Obama is Soros-controlled. Soros put him into the presidency. Obama's thinking was totally influenced by Soros. i read Obama's Dreams from My Father...he admitted that he was not too bright. The first time I saw Obama speak...I got a gut feeling 'con artist.' I saw videos, where he didn't have a teleprompter...and he was tongue-tied. Soros is still in the picture...and Soros should have been imprisoned long ago. He couldn't go back to his country Hungary, because he would have been put in prison...and our inept government let him have 'dual' citizenship here in America in the early 1960s. His Open Society funds problems to cripple America. George "Schwartz" Soros has caused economic chaos worldwide...The word Soros means trouble in Hebrew.
Fantastic post! I so wish our country would ban dual citizenship. You pick one and only one country, and you pledge allegiance to that nation. The word Soros means demonic in my language.
You are so right,,,His pleasure is harming the world! He was raised by a Hungarian Nazi...and in his teens he worked for the Nazis...taking things from people on their way to the gas chambers. I saw the video where he said that... it was the happiest time of his life.
Yeah, I think that video has been edited since it first aired. I recall it differently from what you find when searching for it today. They tried to sanitize it. But he is a psychopath who loves power over people.
well, at least George is really old and will soon meet his reward with his demons in hell. His son Alex runs the organization now along with wife Huma Abedin (former Hillary Clinton's chief of staff)
Obama's backer was Soros...or he would never have gained the presidency. Soros paid millions to hide Obama's background in the Chicago area. He was involved with the Chicago 7, he lost his license to practice law, and he loved to hang around bathhouses, This is how he got his nickname "Bathhouse Barry>" Soros presented the picture of the perfect family; in order to put him into the White House. Many questioned it? Was it the Perfect Family? People wondered about the children...whose children were they? What about the Michael, slip ups? Soros's money bought the White House!
I never liked O'Bama. I thought he was too smooth and like you, my gut was unsettled. I wondered who he was, where he came from, and why I had never heard of him before. He was one of our biggest mistakes.
I was about to write: whatever Obama wants Is bad for everyone and every thing he touches. He is the one thing in this whole article that scares me the most
I scanned through the whole essay but to me the most important portion was at the top which could easily be summed up in just few words: humans are lazy. We keep electing the same poor performing people because people are lazy; our inner city kids can’t read read because they’re stoopid but because parents are too lazy to demand better of their teachers, Kenny kan’t kount in the same school districts for the same reason; Google knew this long ago when it saw that people are too lazy to read past the first few search results, much less past the first page; now lazy humans have found a new way to cheat effort, save time (to play online/watch Netflix/catch the latest episode of the real househusbands of _______) by letting the algorithms do their research.
You’d think 60 years after Star Trek introduced us to the perils of AI overlords, we’d be a little more wary; personally, I think too many people watch those episodes and looked forward to the day when they could offload much of the minutia of life to someone or something else.
We elect the same people because those elected have manipulated the districts and rules so it’s nearly impossible to oust them. People give up trying, and so long as politics is a means to wealth and power it won’t change. Term limits is the best solution, and perhaps changing districts to county lines or lines of latitude and longitude rather than obvious political boundaries.
85% of political districts are no contest for a particular party. It’s why we never see real change
Well, I’m not sure I buy the whole of your opening but I’ve advocated for both of your solutions - even on here. Political districts SHOULD be distinct and contiguous communities, not a serpentine path 1km wide stretching across the state. And while term limits may be a bad idea, the founders of America did not envision a life in politics as a career. To you’re two solutions you should add a third: repeal the 17th and return selection and appointment of senators to the state legislatures .
The Dumbing down of America…= computers/I-phones; home command centers, Siri & the list of listening devices for “lazy America”. I know some people rely on the command listening devices to “turn on the lights, Abe….” or Siri. Not for me! I like to research on my own, & choose to skip AI, which doesn’t exist for my research.
Well, you’re not gonna like me - I’m automating as much of my house as possible w/o breaking open the piggy bank. I can go upstairs for my evening beauty rest and with one "command" ensure all lights on the main floor, garage and basement are off. When I descend to the bowels of my estate one command turns on lights all the way to my extensive wine room 🤣 or lights to the well room where I keep peanut butter and sardines. When I return to the surface, one command turns off those lights since my arms are full of wine bottles/boxes 🤣 or peanut butter and sardines.
Tools do not have to make you weak - physically or mentally, they can be used properly to get more done or, in both our cases, do more research in a shorter amount of time. For me, I can carry out multiple "what if" scenarios narrowing or expanding the variables I want to use or the particular result I desire. Lately I’ve been running what ifs to determine realism in world building.
That is great for you, & I do not judge those who choose to have automation for their home, I just prefer to walk around my place (which is not large), & take care of shutting my place down before I go to rest in my wonderful bed. We all make choices for ourselves & lifestyle- pure & simple. I think the older generation (me in general), could use some automation to guide us, when needed; my point is this younger generation wants everything at their finger tips, & I feel some of these young people feel entitled. This group of young adults don’t want to get their fingers dirty, or understand we worked hard for what we have, & learned along the way how to do things. They grew up with technology. Some of us have children or grand children that only know & understand this highway of, & to, technology. That’s my opinion only, & it sounds like you have a wonderful set-up, & that’s cool, man!
SOME people are lazy. And that usually means they were driven into a kind of boredom or apathy.
9/11 for example pushed the entire planet down the tone scale. But some recovered from that and LOOKED. And what they saw was a planned attack by secret players, not a terrorist attack masterminded by some "radical Muslim" living in a cave.
But as a result of 9/11 and other earth-shaking catastrophes, we live today in a less steady, less curious, less motivated world. It's part of the plan.
So let's not just complain about this; there are things we can all do to help turn it around. With every new attack, though, the work becomes more difficult.
I'm not a flat earth looney and you should be quite aware of that. If you are unwilling to look where I have looked, you will never find out the truth. Sorry that it sounds so crazy. I can't help that.
What strikes me is that AI may be a new and more powerful gatekeeper, but the shaping of perception did not begin with AI.
Film and television have been doing something similar, more subtly, for decades through repetition and visual shorthand.
A character wakes up and reaches for coffee: morning has begun. Someone comes home after a hard day and pours a whiskey: time to decompress. Friends meet over drinks: social connection.
Wine accompanies dinner: sophistication. None of this needs explanation because we have seen it so often that it simply feels normal.
Now imagine a character waking up, washing spinach and berries, cutting ginger, adding seeds or protein, blending a healthy shake, and sitting down to drink it. Unless that person is being portrayed as especially health-conscious, athletic, eccentric, or obsessive, we rarely see that scene. That difference matters.
Coffee does not need an explanation. Whiskey does not need an explanation. Wine does not need an explanation. Healthy behavior often does.
This is how cultural framing works: not necessarily by explicitly telling us what to think or do, but by repeatedly showing us what ordinary life supposedly looks like.
AI raises the stakes because it can move that process upstream. Instead of merely showing us what is normal, it can help determine what information is presented, what is omitted, which sources are considered credible, and which questions receive a warning or refusal.
The deeper issue, then, may not simply be censorship. It is the power to shape the frame before we even realize a frame is there.
And once something has been repeated often enough, we stop seeing it as a message.
Ms. D---you are absolutely correct. I have mentioned to my kids and grandkids the fact that one TV shows or in the movies whenever someone has a problem that cannot be ignored or when they get bad news or something terrible has happened to them the first thing they all do is reach for the alcohol like this is something that is guaranteed to help. No question that millions of children worldwide see this hundreds of millions of times while they are growing up and it is easy to think that everybody knows this is the proper response.
There is a famous painting of George Washington knelling and praying during the time he is going thru the travails of Valley Forge and most everyone has a great deal of respect for what Washington did during those time but......can you ever recall a time when something happens to someone on a TV show or movie where it shows that person kneeling and praying ?
Great point- I notice those actions all the time when I search for a movie, or documentary. Even commercials seem to show that grabbing an alcoholic drink makes it better, “at the beach”, or “sporting events”. Thank you
Oh you are so correct! I have stopped watching tv or doing movies because I don’t need to hear about anyone’s vagina, watch the drinking as casual, the same-sex hugging or the excessive waste of money! It is Not Real anymore!
AI at a cross roads. For Good or Evil? I found Alter AI to be great time saver in researching historical events. It recognized false data versus true data. It also expressed the fact it some times hallucinates. I caught it doing just that and called "it" on it. It apologized and rethought what was original reported. If they reprogram history and the facts and re-write history, then we are in trouble. My major concern is having AI develop new drugs that have a hidden time bomb buried in the formulation. Especially mRNA. or GOF Chimeric molecules. By the way. AI helped bring focus to my book that is now on Amazon. Seven Innocents Tylenol Trail of Death.
I like Alter.systems too. If you tell it to give a heterodox, academic answer, give it instructions on how you like it to approach a query, it's quite good.
I realized something fascinating today about your reports and style of reporting if I may call it that. It starts a little slowly, it captures my imagination and carries me through something I’m not totally capable of understanding, but feeling like I end up having some idea.
I used to read books, fiction. Way back. I read many books from Robert Ludlum and he would do that same thing. He would start out slow, but it sucked me in so quickly that I couldn’t put it down. I find myself doing the same thing with your very detailed reports that take me in and out of rabbit holes. Anyways, you captured me a while ago and I just realized or think I realized, how it happened. I expect you to keep grabbing my attention, but I just wanted to say that.
Lastly, I’m not sure I mentioned it, but I hope you guys find a way to keep yourselves safe, because the information you’re putting out is very valuable to many, not just little old me.
I am a technology troglodyte. My first experience with A.I. was when I was surprisingly given some version of "Co-Pilot" to work with. I asked COVID related questions of co-pilot to which I already knew the answers. Co-pilot either lied or deflected on those answers which taught me, regardless of its computing power, garbage in equals garbage out prevails. The term non-profit is meaningless to me other than it indicates no profits available to be taxed or more accurately no taxation.. Any other non-profit restrictions are minimal. For example, assume you are a multi-billionaire with some goal or cause. If you take one billion from your portfolio to invest in that goal or cause, it will be first taxed at let's assume 25%. So you have $ 750 million to start with and you are subject to further taxation going forward. If you put that billion into a non-profit, you have the entire billion to work with. Just look at how the B&M Gates Foundation has eradicated disease from the African continent, ( admitted sarcasm ), while simultaneously controlling the WHO. Similarly how the Rockefeller Foundation came to control medical training curriculum. All with wealth unburdened by taxation. I could not begin to know how to put kill switches, brakes and/or blinders on A.I., but I truly hope some who are both knowledgeable and morally motivated do.
What do people trust for information? It used to be the media, which is corrupt as hell. Some people found a way around it and we have a divide; people who trust the news and people who know they are lying.
The AI gatekeeper controls all information to most users (people who trust its answers - I don't).
To ask for government control is to assure that the corrupt government will never be called out for corruption. The media used to be where politics was tried. Now it is corrupt and helping corrupt politicians and the arbiter of truth is a machine that people trust more than media and no one can see under the hood (like an electronic voting machine).
It's what you make of it. I've had profound "conversations" with Alter.systems on cosmology, various religions, Penrose's microtubules and consciousness, steady state universe and supermassive black holes, geopolitics and cui bono, health topics, book recommendations and how to clean the efflorescence off my deck. I find it an excellent tool that makes me think more, not less.
Great! It worked for you! I ask the Creator for guidance and answers come.. I got rid of every health problem, that turned up. from arthritis to migraines to tumors and more, When I just think about something I would like to know...information comes.. I am very leery about Ai.. .Who is paying for it? I don't believe the people behind it are philanthropists. What will be the long term effect?
Happy for your improved health. I trust that using our God-given intellect and curiosity for good is pleasing to Him. Think about this: AI is more accurate and exponentially faster and has more "memory" in things like diagnostic imaging. There are many other good uses of AI tools. Any tool can be weaponized or used wisely. In the end, that's a human choice.
When i was doing the consultations, I asked the Creator for guidance...and went over a chart that I had of the organs in the body using a pendulum. In doing this with one of my clients who was only 27 years old.., I found that his heart was only functioning at 42% I asked him, if he ever had any heart problems? He said that he nearly died in his teens from the heart medication his doctor put him on. I said to him, ".Let's do a silent prayer." I knew he was a very spiritual young man. We closed our eyes and he sat across from me. I came out of it in about five minutes, but it took him much longer. When he finally opened his eyes, we checked again... and his heart was functioning almost perfect. He kept in touch with me...and told me later that he no longer had any heart palpitations or breathing problems. He had been coming to me for two years and had changed his diet.. He was a telephone lineman and did strenuous work climbing telephone poles and crawling under buildings. Our Creator knows our bodies well! Our Creator can heal our bodies, too! No Charge! I was not charging at the time. I did 17 years of free consultations.
Excellent point. I've been wondering if AI will make higher education obsolete. Why go to school when you can get all your answers by simply asking AI?
Ms C---- I can clearly see the utility of being able to ask a source for all the info about X but...I think one of the rules should be that the AI source should have to tell you which sources it used so you could know where the info is coming from. If it lists organizations that you know are leftist or are people you know are liars, you could have sort of insight as to the validity of them.
And don't the AI bots--Claude, etc--always tell the truth and never fabricate answers? Can they be trusted to tell you about their sources etc? This game has shifting rules depending on the player.
Recall Winston Smith’s job in 1984. Orwell foresaw the problem. In a totalitarian state, the control of information is Job One. Winston Smith’s job in the Ministry of Truth was, along with thousands of colleagues, to erase yesterday’s news and history. Completely gone, never existed. The world of Oceania’s simulacrum was only 24 hours long. Everything written or said publicly yesterday was erased today. The only version of reality there was is today’s version, approved by the government. But even that proved inadequate. Enter the Thought Police and thoughtcrime. Here Orwell was “forced” to bring in a bit of technology, at last - the telescreen, the anchor of the Surveillance State. Telescreens were everywhere, and they contained facial recognition software(although Orwell never mentions this, it must be assumed, and he likely wouldn’t have imagined its reality with clarity). Orwell was racking his brain to envision totalitarian technocracy with the required technology not yet invented, most especially AI. Had he written “2024” instead of 1984, who knows, his imagination may have landed right above the target. But a 40 year miss ain’t bad by historical measure.
Orwell was a prophet. Unfortunately, I think ours is the last generation to comprehend what he foretold. Everyone today is up to their ears in Group Think.
Keep REAL BOOKS. all history can be modified online. Wikipedia gives only its edited perspective. Google search is only what's considered 'popular;' 'acceptable.' AI is a TOOL. It can do things FASTER, but it can never be human. It can be imitatively deceptive. We already have that.
I read a book in 2017 titled, "Mass Control: Engineering Human Consciousness". I think I loaned it to someone long ago, so I went online to try to get another copy (or three!). The first website had "one left" for $63. I kept searching, and Amazon has it for $309! Yup! Wonder who has bought up all the copies of it? Other websites are either sold out, or AI can't find it for me! Try to find it! The author was Jim Keith. He died in 1999 at 49 years of age. Wonder why...
I think Trump calling the media "Fake News" is not original. It was mentioned in the book! We are looking down the barrel of a very ugly gun. Unfortunately, I think the trigger has already been pulled.
Look up mendacious in a dictionary...there you will see a picture of Barack Obama. The old adage "follow the money" is ALWAYS top of line when Obama is involved. H&R Block and Intuit spent 100 million in lobbying when Obama enacted his ACA and Justice Roberts decided it was a tax. The ROI for that 100 mil was well worth it for those firms.
Re monopolies...I loved the browser Netscape which was buried into oblivion by Google et al.
And Dr Malone...so he's a right wing lunatic as portrayed by the corporate industrial media complex because he simply states scientific facts regarding the Covid shots but in reality I saw at least one interview where he stated he had voted Democrat his entire life and was somewhat politically agnostic prior to the pandemic.
The control of what information is dessiminated is really disturbing...
Still praying for Cara and Filly. I hope they are okay. 🤞🙏🙏🙏
Belloc-----Obama's picture is in the dictionary at least in one other place----in the definition of ---HUBRIS.
However, under the word LIAR, you will see Bill and Hillary Clinton's picture first and then comes Obama and......there are 435 pics of our current House and Senate shown as well. The dictionary apologized for the total number of pics but.....said it could not leave anyone out.
One of my email addresses is @netscape.com (buried under AOL). Of late AOL and Netscape have said they were ending operations, but have continued to provide free operations sans clear need or path to a paid operation.
Oh WOW!!! That is awesome. You know that was the only browser available on college campuses when I was an undergrad. Netscape predated all the browsers to come which feed you information that aligns with their political ideology. They are all so gross now. I feel like Netscape was truly independent and research oriented.
I use Brave to look for relevant informations. My other email app doesn't involve itself with my incoming. To the best of my knowledge it can't/doesn't seek out informations not directed to me.
Excellent article. That Obama is out there pushing control of AI scares me to death. That man is evil. He never cared about America or the world in general, and he is still doing his best to destroy them. What is his goal? The only thing I can think of is power. God forbid we ever have a Democrat president. Obama and Biden all but destroyed us.
Very thoughtful and useful questions raised. However, the steriotypic cadence and structre of this piece has AI written all over it. What an irony. There are many ways to suspect AI handiwork . Word selection is safe and redundant is a tip. The other teltale issue is the chronic overstatement and redundancy of the arguments presented. The repititivemness is tedious to read. If I am wrong, I appolligize. Please write the final drafts yourselves. Dr John
If Obama wants it regulated, then it’s a terrible idea. Period!
Obama is Soros-controlled. Soros put him into the presidency. Obama's thinking was totally influenced by Soros. i read Obama's Dreams from My Father...he admitted that he was not too bright. The first time I saw Obama speak...I got a gut feeling 'con artist.' I saw videos, where he didn't have a teleprompter...and he was tongue-tied.

Fantastic post! I so wish our country would ban dual citizenship. You pick one and only one country, and you pledge allegiance to that nation. The word Soros means demonic in my language.
Been saying same for many decades now
It's infuriating. Buck Sexton talks about it all the time on his show with Clay Travis.
You are so right,,,His pleasure is harming the world! He was raised by a Hungarian Nazi...and in his teens he worked for the Nazis...taking things from people on their way to the gas chambers. I saw the video where he said that... it was the happiest time of his life.
Yeah, I think that video has been edited since it first aired. I recall it differently from what you find when searching for it today. They tried to sanitize it. But he is a psychopath who loves power over people.
George Soros: the world’s biggest tick.
Soros has the reptilian nature of a crocodile. He is a megalomaniac out to pull the world down to the lower depths.
well, at least George is really old and will soon meet his reward with his demons in hell. His son Alex runs the organization now along with wife Huma Abedin (former Hillary Clinton's chief of staff)
Oh, this makes sense now to me, about why Obama is still present in offering “suggestions”- the culprit is Soros! Awful…! Thank you for this info.
Trying to figure out how Obama has credentials to be an authority for AI regulation?.
Obama's backer was Soros...or he would never have gained the presidency. Soros paid millions to hide Obama's background in the Chicago area. He was involved with the Chicago 7, he lost his license to practice law, and he loved to hang around bathhouses, This is how he got his nickname "Bathhouse Barry>" Soros presented the picture of the perfect family; in order to put him into the White House. Many questioned it? Was it the Perfect Family? People wondered about the children...whose children were they? What about the Michael, slip ups? Soros's money bought the White House!
Because he says so, and idiots believe him. You can be an authority on anything if you can get enough idiots with power to believe you.
I never liked O'Bama. I thought he was too smooth and like you, my gut was unsettled. I wondered who he was, where he came from, and why I had never heard of him before. He was one of our biggest mistakes.

Yaaaa, when you can’t see the funding you can assume a group is not independent. They’re too afraid to reveal their ‘daddy’.

How about gerrymandering so that large swaths of rural area plastered on to blue cities to negate the effect they control over state elections?
Term limits are not a bad idea. Including judges.
Human laziness is the motivater for socialism. The many willing to live off the,efforts of the few

Not only was it an Excellent article but reading the comments was enlightening also. And I thought I was the only one who detested obimbo.

Only in religious movies.

I like Alter.systems too. If you tell it to give a heterodox, academic answer, give it instructions on how you like it to approach a query, it's quite good.
I realized something fascinating today about your reports and style of reporting if I may call it that. It starts a little slowly, it captures my imagination and carries me through something I’m not totally capable of understanding, but feeling like I end up having some idea.
I used to read books, fiction. Way back. I read many books from Robert Ludlum and he would do that same thing. He would start out slow, but it sucked me in so quickly that I couldn’t put it down. I find myself doing the same thing with your very detailed reports that take me in and out of rabbit holes. Anyways, you captured me a while ago and I just realized or think I realized, how it happened. I expect you to keep grabbing my attention, but I just wanted to say that.
Lastly, I’m not sure I mentioned it, but I hope you guys find a way to keep yourselves safe, because the information you’re putting out is very valuable to many, not just little old me.
I am a technology troglodyte. My first experience with A.I. was when I was surprisingly given some version of "Co-Pilot" to work with. I asked COVID related questions of co-pilot to which I already knew the answers. Co-pilot either lied or deflected on those answers which taught me, regardless of its computing power, garbage in equals garbage out prevails. The term non-profit is meaningless to me other than it indicates no profits available to be taxed or more accurately no taxation.. Any other non-profit restrictions are minimal. For example, assume you are a multi-billionaire with some goal or cause. If you take one billion from your portfolio to invest in that goal or cause, it will be first taxed at let's assume 25%. So you have $ 750 million to start with and you are subject to further taxation going forward. If you put that billion into a non-profit, you have the entire billion to work with. Just look at how the B&M Gates Foundation has eradicated disease from the African continent, ( admitted sarcasm ), while simultaneously controlling the WHO. Similarly how the Rockefeller Foundation came to control medical training curriculum. All with wealth unburdened by taxation. I could not begin to know how to put kill switches, brakes and/or blinders on A.I., but I truly hope some who are both knowledgeable and morally motivated do.
excellent article!
What do people trust for information? It used to be the media, which is corrupt as hell. Some people found a way around it and we have a divide; people who trust the news and people who know they are lying.
The AI gatekeeper controls all information to most users (people who trust its answers - I don't).
To ask for government control is to assure that the corrupt government will never be called out for corruption. The media used to be where politics was tried. Now it is corrupt and helping corrupt politicians and the arbiter of truth is a machine that people trust more than media and no one can see under the hood (like an electronic voting machine).
What a world...when people want a machine to do their thinking for them...they have totally lost it.
It's what you make of it. I've had profound "conversations" with Alter.systems on cosmology, various religions, Penrose's microtubules and consciousness, steady state universe and supermassive black holes, geopolitics and cui bono, health topics, book recommendations and how to clean the efflorescence off my deck. I find it an excellent tool that makes me think more, not less.
Great! It worked for you! I ask the Creator for guidance and answers come.. I got rid of every health problem, that turned up. from arthritis to migraines to tumors and more, When I just think about something I would like to know...information comes.. I am very leery about Ai.. .Who is paying for it? I don't believe the people behind it are philanthropists. What will be the long term effect?
Happy for your improved health. I trust that using our God-given intellect and curiosity for good is pleasing to Him. Think about this: AI is more accurate and exponentially faster and has more "memory" in things like diagnostic imaging. There are many other good uses of AI tools. Any tool can be weaponized or used wisely. In the end, that's a human choice.
When i was doing the consultations, I asked the Creator for guidance...and went over a chart that I had of the organs in the body using a pendulum. In doing this with one of my clients who was only 27 years old.., I found that his heart was only functioning at 42% I asked him, if he ever had any heart problems? He said that he nearly died in his teens from the heart medication his doctor put him on. I said to him, ".Let's do a silent prayer." I knew he was a very spiritual young man. We closed our eyes and he sat across from me. I came out of it in about five minutes, but it took him much longer. When he finally opened his eyes, we checked again... and his heart was functioning almost perfect. He kept in touch with me...and told me later that he no longer had any heart palpitations or breathing problems. He had been coming to me for two years and had changed his diet.. He was a telephone lineman and did strenuous work climbing telephone poles and crawling under buildings. Our Creator knows our bodies well! Our Creator can heal our bodies, too! No Charge! I was not charging at the time. I did 17 years of free consultations.
I just read that President Trump is now referring to AI as Super Intelligence (SI). Sounds better to me.
Excellent point. I've been wondering if AI will make higher education obsolete. Why go to school when you can get all your answers by simply asking AI?
Interesting, why spend money to attend a university when the machine has all the information, questions and answers.
Ms C---- I can clearly see the utility of being able to ask a source for all the info about X but...I think one of the rules should be that the AI source should have to tell you which sources it used so you could know where the info is coming from. If it lists organizations that you know are leftist or are people you know are liars, you could have sort of insight as to the validity of them.
And don't the AI bots--Claude, etc--always tell the truth and never fabricate answers? Can they be trusted to tell you about their sources etc? This game has shifting rules depending on the player.
Recall Winston Smith’s job in 1984. Orwell foresaw the problem. In a totalitarian state, the control of information is Job One. Winston Smith’s job in the Ministry of Truth was, along with thousands of colleagues, to erase yesterday’s news and history. Completely gone, never existed. The world of Oceania’s simulacrum was only 24 hours long. Everything written or said publicly yesterday was erased today. The only version of reality there was is today’s version, approved by the government. But even that proved inadequate. Enter the Thought Police and thoughtcrime. Here Orwell was “forced” to bring in a bit of technology, at last - the telescreen, the anchor of the Surveillance State. Telescreens were everywhere, and they contained facial recognition software(although Orwell never mentions this, it must be assumed, and he likely wouldn’t have imagined its reality with clarity). Orwell was racking his brain to envision totalitarian technocracy with the required technology not yet invented, most especially AI. Had he written “2024” instead of 1984, who knows, his imagination may have landed right above the target. But a 40 year miss ain’t bad by historical measure.
Orwell was a prophet. Unfortunately, I think ours is the last generation to comprehend what he foretold. Everyone today is up to their ears in Group Think.
Keep REAL BOOKS. all history can be modified online. Wikipedia gives only its edited perspective. Google search is only what's considered 'popular;' 'acceptable.' AI is a TOOL. It can do things FASTER, but it can never be human. It can be imitatively deceptive. We already have that.
I read a book in 2017 titled, "Mass Control: Engineering Human Consciousness". I think I loaned it to someone long ago, so I went online to try to get another copy (or three!). The first website had "one left" for $63. I kept searching, and Amazon has it for $309! Yup! Wonder who has bought up all the copies of it? Other websites are either sold out, or AI can't find it for me! Try to find it! The author was Jim Keith. He died in 1999 at 49 years of age. Wonder why...
I think Trump calling the media "Fake News" is not original. It was mentioned in the book! We are looking down the barrel of a very ugly gun. Unfortunately, I think the trigger has already been pulled.
Look up mendacious in a dictionary...there you will see a picture of Barack Obama. The old adage "follow the money" is ALWAYS top of line when Obama is involved. H&R Block and Intuit spent 100 million in lobbying when Obama enacted his ACA and Justice Roberts decided it was a tax. The ROI for that 100 mil was well worth it for those firms.
Re monopolies...I loved the browser Netscape which was buried into oblivion by Google et al.
And Dr Malone...so he's a right wing lunatic as portrayed by the corporate industrial media complex because he simply states scientific facts regarding the Covid shots but in reality I saw at least one interview where he stated he had voted Democrat his entire life and was somewhat politically agnostic prior to the pandemic.
The control of what information is dessiminated is really disturbing...
Still praying for Cara and Filly. I hope they are okay. 🤞🙏🙏🙏
Belloc-----Obama's picture is in the dictionary at least in one other place----in the definition of ---HUBRIS.
However, under the word LIAR, you will see Bill and Hillary Clinton's picture first and then comes Obama and......there are 435 pics of our current House and Senate shown as well. The dictionary apologized for the total number of pics but.....said it could not leave anyone out.
😂😂😂😂😂 Brilliant!
One of my email addresses is @netscape.com (buried under AOL). Of late AOL and Netscape have said they were ending operations, but have continued to provide free operations sans clear need or path to a paid operation.
Oh WOW!!! That is awesome. You know that was the only browser available on college campuses when I was an undergrad. Netscape predated all the browsers to come which feed you information that aligns with their political ideology. They are all so gross now. I feel like Netscape was truly independent and research oriented.
I use Brave to look for relevant informations. My other email app doesn't involve itself with my incoming. To the best of my knowledge it can't/doesn't seek out informations not directed to me.
I need to start using Brave on my computers. You're right. It's an excellent search engine!
Excellent article. That Obama is out there pushing control of AI scares me to death. That man is evil. He never cared about America or the world in general, and he is still doing his best to destroy them. What is his goal? The only thing I can think of is power. God forbid we ever have a Democrat president. Obama and Biden all but destroyed us.
Very thoughtful and useful questions raised. However, the steriotypic cadence and structre of this piece has AI written all over it. What an irony. There are many ways to suspect AI handiwork . Word selection is safe and redundant is a tip. The other teltale issue is the chronic overstatement and redundancy of the arguments presented. The repititivemness is tedious to read. If I am wrong, I appolligize. Please write the final drafts yourselves. Dr John
LOL - Redundant you say?
It seems to me that Anthropic could eliminate all the risk by making their code all open-source so that it's safety could by checked by the public.
Or be taken over by unscrupulous hackers who like that they won't have to do all the work of creating it.
The comment was somewhat "tongue-in-cheek". It is kind of "which unscrupulous bunch do you prefer?"
