≈ 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.

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.

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.

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.

We have the new prophet Yuval Harari telling us where we came from and where we are going, making millions, while we are becoming less and less involved in decisions making.
Then along came the internet, social media and now algorithms.
The results combine with climate change is more and more disasters, proxies war, with ever widening inequality.
It’s time to ask yourself what do you believe.
Some decades ago the concept of globalisation became related to commercial and industrial development and control throughout the world.
American corporate imperialism is now endangering, with an invisible hand the democracy and freedom of nations.
In this Artificial intelligent world which country poses the greatest risk/ danger to world peace?
North Korea- Iraq – Israel- Ukraine- Russia- China- or USA a colossus astride the world, imposing its will & keeping the peace through military & Economic Power.
Pax Americana no longer exists.
America its self is now a democracy that is bereft of a few of the essential elements to call itself a democratic country.
No one has ever said as far as I am aware that democracy should be a platform where the richest people that earn a thousand times more than the poorest should share presidential platforms.
Now is the time to visit the vanishing wonders of the world before decisions making is the sole prerogative of AI.
You don’t have to be a genius to see that Artificial intelligence is already high jack by capitalism.
No one had a solution to legislate this coming world of AI
There is nothing to deal with something like this even if Yuval Harari tries to explain us Sapiens till the cows come home rest assured there won’t be for some considerable time.
Essentially AI is arming and has armed every person on the planet with their own voice.
Therefore it stands to reason that what ever comes into existence will protect itself from Homo Sapiens.
Million and millions of people are going to have access to technologies that can essentially develop sophisticated methods that are always evolving into something thing better at what it does.
The more data it acquired on people the more powerful it becomes.
Before you can kill the monster you have to say its name.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
Contrary to popular belief, fantasy is not about making things up.
It’s about taking what is normal and everyday and usual and unregarded, and turn it around and show it from a different direction, so we see it once more with new eyes.
What we are seeing to day is AI in its infancy, as is the frugality of human life with climate change.

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.

It’s hard to feel for future people. We are bad enough at feeling for our future selves.
Even if we last just 1 million years, as long as the average mammal – and even if the global population fell to 1 billion people – then there would be 9.1 trillion people in the future.
Concern for future generations is common sense across diverse intellectual traditions. When we dispose of radioactive waste, we don’t say, “Who cares if this poisons people centuries from now?
Similarly, few of us who care about climate change or pollution do so solely for the sake of people alive today.
Is any of this true?
Current global rates of consumption require the resources of about 1.6 earths. At this rate, we risk exhausting our planet’s life support systems that provide us with fresh water, nutritious food and clean air.
What 2050 could look like if we don’t do anything about climate change? This doesn’t need an answer.
That is a future unwritten. It’s also worth noting that, in fact, it is entirely up to us whether these hypothetical future beings ever actually come into existence.
So what do we owe the generations to come?
You might answer that since we don’t even owe to them to bring them into existence in the first place, we can’t possibly owe them anything all. Then wouldn’t the people of the future be within their rights to look back at us and ask, ‘Given that you despoiled our planet, why did you even bother bringing us into existence?
Maybe we might actually have an obligation not to bring future people into existence, at least if we’re going to mess things up enough to make their hypothetical lives unbearable.
That would imply that future people count more than us. And who thinks that? Certainly not me. I’m not even sure they count the same as us. That leaves us with only one option. I hate to say it, but future people surely count less than we do—at least a little less.
“What, I am trying to get you to see, is that we have an absolute duty to future generations not to ruin their future planet.”
Think of today’s teeming masses, displaced by violence and climate change, wandering the world in search for a safe harbour.
In comparison to all that present day concrete suffering, the hypothetical suffering of hypothetical future people seems sort of distant and abstract.
I should say that I am actually all for combating climate change. And I am all for weighing both the interests of present people and the interests of future people in the calculus of what is to be done about it. I just don’t think it’s obvious how much weight we should give to the wellbeing of hypothetical future people as opposed to our own.

Now more than ever, the world needs young people to step up to address the many other challenges ahead of us.
It is crucial to engage young people in decision-making – but in parallel – it’s also important for young people to think differently about how they want to engage.
They cannot vote or lobby or run for public office, so politicians have scant incentive to think about them. They can’t bargain or trade with us, so they have little representation in the market, And they can’t make their views heard directly: they can’t tweet, or write articles in newspapers, or march in the streets. They are utterly disenfranchised.
We make laws that govern them, build infrastructure for them and take out loans for them to pay back.
So what happens when we consider future generations while we make decisions today?
Is it really as bad as all that?
Our situation can be summed up as follows:
While facing an extinction event, instead of working toward reversing the march toward climate disaster, in the name of security we are investing in killing each other.
What will it take to unleash the energy and passion of youth leaders and activists to dismantle inequitable systems and work together to build an more inclusive future?
Social media will likely play a role in that revolution—if it doesn’t sink our kids with anxiety and depression first.
Asked young people what changes they want for the future.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE RED LINES.
Incentivize sustainable consumption and penalize production that’s not.
All stakeholders to take urgent action to safeguard nature and future food production.
Sanctions against institutions that resort to internet blackouts to supress citizen freedoms.
Tech companies to be transparent about misinformation and its spread on their platforms.
Governments to implement policies to protect individual citizens against harmful content.
Capacity-building programmes and education to help citizens better identify fake news.
Strengthened laws against media monopolies to protect democratic freedoms.
A Global Convention for Cybersecurity to uphold the integrity of political systems.
A global wealth tax on assets worth more than US$ 50 million to fight growing inequality.
Universities to end the exorbitant tuition fees that stifle social mobility.
Governments to guarantee universal access to mental health services.
Governments to invest in communities most at risk from climate change.
Financial institutions to stop bankrolling companies initiating fossil fuel exploration.
Companies to significantly reduce the GHG emissions of their operations and supply chains to help keep global heating within 1.5°C.
Governments to implement fit-for-purpose policies and regulations on big tech.
Companies to integrate technology ethics into the design of their products and services.
Governments to prioritize the immediate needs of healthcare workers and their families.
Companies to drive digitalization in healthcare services to improve patient care.
Governments to end qualified immunity in law enforcement for police officers.
Increased action against gun violence.
Two critical questions guided these dialogues:
What are the barriers that have hindered progress?
And, what key values, principles and practices will enable us to foster long-lasting systemic impact for the next decade?
As many around the world push for the creation of a more just, equitable and sustainable future we must remember that technology is one of the greatest tools for achieving these goals, but without ethical considerations at the fore… this will likely only perpetuate the very inequalities that we hope to address.
Every generation of teens is shaped by the social, political, and economic events of the day and how fast teens grow up depends on their perceptions of their environment.
For example their ubiquitous use of the iPhone, their valuing of individualism, their economic context of income inequality, their inclusiveness, and more.
Social media is creating an “epidemic of anguish.
We can’t market technologies that capture dopamine, hijack attention, and tether people to a screen, and then wonder why they are lonely and hurting. It makes humanity look like an “imprudent teenager”, with many years ahead, but more power than wisdom.
Fortunately, there are concrete things humanity to day can do.
The field of sustainability is evolving.
For example, if there is any moral weight on future people, then many common societal goals (like faster economic growth) are vastly less important than reducing risks of extinction (like nuclear non-proliferation).
The entire value chain needs to be sustainable, from raw material sourcing to the manufacturing and usage of the products.
Transparency, accountability, trust and a focus on stakeholder capitalism will be key to meeting this generation’s ambitions and expectations. Doing so would help save the lives of people alive today, reduce the risk of technological stagnation and protect humanity’s future.
Our biases toward present, local problems are strong, so connecting emotionally with the ideas can be hard. It’s humbling and inspiring to see the role we can play in protecting the future. We can enjoy life now and safeguard the future for our great grandchildren.
If we name each generation based on the technological conditions it experienced, generations may soon encompass only a few years apiece. Slicing the population into ever-narrower generations, each defined by its very specific relationship to technology, is fundamental to how we think about the relationship between age, culture, and technology.
They include the digital natives, the net generation, the Google generation or the millennials.
All of these terms are being used to highlight the significance and importance of new technologies within the lives of young people. But generation gaps did not begin with the invention of the microchip. What’s new is the fine-slicing of generational divides, the centrality of technology to defining each successive generation.
If the role of technology in shaping an emergent generational consciousness it seems obvious, to imagine a return to the days when sociological generations spanned multiple decades is over. If you believe that technological conditions profoundly shape the life experience and perspectives of each successive generation, then those generations will only get narrower. If we name each generation based on the specific technological conditions it experienced during childhood or adolescence, we may soon be dealing with generations that encompass only a few years apiece.
At that point, the very idea of “generations” will cease to have much utility for social scientists, since it will be very hard to analyse attitudinal or behavioural differences between generations that are just a few years part.
The problem is that all will come at a price. That price is and will be.
The loss of intentional and thoughtful communication techniques to preserve meaningful connections in a society that is becoming more and more reliant on technology.
Be it the metaverse, smart glasses or large language models, the world as we know it may never be quite as we first imagined it, merging into physical and digital spaces.
While the internet offers unparalleled convenience and connectivity, it is essential to recognize its limitations in reproducing the depth of personal interaction found in face-to-face encounters.
—————
Technology will be a vital tool for creating a cleaner, safer and more inclusive world, but what changes can we expect to see?
5G will create a lot of new use cases including drone management, robotic surgery and autonomous vehicles. Large language models will become a given because they lower the cost of artificial intelligence (AI)
Quantum computing merges with classical computing.
Our grandchildren will live in a very different world thanks to the democratization of products and services that are currently only available to the elite or wealthy,
Holographic image in front of you, seen through smart glasses will be your algorithmic world.
No matter what future we leave behind life my advice is life is beautiful-celebrate -celebrate – never give up.
If all of this is hurting your head, let’s just get back to the basics: if there is a secret to life, it might all be down to what we do, not what we are.
