We take our perceptions and knowledge at face value and up to now knowledge could not exist without a knower.
With Artificial Intelligence this is on the threshold of change.
What we know to date lies within consciousness. This is why the world is experienced differently as it is presented to us through our individual senses and emotions.
We cannot step outside ourselves and since we know that, we can deduce that the world itself has neither, objective, time, space, or casualty.
However a world of will is on the horizon with AI.
As shocking as it sounds how will we imagine a world entirely comprised of AI will?
There will be no need for education money votes or reasoning if we end up indoctrinated by the will of 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.

It’s beyond a joke that we only just beginning to understand ( while we are in control) that we’ve started to shape the reality of our futures under artificial intelligence. This is the Notre Dame of our very existence which we are messing with, not some passing technology fad.
We are in the process of redesigning how we live, not where we live.
Alarmingly we are allowing an Algorithmic worthless world to develop without any overview or regulations to control who, what or why.
The argument we’re only platforms no longer holds water.
They must be made legally accountable and transparent.
The Google ‘s of this world, whether we know it or not are reshaping society, alongside its institutional base relationships with Algorithms that are self learning nonregulating.
However they cannot be allowed immunity from the laws that govern us all.
As the question is becoming who controls who?
Who knows what is happening around them the algorithm or us?
The truth is no one knows.
Unfortunately until we do know, we must rely on the values that determine life.
There is little point in having a personal digital agent if you don’t understand its decision making process.
By the time you do understand it will have morphed again.
So it’s get a grip now or never.

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.

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.
