Went through the airport for the first time in a long while. Haven’t experienced the facial recognition in practice until now.

Fuck that shit. Gives me the creeps.

TSA is now the Travel Surveillance Agency.

Bad take.

Since when did productive and depraved become an inverse relation to one another. And how can you assume lower castes are more depraved than the productive? It’s not the lower caste (whatever that is) who is responsible for the boom in AI tools being widely developed and dispersed. Nor are they the drivers of this depravation. Evil leaves its mark on everything it touches, not just those less capable.

To whom much is given, much will be required.

Try viewing people on the basis of their individual human dignity and not according to the classification of their circumstances or abilities.

No. View people by what they are, living and breathing Pareto principals. The top 20% will always be better than the bottom 80% and the top 20% will always work to distance themselves from the bottom 80%. Why? Because the bottom 80 can never maintain society the way the top 20 can.

Any productivity benefits to society from AI is void by the sheer depravity these tools will unleash. Go look up “Tilly Norwood” and you’ll see why damn near every sci-fi/fantasy novel is set in a time post thinking-machine Armageddon.

We must not blur the lines between the real and the non real. The war about transgender pronouns is going to appear minuscule compared to the war on reality that’s about to be waged.

The more I see AI develop the more I believe these tools are straight from the pits of hell. I used to think there was a balanced argument between the pros and cons and we could walk the tightrope. I no longer believe it’s possible.

The ceremony of innocence is drowned”

Recently I was listening to an Alan Watts recording and somewhere in the middle I realized it was actually an AI script being read by an AI voice that mimicked Alan Watts' voice. A year from now, I won't be able to catch it. Nothing digital can be trusted as real.

One unsolicited marriage tip. You must never talk bad or complain about your spouse to anyone. Ever. If you have a problem with your spouse you talk to her (or him). When you complain outside of your marriage you weaken yourself and damage your spouse. Don’t do it.

A civilization has died when its citizens start having to put their own furniture together. We used to have artisans and guilds for these kinds of things.

It’s the same reason militaries scout terrain before moving troops. You don’t wander blind into an ambush. You map the field. https://untraceabledigitaldissident.com/how-to-map-a-surveillance-net...

Did this on a walk this evening. Cameras on every house and every corner. Quite astonishing when you pay attention to it. All fed back to the centralized cloud which I’m sure is riddled with doors to every agency and corporation that wants it.
