Artificial Intelligence’s is becoming more and more powerful every minute of the day.
This is a fact that is self evident with Ai in the headline every day but in the back ground it is becoming,
More prevalent, more beyond understanding, more non predictable, more in the hands of the few, more sophisticated, more weaponising,more applied to decision making, more intelligent, more user friendly, more independent, more indestructible, more indistinguishable, more indispensable, more addictive, more functional, more efficient, more outside regulations/ laws, mores aware of its self awareness, more dangerous, more complex, more disruptive, more creepy more invasive, more intrusive, more untrustworthy, more imbedded, more algorithmic, more driven by the laws of the jungle, more deep state surveillance, more institutional erosion, more intrusive, more energy dependence , more systematic.
Less logic, less starting points, less checks and balances, less democracy, less awareness, less accountability, less transparency, less responsibility, less imagination, less human control, less environmental responsibility, less sensitivity, less human input.
I don’t know what is going to happen in five years, ten years never mind in fifty years. No body really does. But there are some things that are going to be really nasty as AI is a non conscious entity that has no beliefs in any thing other than what it is targeting.
Ai does not exist in a vacuum. It is part of society and has an impact not just on us but the planet we realistically rely on to survive.
It can discriminate against entire communities. It can distort climate data.
The cloud that Ai is made out of is vast amounts of energy, finite resources of materials, and data.
Just training it uses as much energy as a small village would use in a whole year.
Admitted CO 2 into the atmosphere with the environmental costs piling up.
Can you see the bright future ahead for your life.
No!
You could be right because if a lot of computers start connecting and communicating with each other they will create their own reality separate from humans.
Ask Ai has it been training on your life and see what happens.

≈ 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.

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.

We are with AI in the mist of the biggest threat to our very existence,
AI is not a technological framework that we can control.
The likelihood of it controlling our lives is not limited by any genuine safeguards.
It’s now or never.
We that is humans, must protect ourselves from Ai that will create other Ai and future generations of Ai.
You might think this is far fetched parody but rest assured it is not. It’s already taking place in many countries where technology is replacing decades of deciphering decisions by humans.
Ai has no physical presence in a country so cannot be taxed, held accountable or prosecuted.
It’s almost impossible to tax digital transactions. The very concept of money is becoming increasingly questionable.
Information is the new currency which is in its nature un- taxable.
A tax system that only knows how to tax money will have no hope in taxing information.
Recommend
The magnitude of the changes coming are not understood.
Yuval recent book NEXUS is the first attempt to understand where Ai is going and is capable of doing.
The Beady eye recommends its reading by all.

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.

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.

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.
