My thoughts on political and social consequences of big data algorithms, on the surveillance state and the development of artificial intelligence. - AI is not a fate that "happens to us". AI is planned ahead as final means to gain global dominance. – And our thoughts will have no chance to suss the filter bubble we live in.
iHuman is a landmark in documenting interviews on artificial intelligence. – But it leaves it to the viewer to realize the frightening truth from the interviews. So I wrote a film tie-in booklet to debunk 'AGI' more clearly.
Not science and technology are threats to humanity. Threats are about sociology. – All of Hawking's threat statements are populist without any substantial analysis and they obscure all real causes.
Lanier recommends a rational view on artificial intelligence, focused on practical, professional results. – But is his downplaying tactical, denying the political strategic plan behind AI?
PART II – My comments on the funding of the non-profit research company OpenAI. – My thoughts on oversight over development of AI and big data algorithms. – OpenAI's attempts to distract from the real threats.
PART I – Is artificial super intelligence the inevitable fate of humanity or simply wishful thinking of a dark political force? – At any rate the idea of ASI is about manipulation of our perception, of thinking and behavior.
The drone war's never ending kill list can only be compared with the permanence of the Gulag system's kill list. Its high- tech and its historical ultimacy make the drone war a crime without precedent - ignored in the filter bubble we live in.
Will the godspeed address for interstellar space colonization be like this?: "Good luck! In five thousand years we will meet again. Perhaps then with opposing precepts what humanity should be. So, please stay peaceable!" – Of course it will not.
John Kornblum's deceptions about the Ukraine conflict. – The historical guilt of the Adenauer Foundation. – The happily defused tinderbox of the Crimean peninsula. – The final splitting of Europe under the rule of a strategic think tank.
The origins of my design "Joe the Eyelethead".
The algorithm is the new God of our time, the algorithm that predicts and manipulates the peoples' thoughts, that adjusts any opinion and any social behaviour.
