Hello Karen, I've gladly become a subscriber to your platform. As the discussion is pertaining to AI and robotics, you might likely know of NSA's Cray XL supercomputer code named Black Widow. Early during Obama's first term in office, he authorized NSA to establish a global surveillance network at Ft. Meade, Maryland, followed by the huge Dark Star facility outside Moab, Utah. It's been said to have been upgraded to utilize AI algorithms in their program. Big Brother is listening 24/7. 😨
"... I guess we are ruled by a bunch of idiots.", so herds of idiots ruled by gangs of idiots while the OWNERS of the current Civilization have FUN! Nothing new...
Moving to wombs, we don't need to escape the animal scene and go artificial. We already have GM Cows producing Uman Milk... we just need to make a GM Cow Uman Womb. In no time we might be able to see this
You certainly take us on a ride with your essays keeping us up to speed with the gods as you call them. I feel like I am on another planet 🪐 in a far away world, thank you Karen for all your hard work & research 🙏🏻
You had me at "slaughterbots". I've never been a fan if sci-fi and films with nonstop violence. This has now entered my real world.....a world I have had more than enough of!
I think those crazy Microsoft chatbot stories are either a marketing trick with possibly a person behind the curtain, or a psyop by lying journalists or both. Hysteria about AI would allow regulating the internet and controlling speech. We need to resist fear to prevent that. COVID is not even over yet, and here comes the next thing.
It's not like we can verify the logs, and why are there no timestamps? Perhaps there is enough time for humans to shape the AI's answers. Has Microsoft commented to what degree their AI is sentient?
One of AI's eminences, Yann LeCun (he is on Twitter), has said that the field is far from developing a machine with general intelligence.
I do wish those killer robots were restricted by arms control, but it's probably not possible because secret development is undetectable.
Good essay and links thanks. This has been a foreseeable issue since the days of Miss Ada Lovelace (daughter of Lord Byron) and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. The techno biological revolution is currently killing us all. Take heed.
...it's startin' ta look like Fahrenheit 451 down to the killer robot dogs! BUT just as Guy went through the swamp and fooled the cyber-dogs (and the killer humans!), I'm confident we'll do that too even if we end up in the bushes memorizin' books to "tell them" to others (Bradbury really nailed the future good, dang it!)
Just like today, most humans --'specially the young'uns--don't read and their empty but predictive vidde-yo games are not unlike the interactive giant screens in 451. But even with the (literal) numbnuts surroundin' us, I still think we'll prevail. As for the baddies, EVEN if their dark utopian dreams are comin' true with AI "faux" reality--frankly, no robot dog can compare to a real one just as no robot can compare to an amazin' full-a-life human bean! Real dogs save lives and can sniff out a human with somethin' like 1000x greater accuracy than our own noses--so perhaps when we go into the forests we should take dogs to keep us safe by sniffin' out the robots an' barkin' out warningsLONG before they arrive? Crazy? Not sure but I'll betcha a real human-dog team beats an AI one any day.
The insanity in the self-destruct "programming" of us humans is SO extreme that I wonder if the robots don't end up destroying themselves--we've seen THAT in the movies too (predictive? wishful?). I sure hope so! (Still shakin' my head at what I see though...)
Starting to look? What the public knows about is 10-20 years behind what they're actually developing and using. Ask any government contractor. It's been looking like dystopia for a long time now.
Mark Phillips (former CIA spook, rescuer-hubby've Cathy O'Brien) sez 50-100 years behind what they've already developed an' he wasn't exaggerating... So "startin' " means we human beans kin SEE IT now--truth is, much've what we don't see is as much as 100 years in the plannin' -- not reassuring....
This is it. We are at war with China and the battlefield is social media, teaching our children and future generations to be degenerates obsessed with sex, getting unnecessary sterilizing surgery, using drugs and alcohol to numb and collecting luxury consumer goods. Meanwhile in their own country, social media strongly promotes ethics, morality and family above everything else. Sadly, Americans are too busy enjoying their "freedom" to notice
Good summary of a troubling subject.

Beautiful Uman Civilization we've built!

Puts me in mind of the Black Mirror episode: Metalhead

I thought only 30-something-year-old manchildren played video games! Most of the youth I see these days are just on TikTok 24/7.
Aside from that, I highly recommend watching the Black Mirror episode titled Metalhead
Also I’m not too worried about the ectolife babies. They’ll die the second they go out in nature.
