Comment If you're wanting to see how this plays out... (Score 1) 162

The TV Show Continuum (I believe it's on Amazon Prime) is a good starting point.

Books become illegal, neurotechnology becomes rampant, and cops go corporate with top tier equipment far more advanced than anyone can imagine.

On the flip side, street drugs get better, terrorism becomes harder but more impactful, etc.

The summary is that mental health, which can be manufactured, is not a reliable way to "discredit" someone from owning a gun.

I know from experience. While I don't need a gun myself, I was often called crazy for some of the posts I would make regarding neuroscience and AI algorithms. I have personally felt the "echo chamber" that AI algorithms can silently murder someone, purely based on their ad profile, which consists of interests/likes, diseases, flaws, etc..

Silencing your alarm clock before you have to wake up for work, or causing a missed appointment at the doctor, or having AI bombard you with depressing memes while your depressed, all can contribute. The crisis becomes manufactured.

If a civil war were to break out, it would be the "crazies" that would need the weapons to defend themselves, I suppose. Pro-Trump supporters (or even anti-Trump supporters) are flagged as crazy by the opposing party and slowly lose their rights online, with increased targeting / profiling / interest. You can become singled out, and with AI, that's even simpler to do. Predictive technology, or maybe it's because of manufactured crisis', can single you out for being a threat years before you become one.

end-to-end encryption is a must to avoid this, and I know it's possible, because I've done it to myself with my own messages.

I took my Facebook messages from a friend and asked about any unresolved issues we may have had. These are easy targets for someone to prey on to cause conflict, break up relationships, or otherwise cause crime. It can be helpful too, by pointing out to you something that may have caused negative thoughts against you from that point forward, so you can address it and put a stop to it.



That's just some examples. 1984 doesn't even begin to cover what's coming (or already here).

(A Vector database can be used to store the changes and update the model's "approval" memory after it has been verified)

It could also be used to identify inconsistencies or commonly changed parts and allow some kind of voting or something, or take parts and offer different versions within the document, because gaslighting is real.

My point is, they need to innovate or risk dying right now. The old-school original editors aren't going to like it, but it's not a choice.

Comment Verify. Not Sumarize. (Score 1) 67

Why not use the AI to Verify the data on the page?

I looked at a page the other day for Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge. It was developed by Westwood Studios, which is what it said in the paragraph, but in the table it had EA Games, something completely different. I think we are being gaslighted through it.

Example: Reddit post about a game from 1995 here: https://www.reddit.com/r/comma...

People have all different years for when the logo originated. While Google AI says it was purchased in 1998, others say 2003.

If you ask me, it seems more like an Activision game... not normal for EA games at all.

Comment It's capable (Score 2) 18

AI is completely capable, it's just most of the implementations aren't the best. For example, one of the ones I use at work has a 10,000 character context window for files. It doesn't pick up on many of the fields that it should, and even having the information already it asks for it. Seems very late 2023/early 2024. I have a certification in IT Automation, which extends beyond that. I have been automating since I was in high school, when I automated my entire job and just played around learning. Automation is unfortunately usually seen as the enemy. Smart companies will invest in their employees while they have them hand over the knowledge for the AI to up-skill them, lest they destroy the economy in their city and end up out of business or having to relocate.

Comment Re:Meanwhile censorship of legal visa holders ongo (Score 1) 255

It's worse than that. They're censoring the internet. AI models are the last source of information, and even that can be filtered.

I was told my social media profiles don't even show up for anyone. My website? Same thing, because I use Cloudflare.

Pretty soon:
Google: Find all _insert reason that violates policy here_ and suspend their accounts.
FBI: Read the federal law and find me all criminal activity, flagging their accounts. Include anything suspicious that you are uncertain about. Sort by their ability to pay for an attorney. (Since CiSA/CISPA made them able to access the IRS database + all the metadata they have without a warrant)


Also FBI: Let's be lazy and automate this, so we don't have to do anything.

*Shadow List is born*

All criminals suddenly drop under in the world, unless you're above the FBI.

Reminds me of a story... oh wait.

Comment Profiling (Score 1) 30

I asked ChatGPT to do a psychological evaluation and pretend to be the FBI, and it was creepishly on point.

So if a periodic task existed that had prompts like "Sift through this data and identify a score based on the following critera. Identify a likelhood that this data would result in terrorist activity. Also identify the likelihood the person is Pro-Life or Pro-Abortion, determine their gender identity / sexual orientation, and identify their race."

You think it couldn't? It's time to get out of the cloud. If you don't know what self-hosting is, now is the time to learn. Navigate to Reddit, find r/selfhosted, and ask how do I start.

Comment Why is this a trend? (Score 1) 43

I know companies are wanting more and more data, but I see very few privacy laws going into place to limit what the government can do with this data too. That's not even counting the companies themselves. If you think PRISM was a dangerous dragnet, what do you think all this internet giants sucking up your data is? I doubt it ever went away, they just hid behind the companies akin to the secret red room at Google, and the secret room at AT&T. I guarentee Facebook, Amazon, Google, every phone carrier, X, and essentially all other major tech players have a secret room intercepting data. With CISA/CISPA passing, that's unified data sources across every government agency.

If they haven't built it yet, they are building it. You think they wouldn't? I mean we literally advertise the "All Seeing Eye" on the back of our dollar bill. Everyone writes it off as a conspiracy, but that's what they set out to build forever ago. How old is the dollar bill? Just imagine.

Comment Hmm (Score 1) 162

I have a serious distrust with Cloudflare and how powerful it is. I use it, but I don't trust the "middle layer" of the internet that sits between so many websites and the end user. I use it primarily to mask my home internet connection, since it gives away location fairly accurately from what I have heard.

Comment How about open source? (Score 1) 56

I would love to see a law that required the release of new firmware that allows you to continue to run your own server for the hardware that no longer is supported. Kinda like how World of Warcraft had classic servers long before they re-released classic expansions. There is a community supported "private server" market. It would breathe new life into the products and make them not just e-junk that doesn't even get recycled.
