The Man Who Would Be Savior…

Musk predicts AI will create ‘universal high income’ and make saving money unnecessary [More]

To each according to his wants, from each unearned demands?

Kids in candy stores will eat themselves sick. And look at all the miserable celebrities. With the judgment and intelligence exhibited by most, expect deaths from surfeit to skyrocket.

This seems like a purposeless existence where nothing is earned and everything is considered an entitlement. And since when is being a welfare parasite elevating for either the individual or the populace?

Who owns the means of production in this Utopia, and what do they expect in return?

Who will rule?

Sounds like somebody’s been influenced by too much Trekonomics.

When Seconds Count

“If it gives us one to three, four minutes that we’ve got someone with a weapon walking across that parking lot… ” [More]

And all someone needs to do to get even more of a jump on the system is not pull his gun until he’s ready to shoot…?

The reality deniers will happily spend your money on all kinds of useless distractions as long as it lets them avoid mentioning the one thing that would actually make a difference.

Me, I’m waiting for one of those AI “hallucinations” we hear about to get an innocent blown away by panicky “first responders”…

Tangentially-Related UPDATES

Speaking of hallucinations…

And I recently had to post a correction for trusting AI.

Meanwhile, Over at the Department of Pre-Crime…

“It scrapes the internet 24/7 using an Israeli grade ontology to pull specific threat language and then routes it to local law enforcement. It’s a 24/7 detective that never sleeps and it’s going to get us in front of these attacks.” [More]

And we already know who the algorithm considers to be the greatest threat.

So, where do they keep the precogs in the photon milk bath?

We all know the lesson of the Palantir, right?

And who’s beholden to Peter Thiel…?

We’re the Only Ones Robotic Enough

Transforming public safety in Thailand: Deploying AI police cyborgs with AWS Cloud solutions [More]

I don’t think “cyborg” is the right term for strictly mechanical devices, but the point is made.

I do wonder what Pol. Col. Nakhonpathom Plod Phai is prepared to do against lethal armed aggressors who don’t obey all those commonsense gun safety laws”…

Too bad they cane people there. I was just thinking if they’d had these when I was in college, me and my buddies would have figured out a way to pants it.

You Have Their Assurance

“Every job is going to change pretty radically, and I think many of them in the next year,” Hyams said, explaining that empathy will be a sought-after skill alongside “having a curiosity and an openness and maybe even a veracity to learn new things.” [More]

And if we’re talking about a sociopathic workforce that is essentially illiterate, untrainable, and dangerous to have around…? Anybody cleared this with the urban Democrats?

And anybody ask why human CEOs are needed?

The hubris of these guys is astonishing. As is the fact that they’re proceeding on something that could kill us all with no checks and balances.

Right, we’re going to colonize the galaxy in 2030. Ever hear of Captain Dunsel?

Out of Work

She continued: “And the biggest fear is if you look at the economy, A.I. is going to replace jobs from all kinds of sectors. And if A.I. replaces these jobs and states are not able to regulate and make laws to protect their citizens … we’re going to see poverty on a level we’ve never seen before. Unemployment will be out the roof, and it will destroy our economy.” [More]

That’s why the elites who will benefit from that have been making noises about “Guaranteed Annual Income,” which will leave the masses beholden to them for handouts. That it can’t last forever and that useful idiots soon become useless eaters is something they’d rather not have examined.

But don’t worry– Big Tech will still need human workers for a while.

Checkmate?

If somebody builds a too-powerful AI, under present conditions, I expect that every single member of the human species and all biological life on Earth dies shortly thereafter. [More]

Brought to you by the same unconstrained types who almost killed everyone with gain of function Russian Roulette.

Good luck getting governments to cooperate instead of racing for advantage. We must not allow a mine shaft gap!

This is literal insanity– we’re talking the same legal system that said guns could be banned in national parks because there hadn’t been an environmental impact study.

So, are we supposed to trust that God won’t let this happen, or does God intend for us to have a role to play?

The Human Factor

When asked how companies can prevent espionage, Steinman conceded it’s challenging but emphasized that rigorous and selective hiring practices are key. “You just have to be very mindful of who you’re hiring and where you are putting them in your company,” Steinman told Hoffman. “You need to be realistic about who your employees are.” [More]

It’s like you could extend that “rigorous” principle to other areas…

Body and Soul

‘Spare’ human bodies grown in artificial wombs in lab as scientists insist ‘bodyoids’ feel no pain & can serve as ‘MEAT’ [More]

Charlesworth, Greely, and Nakauchi to Mengele: Hold our beers.

So abortion on demand was analogous to a gateway drug? When human life can be reduced to this extent with government sanction, what isn’t off limits?

And if a “bodyoid”(see, call it something else and extermination is easy!) doesn’t have awareness, is it really rape or pederasty? Meld that with the AI “behaviors” we see being developed in humanoid robots to “animate” the lab specimens, and the science fiction horror movie replete with a programmed sex/service/soldier slave population writes itself.

And just remember: Asimov didn’t factor in hacking.

Are these wannabe Frankensteins really that confident there is no God? Or do they know and have made their choices regardless?

The Exceptions to the Rule

A bill to be entitled An act relating to the use of artificial intelligence to detect firearms; creating s. 790.34, F.S.; prohibiting the use of artificial intelligence to detect firearms in public areas; providing criminal penalties; providing exceptions; providing an effective date. [More]

Don’t worry, predators, there’ll still be plenty of “gun-free zones” being enforced…

TITO

DeepSeek starts writing: “The famous picture you’re referring to is known as “Tank Man” or “The Unknown Rebel.” It was taken on June 5, 1989, during the Tiananmen…” before a message abruptly appears reading “Sorry, that’s beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else.” [More]

Tyranny In, Tyranny Out.

Not that the GIGO stocks shouldn’t crash…
