Could Net Neutrality Potentially Be Abolished by an "A.I. Messiah"?

There has been an increased amount of chatter about A.I. as well as Net Neutrality, but are the two dangerously linked? Firstly, what is this Net Neutrality? Wikipedia defines it as...

...The principle that Internet service providers must treat all data on the Internet the same, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication.[1] For instance, under these principles, internet service providers are unable to intentionally block, slow down or charge money for specific websites and online content.

Net Neutrality is what most people WANT from the internet services they pay for so they are able to find exactly what they want, or promote their information without censorship. The question now is, what is the issue?

According to Newsweek, the FCC will vote this Thursday to cut Net Neutrality.

By ending the present net neutrality rules, internet service providers (ISPs) will be legally permitted to block or slow down content of companies using their services. They will be in a position to give priority and charge higher fees to companies they prefer, and to choose who will pay higher fees.

This week, The Hill reported that a group of 21 technology pioneers, a couple of which were Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple) and Mitchell Baker (head of the Mozilla Foundation), sent a letter that stated:

The FCC’s rushed and technically incorrect proposed Order to abolish net neutrality protections without any replacement is an imminent threat to the Internet we worked so hard to create. It should be stopped...The proposed Order removes long-standing FCC oversight over Internet access providers without an adequate replacement to protect consumers, free markets and online innovation.

Tim Berners-Lee and Vinton Cerf signed this letter in support. In the video below, according to reporter Lee Ann McAdoo, the internet is being blocked by "information gatekeepers" through algorithms which can take certain information and not block it but make it more difficult to access. The internet used to be known for its "ease of access", but now the tables are turning.

Back in late November, The BBC covered the fact that Google

...Is to "derank" stories from Kremlin-owned publications Russia Today (RT) and Sputnik in response to allegations about election meddling by President Putin's government.

Eric Schmit has claimed to be against censorship, but as Lee Ann McAdoo pointed out, by using algorithms it is a form of censorship. She also states in the video above, due to the controversy around "fake news," it has been deemed that people aren't capable of being able to distinguish truth from falsehood so the algorithms would be able to "do it for you". As she states, "this is no longer an InfoWars conspiracy theory, it's a conspiracy fact!" The bigger corporations who are "Content Carriers" such as Facebook, YouTube, and Google, through the "Communications Act" are essentially exempt from the Net Neutrality rules. They are allowed to censor what they choose. "Common Carriers", such as AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast, are under the FCC's strict rules, unlike the "Content Carriers." The "Common Carriers" will use the "Content Carrier's" blocked or censored information and apply it to their own advantage. Due to the Net Neutrality stipulations, they are forced to use the "Content Carriers" censored information. There is clearly a double standard here.

It's no surprise that if they are admitting some censorship, it is happening on a larger scale than imagined. Many people on YouTube and other social media platforms have experienced such issues. This week, Jullian Assange tweeted:

The revolt against the AI domination of mankind will not be live streamed. Google's AI censorship system has censored hundreds of thousands of videos already and is expanding. https://t.co/UkLNaanu0X pic.twitter.com/Csm9BuIK5d

Have you noticed...

Right now the system is attempting to evolve humanity through technology so we can live in the Orwellian brave new smart grid that is being built around us. That means people who are already asleep in a society largely run on falsities and deceptions, illusions will be a step further away from themselves and reality.

The quote was the opening statement from this video. The video shows how technology is more addicting than many realize on the psychological level and is being dangerously incorporated to fulfill a governmental agenda. Have you noticed how everyone is almost completely dependent and addicted to their smartphone? No one nowadays can hold a conversation without mindlessly staring at their phone while they do it. Have you heard of "phantom vibrations", where a person will think that their phone is alerting them to their next high? The human brain feels it is being rewarded when a "notification" pops-up. People don't communicate with each other, they communicate with their "robot" phone. This is all done by "reinforced practice" to achieve a "permanent change" through the "psychological learning theory."

The video points out that humanity is also being taught to "fall in love" with "programmed bots who mimic themselves."

The video explains the label "The Fourth Industrial Revolution" the World Economic Forum we are all being taught to evolve.

Humanity gives every shred of information about them through technology. The idea is that everyone will be so self-absorbed in technology it will become a part of us. A collective database that has been gathered holding all of your, as well as everyone's personal and private information. All of this is just something to consider and ponder...are you consumed in your own phone, computer or other technology that takes away from the human experience? If so, you are freely giving the governments around the world your information, for free while you potentially ruin close relationships.

The video had a clip of President Putin in Sochi at the 19th World Festival of Youth and Students. He stated:

This means that a man has the opportunity to get into the genetic code created by neither nature or as religious people would say, by the God. What kind of practical consequences may entail? This means that one can already imagine it. One may imagine that man can create man with some given characteristics, not only theoretically but also practically. He can be a genius mathematician, a brilliant musician or soldier, a man who can fight without fear, compassion, regret or pain. As you understand, humanity can enter, and most likely will enter in the near future a very difficult and very responsible period of existence. And what I have just described might be worse than a nuclear bomb.

In this video, the narration states:

A.I. is beginning to run things to the point that the governments can't even explain how the decisions are actually being made. And because the machines themselves are actually learning, they're not even able to trace them back to the algorithms that brought the A.I. to the decision itself.

Evolution is not always a bad thing, but is there something even more to this? With all of this autonomous self-learning, A.I. programs are performing, it does not go without repercussions. If A.I.is censoring information on the internet and now is establishing a religion, to what avail will it not grow and tell you what you can and cannot view or do? Could this not get out of hand? We've all seen movies such as "The Terminator"...

The Daily Star recently published an article stating that "tech experts have said humans are likely to accept the robot as a higher being." Ask yourself, are we being primed to accept such ideologies? The Daily Star quoted A.I. expert, John Mitchell, stating that humans generally

...worship supreme understanding...We [believe] there must be some higher power that causes lightning, sunsets, and crashing waves – or at least speaks to the bottom of our beings, rather than ignore them as ho-hum background.


Source

Not only that, but ask yourself, are we being primed to accept such ideologies? The Daily Star quoted an A.I. consciousness expert, Dr. Stephen Thaler, saying humanity will rely on A.I. for many things.

An AI would provide the equivalent of a ‘Messiah’ – having many orders of magnitude more processing elements than the brain, enabling it to gift us with solutions to the most daunting social, political, economic, and environmental challenges.

Are you beginning to connect the dots to this Orwellian dystopian future? The facade of an ethereal playground of opportunities is an illusion in this worldly reality. A.I. to be a Messiah?

"For many will come in my name, and they will say. 'I AM THE LIVING GOD*, The Messiah', and they will deceive many."
Yes! I have noticed this and on so many levels!

controlling masses thru electronic

Anything to implement more control and censor the truth.

Interesting thought.

It is wild to see how much technology has advanced! I used to work in the semiconductor industry, and it still blows my mind!

The lust for control has driven them this far. If left alone too long the AI could be their destruction.

Yes, it is wild! I was in Telecom and Infrastructure Cabling Sales for years with TYCO Electronics.

Everybody wants control, the challenge is keeping others from controlling you. This is another grab for power, not to be allowed.

There is a vast difference between "Machine Learning" and "Artificial Intelligence". Right now nobody should be using the latter, because it's still a long ways off. It's true that we really can't see into the black boxes that comprise a neural net, but we do know what is in there, and it's very mundane I assure you. In his book "The Emperor's New Mind", Roger Penrose makes a very solid case for consciousness requiring a quantum-mechanical basis. WHEN we encounter electronic AI it will have an analog basis, and behavior that is much more subtle than can be found in the digital realm, no matter how complex.
