The prosaic language of the benefits of Artificial Intelligence hides the facts that if we do not ensure our existence we will become products both in dead and alive.
What makes people stupid is their certainty that they have all the answers, and when they have power they are very dangerous.
AI at the moment can be seen as in an embryo state rather than a fully developed and integrated set of tools that will accompany us into the future.
If this future is to have any relevance it has to have an organic relationship with humanity. It must have a worldwide authority in the form of a human written constitution that can be amended by humans.
Why must this be done?
Not because Yuval Harari is warning us of the dangers of Artificial Intelligence.
Rather AI in its present form is shining a light on itself with its self learning not yet fully aware of its abilities to fuck up what’s left of our lives for the sake of short term profit or shots of pleasure and addictions.
What is this warning?
The way to live is to kill because you don’t have to worry about anyone who’s dead.
This is a human truth down the centuries.
Those in power must first show their power is not only there for others, but an instrument of service.
It’s not power that corrupts but fear.
Fear of loosing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it … justice and compassion… are often the only bulwarks against ruthless.
Why?
Because ” Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it ”
It should be clear by now to all of us that prohibition of any country resort to war is a valid principle of international law.
Unfortunately international law is non enforceable due to the veto.
Let’s hope that the United Nations has the bottle to radically revise its constitution.

With social media the truth is becoming cheaper to find. Because the past is a messy and dangerous place the truth must be protected at all costs.
There is with artificial intelligence, climate change and the current wars, no room for false news.
And the truth is that all technology now and in the future will not replace the planet you live on.
However without control, algorithms will be running your life because they are not tools but agents.
Ask yourself what is their GOAL.
Answer. To make decisions.
Without Trust what is there?
This is if you lived fifth years ago the same world, except it is at a point that is going to change for ever.
We are approaching the beginning of the last years of human evolution as a biological creature.
Remember human beings are complex.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS.

≈ 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.

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 question is going to have a profound effect on all of us.
Donal has indicated that he is not interested in CLIMATE CHANGE, NATO and the EU.
However in relation to all that is happening in the world he is a pivotal figure whether we like it or not whether he is mentioned or not in dispatches.
It’s American first.
We are now once again the most powerful in the world.
Whether you like it or not he says nasty things, turn USA foreign policy in treats .
Politically his election for a second term is nationalistic in the extreme.
A man against basic human rights. He wants to round up 11 million illegal immigrants and put them into camps to be deported. Rwanda is going to become over crowded.
He is going to increase the cost of living by 5% with tariffs.
There is no doubt that countries are going to have to increase defence spending.
It is pathetic that we live in a world that spends more on arms to kill each other than on getting to know each other.
The West Bank in Gaza can kiss itself goodbye along with any two state solution to the conflict.
The UKRAINE can also kiss the loss of substantial territories, and god forbid welcome in return a civil war that will eventually put Russia in total control and face on to NATO.
The expansion of NATO is the real reason that Putin invaded the Ukraine.
This is going to be a grumpy four years with Trump promises in charge of Elon Musk nightmares.
A tweet here and a tweet there could change history.
The worst thing that might happen is that he like many a president before him claims Irish heritage when in fact he is of German and Scottish blood.

The lack of understanding of the issues affecting life is visible in most political parties aspersions, not to mention profits seeking algorithms.
Unfortunately, this is not the world in which we live. Power stems only partially from knowing the truth.
Our world not matter how one looks at it, is getting into a worse and worse state on almost every level and front.
AI – Climate – Wars – pollution- greed – inequalities- racism- religious intolerance- exploitation- social media- education- profiteering- pandemics- gender ideology- dehumanising refugees- metaverse- cost of living- you name it and its getting worse not better by the day
Why you might ask?
Because.
We are walking around with our very own colosseum areas in our hands, portraying a world full of succulent burgers with violence on tap.
Because.
Social media deriving pleasure from other people suffering is promoting false news, with false like clicks, false on line friends, false values.
Treating wars and natural disasters as entertainment, promoting growth and unsustainable consumption above any worthy while common values. Becoming morally hypocritical with AI knowledge.
Because.
Rationality is going out the window for the sake of shot term pleasure’s detaching us from reality.
Any one can become an Internet troll.
Because.
If we are unwilling to invest in a future, it is no wonder our world is in such a mess.
Because.
Psychopathic traits make for Popular leaders with bloated and boundless egos.
Because
We fail to understand the basic laws of nature resulting in an endemic of bad effects.
Because.
Climate change has the potential to cause deviations and millions of deaths but we remain unable to act together even though we are facing such a stark prospect.
Because.
To find a way to make millions of us to cooperate is a science still in the making.
To inspire people to make a common sacrifices for a common cause requires fictional stories rather than the truth,.
If we want to battle climate change it has to take precedence in all activities and this can only be achieved by bribing the great unwashed into changing how it conducts itself.
Rewards / tax breaks.

There was a day when the free world would react to a war stricken countries by sending Peacekeepers.
No longer!
The reasons for this are numerous.
Our inability to plan long term as a result of I am all right jack veto in the UN.
Our collective insanity not to value life beyond Social Media, Consumption Advertising, GDP, Lottery dopamine injection, Olympic medals, God bless me or Allah be praised.
Our collective inability not to see that technology has no boundaries. The unadulterated social media agendas, the fragility of algorithm capitalism driven markets.
Without our true participation in democracy, it will collapse.
The eroding religious mix in countries influencing the cultural direction of politics
—————
The need to re evaluate our lives.
Rather than live picture on a smartphone, of tragedies, genocides, climate disasters we need to take our fingers out of where the sun does not shine and change direction with unlimited funding.
Just look at the Paris Climate change commitments – 1.5 – it’s now looking like 3.5.
As you can see Climate has been turned into a product with the next conference in Baku Azerbaijan in November next., making it the 29th already begging for funds.
We have already used all the data that exists to try and create Generative Ai which by the way is going to need massive amounts of energy.
We are looking down the barrel of democracy being hi-jacket by systems controlled by non elected global corporations mining knowledge while we communicate with Mojos.
Personal I find our sorry state pathetic, considering we view our self as superior to the DoDo that went extinct or was killed to extinction by the perpetual Dodo us.
Yes no political system is safe or guaranteed but the only reason we now raise a finger to help or form an alliance is to avoid sanctions or tariffs.

Since time immemorial we have had poverty, inequality.
Even with all the technology advances, political initiatives, international aid, etc we humans are unable to set values because capitalism has turned everything facet of life into a product.
Being born to being departed along with everything in between is an opportunity to make money now or in the future.
However we’re now at a crossroads.
Algorithms are mining our desires, sending personalised ads to stimulate unsustainable growth.
It’s no surprising that we have ended up in this situation.
We can say whatever, the international rules based of trade no longer applies. It and its organisations have been blown up by Donald Trump.
I am all right jack is back with the inequality gap getting wider by the minute.
The only rules that now matter are the rules of finance. All of the rest don’t apply.
If we don’t step back from the brink of climate catastrophe, due to growth at all costs, there will be little point for our continued growth/ existence, other than to become slaves to AI.
