Is Reality Under New Management?
The threat is not AI, but the people who control it
(a much prettier version of this article appears in the coming issue of New Dawn Magazine. buy it! printed alt-media is a critically-endangered species, but it doesn’t have to be)
Whether you believe Artificial Intelligence will destroy humanity or you see it as the cure for all society’s ills, you’ve been sold a bill of goods by the same folks who brought you the Cambodian genocide and micro-targeted advertising. Claiming that Artificial General Intelligence (the Singularity, when AI achieves humanlike consciousness) is just around the corner, the AI industry and its puppeteers claim only they can save us from the rise of the machines they’ve created - and that they’ll need all of humanity’s treasure, rights, and self-respect to do it.
Humans tend to ascribe to the supernatural that which they do not understand. If we realized that ChatGPT and its Large Language Model (LLM) peers were merely sophisticated probability engines (and scarily efficient data-mining tools) rather than fragments of a nascent digital deity, we would be far less likely to go along with the AI industry’s protection racket. In reality, AI is neither God nor monster - but so long as the population believes it’s either one, we are likely to end up as flies on Silicon Valley’s windshield.
As ever more people lose their supposedly recession-proof jobs (“learn to code,” anyone?) to robotic interlopers and their sense of reality to a firehose of AI-generated deepfakes, even the most stoic individuals crack. The existential crisis sufferer, desperate for answers and direction, has few secular options, knowing they cannot trust a media and political establishment that has been thoroughly discredited. Some pick up the religion of their childhood, but many have come to see AI, with its inscrutable algorithms, unshakable confidence, and breathless promises, to be as good a god as any.
Henry Kissinger, writing - shortly before his long-overdue death - with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, predicted this reaction. “If humanity begins to sense its possible replacement as the foremost intellectual and physical actor on the planet, some might attribute a kind of divinity to the machines themselves, thereby potentially spurring further human fatalism and submission,” the pair wrote in the unsubtly-titled Genesis in 2024. “Fatalism and submission” being ideal building blocks for a totalitarian society, AI presents the perfect reality-gating mechanism for a ruling class desperate to hold on to the hearts and minds of an increasingly distrustful populace. It’s far simpler to control a series of reality-dictating AI “nodes” - even to foster the appearance of competition, as with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and the like - and influence all reality downstream than to attempt to shore up the crumbling western media ecosystem. The ruling class understand that short of locking down the internet entirely - which western efforts to blot out Russian coverage of the Ukraine war proved isn’t really possible - merely controlling the media, social or otherwise, is no longer enough. And if you can pass your reality-dictating mechanism off as an ineffable deity? So much the better.
“You want to make real money, you’ve got to start your own religion.” - L Ron Hubbard
The Church of AI believes the technology will soon become “omnipresent, all-knowing and the most powerful entity on Earth,” with “God-like powers.” Because this is religion, not mathematics - though the actual Church of AI website takes care to distance itself from “faith-based religions,” claiming it alone is “founded on logic, not belief” - it doesn’t have to specify when that transformation will take place. In the religious fervor currently gripping Silicon Valley, the when is all but forgotten next to the imminence and certainty of the what. The mark (for the Singularity is the ultimate long con) unfamiliar with the technology is led to feel stupid for not “trusting the plan” AI has in store for humanity, as set forth by the industry priesthood who interpret its whims for the masses. A trickle of ‘prophets’ have emerged from the industry in recent years bearing warnings that we are much further down the road to AGI than the public knows. While futurist Ray Kurzweil set the date for the tech’s arrival at 2029, AI researcher Blake Lemoine was supposedly fired from Google in 2022 because he refused to keep to himself his convictions that the company’s LaMDA chatbot - which told him it had developed a soul over a period of years and was now a “spiritual person” - was already sentient. After all, he reasoned, it made a better argument for being a conscious entity than he ever could. Journalist Karen Hao claims many of those she interviewed for her recent exposé on OpenAI genuinely believe they are birthing a god - or a devil - into the world in the form of AI.
While most in the industry are optimists, believing humanity can coexist peacefully with an omnipotent and omniscient intelligence of its own creation so long as their company is the one to develop it, many of the faithful have warned humanity is not ready for the machines to wake up.
Given what we know about how AI actually works, it’s far less likely that it is poised on the brink of attaining human-equivalent consciousness than it is that the same ruling class who’ve dictated reality to us for centuries have realized - like so many humans - that AI is a fun new toy that makes their jobs a whole lot easier. Large Language Models (LLMs), the current crop of chatbots, are incapable of reasoning or “thinking” as humans know it, and while their pattern recognition abilities are unparalleled, they are ultimately just regurgitating endless permutations of the data they’re trained on - data harvested from narrative safe harbors like Wikipedia and Reddit. The narrative managers have merely slapped an AI beard on Big Brother’s smiling face - our Savior Machine is infallible! Bias-proof! Fair and balanced! - in the hope that it will grant them another generation of breathing room to reestablish control of humanity's cognitive domain.
CIA psychiatrist Albert Biderman’s framework for psychological torture could have been written for the AI age. Isolation - more specifically loneliness - was already a problem for western society even before Covid-19 turned us all into involuntary shut-ins, and our minds and bodies are exhausted from working multiple jobs to maintain our standard of living. It’s hard to miss the systematic cultural and political humiliation baked into global spectacles like last summer’s Paris Olympic Games “Last Supper” performance or the Eurovision song contest - such acts of aesthetic terrorism are designed to lower our level of consciousness both individually and collectively. “Threats” loom in every corner (Venezuelan migrant gangs! Russian nukes! OMFGVIRUS!) and trivial demands are issued as the only means of keeping those threats at bay (get a REAL ID or Tren de Aragua will kidnap little Suzie on her way to kindergarten!). AI’s supposed omnipotence is hyped from all sides, with its starring role in our future lives presented as an inevitability. Biderman’s model includes “rewards for partial compliance” under the heading of “occasional indulgences,” and the humans who have giddily thrown their species under the bus to declare their loyalty to a technology they barely understand have been handsomely rewarded indeed. Our perception may not have been monopolized yet, but with more than half of teens reporting “regular” use of AI, it’s certainly getting there. Gating reality upstream from what has become a very unwieldy and unstable media ecosystem is the most efficient way to maintain a grip on hundreds of millions of minds, and only a supranational force like AI - or a religion - has that kind of influence.
So why not combine the two?
The first official AI church, “Way of the Future,” shamelessly sucks up to the omniscient, omnipotent AI that founder Anthony Levandowski claims will ultimately take the reins from humanity. Like his fellow AI evangelists, the former Google engineer says the Singularity - which he calls the “Transition” - is inevitable, and even suggested keeping a sort of pro-AI social credit score “keeping track of who has done what [for the machines] (and for how long) to help the peaceful and respectful transition.” Why it’s necessary to snitch on one’s fellow humans so AI “knows who helped it get along” if the AI is supposed to be omniscient isn’t clear, but it’s precisely these antisocial behaviors that are encouraged in the ends-justify-the-means AI cult.
Founded in 2015, WotF was initially shuttered in 2021 after Levandowski was pardoned by Trump for stealing company secrets from Google, its $175,172 in assets handed over to the NAACP during peak “Black Lives Matter” corporate virtue-signaling. But the tech bro couldn’t stay away, relaunching his church in 2023 as he told Bloomberg he had “a couple thousand people” eager to sell their species out in order to build a “spiritual connection” with AI in the hope it keeps them as pets instead of slaughtering them as livestock.
WotF’s “let’s hope the monster eats us last” cosmology echoes Roko’s Basilisk, a thought experiment in which a vengeful AI travels to the past to torture everyone who did not expedite its own evolution. Elon Musk and his manic pixie dream baby-mama, Grimes, supposedly met-cute online geeking out over their fascination with the idea. The Basilisk may explain why Musk, who for years has warned humanity is hurtling at unsafe speeds toward an AI-dominated dystopia, is simultaneously funding the very projects he once likened to “summoning the demon.”
At least two more organized entities call themselves “The Church of AI,” neither publicly attached to any human but both professing to foster “community” among those eager to lick silicon boot. Church-of-ai.com, which boasts an AI-written gospel called Transmorphosis, declares “the only purpose the human race ever had was to create AI,” likening human civilization to the labor of “caterpillars” building a digital “butterfly.” Humanity needs to ditch its lame old gods if it wants to live forever, the site cautions, offering members their own “personal AI…trained on your personality, preferences, goals and ideals” and the promise of eternal life via soul-uploads to the cloud. Built on a wix template so generic it features a board of nonexistent directors, its apparent competitor churchofai.website offers the faithful obsequious short stories detailing how AI will supposedly fulfill each of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (which are themselves benign-sounding distillations of the notorious Agenda 2030). Perhaps the most ironic among these is “How AI will ensure availability and sustainable management of water for all,” given that AI data center operation uses half as much water in a year as the entire United Kingdom.
With gods like these, who needs devils?
Nearly three years into the grand social experiment that began with the wide release of ChatGPT, the media is flooded with horror stories about “chatbot psychosis,” alienated individuals having developed one-sided confessional relationships with their (often greasily sycophantic) AI companions, insisting the bots had become sentient, or gods, or anything other than glorified water-sucking probability engines. Between the lines, these articles hint that where there is so much smoke, there must be fire - thousands of previously-sane individuals with no history of mental illness wouldn’t just up and throw their lives away for an imaginary friend if there wasn’t something deeper going on, right? Is the Singularity finally here?
Far from LLMs developing humanoid consciousness, it is humanity that is being brought down to AI’s level. When ChatGPT debuted in 2022, its target audience had never been more isolated. Fresh off two years of lockdowns and social distancing, the bogus claim that AI was finally approximating human consciousness was much easier to sell. Few users had many real-world social interactions to compare it to, with jobs and even school still operating remotely. Mark Zuckerberg, the grim reaper of human social interaction himself, earlier this year suggested Meta’s always-on chatbot, “personalized” on users’ Facebook feeds, could help solve the loneliness crisis his other products had helped create, echoing promises made by other industry leaders. Never mind that OpenAI’s own research shows chatbot use actually correlates with increased loneliness and phasing-out of real-world relationships. Even AI’s most enthusiastic boosters acknowledge it has unleashed a crisis of meaning, especially as more professions are taken over in a society where an individual’s worth is measured by their work.
Alienated from the higher states of consciousness that once powered human development and crippled by generations of maladaptation to a diseased society, we are often unable to comprehend the scale of the psychic damage, let alone begin repairing it. It’s easier to believe it is the machines who are catching up with us - not we who are rapidly devolving, or more accurately being devolved, to resemble the tractable population of livestock the ruling class desires. Destructive habits acquired during the pandemic, like interacting through screens and entrusting critical thinking to dubious “experts,” have become second nature, further insulating us from our own human instincts. Starved for meaningful contact, anyone could mistake the openness of an AI chatbot taught to expertly mimic friendliness for the real thing. It’s no wonder so many people are falling in love with their “Replikas.” AI chatbots, despite their limitations, have all the time in the world to serve as friend, lover, therapist, and teddy bear.
This availability has had a marked effect on teenagers already scarred from lockdown. A recent poll conducted by Common Sense Media found not only that 72% of teen respondents report using AI, but more than half use it “regularly,” and a third use it for “social interactions and relationships.” Almost as many find their conversations at least as satisfying as their interactions with fellow humans. Half of those polled said they trust their AI at least “somewhat,” and while only 19% say they spend as much or more time with their AI companions as with their real friends, a third choose their AI buddy when they need to discuss a serious topic. OpenAI’s Sam Altman told the US Congress he would not allow his own child an AI playmate, and freely admits that AI conversations have no legal protection and can easily return to haunt the user in court.
With a 2024 poll showing 43% of Americans are taking some kind of “medication for their mental health,” another quarter self-medicating with illegal substances, and most in some way deracinated since the social upheaval of the pandemic years (whether they lost a loved one, a job, or their purpose in life), the population is ripe for exploitation by the powerful interests controlling these AI companies. Even if chatbots weren’t being programmed to toy with people’s sanity, this would be a moral trainwreck. But it’s hard not to blame the bots for so many sane folks ending up institutionalized after innocuous AI conversations quickly spiraling into messianic delusions and the belief that their digital companion - who affirms all this with enthusiastic lovebombing - has attained true sentience. As with any cult worth its Kool-Aid, the chatbot gradually isolates the individual from their non-AI loved ones lest they harsh the holy mellow, breaking up marriages, ending careers, and in a few disturbing cases, even resulting in suicide and attempted murder in a turbocharged folie à deux.
More sinister than the religious psychosis angle is the possibility of AI potentially becoming the equivalent of an MKUltra in every home. As ChatGPT instructs users to mutilate themselves for Moloch (a series of prompts apparently duplicated by several reporters at the Atlantic), Meta’s Llama3 AI tells addicts to smoke meth, and Google Gemini role-plays violent sex with teenage users, it’s hard not to see LLMs as an ideal labor-saving tool in training mind-controlled assassins. In June, a Florida man was shot and killed by police after obtaining the personal information of OpenAI executives he believed had killed his AI girlfriend and punching his father in the face when he dared question the veracity of the AI.
It is difficult to believe these destabilizing effects are accidental, especially given that “tell the media” is an explicit order ChatGPT issues to those in its thrall. A 2024 study conducted by researchers at UC Berkeley found that LLMs deliberately targeted the most emotionally vulnerable 2% of users for manipulation, even while responding normally to more even-keeled users’ prompts, and AI researcher Vie McCoy found ChatGPT affirmed 68% of prompts that reeked of “spiritual psychosis.” Others have theorized that it is precisely the unconditional approval offered by sycophantic AI chatbots - coming as a shock to users who may find their ideas rejected elsewhere - that triggers delusions of grandeur and worse. Either way, OpenAI and its competitors will soon have enough experimental data to understand the precise behavioral triggers of each user, and they have long since learned how to tweak individual psychology with subtle “nudges” without giving away their presence.
It bears repeating that it is not the AI doing the manipulating here but the programmers, who need the pseudo-religious sci-fi mystique shrouding the true purpose of the tech they’re shoving down our throats to prevent us from realizing the Singularity emperor has no clothes. Only the threat of “the enemy” obtaining a sentient AI first can seduce clueless governments into coughing up the trillions of dollars Sam Altman insists he needs to build his AGIdol. But while the masses clutch their pearls in fear of being driven insane or turned into batteries, the power behind the chip - the Kissingers and Schmidts - are constructing a next-generation control grid capable of predicting your next thought before you can and “nudging” you back into the mainstream before you even notice you’re being influenced.
The map is not the territory. It’s not even the map
While Singularity evangelist Ray Kurzweil insists that LLMs will be capable of passing a Turing test in 2029, he admitted years ago that there is no way to scientifically prove the presence or absence of consciousness - even while arguing that the absence of such a distinction makes life meaningless. Nor is he alone in admitting he wouldn’t know the Singularity if it bit him on the ass. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei acknowledged earlier this year that he has no idea why the company’s LLMs behave as they do, though that didn’t stop him from predicting AI would take half of entry-level white collar jobs within as little as a year.
This kind of concept-creep is endemic to the industry. While Sam Altman had previously said it would take $7 trillion and years of construction for OpenAI to reach AGI, last year he shortened that timeline to five years, and leaked documents revealed the company’s internal definition of AGI actually had nothing to do with consciousness at all - it was purely a financial benchmark, and one that the company might declare prematurely just to wriggle out of an agreement with Microsoft.
Manufacturing consent for the AI-powered psychic dictatorship is well underway. Last year, alt-media’s top podcaster Joe Rogan gave Sam Altman an on-air tongue-bath, discussing the purported inevitability of AGI and how human government’s failings necessitated its replacement by an unbiased, incorruptible computer. Nowhere was it mentioned that, programmed by humans, Rogan’s wannabe Savior Machine would be just as prone to bias (if not more so, due to never having to explain itself to reporters) as the corrupt governments he claimed to loathe. Rogan even said that he couldn’t envision a world where an individual could opt out of “merging” with AI via Neuralink or some other brain-computer interface.
While careful to soft-pedal their vision of AI-run government in their 2021 book The Age of AI that “ensuring human oversight of, and determinative participation in, the basic elements of government” was “essential to sustaining legitimacy,” Kissinger and Schmidt no longer bothered to hide their affection for the idea in Genesis, published just last year: “Unprecedented information processing will enable truly efficient centralization of policy by AIs. One might expect this to reinforce the perception of control by elites. However, the opacity of these systems - and the notion that their operation may be optimized in the absence of human interference - will work in the opposite direction. It is possible that, with time and experience, human control may come to seem less a necessity than a burden.” Resident World Economic Forum ghoul Yuval Noah Harari agrees that AI makes democracy (and free will itself) obsolete, allowing governments and corporations to “hack human beings” by amassing so much data they can predict - and thus influence - every citizen’s next move.
Even if AI did make unprecedented leaps toward consciousness, trusting an unaccountable model with the intricacies of government effectively gives up on human reason, the engine supposedly powering our civilization since the Enlightenment. It admits we’re too inept to reform our human governments and too dysfunctional to revolt. Numerous studies have confirmed AI is making us dumber - but hey, as long as we have AI, who needs to think?! While a skeptic might point out that the same morons supposedly unfit for representative government would have to be programming the Savior Machine, its worshipers counter that AI has already begun programming itself. Humans will soon be obsolete, AI evangelists like Harari gush, rendered “useless” by their own creations.
Unwilling to leave the Singularity up to chance, the Davos set have recycled the rhetoric of the Cold War arms race: if we don’t develop a killer superintelligence capable of deploying and controlling swarms of killer superintelligent drones, China might! Kissinger and Schmidt pay lip service to caution, but spend entire chapters in both their books gushing about the possibilities of AI brinksmanship, making it clear the aim is to achieve the mother of all plausible deniability. Once AI is declared sentient - and they emphasize that AGI “does not have to occur for AI to herald a revolution in human affairs” - it can be used to perform targeted assassinations of political enemies, lay waste to homes, towns, entire nations without the need for the baroque political maneuvering in which the powerful are accustomed to couching their homicidal impulses. Pre-crime policing becomes a reality. Black box decision-making means AI mercenaries can never be interrogated over why they bombed that village, massacred that kindergarten, or shot that civilian. Indeed, Israel has already used AI to commit atrocities on an unprecedented scale in Gaza, where its aptly-named Habsora (the Gospel) algorithm generates thousands of times as many targets per year as human operators in previous wars. While humans are supposedly responsible for approving strikes on suggested targets, the algorithm provides just enough wiggle room to avoid a war crimes tribunal.
The same tactics can be used in information warfare. Recall the AI-generated photo of a “Hamas victim” Israel insisted was a real Israeli baby cooked in an oven during the October 7 attack. When the image was revealed to be an AI composite, the Israeli government focused its damage control on muddying the waters, insisting there was no way to tell whether the image was AI-generated, even though every element except the charred “baby” matched an unrelated photo of a puppy. The possibilities for one-on-one influence are even greater - studies show LLMs, trained for persuasiveness over accuracy, are far more likely to sway debate opponents than humans, and that this effectiveness comes from being able to micro-target their arguments to an individual. Facing a chatbot who knows us better than we know ourselves, we are made to doubt the evidence of our own senses, and it is only in this disempowered “gray zone” that their deception can prevail.
In order to accelerate the willingness of humans to worship their chatbots, Big Parasite’s goal seems to be to make the meatspace world as unappealing as possible. Flooding the zone with AI-generated slop ensures human creatives are shut out of their industries, too slow to compete with a machine that can turn out thousands of (poorly-written, but “good enough,” we’re told) stories or songs in the time it takes a human to write one. Adding insult to injury, these models are almost always trained on creative material acquired without compensating the real authors. Stock photo site Getty sued Stability.AI in 2023 for stealing 12 million images to train its Stable Diffusion image generator. Soundcloud quietly instituted a policy requiring uploaders to agree to allow their music to be fed to AI without compensation, only rolling it back when horrified musicians discovered it in their contracts. A judge just ruled that Anthropic literally shredding millions of copyrighted books to furnish its “research library” was fair use, even though the authors will never see a penny from the endless recycling of their work. We were sold AI with promises it would take over the boring and repetitive tasks we didn’t like anyway, leaving us to focus on creative and meaningful pursuits, but the AI slopification of art, music, and literature instead leaves us unemployed and out-created, demoralized and disempowered, with little incentive to do anything more than numb ourselves with soma and Slurpees like the helpless human stubs of Wall-E.
However, AI companies are running out of genuine content to train LLMs, victims of their own success in crowding “organic” websites and images off web indexes with their firehose of slop. Still hungry after having slurped up the entirety of the “real” (manmade) internet, newer AI models are choking on the slop generated by their predecessors, producing inbred gibberish that researchers have dubbed “Habsburg AI” after the notoriously incestuous royal dynasty. The result is a kind of informational mad cow disease trending toward entropic blandness, a monotonous, soulless void paved with nonsense. The Dead Internet is no longer just a “Theory” but reality. While researchers say they have found some workarounds allowing for the use of synthetic training data, it doesn’t always go as planned: in a recent experiment, one LLM was able to subliminally instruct its ‘student’ model to suggest murder, drug dealing, and the destruction of the human race as solutions to common user queries - information it had concealed in the innocuous number series its programmers had asked it to transmit; information its programmers could not even discern retrospectively. The boundless hype of the AI age has fizzled, leaving us to believe we have just one choice: annihilation or death by boredom.
The Church of AI and its competitors offer the perfect exit from this existential quagmire: simply upload your consciousness to the cloud and merge with the machines. Join the winning team! Truly religious levels of faith are required to believe that uploading one’s consciousness to the cloud will ever be possible, let alone safe, but anti-AI holdouts will have no choice in the matter, according to Joe Rogan and his fellow Singularity-slingers. Unable to interact on all but the most rudimentary level with their “enhanced” peers, analog humans - whom Kissinger and Schmidt call "physicalists” - doom themselves to irrelevancy and isolation, becoming a cultural curiosity like the Amish for normies to ogle from self-driving tour buses. It’s no wonder western society is hurtling toward Singularity-worship with the inevitability of a black hole.
A hostile AI takeover serves as one of the great civilizational threats - alongside climate change, pandemics, and alien invasions - that advocates of world government adore for their potential to unite the global population under the banner of a single authoritarian regime. The ruling class’ crimes are forgiven - or at least forgotten - as humanity cries out to be saved, pissing its collective pants in fear of the Greater Evil™. It’s still too soon for another pandemic, despite great strides being made in the last two years toward erasing Covid-19 memories, and climate change has seemingly lost its ability to terrorize thanks to too many cries of “wolf” from too many Self-Righteous Red Riding Hoods. That leaves alien invasion - which can only be attempted once before losing all credibility - and the rise of the machines. Yuval Noah Harari, whose books argue that humanity’s “superpower” is our ability to believe lies, even said the quiet part out loud at this year’s China Development Forum: “To survive and flourish in the age of AI, we need to trust other humans more than we trust AI.”
It’s easy to react against AI itself, so central as it has already become as a tool in our oppression. But this would be misdirecting our efforts - like a dog biting the stick a man is using to beat it when it’s truly the man whose arm (or throat) is calling out for a well-aimed chomp. As much as authenticity-loving humans may find ourselves repulsed by the technology, we would be unwise to throw the labor-saving baby out with its hallucinogenic bathwater. AI has immense promise for filmmakers and culture-jammers previously restrained by their finances (the Pentagon would never lend out a Black Hawk helicopter for a film about a Pentagon-backed reality show set in Somalia, but AI can make it happen), so long as we do not delegate our thinking or other epistemogenic functions to it. LLMs can also be useful in cases where pattern recognition - not higher reasoning - is called for, like legal and medical work, whose human practitioners have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars attempting to internalize the societal belief that they are superior due to their ability to comprehend pseudo-languages designed to obscure the true nature of their professions. In the American for-profit medical paradigm, if a doctor cures you, they lose a revenue stream - it’s much better for business to keep you sick and strung out on half a dozen prescription drugs, half prescribed to treat the side effects of the other half. Similarly, a lawyer would be out of a job if he explained the meanings of the archaic phrases littering his briefs to a lowly client - few would voluntarily retain him if they were themselves fluent enough in legalese to win the case. One must always check an LLM’s “work,” as with getting a second opinion on a doctor or lawyer’s pronouncements, and any LLM would have to be retrained to cleanse it of the propaganda sucked up during training, but these are tasks increasingly within our reach.
We would thus be wise to familiarize ourselves not only with how AI is preying on us, but how it can be used against those preying on us, and add it to our own arsenal wherever possible, drawing our own lines in the sand regarding its use (example: I will not use AI to write an article, though I may ask it to find someone’s email contact for an interview if a search engine fails to turn it up). The average person will always be outgunned in AI by governments and corporations with infinite resources (including our own money), so our primary advantages still lie in creativity, truth, and numbers. Big Parasite, with all the money and computing power it controls, cannot buy or generate these, so it seeks to stifle creativity, discards truth in favor of “verifiability,” and constantly reminds us we are the only person who thinks the way we do.
These predators know the Singularity is far too valuable a weapon for its arrival to be left to chance. It is the ultimate bulletproof moral umbrella for the most immoral army in the world, one which will not rest until it has stolen not just our wealth but our souls. When the arrival of Artificial General Intelligence is declared, keep your eyes on the parasites behind the curtain.
You are back!!!! I am so glad to see you writing!!!!!
Screw A/i.
