( Five minute read)

New Zealand needs to go back to basics.

By this I mean New Zealand needs to grow up.

Get rid of the pioneer just arrived bless you image of short with bear feet no matter the weather and try to speak English without the word Like.

God save, does nothing for a small country on the under belly of the earth.

It’s in desperate need of a written constitution, in order to give equality to its indigenous and its growing Asia/ India population’s.

Yes it’s made up of two islands on the bottom of the world, with two cultures, that could not be more separated by their beliefs, and traditions.

Yes it’s physical beauty, but it’s beauty is out weight by it’s traffic jams, it’s retirement homes, it’s lack of round about, it’s Māori named places with English named bays.

Yes thanks to the All Blacks and its yacht-men it’s world renowned for its sporting prowess.

Yes its cost of living is bleeding its youth to Australia and other parts of the world while its government fails to recognise how small and remote New Zealand is. It does not have very large populations living nearby. You can’t tax your way to prosperity. Tax the sale of any property is declaring war on rural New Zealand.

Yes it’s races.

Yes it has spent billions on children playground and nature tracks.

Yes it has enough low line fencing to go around the world twice.

Yes there is big big money in New Zealand.

Yes its market is still recovering from being dumped by the British Empire, and Covid.

Yes (like the Chagos Islands returning Mauritius after 200 years) it needs to break its English Empire colonisation and join world as an independent country.

Yes it still has sheep, kiwis, wine, and everything grows at a hundred miles an hour.

Yes its world image is still green CO2.

Yes it’s the land of the long white cloud, but it’s also the land of the long yellow traffic line, with never ending road maintenance.

Yes it’s keep up with the Jones housing market that remains free of Capital Gains tax. Having a bach/ holiday home is considered a birth right.

Yes its sun burn requires factor 50.

Yes it’s fully of old ugly men in shorts with legs tattooed up to their arse holes.

Yes like most countries it’s has violence.

Yes it’s volcanic, with a white and green galvanised roof houses on every hump.

Yes it’s welcoming, but difficult to make friends in.

Yes its exports markets are more and more reliant on China – Japanese markets.

Yes it’s professional people attract large salaries. Judges earning up to a half a million per year, but doctors earning 60% less than their counterparts in Australia.

Yes it’s a heaven for the retirement industry.

Yes it’s highly socially awkward.

Yes it’s run like all western countries by the Smartphone/Social Media.

Yes its health system needs investment.

Yes in a world without borders its educational aspersions lacks imagination.

Yes there are issues and grievances with the Waitangi Treaty. It has never been legislatively adopted as domestic law. There still not a commonly shared of the Treaty – its rights and obligations. Nor will there ever be till an agreed constitution is written.

This can only be achieved as an independent country.

Yes it’s has more verity of milk than cows.

Yes it’s a Mount Ruapehu.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS: YOUR BEING WATCHED.

( Three minute read)

There appears to be only one solution to the world’s woes.

Mass Algorithmic Surveillance.

They might be invisible but they are now ruling out lives to such an extent that we cannot live without them.

They make us pay more than we should for everything in what’s called the free market which is in fact a capitalist program run by algorithms for profit.

How owns them?

Because the data they are trained can be biased and discriminatory there should be total transparency as to what, who and when they are used.

Is it the code writers, or the company that develops them are the owners?

If they are writing their own code the use of an algorithm is un- own-able, because they start life as abstract ideas which is un -patient able.

They are not legal persons and therefore have no ownership rights, anyone can create their own algorithm.

Only the people who designed, adapted, configured, chose and use the algorithm can be held responsible for their actions.

As more and more products become auto-generated evolutionary algorithms will undermine privacy ownership of almost every thing, as they bypass the traditional need for designer, inventor, author, artist.

However they provide competitive advantages. That’s why they need to be totally transparent.

Are you Flummoxed yet?

Some of the water you drank to day passed through the kidneys of Genghis Khan, Joan of Arc, Socrates. The Air passed through Napoleon, Beethoven,Lincoln, Billy the Kid.

We do not simply live in this universe.

The universe lives in us.

When it comes to his new smart phone. Elton Musk needs to understand this.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS: THE CONVERSATIONS AROUND AI ARE ALL ASS OVER TIT.

( Five minute read)

The airways of communication are full of NEXTUS when it comes to what AI is going to do to the world.

There is no need to look very far when it comes to technology.

The mobile phone did more to correct the inequalities of pricing in the marketplace than all the aid granted to countries over the last twenty years. They also reduced corruption, allowing assistance to be called whenever, and vastly increased our knowledge of each other.

However the risk of allowing self learning machines to coexist with humans vastly outweighs any benefit and is no longer the stuff of science fiction.

With our fibulas mines unable to conceive of a future withoutAI. We should be asking what the world is going to do with AI.

The problem is that we don’t quite know what intelligence is.

There is not yet a single definition of intelligence.

What are the ingredients for true independence intelligence?

You tell me.

We born without any form of intelligence to survive and must learn how to acquire knowledge in order to survive in the first place. If not acquired the -result is death.

Not so in the case of a non biological machines.

If we put a purpose into a machine we had better be clear( beyond any doubt ) what that purpose is and how it can be achieved.

As we don’t have the least inclination as to how any super intelligent machine will function.

Of course the big question is will they wipe humans off the face of the earth.

The answer is YES.

The conversation should be around how we going to control their usage, not how they are going to control us, the climate, influence us, or wipe us out.

If we can implant explosives is pagers surely it possible to implant a self destructed code in all non biological creatures.

We not talking here about a technology that can be regulated with laws, or UN resolutions as it has no human boundaries.

The recent example in the Lebanon should not just terrify the Lebanon but the whole world.

Power is no longer the ability to destroy by military power but the abilities to conquer by Artificial Intelligence technologies.

THE BEADY EYE ASKS: IN THIS NEW WORLD OF ALGORITHMIC TECHNOLOGY WHAT IS INFORMATION?

(Five minute read.)

The short answer is power.

It’s certainly not the truth.

In a world where we are supposed to able to communicate, we are so saturated with information and bombarded with advertising we are no longer able to distinguish what is false and what is true.

Truth is usually the opposite to a false statement. Another words in accord with reality or facts.

We have a thing called Social Media which is destroying the very thing it claims to be – Social.

Far from bringing people together it’s is driving them apart with artificial predictive data gathering turning us into products.

Consider the risks.

While world leaders sit around a table passing worthless resolutions.

Exploding pagers /mobile phones with fake news becoming a major propaganda tool to launch cyber attacks.

To contaminate the air or water with drones.

It’s now or never we hold the owners of Algorithms to total transparency and legal responsibility.

It’s now or never we stop all wars and concentrate our collective actions to stop climate change.

It’s now or never we start to legislate for a transfer into living alongside non biological life forms.

It’s now or never that we learn that time it’s self is not just a forwarding of now but encompassed the past and the future all together in space time.

It’s now or never we ensure that all AI recognise our collective human values.

It’s now or never we put genuine value on all life.

It’s now or never Democracy cleanse its self up with long term solutions to world hunger/ poverty/ insecurity/ inequality/ racism/ living wage/ sustainable.

It’s now or never.

THE BEADY EYE ASKS: WHERE DO WE STAND WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Tags

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

( Six minute read)

The obvious answer to this question is – FOR ALL INTENTIONAL PURPOSES WE ARE ALREADY FUCKED?

Why?

Because to change this view would require a collective vision with in the planet boundaries.

Because growth is more important than people’s lives.

Because it’s all down to making money.

It would require a global root change to the whole system of international trade, markets and making a profit for anything to change.

Because all food production is an industry that has spread toxic pesticides all over the planet to fuel the next pandemic.

Because we are now caught by the short and hairy’s by Algorithms, that are using our weaknesses against us.

Because none of this is science fiction any more. We no longer have a say in most things

Because we are rapidly becoming second rate citizens in a world run by non- biological machines.

Perhaps this is the final destination-and not heaven as some of us are lead to believe.

———————

Do we get our act together to operate on this planet or become obsolete ?

The answer to this question is rapidly approaching with Artificial Intelligence’s, being able to program themselves it will not be in the remotest possible sense be able to control itself without human intervention.

Eventually we will live our lives governed by classification data, with power shifting ( as it is already doing) to AI platforms.

Our healthcare/ location/ financial worth/ benefits/ beliefs/ skills/ life history on our wrists.

Where are we?

On any given day you can find somewhere in the world a conflict involving religion, however the wars of the future ( if fusion energy is not cracked) will be over energy, fought with atomistic weapons.

There will be no God on any given side.

This will happen as our lives become one long, endless, brutal Darwinian struggle.

Our horizons narrow, and our worlds shrink.

We become Myopic- Products.

AI is already siphoning wealth off for the few.

Economics have been failing for generations because it has put profit making before looking after the people.

Putting profits to the forefront of all decisions is sucking the life out of the environment- climate change.

There is no point to growing the GDP of a nation if the cost of living increases beyond being able to pay the bills. Leading as history has shown us on many occasions to FASCISM

How can this still be happening?

Because A1 is dummying us down to dumb hicks – whoops I should have said dummy like

Clickers.

So our elect leaders (who are voted into power by us ) are unable to offer a more compelling alternative to GDP. Ensnared in it by AI data, becoming the beneficiaries of a lack of knowledge of what it means to be human.

So go ahead and tell me how often has fasism’s arisen when people are happy.

There isn’t a single example.

What rights are we going to give non biological machines ? Have they a right to exist? How or who do we make responsible for their actions ?

—————-

The questions raised here are no longer hypothetical.

They are self learning, have no beliefs, don’t suffer death, begin to demand unreasonable amounts of tribute, begin to develop their own ethics, are we dodies going to inflict generational slavery on all humans to come.

Is this the purpose of humanity?

The answer I would say to an AI is 2% no and 98% yes.

There is one thing for certain the future of AI and humanity are inextricably linked.

Artificial general intelligence is around the corner. This is a journey that is going to define our species.

THE BEADY EYE ASK’S HAS ANYONE READ MICROSOFT NEW TERMS AND CONDITIONS GOVERNING ITS SERVICE AGREEMENT.

( Five minute read)

It comes into force on the 30:Sept :2020 whether you have read it, agreed with it-or not.

Seriously if this is transparency Joe soap and I must get an algorithm not just to read it but to have any chance of understand it.

If you ask me it is another example of dummying down to reshape reality.

Its an agreement not just about consuming content but providing data in order to make decisions in the future that is yet to come.

The future of the invisible hand making predictions.

The implications are staggering.

So ask your self why is here no option but to agree.

This isn’t just about selling you a service or product. It’s about analysing your thoughts in order to change your views.

Quantum computing is around the corner when it’s meet artificial intelligence it will be capable of mining and changing everything.

Calculating in second your thoughts, while questioning the very nature of your existence.

Imagine being able to visit your deceased loved one. The implications are mind boggling.

Long after you depart this world a quantum algorithm will represent a virtual digital version of you.

It will challenge every ethical measure we have, challenging what it is to be human in the first place.

Does an AI have a right to exist?

Our current laws/ regulations are worthless to answer this question.

Why?

Because the changes to come are going to require totally new beliefs concerning what a life is. .

To live as a human alongside a non biological life form raised many questions.

Will the AI need a MOT every year.

Will its owner need a license.

Will the owner need insurance.

Will there be powering stations to re-charge.

Will the an age limit on ownership.

Will there be national service for these machines to ensure their loyalty to the nation.

Will they be restricted from distributing information.

You would be mistaken to think that the above questions are academic as the future of personal robotics is yonks away. The transition will be so subtle we won’t see it happening.

With agreement like this one its time we woke up to algorithms that are beginning to make decisions without any human interaction or input.

If we don’t they will not be controlling your life but your digital life will be running and ruling your very existence.

How AI and humanity will coexist is another thing as it is going on impact everything everywhere.

THE BEADY EYE: NOW IS YOUR TIME TO ACT:

There is no d that our world had evolved to such an extent that it could not function without Artificial Intelligence.

However as AI continues to evolve there must be a balance between innovation and reliability.

We have with AI already created the biggest communication gap, in Social Media leaving people unable to talk with each other.

Algorithms are now integrated into every aspect of living a life.

No one is asking yet are the big Tech companies running Governments. It’s certainly not the other way around.

When it comes to Ai we are in fact enslaving the next generation to becoming products of algorithms.

They are in health care, finance, customer service, the legal profession, diagnostics, creative content, predications, but is the information real time information or out of date.

Fear is a well established force and up to now it is the main reason why Ai is not in control of our lives.

Its not possible to terrorise AI as it is not nor will it ever have a con

There is no ethical justification or concern left not to regulate Artificial Intelligence and pass laws to ensure transparency and accountability.

Most organisations rely on AI for tasks that require up to date and factual information.

Amazon is presently working on a AI that will comprehensive evaluate AI systems that could change the correlation of AI decisions with human judgment. Called RAGChecker it’s not yet available.

However when it comes to market it must be an open – source tool that can be integrated into existing ANS services.

So let’s start questioning AI.

Who is responsible for AI?

How did the AI make its decision?

Does it need access to intellectual property or other protected data?

What are the consequences?

What degree of autonomy should be given to AI?

What data was used to train the AI?

Does AI need access to private data that must be protected?

While some applications demand a higher level of transparency, trustworthiness than others all AI needs to be trusted.

We are captivated by the concept of AI – but it has a long way to go before it becomes trustworthy enough to take on or replace human judgement- deepfake.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS: MANKIND, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION HAS GOT IT WRONG.

( Eight minute read)

You would think by now we would have figured it out that we have created fantastic amounts of waste and pollution to produce things that we don’t ( and often can’t) use again.

Ecosystem survive and are sustainable because they circulate and re-use energy and materials.

However modern industry which is now using technologies requiring vast amounts of energy continues to rely mostly on the one-way street of resource extraction and depletion.

This combination obviously can’t continue indefinitely. In the face of the staggering amount of power we are allowing massive data storage for algorithms, businesses and governments must learn from ecosystems the concept of up- cycling.

Take the humble honey bee for example.

Time had forgotten the power of the honey Bee.

The honey bee most definitely had what archaeologists call magico – religious significance for many ancient civilisations.

Honey is referred to in most religions books. Indeed it was prescribed as a medicine back in the days of Egyptian, Alexander the Great, Sparta, King Heron, Neto’s wife. Aristotle, the Roman Empire, the Chinese civilisation. India , the Americas , the Aztecs, the Dark Ages, in fact without the honey bee we would not exist.

Honey now seems with the arrival of antibiotics to be relegated to something we put on toast. When it was an antibiotic away back in 1892 it was not taken for granted.

To day New Zealand has a particular variety of honey that kills bacteria the sort bacteria that causes so much woe. But for some reason the country does not promote its production.

The Pohutukawa tree or Christmas Tree quintessential Kiwi produces a honey

The Manuka a bushy tree produces a honey called tea – tree honey .

On the other hand if we allow technology to develop exclusively with in the capitalist world we will have a world more divided with inequalities at its heart and than ever before,

If we are lucky we will have a digital global order.

There is no pause button on these technologies it’s now or never that we harness them to sustainably human values.

There is no simple way back, if there is indeed any way at all .

The Beady eye has for some considerable time been warning if we don’t have totally transparent and accountability we will just become products.

It is beyond comprehension that we have become so docile in giving up information for these self learning algorithms to plunder the the world for short term profit it seems we don’t give a fuck about the future of the planet.

To put this in perspective just take a moment to look at the planet that you’re most likely to live the rest of your life on.

Just under 5 billion years old. Hanging in space, surrounded by satellites spinning at 1600 km, travelling at 107,000km around the sun, it has and is presently supported billions of us, on smartphones, plus all known species that ever existed.

In return we its guard have plundered its finite resources, polluted its atmosphere, seas and rivers and lakes, destroyed its natural forests, covered it in billions of tons of concrete, tarmac, all for short term profit.

In response we are just beginning to reap the rewards of Climate Change, that no tech is going to stop.

Resulting in mass migration, inevitable wars, social upheavals etc you would think that we by now understand what is at stake.

For example: This year thousands have braved crossing the Darien gap in Panama to get to the USA, not to mention the Mediterranean , or the English Channel.

Look at Bangladesh under water. The question becomes why do we do nothing? This is a war on every sense of the word and we must win it.

And without bacteria gripping nitrogen from the atmosphere and turning it into organic molecules called nucleotides and amino acids no large creatures could survive.

It amaze me in this world of such technology advancements we have only known for certain that certain bacteria cause many diseases the same length of time we invented the lightbulb.

The greatest minds were not so long ago apt to blame “ bad air” for cholera and too clean for the plague.

The world which-is just getting over Covid is now facing an outbreak of a virus called Monkey Disease. Fortunately these days we have worked out how to get out immune system to work more efficiently. Eg the Covid vaccine instructed our immune system how to act.

We are however a long way off explaining why it is that we spend billions trying to wipe out microbes/bacteria.

If all the microbes buried in the earth were to come to the surface the earth would be covered in them to the high of a twenty storey building.

When it comes to bacteria they is over 39 trillion frolic in each and every one of us. 79% of us is bacteria.

Anti microbial resistance is developing as one of the major urgent threats to humans. Costing trillions.

In 2010, 63 tons of antibiotics were used in livestock production worldwide, sabotaging decades of the global fight against many infectious diseases.

By the year 2050

Cancer will kill 8.3 million of us

Cholera 100 to 120,000

Diarrhoea 2.5 million

Measles 130,000

Road traffic accidents 1.2 million

Tetanus 60,000

Anti microbial Resistance 10 million

In the mean time we pour billions and billions of bottles of god only knows what down our drains from washing machines, to toilets, to swimming pools , carwashes , windscreen wipers, windows cleaners, graffiti removal, to test our livers.

DETTOL – Kills 99.9% of all known cling ons .

It’s no wonder our immune system are compromised.
