killing each other.
We are fools unable to share, but we could share and keep our individual cultures with in written constitution for our planet.
This is going to become a reality with Artificial Intelligence’s which will not be loyal to any national flag or religion.
We are fooling ourselves if we continue to think we alone in the universe.
Living on or in the planet requires a completely new way of imagining life.
Historical records will disappear into the metaverse.
Power will be knowledge.
We will be living longer.
Religious beliefs will continue to change.
All of this is not going to happen overnight on its own accord but once it starts there will be no stopping it.
Once any form of consciousness is achievable by any form of mixed evolution we will become the second occupant on earth .
There is no more room to not recognise that AI is going to not just change the way we conduct our lives but how we use our planet
You might think all of this hogwash but you’re wrong. Human life is changing. Because firstly it has to. The planet can no longer be abuse we have to live with in the sustainable of its life given resources.
All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and adbuse chucked in the bin.
We heading into a World without critical thinking. To have any chance of any identity worth while, you must experience what you identify with, without distractions.
If you want a life worth living there is nothing that requires your attention more than learning how to enhance your ability to recognise the values that you are going to need to live your life in the first place.
For example the beauty of the natural world, both in birth and death.
Unfortunately these days most of us do not having attention span long enough to really appreciate the importance of exploring an experience.
We belong to a world which is more connected on one hand and on the other more distracted than ever before.
To turn attention into behaviour is now extremely difficult due to the traction of the smartphones.
We live in a world full of distractions most of which are designed to waste your time.
We prioritise the easy things to do making it almost impossible to develop an identity of any sustainable worth.
You are not the content of your consciousness, your identity is built around awareness.
In a world that is becoming more and more defined by not your thoughts but by data becoming the sort of person one wants to become takes not just education but hands on experience, this is why travel is so important.
So if we are allowing yourselves to become digitalised data we losing the purpose of living your life.
Just because we see life we do not stand above it.
Your future is not the metaverse but your own imagination stimulated by living experiences.
And at this very moment let me tell you the above is a statement that could not be truer as I am being prepared for a bypass surgery.

≈ Comments Off on THE BEADY EYE SAYS WE HAVE REACHED IN HISTORY OF HUMANITY A POINT WHEN IT IS NECESSARY FOR US TO WALK BACKWARDS INTO THE FUTURE WITH OUR EYES FIXED ON OUR PAST.
Are we building technology for us or something else?
What is the future of us, the people?
I believe that Ai will make us even more human.
Mr Socrates
“ Wisdom comes from how little we know “
The future can only be made by asking better continuous questions. This is exactly what AI will do.
Using pseudoscience it will take a misguide leap to evade Meta’s filters and hijack community notes, eventually come to the conclusion that we are not needed.
Creating a cesspit of a world of misinformation.
Just think what it will be like when fact checkers are gone.
For the first time ever humanity must contend with a cacophony of non human voices called bots.
We will in the end trade our liberty for more certainty.
However totalitarianism will remain untenable to Ai.
Even if machine learning algorithms rules they will compete in a world of synthetic data.
The biggest challenge is not the world of technology with the convergence of humans and machines it is climate change.
So we have a choice now not tomorrow but right now.
Live with machines that will have the knowledge of all our collective humanity in a roasting world or tackle the climate that is going making living impossible.

≈ Comments Off on THE BEADY EYE SAYS: WE HUMANS HAVE TRIED MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO LIVE TOGETHER /BUILD SOCIETIES WITHOUT SACRIFICING OUR INDIVIDUAL IDENTITIES.
With many names from the bottom of the globe to the top, it has cost billions of lives and trillions of dollars, with each and every advancement predicted to cause an apocalypse end to us all.
To days artificial advancements how ever are different from previous human interventions. All previous inventions required humans in the loop. Artificial intelligence will not.
Therefore the compatibility of democracy with technological advancement is paramount to our very survival, not to mention democracy itself.
This time we got to get it right as there will not be a next time.
However given our inability to recognise our errors ( if we are to be successful with AI ) we need to install self correcting mechanisms that can id and correct mistakes as Ai becomes part of being human.
This time we will need a written constitution to protect the values that are common to all organisms that are organic
That requires a fundamental change in our thinking, ambitions, and our awareness to what makes life possible and worth living.
It’s not living life through the lens of a smartphone.
Not living life through pretend reality with in the metaverse, pandering to wealthy elites, platforms.
It’s not living life through our photos stored in the cloud.
It’s not social media which is desensitising us to world problems.
If artificial intelligence micromanages everything I do and think that will give it totalitarianism control over society.
Is that what we want?
Technology is rarely deterministic. As a as a binary all are nothing choice.
Having access to our personal life comes with a fiduciary duty to act in our best interests. This an ancient principle must be incorporated by law into all algorithms and applied to all platforms .
All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
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.
All human comments appreciate. 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.

Just imagine a world where there are two of you, one real and the other existing in the metaverse.
Social media has revolutionized the information world but whether it is a boon or a curse, remains a matter of debate because the online world blurs the lines between reality and virtual reality, the metaverse will be the final straw.
Today, we often perceive anyone who shuns social media as old or out of touch. However, they might be the most mentally fit among us.
The more grounded you are in your authentic value as a human being, the less likely you are to be a heavy user of social media and also to be negatively affected by it.
No matter which side you are on it has impacted the way we communicate, collaborate, and consume everyday life, from work and shopping to politics.
Now, it’s impossible to separate the role of social media from society.
It has become such an integral part of our lives that people actually cannot live without it.
There was a time when people were not able to go to the courts and ask for justice but social media has become a very powerful source to share every injustice happening in society.
Social media helps to express all the oppression, abuse, and injustice that happened to the people. It supports every person publicly speaking for their rights and talking against violence. Thus social media also serves the purpose of fighting for human rights in society.
At the moment it would only take one day of no social media to cause chaos and world markets to collapse.
Why?
Because you don’t even need a computer or a fixed-line internet connection anymore. You can pull out your phone and send a message.
Several studies and researchers have associated social media with several psychiatric disorders, including depressive symptoms, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
Today, the internet makes shopping more efficient because it’s quicker and cheaper than going into a store. The tradeoff is in losing visual and tactile experiences, and the sensation of being in a crowd or a shared sense of reality and place.
Because participating on the different social media platforms is no longer a privilege but a mandate.
That said, does social media provide benefits and benefits alone?
Not at all.
These platforms also come with a dark side that can damage you in many ways. Anybody can make a fake account and do anything without being traced.
Social media is removing the gap between higher authorities and the public.
Excessive addictive use of Social media has destroyed mental health as it influences individuals’ soundness, which I am sure has contributed not just to Brexit but the mass killings we are now witnessing.
==================
So what is the metaverse?
In short, the metaverse is (conceivably) the next frontier for the internet.
It seeks to create embodied experiences that will push many parts of the web as we know to their limits.
We don’t yet know the full repercussions of what making the virtual a little more life-like could be; just as it was difficult to predict how the World Wide Web would impact society the metaverse will remove us further from reality.
There will be many unanswered questions.
They cover the creator economy, tribalism, and the real costs associated with the metaverse – and maybe show how little we know.
Will there be one metaverse or many? (And why might one be better than the other?“
It depends.” Is there a single internet, or are there multiple internets?)
Even if a single implementation of the metaverse becomes mainstream, we’ll find ways to divide it into mini-metaverses that serve our gathering needs. This is neither a good nor a bad thing – it’s simply part of being human.
The metaverse will reconstruct the web from a flat two-dimensional experience into an immersive, interactive three-dimensional experience that resembles a massive multiplayer video game.
The metaverse might allow us to reclaim our past while still preserving the efficiencies of going digital.
This sense of freedom from physical limitations spans all aspects of identity. On a vast scale, people will be able to recreate themselves and be anything they want to be – no matter their race, gender, or size.
If you could experience reality virtually, why would you leave your home?
So it is that the metaverse presents a contradiction:
In the absence of UGC, User-generated contentthe metaverse would be nothing more than a static environment where people could look but not interact (like watching a movie).
If the metaverse is to be as interactive, immersive, and experiential as professed, the world cannot rely only on companies to flesh it out.
We won’t just have social media, but very social media. “Holding” crypto could take on a literal meaning. Our online identities would have substance and form, and might, therefore, be treated with a higher level of respect than we currently give our avatars and usernames.
Living a virtual life.
