...you only have a finite time in a new place, you want to make the most of what you get...
Yes, if you do it beforehand in order to save time, it's ok. I too like to read reviews, plan ahead and such. However, at that particular occasion, time was exactly what was lost. Instead of simply going to random place we spent about an hour wandering around while they were checking their apps for reviews (which probably were paid or generated by bots anyway).
I will just go walking around and pick something that looks interesting to me.
Exactly! Experience of living in a moment. Seems like humanity is starting to forget what it means. It's like George Carlin once said: Where's your fucking sense of adventure! Just pick something that seems ok and roll with it. Even if it turns out not so ok, it'll still be a worthy experience and something to remember.
Nah, it's a trap. If people will allow it, UBI will be for everyone regardless. Except those who have maintainted their cognitive abilities will at least have their integrity left.
You sound totally resigned. Just as those people who were saying "you have to wear a mask and get the vaccine otherwise you'll be fired" just a few years ago... and look where we are now. If sheeple wouldn't bought into that scam so easily, we would have a totally different world now.
What you're talking about will affect those dumb enough to fall for the tricks...
Yes, but it will inevitably affect those who didn't fall for it. Imagine all your relatives and most of your acquaintances becoming AI controlled drones. That's quite a scary prospect. We already saw a test drive of this during covid. At one point it really seemed like there's no one but brainless zombies around.
...they're going to have to come with guns, but first they have to know who is still alive, how they're still alive, and where they're hiding...
Well, yeah, but what we're looking at here is a very extreme case of societal breakdown. We're not there yet. We're still able to communicate somehow and such. I do kind of hope that it won't come to what you're describing.
That is an opinion!!!
Yes, exactly. People are outsourcing not only their thought process, but also their opinions.
I had a funny moment some while ago. AI was not even around back then. Me and friends went to another city and decided to get something to eat. I spotted some random place and suggested that we just go there and grab a bite, but nooo, instead we continued ahead while they were checking some restaurant rating app or whatever, reading reviews and whatnot. So, we walked like that for about a kilometer. Then they finally decided to go to some recommended and highly rated place, we followed a map, and whaddayaknow we returned to exactly same place I suggested previously at random!
I didn't press a point a that time, I just didn't want to be a downer, but this is exactly what I'm talking about. Some people can't make independent decisions anymore. Even on trivial matters like grabbing a bite. And that was even before AI. Imagine how much worse it is now!
Well, not everyone is like that, of course, but still... I consider these being early warning signs.
I feel like in 10-20 years there will be a group of normal people and a group of people who have been turned into mush.
You could be right. If current trends continue, humanity might divide into two almost different species.
...just don't use AI...
That works for now, but what do you do when avoiding it becomes impossible? Even now all search results give AI summary by default. Google has already stated that they plan to do away with normal search results completely. Basically, what they want is for AI to become arbiter of truth. You type in your question and AI gives you an answer and no other answers or options are provided for you.
...keep your kids away from AI...
Sure, you can try to do it, but you won't be able to do it for a long period of time. They even teach AI in schools now. Nothing short of building own independent communities won't work.
...it involves someone else's use of AI against you...
Yes, surveillance and profiling is bad on its own, but this is not the worst thing about AI. The worst thing is what people do to themselves and what our society (or what's left of it) is becoming due to AI and all that other tech. It's a dead eye zombie town already sometimes. Imagine what it will become in 10 years, in 20 years.
Yes, that as well. There's so many warning lights about this it's hard to describe. I mentioned only two, which most people haven't noticed, but there's also all the usual stuff: cognitive decline, outsourcing thinking process to the machine, AI as an arbiter or truth... and so on, and so on...
Yes, that as well, although I think it is very far from worst way it could be used.
We already have a noticeable cognitive decline among those who use it regularly. Some people are literally going insane. Some other people can't make their grocery shopping list without AI anymore. Basically, what is happening is that people are outsourcing their thinking to the AI. And this is just the beginning.
Add to that the fact that globohomo wants to move everything to the AI. Your searches, your interaction with other people, all your data, everything you think and do etc, etc.
As a result most people might become nothing more than a simple appendages to this global borg they are building. Or like a peripheral device for the global AI, if you will.
In short, we're looking at total control and loss of autonomy for most people... or even ability to make an independent thought without the help of the AI.
I don't quite believe anyone elects anything. We don't have elections. We have selections.
Telling everyone that someone has been elected is a very convenient excuse for TPTB to put into power whoever they want. We have been conditioned to this election thing so heavily, that even many critically minded people won't stop and think twice. They'll just be disturbed that their side didn't win, but all too often are weary to reconsider the whole concept of sides, parties, ideologies and all the rest of the system.
Well, sure, it could be that as well. However one does not exclude the other. We might not watch Fox, but normies do and this one was aimed at normie audience. They're literally training them to not see the obvious. You know, kind of like watching the towers being obviously demolitioned while at the same time denying it and not seeing it.
Google is trash for a long time already. You get almost exclusively official sources and you have to click at least two or three pages in order to get to something less official. Basically, unless your query is very specific, getting independent websites in search results is already almost impossible.
Also, that Smidt guy told us this a long time ago already. It was something along the lines that search results should be a single result and always correct result and nothing else. He called the fact, that there even exist multiple results, a bug.
In short, that's what Google was always about. Mind, perception and reality control. From the very start. Even back then when they had that silly tagline "don't be evil". Woe to those who actually believed in it.
What we see here is a normalization process. Soon they'll all have parties together and no one will bat an eye and everyone will have forgotten whatever was written and talked about just a few years back. Coming up next: interview with Clinton. Why the heck not?
It's all controlled and it's all bullshit.
Yeah, Mandela Effect is an interesting one. Most explanations involve some kind of simulation theory or even supernatural phenomena at play. Quantum Immortality, Parallel Universes and such. Your explanation is very down to earth in comparison. Could be. Who knows...
In any case, they can't fake everything. Not yet at least. Truth is the key. I agree.
Yes, this digital factor is what's especially scary. They can concoct anything... For example, that we had a war with aliens in 80s. Sure, we know it didn't happen, because a lot of people still remember 80s and they know it's not true... but next generations won't and with enough determination I'm afraid it is indeed possible to make them believe it.
They'll have generated war footage in which people with mullets are fighting aliens while synth pop soundtrack is playing. There'll be a lot of eyewitness stories generated... and all the rest... Even if some 100 year old geezer who still remembers 80s will tell them that nothing of the sort happened, no one will believe him, because it'll be his word against tons and tons of digital information.
Yep, our history is full of lies. Probably even all of it... or little less than all of it. With AI and people living more and more in digital reality it could become even easier to fake it.
Creepy stuff. And it will get worse as people move to tech mediated communication more and more. We might end up in future where direct face to face communication becomes rare, something only old people do. In such a future everything becomes moldable. Reality itself becomes editable. Well, not real reality, of course, but what everyone believes is real.
Hell, even that guy on a podcast could not be real. Kind of a meta joke by the system. Podcast about bots narrated by a bot.
Well, it doesn't mean it's dead dead. It just means that it is much more emptier and much more managed than we think it is.
It's like when you google for something it shows some 1000000 results or so, but in reality there are just about few hundred results. At page 4 or 5 results start to repeat and eventually stop altogether. Basically, googling gives you only what google wants you to see. It's not an organic search.
It's an obscure Russian band. I doubt you'd know it.
Regarding your fourth point I agree absolutely. Books, hard drives... any local and decentralized way to store information is definitely a must. History is already being rewritten right before our eyes. Imagine what it will look in some 20, 30 or 50 years! It will be unrecognizable.
Yeah, sure, but my main point was that it's being injected into our reality as already happened. For example, Shakespeare might very vell be fake, but if you ask your parents or grandparents, they'll remember reading him in school. Fake or not, but he's been a thing since forever. Now, in case of retroactive fake, it would be that the internet is full of info how Shakespeare is a great author, his texts, articles about him and such, but in reality no one would remember reading him in school or anywhere else.
See, this molding of past was what got me thinking about it. Not just a fake, but a fake in time as well.
Yep, I woudn't be surprised to learn that a lot of what we see on TV is fake. Either pure AI or simply actors pretending to participate in those contests and such.
However, a very important aspect here is retroactivity. In your example, it would be like a homeless guy winning X Factor back in 2005 while in reality he didn't. Faking not only the guy himself, but the whole event which supposedly took place in the past. It would involve faking the guy, faking the winning and faking happy public celebrating his win, congratulatory comments and such.
I don't know if I'm explaining it well enough, but this retroactivity was a key aspect of my post. Not only fakeness itself, but the retroactive nature of it.
...they're likely testing their isolation software for when the real 'chaos' hits...
How could that help them? I mean, sure, from the TPTB point of view I clearly see the benefits of keeping the sheep in separate pens, but how exactly that could help this particular community?
I mean, what exactly does anyone think Q penetrated and disrupted?
It prevents any meaningful action. Also, it keeps those who could still actually resist into delusional state of thinkging that all that's happening somehow happens for good. Trump has betrayed every promise he has ever given, yet, blinded by the lies of Q his base still believes in him somehow.
About the closest any of the trolls can come to a justified analogy is that Q is meant to keep anyone from taking action.
Yes, that is exactly what Q is doing. Does it seem like not a big deal for you? The task of Q is to hold off those who could actually resist. Normies won't resist. Normies do not even need to be more brainwashed beyond the point they already are. Q is not for them. Q is for those that have broken out of mainstream web of lies... only to meet next web of lies.
AI and NWO is one and the same. Literally. It is the very reason why they are pushing it so hard. Without AI they can't launch their worldwide totalitarion prison system.
