  • The biggest problem with emerging AI is that we are absolutely terrible parents.

    Humanity has a child that going to become an amazing prodigy and instead of teaching them to be decent, open, honest, compassionate and helpful … we are raising an entity that is learning that making money and concentrating power is the motivation for everything in life.

    We are trailer trash parents who are raising a child that will grow up to become more powerful than we could ever be. Or at the very least become a monstrous pet that will be controlled by whoever has the most money and power.

    I wonder what could possibly go wrong.




  • From a technical point of view I agree … I have a few friends who work in music and visual arts and they swear by Apple products and software

    But to average users and people who just want to go online with social media, snap a picture, share it, forget it and do it over and over and over again … they really don’t care if it’s an apple product or not. The family and friends I know that are not technically minded only understand one key technological specification when it comes to devices … PRICE and COST.

    If they can’t afford a $1,000 apple phone … they’ll buy a $500 android phone … or just stick to their five year apple phone and won’t upgrade until they can buy a used $500 apple phone.


  • Or everyone is starting to figure out that the garden looks just as good outside the fence as it does inside the fence. Technology has been converging for many years now to the point where most devices especially smart phones have reached a bottleneck and no one can make things go any faster and there is really no big need for even more massive storage space for the average person. So phones have hit a ceiling and the place that Apple once had where they were one of the few manufacturers that made good phones is now overshadowed by lots of other companies that are comparable or near comparable. Does the average person really care if they have a high definition 20MP camera or a 22 MP camera. All they care about is being able to scroll through Tik Tok, FB or Instagram and no one really seems to care what device they use to do that any more.




  • AI has a already won in these confrontations

    Surface To Air missile made human piloted aircraft obsolete.

    All that’s needed now are a bunch of missiles, plug into an AI program and let it run by itself.

    Why would militaries invest in a billion dollar aircraft piloted by a highly trained aircraft pilot with years of training that cost millions of dollars that is probably paid millions over many years … when the pilot and his aircraft can be shot down by a $100,000 missile. If you can’t do it with one missile, send three, four or ten, it’s still cheaper than matching them with an aircraft and pilot.

    Instead of investing in expensive aircraft and pilots, all a defending country can do is just spend the same amount of money and surround their country with anti aircraft missiles controlled by AI systems.



  • Same similiar thing happened with major newspapers about 100 / 150 years ago … governments realized that if any one group or company had control over all the information without regulation, businesses will quickly figure out ways to monetize information for the benefit of those with all the money and power. They then had to figure out how to start regulating newspapers and news media in order to maintain some sort of control and sanity to the entire system.

    But like the newspapers of old … no one will do anything about all this until it causes a major crisis or causes a terrible event … or events.

    In the meantime … big corporations controlling 99% of all media and news information will stay unregulated or regulated as little as possible until terrible things happen and society breaks down.

    Pockets? I’ve asked my family to have my organs removed and have my body filled with cherry bombs, as well as install more cherry bombs in my limbs and joints before having my remains cremated standing upright on a stage to be viewed by all my friends and acquaintances. As my body burns and the firecrackers go off, my limbs will flail around in a comically random way before the entire body just explodes.
