Where are we headed?

UnShaven

About 50% of the chicks in the NSFW thread in the Watercooler are AI.

I called out a couple egregious ones where the lighting was all wrong - one had a third leg tucked under her and six fingers on one hand, and another that had huge knuckled hands like a pro wrestler and an extra thumb - both had that all to perfect, something Stepford Wives thing going on too.

Not going to spoil their fun by mentioning it when I see it but it’s rampant.

Just called one out there this morning.

UnShaven about a year ago I saw a news story about how some older white guy was using some type of filter to make him look like a smoking hot Asian girl on camera. Whatever movement he made, made it look like he was some hot, sultry, sexy girl. He made a ton of money on his webcam. Then it glitched and exposed him. I wouldn’t doubt that a lot of people are doing this.

Buck I just don’t think you fully grasp AI and where it already is.
If AI took one look at your financials it could predict your spending behavior for the next 60 days within 97% accuracy most likely.
AI and pizza shops isn’t a thing and doesn’t need to be, AI making policy at the federal government level is a thing and could very well be taking place already.
The beat analogy for you look at is the movie Minority Report- now think about AI.
It’s here.

An extra thumb you say?

Donatos uses AI to take orders Don and it absolutely sucks.

Buck it doesn’t matter, corporations are going to use AI and so are governments. Especially today’s governments and this fascist nonsense.

Buck

My point is that there are many hurdles and variables before we enter this world you are talking about. It’s not a given nor is it a straight shot.

Buck most people don’t realize AI is doing these things as I type

AI stuff that most people don’t realize

Financial Trading Over half of U.S. financial firms rely on AI for stock market trading and developing investment strategies by analyzing vast datasets for trends undetectable by humans.
Seeing Through Walls MIT’s RF-Pose technology uses wireless signals like Wi-Fi to “see” human movement through walls and even detect heartbeats and breathing patterns, sensitive enough to distinguish different emotional states.
Mind Reading Researchers have developed AI models that can interpret brain signals (via fMRI and brainwave data) and reconstruct images a person was looking at or even turn interpreted brain signals into speech for those with impairments.

So you have to be under magnetic resonance imaging? Interesting. I can see how that certainly applies to the masses.

Here is the thing about capitalism. If people don’t have money to buy shit then there really isn’t anything to analyze. The consumer rules the day forever. Bludgeon the consumer at your own peril. AI can’t feel hunger or the cold rain. It can’t worry about a child. These are human motivators that have built and destroyed nations. AI can’t know the story. Can’t feel the pain.

Are you disputing the physicist’s main point?

But we now have evidence that if they are created by companies motivated by short-term profits, our safety will not be the top priority.

We live in a turn-key police state now, with enough of everyone’s personal information floating around ripe for the taking. Relying on capitalism alone won’t cut it.

DonnyUv2

BabetteBaboon and frankly these fascist aren’t concerned with people spending money since these fascists have 90% of the worlds money. Submission of the masses is easier when the masses cannot eat or aren’t healthy.

Freedom mixed with AI is like Bleach mixed with vinegar

BabetteBaboon

Is safety and liability not a concern now?

Of course it is. Why would these entities be exempt from liability?

BabetteBaboon

The collapse of end stage capitalism is coming into view now, and you don’t have to squint very hard to see it.

We have a built the biggest consumption-led consumer society in the history of the world. We can only guess what will happen if our lower and middle classes experience the biggest generation over generation deterioration of living standards ever.

Constant surveillance is super creepy and certainly incompatible with freedom.

It’s impossible to ignore the truth. The move to The New World Order is being accelerated. Alt-right authoritarian regimes are gaining power around the world. The flow of money and power are all streaming toward the wealthiest of the wealthy. The tech-bros are pushing their agenda and AI will accelerate the transition to 1984.

The problem is… the world is full of scumbags. That’s why we have two-level and 3-level logins, spyware, anti-virus, anti-ransomware, deep fake shit targeting old people, pedophiles on the hunt… AI is going to make them harder to detect. The world is a very shitty place. No problem for me, but I feel sorry for the dwindling number of decent people out there.

Buck

My drones will kick your AI’s azz!!

Now if AI gets control of the drones…oh whole helly hole that will be. Be like galactica. Hyperspace is the only thing that can save you and who in the lower classes can afford hyperspace?

Buck

UFOs are the ones. At some point, some entity, somewhere will decide that our time is up and the experiment is over.

They are here. They just not fascist like ICE.
