Let’s Be Honest About AI

Great essay about AI, which I found myself agreeing with:

"The Force-Feeding of AI on an Unwilling Public - This isn't innovation, it's tyranny":

Hey Noctis, quit attempting to gaslight me. You seem intent on aggressively framing the conversation, and excluding my perspective, as if it has no place at the table - as though I'm not entitled to any opinion whatsoever, since it doesn't fit your framing.

You make yourself out as an expert. What are your qualifications, if any?

-> Thank you for the article maestro CapedOwl, I had some hospital waiting rooms today, so I was appreciative of the interesting article
The piece is written from a personal, frustrated perspective, reflecting a broader cultural unease with rapid, top-down tech changes that prioritize corporate interests over user needs. And I fully agree
I attempt to not allow myself to become 'frustrated' too often, but the article and current approach to pushing A.I. everywhere and anywhere is what I have detested from day 1 when starting to work with large corporations as Microsoft and Google.(not only A.I. )

My best guess as to why they do it; has indeed set my mind on the path that they are trying (as a drowning person flails their arms around them) justify the huge buy-in costs they made into A.I. by pushing it.

Kind regards,
Kada

Thanks, Kada. As I've gotten older, I've gotten a little wiser - to always look at the how, of how it's being pursued. And the how which I see, by and large, looks like straightforward villainy. A straightforward bumrush for power and dominance.

Once upon a time we needed cooling towers before the PC, cooling down mainframes. Then came PC leap, mobile phones, cable TV and smart phones.
Now for quantum leap....

People like myself are freaked out over technology that can read our thoughts, sort of like neurolink but more advanced. If this connects to satellites and can signal to robot in house, then perhaps it's emergency alert that I'm dying on ground, unable to move...distress signal, need help.

Other than that I think I prefer to choose when to share my thoughts.
Are you honestly thinking that search engines AI are using that much power, or it's batteries to operate robotics....
Um, are we on same page here.

And satellites, enough to survey whole planet - to control us or what? What needs that much speed?

Facial recognition, is that what you call search engine, sweetie you oblivious to the quantum leap.
