Fear of AIs Taking Over. Not a chance! But the Computers Have Already Taken Over.

in #ai6 years ago (edited)

Many people fear AI. When they think of it, they imagine world dominating computers, hell bent on destroying humanity.

And, why wouldn't they? It is a simple extrapolation from what we have computers doing today.

Computers were designed by aspergers people for aspergers people. Very few non-aspergers types have taken understanding programs / computers enough to actually try to develop an actual human interface. What we have instead is Microsloth and Pitfruit battling it out to make the worst user experience possible. So, is it any wonder that people are afraid of this technology?

A hammer is a good tool. Its use is easily discernible from its shape. Its form follows function.
A smart phone is a poor tool. You don't know what it is doing at any given time. Its functions seem erratic. It doesn't do what you tell it. And it takes up more of your time trying to do simple things, that should be simple, but are, in many cases impossible.

  • Your computer is not yours.
  • Your computer is used to spy on you
  • The computer is the final authority.
  • The computer does not have an interface that shows what it is doing.
  • The computer is out to take your job.

Your Computer is Not Yours

There was a person who collected junk computers and put them back together and then sold them to poor families. However, Microsloth sued him... because, how dare he resell the computer with THEIR operating system installed.

John Deer has been selling tractors with chips in them that demand service by John Deer specialists, or the machine stops running.

Your smart phone is only a pretty brick, if the cell provider, or the phone manufacturer decide to no longer work with you. At any moment, they can lock you out of your phone and render it non-functional.

So, our smart phones actually belong to

  1. The phone manufacturer
  2. The service provider
  3. Law enforcement
  4. The state
  5. Boogle

And if any of them do not wish you to use it, they can override your authority.

Your computer is used to spy on you.

This one is self explanatory. Especially since it has been in the news (at least the alternative media and wikileaks) recently. Microsloth winders has so many back doors, MacAfee anti-virus detected it as a virus.

Every piece of electronics is now a spying device. Its cameras and microphone are for the NSA

The Computer Is the Final Authority.

Many have gone to Social inSecurity to complain that their SS payments were not sent, only to find out that they are dead. And instead of the SS personnel verifying the person's identity and processing their check immediately, they instead believe the computer.

The TSA harass (give extra attention to) a group of people who are on "their" list. And, this list is ever growing, with no one knowing who is on it or for what. Most of the people (like 99%) are on there for shtupid reasons, like they ordered Mein Kampf, because their daughter's class had it as required reading.

Everywhere in our society, your rights are based on some number in a computer. It is not you, the person, who is important, it is those numbers. The numbers pay the bills, you are superfluous, and get in the way.

The Computer Does Not have an Interface That Shows You What it is Doing.

So, you noticed your cell phone just sent a huge bunch of data. What program was doing that? The phone doesn't know. And doesn't have any native software that could tell you. Why not?

That should be the basis of all the programs. That should be the bedrock that everything is built upon.

You should be able to say, what program just used (the microphone, the camera, the internet), find that program and destroy it. Some versions of Winders don't even have the ability to destroy the offensive program.

The Computer is out to Take Your Job.

This is not about robotics. This is about the people at the top. The psychopaths wanting to remove pesky humans from gumming up their plans. They would love for the Venus Project to enact their resource based economy. So, that all the computers are now in place to control the flow of ALL resources.

One centralized server to control who can or can't have money, food, resources... anything.
One computer that controls all the drones to shoot any people that live outside their system.

It really isn't the computer's fault, it is how the computers are being used.
The empire wants robots to enforce their will on all the people.

Fortunately, open source software is now surpassing what all the tech giants have done.

Things like Linux are much better, and are now, easier to install.
With Linux you can tell the computer to kill that nasty program, and it will do it. Even it "it" is the operating system. You have the power, use it wisely.

And crowd sourcing is making it possible for little people to completely make their own computers, from the ground up. Putting the power in the people's hands.

Yes, AI is a just a spectre. It isn't real. We are so far away from having a general AI running on the biggest, fastest super-computers, that we have nothing to fear for decades. They haven't even gotten a voice activated helper to be helpful yet.

"Siri play Enya"
An Enya radio station was not found. Now playing Lady Gaga. (when all of Enya's music is sitting on your phone)

However, the take over by computer is happening, and it is frightening. But, it is that electronics are being designed against you... and then sold to you at a high markup.

Sort:  

Open source the phones, there's a few of them as well, now if we could put together a open source the internet and communications.

Its coming. Its inevitable... unless those in charge all of a sudden decide real net neutrality is the way to go.
