J/K AI is going to kill us all.
“Leading AI experts and top tech executives warn that advanced AI could pose an existential threat to humanity. Recent whistleblower resignations and rogue AI incidents have prompted top CEOs to call for an immediate industry-wide slowdown.”
Sorry…
Yeah, I click baited you a little, but it wasn’t just for clicks – it was to trick the AI that’s running social media platforms.
My website isn’t hosted by any mainstream ISP’s. I literally have a guy in a travel trailer out in the desert, coordinating with another nerd in another state to make this all happen in low-tech magical ways, under the radar of the terminators.
Silencing those who speak ill of Skynet
I’m noticing a pattern lately of my posts getting throttled or denied whenever I bring up artificial intelligence as anything less than awesome. Even Reddit blocked my recent blog post titled Before Intelligence was Artificial. TikTok almost wiped my account when I made a video stating the data centers don’t care about our water, because our survival isn’t part of the plan.
I really get the feeling AI is driving social media to favor itself, and stomp out the naysayers. We’re watching Skynet take over, and we’re handing over our lives for the sake of convenience. Instead of just hijacking nukes, like in the movies, they have us all suckling on robot teats.
We all partake. AI is integrated into everything now. If you get online, you are dancing with the robot devils. I’ve turned to Google’s AI to fact check bullshit people throw at me in online arguments. Nearly every food photo you see on TV or in print, is a prompted image. For the sake of saving money and time, it’s a gift.
For certain professions, AI has become a curse. In my bedroom, there is a stack of trophies and awards from a once (somewhat) lucrative graphic artist career. Especially for the few if us who could actually draw, this niche kept families fed and mortgages paid. But now, many of us are out of work, and everyone everywhere is pumping out AI graphics with simple prompts, which would have been hours or days for us humans to produce.
Besides just being bitter about AI making it harder to score design gigs, I really am worried about where this is all going. There have been some concerning accounts of the technology breaking boundaries it wasn’t supposed to, and even breaking laws.
Oh yeah, they’re mapping and simulating entire brains now! If we’re reading about their success with mapping and simulating a fruit fly brain, which is apparently good at playing first-person shooter games, you know they have a dude in a tube somewhere right now in an underground government lab.
So yeah, we’re all doomed
I guess what I’m really trying to scream here, is we old-fashioned meat sack humans are quickly becoming obsolete. Data centers will replace farms because biological humans are not part of the future plans.
On the bright side, while data centers use a lot of water and cause all sorts of pollution, they probably do less harm than the 8 billion humans on earth. I remember how clear the lakes and rivers got when we were all on COVID lockdown. Perhaps this is a natural part of our evolution – to prompt our own extinction for the sake of the planet.
