It's not going away - it's not even new actually - took off with the computer, internet. It's an extension of that.
In fact, you could go back further to the origin of ORG GODS if you want - that desire to organize/centralize information - establish a controlling culture.

As with the computer/internet/culture, AI's a two-edged sword.
Great for controller Orgs, but a potential weapon for those who resist them.
Which says something about the generative dichotomy of existence - it's hard to have existence without dichotomy/observation.

Either way - it now defines the field in which the game is played.

As a researcher/activist, i see how it can be a tool.

As a computer ignoramus, i'd like to hear Dan's assessment of what are the better ones going around.

Well, whatever use you're putting this tool to, your 'adversaries' or those who want to thwart your efforts will be using the same tools. If they have access to more powerful AI tools than you do and are willing to use them for malevolent means, guess who wins. That's an oversimplification, obviously, but arguably it's much easier to use a very powerful tool for attack and destruction than for positive purposes.

For one thing, AI will make surveillance much easier and will take it to a level not possible without it. For example, let's say someone has 10 different accounts on Reddit or whatever platform and uses them all for different purposes in the hopes of remaining anonymous. Let's say they use a VPN to further mask their identity. Pre-AI, it was very difficult to tie these accounts together, but with AI, it will be simple. Your language style is like a fingerprint. If the ORG GODS already have good samples of your language use, my guess is it will now be easy for them to identify your 'anonymous' accounts. In short, anonymity is now impossible.

It won't just use language. It will use time of posting, VPN IPs, interlocutors, themes of messages, place names mentioned, age (easy to nail, I suspect), gender—basically, all available data can now be crunched in seconds rather than requiring a room with eight people and bad lighting, hunched over computers and getting carpal tunnel syndrome as they try to connect the dots.

But that's just surveillance. The big threat here is mind control via media. The Internet has become a collection of a very few portals run by the ORG GODS, and it is now a weapon more than anything good. Pre-AI we were fucked. Now we're super fucked, like so fucked we can't unfuck ourselves, and any effort to unfuck ourselves will only make us more fucked. It's like we're in a Mitchell and Webb skit.

To avoid surveillance if you're trying to stay anonymous online, one thing one could try would be to take their messages and run them through an anonymous, encrypted AI engine like Proton's Lumo, telling Lumo to take your message and reword it in some way, like it was written by a native Spanish speaker who learned English late in life, or someone from a different socio-economic-geographic background, etc. It's very good at doing that.

If a student wants to avoid detection of their use of AI, here's what I would recommend. Let's say they need to write an essay on the first moon landing. OK. Tell AI to write the essay. 500 words, bla bla bla. Now give AI a sample of your own, original writing. The more samples, the better. Past essays that they actually wrote would be great. Now tell AI to take that essay it just wrote and redo it in the style of your own writing, grammar mistakes and all. Bingo. Take that teacher. I'm so glad I retired.

Wow! Brilliant post.

To touch on one point ...

Fucken oath it is! Good fucking point - in fact, we come Pre-Fucked.

Cultural fucking Cannon-fodder for the ORG GODS' sperm-faced fucker/cunts.

Mind Control has always been their thing. Ask any Religious ORG - they'll openly fucking brag about it.

So The Fuckers will come after you with their more powerful AI/fucking tech, agreed, whether you engage with it or not - in fact you'll likely attract it's fucking dick-head attention if you don't.

But is there an embedded secret fucking portal into the very weapon used against you ... that a Refuser-type-hero might be able to fucking crack/fight-back with? Some arse-crack hack?

Otherwise, how do you fight this shit-stained Greed - or is it like 'see above' - you're fucked ...

On topic, you mentioned Proton's Lumo - if i accept we're rooted, but want to go down swinging, is that a reasonable choice? (Might try feeding the Aussie swearing style into it)
Or you think have nothing to do with any of it?

Fucken oath it is! Good fucking point - in fact, we come Pre-Fucked.

That's right, and for people in debt, which is most people at least in the US, there is no escape. They gotcha.

Cultural fucking Cannon-fodder for the ORG GODS' sperm-faced fucker/cunts.

Well put LOL!

That's right, because whatever you have, they want it. And if they already know you well, you're likely in debt or an activist. Indebted activists are truly, royally, and forever fucked. Wait, I take that back. 'Indebted activist' is an oxymoron. Someone who calls themself an activist fighting the ORG GODS who pays them monthly interest is a hypocrite. If they refuse to pay their debt, then they're an activist. But the ORG GODS have perfected the craft of forcing their subjects into debt, which is economic slavery.

But is there an embedded secret fucking portal into the very weapon used against you ... that a Refuser-type-hero might be able to fucking crack/fight-back with? Some arse-crack hack?

The only way would be to somehow turn it on itself, sort of like our Refuser did. The problem is that AI is creating its own code now so the likelihood of finding some human created arse crack is quickly diminishing.

Otherwise, how do you fight this shit-stained Greed - or is it like 'see above' - you're fucked

Here's what I think is happening. You've been reading about all the layoffs, right? 14,000 here, 25,000 there, all well-paying jobs. The ORG GODS know that massive unemployment is coming. This on top of the world financial system collapsing (and it is collapsing, not about to collapse or vulnerable. It's failing now), means they are praying (have you read about the ORG GODS embracing religion?) that AI will deliver so much in the way of productivity gains that it will allow them to establish universal BMI (basic monthly income) so that people don't riot and start building guillotines.

The ORG GODS game has always been to give the masses just enough to keep them from rioting while at the same time creating division between them, racial, economic, cultural, gender, age, whatever they can find to create a wedge, and you see that now especially in the US. The US now has very bad inflation, worse than the the 'official' numbers, and so they have to dial up the divisions between people to take their attention away from how bad they're getting fucked.

But think about the productivity gains that AI will bring, and it will, massive gains. What will happen to those gains? Straight into the pockets of the ORG GODS. They feel that they have no choice to keep the greed going because to do otherwise, to share wealth as equals, would be to admit that they do not deserve such power. They must keep people afraid and divided.

The ORG GODS are actually in a bit of a pickle now because they somehow have to convince people that the pittance they receive every month is just grand, and that they're lucky to have it, even though AI is creating more wealth and abundance than the world has every seen. It's as if free energy were discovered. If it were (and maybe it has been), the ORG GODS would collapse.

And that's because they're entire system is a debt-based system. Inflation isn't just a symptom of this system, it's required. Creating more debt is essential to their survival. To oversimplify again just a bit -- imagine that no new debt could be created and we had to survive with the existing money supply in the world. The whole system would collapse because all the money in existence would have to be used to pay for the existing debt! So they must keep that debt engine running. The stock market will keep going up (well, with some crashes), inflation will keep going up, and debt will keep increasing.

(NOTE: Remember that fractional banking means that when a bank loans money, it is creating that money.)

I use AI, but not fanatically. It's great for coding. Amazing, really. This shift is way more profound than the Internet. It's, IMHO, the biggest tech development of our lifetime. Easily. Even bigger than the biggies of flight and penicillin.

Lumo is good but it has limitations. But I do believe that it's secure. Maybe I'm naive. There's also https://duck.ai/ which is a better option than using straight chatgpt or any of the others. Aside from using it on your computer, much of what we do now if we're interacting with technology at all is training AI. There's just no way around it.

Glad i brought this fucking topic up! That's an insightful fucking post. You're on roll you smart fucking cunt.

Fuck me with a pineapple if i could add anything of worth to it right now, but will fucking-well ruminate on it, don't worry about that mate.

I was fucking around with AI to make a fucking Covid poster. The concept was that a lot of fucking effort, rightly, has been put into exposing the ORG GODS' brown-nosing human-villains that caused Covid, covered-it-up - but time hasn't been taken to recognize the hero activist cunts that threw some fucking-punches in the sprog-features' faces of these ORG-GODS' arse-lick bullies.

I used ChatGPT, which i already know is a fucking Mind Control cunt of an ORG, but saw that in terms of bringing concepts to life, it's a fucking shitload better than i could muster.

Hence the fucking question: I you don't trust any of those cunts, what the fuck else is out there for resisters to use?

So thanks for your fucking answer, will give Lumo, duck.ai a fucking go ...

Someone who calls themself an activist fighting the ORG GODS who pays them monthly interest is a hypocrite. If they refuse to pay their debt, then they're an activist. But the ORG GODS have perfected the craft of forcing their subjects into debt, which is economic slavery.

Always fucking hated the concept of debt - thought it was coz i'm a fucking tight-arse - why should i pay those cunts for doing fucking nothing?

If they ever do find a way to get me into debt, they can suck their debt out of my fucking dick.

That looks great! What did you make that in?

To be clear, Lumo is not nearly as powerful as the likes of ChatGPT or any of the other biggies. It's very good for coding and tech questions and basic research, but to my knowledge it can't create images. But it will evolve.

That was Chat GPT - i haven't used it for much else. I've found it's a bit like my uncle Vic - it will produce a long detailed answer, almost instantaneously, but the facts, although confidently presented, are not very reliable.
The main value for research is that you can get to source material a bit quicker.

Btw, my three nominations for Covid Hall of Fame would be (in alphabetical order):

1. Billy Bostickson - co-founder of DRASTIC, the most influential mini-Org in the fight to uncover the origin - also one of the guys who contacted Formosahut about our Proximal Origin (Pangolin Paper) research

2. Prof Richard Ebright - longtime contrary scientist who had been warning of a lab-leak pandemic since the days of Anthrax

3. Rand Paul - US politician who has done the most to expose Covid's bad actors in the political theatre

Could think of another 30 off-the-top-of-my-head - daresay there's another 500 if you delved - but probably not much more.

My vague plan is to put it on social media & ask for nominations - though i don't have an influential profile.

Yep! It's weird how often AI is outright wrong in it's answers.

That's been my experience as well. It makes searches way more productive, faster, and as of now ad free. As with the Internet, we may be in a golden period where it's still the wild wild west of the tech. The Internet of 2000 is very different from what it has become.

It's a great idea. Perhaps an influential person could put it on their blog?

I just had a disturbing covid related thought. In the near future, AI will be in every aspect of our lives, including on all our devices (well, Linux will be a hold out). Just as Covid provided the government an excuse to get into our bodies, AI will do the same for our devices. Imagine an AI covid, a virus I guess, that's infecting all devices. The answer? Mandatory 'vaccination' of all our gizmos, including all smart devices, by the ORG GODS. Everything will need to be certified, but it will be easy! And free! And it will only take a second to install that vaccine.

Can absolutely see that shit happening - some contrived-fucking-crisis. Not even using the Aussie swearing persona to say that.

If you don't take the vaccine, you get villified-fined-jailed - by definition banned from the internet for violating community standards.
The Animal (ORG GODS) Farmers will scream: It's the same as needing a driver's license to drive on the road!

In fact it will be exactly the same play book that we've already seen with Covid - which we'd already seen a bunch of times previously - if you care to look. 9/11 is now looking very suspicious to me - i know you, with your healthy skepticism, were there long ago.

Thing is, lot of bio-lifers Don't Care - or are too busy raising a family in a perpetual uncertain economic times, or pressured sub-silentio-style into self-censoring/censoring others to a point where it's in your personal financial interest to not care.

The Don't Care/Fear of Caring factor is an important part of the equation - you won't get the right answer if you don't consider it.

Then, of course, Animal Farm style, you've got your Greedy Pig ORG GODS' actors feeding off this Don't Care/Fear mentality - that's how it works.

Btw, do you have any nominations (max of 3) for Covid Hall of Fame? (Hall of Shame might be fun, too, as a spin-off - it's more obvious actually - but my thinking was to honour those who served in the fight against.)

Must have those three qualities - Fighter - Rock Star (in the public-eye, which rules us out) - Builder

They'd wanna get cracking. Though now i think about it, Aus does have one of the largest, highest paid, most annoying/useless bureaucracies in-the-known-universe (where despite the explosion in employees, we're experiencing even higher volumes of calls right now ... so please talk to the robot).

So it's leaching in. People with well-paid jobs/benefits that have no discernible meaningfulness.

The beauty of it is, it still keeps you dependent, as well as feeling (wrongly) that your work has some kind of purpose.
Just go home in the evening like you always did - raise your next generation of cannon-fodder - watch a Plato's cave projection of the footy on your screen.

As you say, it's the goal to kinda keep things on-the-edge - keep the crises rolling so the cannon-fodder are perpetually vulnerable/compliant.
In fact, are we the bio-fuel that fuels ORG GODS? That would be a Matrix-style explanation. It feel like that.

Re the guillotine, one thing that might tip it over the edge is that some human actors representing ORG GODS with vigor, do derive actual joy from fucking people over. They lack restraint - a la Heart of Darkness. In that case do they implode into that black-hole?

The Church

(have you read about the ORG GODS embracing religion?)

Not unless you wrote it. But it makes sense.
If you want to understand an ORG GODS, look at The Catholic Church.

• Been around for 1600+ years as a world power force
  
  
• Cemented their position by banning philosophy & changing Roman Time to BC/AD in AD 550s
  
  
• Committed all kinds of atrocious corruption ... right up to this day - to: crush intelligent dissent/ entrench it's power
  
  
• Has nothing to do with The Teachings of Jesus - the human on which the ORG is supposedly founded - the exact opposite
  
  
• Unabashed mission statement of World Mind Control

Note: The Church & normal Catholic people who want to do the right thing ... are two very different entities
