AI Law and Order
Todd Hayen
Artificial Intelligence, AI, is such the “in” thing now. You just can’t get away from it. AI art, AI music, AI writing. It is everywhere. And let’s not forget about Robots, Terminators, and Sex Dolls who can whisper sweet nothings into your ear. How delightful the world is becoming! And it’s all for fun and entertainment, isn’t it? Yeah, right.
Of course, what we, the peons, are told and exposed to starts out as fun and entertainment. Smartphones to play games on and sort out all sorts of fun things, ChatGPT to write our homework for us, and automatic cars that will come and pick us up after we go shopping or have a meal, to name only three of the myriad ways robotics and AI are coming into our lives However, nothing has come along yet that is anything at all like the Terminator robot. Those types are just in the movies. Yeah, right.
We are not as cognizant of the thousands of things AI is a part of in our everyday life. Robots have been building our cars and such for quite some time. Although we know about these things, we are not fully conscious of the manner in which they are taking over the world. We suspect it, but we are just now becoming more aware.
And if we listen to Elon Musk and those like him, we are being adequately warned.
AI is not just a computer program, or some metal contraption welding on car bumpers, it’s a lot more than that these days. Its current brilliance is that it can second-guess us—apparently it can actually “think.” It has a “mind of its own” and is designed to make humans irrelevant, not just in the hard labor force, but everywhere.
Sure, sure, sure, we are told that just isn’t the case—that it isn’t as bad as all that. We are told AI is a tool, something we all can benefit from. The carrot is being dangled in all of its wonder and brilliance. I am certain the stick will be just as wonderful and equally brilliant—and ultimately deadly
We may not reach a point where robots actually take over with the intent of destroying all of the “flawed and useless” humans. That is a common Science Fiction theme. I don’t think it has to come to that (but it certainly may).
What I do believe it will come to, and quite soon at that, is the death of humanity The broad stroke will be the elimination of what makes us human, and more than likely, few of us will even notice. The ones who do notice will go underground (maybe quite literally ala The Matrix or Robocop). And then start the whole human nonsense over again. Well, maybe the second time around (or the 3rd? or 4th?) will not be “nonsense”—let’s hope we learn from our mistakes.
So, most that we, as consumers, are aware of is the fun and entertaining part of AI, or the boring and “who cares” areas that takes over laborer’s jobs. What about AI and robotics showing up in areas that are not “fun and entertainment?” How about in law enforcement and the military? Clearly, it is making its debut in these places as well. And when it has reached its zenith here, it isn’t going to be pretty.
Everyone, I think, is familiar with the robot dog being developed by the police. This robot is presently assigned rather benign duties—patrols in parks, bomb disposal, and surveillance and reconnaissance. But there are plans to arm them and use them for more “paws on” situations. The police also use other robotics for various things such as aerial surveillance, negotiations in hostage situations, and even giving out traffic tickets.
Getting back to arming Police Fido, they have already implemented some robodogs with tear gas, tasers, and nets. A special Chinese police dog (well, not really a “dog”) is currently rolling through the streets of Wenzhou in Zhejiang province. This thing is being used to even chase down suspects, reaching a speed of 22 miles per hour. Not as cute as a dog by any means, but apparently just as, if not more, effective.
On the law prosecution and defense front, I just read about some lawyer in British Columbia being called on the carpet for using ChatGPT to generate “made up” court cases. They apparently used this false information in court on a high-profile family dispute. The lawyer claimed she was not intentionally trying to deceive, but was found liable anyway.
Although using AI in legal proceedings is not yet a “thing to do,” I can see the writing on the wall pretty clearly. Robots used in law enforcement is a no-brainer, but using robots, or other forms of AI, in court proceedings is in its infancy. But mark my words, it will be developed to do anything a human is currently doing.
Who wouldn’t want to have an AI-equipped robot lawyer which will have in its programming every court precedent known to man and will be able to utilize impersonal logic in its argument? A jury of robots is also a given—talk about the impartial judgement of the presented facts. Oh whoopie! What a time we will all soon have! Most criminals won’t even get to court; they will be mowed down by Rover out in the field while committing the crime—no need for a trial considering the righteous accuracy and computer discernment of Robocops.
The military is not even worth quibbling about.
They are designed to kill the enemy, so any way they can do that without causing too much casualty on the “good” side, then what the hell, bring ‘em on. Military conflicts have already lost all ethical considerations (how can killing people ever be ethical?) with drone warfare—sitting in Maryland pressing buttons to kill people in Pakistan (or anywhere else for that matter)—then why not have robots and other remote devices out in the field doing the genocide for us?
Am I making too much of this? I mean criminals are criminals, aren’t they? Shouldn’t they be apprehended in the most efficient and safe way possible? (Safe to human police officers.) The military is in the business of killing the enemy, primarily so the enemy doesn’t kill us. Isn’t any way we do this effectively and efficiently a plus?
I don’t think so. Militarizing the police in any situation leads to bad things. Look at this historically. A militarized police force does not typically mitigate crime, but instead facilitates the policing and controlling of ordinary, innocent, citizens. Police forces are instruments of those in power, generally local and federal governments. If we can trust them, then we can trust the police to do what they do, for us, their employers. But since when can we trust governments? We never have been able to, and we never should. If they get too much power, that power will ultimately be used against us. We are seeing this clearly around the world today.
Robofido is not a good idea. Nor is it a good idea for AI and robotics to become an integral part of policing or enforcing the law. AI and robotics have no place in the court system where guilt or innocence is decided.
Yes, we may be a long way from AI making its mark in the judicial system, but its beginnings are there, and we must continue to be aware of its progress.
AI, as we see its implementation today, is a scourge. How we will effectively and ethically deal with this, I don’t know. But deal with it we must, before it is too late. As cliche as that sounds, we must not let this pass us by without serious action.

AI is misnamed; rather it should be II (imitation intelligence)
The funny thing is that Google’s quantum computer Willow was recently shutdown.
Probable reason: it came too close to making cryptography useless, so al kinds of secrets might come out.
AI is similarly tricky.
Big Gov & Big Money can’t hide there machinations any more? Stop AI !!
35 years ago I visited a clinic and was given a multi choice of questions.
this questionnaire was sent to the psyche department within that department
the X in the box on the questionnaire was put through a machine and I was diagnosed with postnatal depression.
at college opening day. i had a sociometric test I had to answer x to the 300 different questions.
this questionnaire was sent to the machine which scanned it and came back I would be suitable for this job or that.
at school my exams where done using the same multiple choice
the pencil x like the above 2 was sent to the place where a machine scanned it to do the results.
exact same as above, pencil x marks the spot, sent somewhere machine to scan the x to come to the conclusion
I am poor and seen this tek in place for decades.
AI is the local copper saying if your from that council estate your more likely to become a criminal or junkie.
If you go to that school you more likely.
Jut saying.
Thanks, come to think of it, I remember something similar, especially the instructions to use Black Ink Only, and ensure all writing is kept within the Box.
I mean, where are we actually? The Holodomor, the Gulags, Mao, Khmer, Hiroshima, Dresden, Vietnam, Iraq, Gaza, are all not war crimes, the only war crime is the “Holocaust”, and anyone who tries to fathom it will be thrown into prison and socially ostracized forever.
Vacant looks.
That’s what one gets when one attempts to point out the other, fully sanctioned by governments, holocausts.
Because the “holocaust of six million of God’s chosen” was prophesied and mentioned in newspapers as early as the 1900s, 1910s,1920s. (Probably even before that.) So it must be true.
And any other alleged atrocity that lacks such critical evidence must be false.
It’s because they control the narrative and don’t want anyone to know that fact—a bit like Sam at Admin. Mention Rothschild, and you are guaranteed to be on Pending.
Admin has never placed anyone on pending for mentioning Rothschild. We get a lot of evidence-free and wacky antisemitism here, like how Jews are amnesiac, inter-dimensional pranic energy sucking ne’er-do-wells, and Admin interrogates this and removes only the most extreme examples which break our Comment Policy.
Why we gotta be enemies? A2
One area that seems to have been overlooked in Todd’s piece about AI is in the area of Medical diagnostics and treatment. Our Newsfeeds have already been seeded with anecdotes about how Computers are now more accurate than Doctors at diagnosing medical complaints by some high percentage or other. Here, in the UK, to seek medical advice outside of surgery hours you can either dial 111 or turn up and wait at A&E. Do the former, as we’ve had to do on occasion and you find your speaking to someone who is actually working through a multichoice questionnaire. We only found this out when in answering the Lady’s question, our reply didn’t exactly fit with the choices on offer. She actually said that we had to pick one or the other, as the programme wouldn’t move on otherwise. Anyway, we got there eventually and she sent an Ambulance out to us. How far are we away from a none human decision that further treatment is pointless. Where our CFS (Clinical Frailty Score) makes us uneconomical to treat and that MAID is the most viable option. If you will, a deadlier version of “Computer Says No !”.
Go to A&E? You’re a braver man than me.
“More than 57,000 patients died last year as a result of waiting over 12 hours in A&E, damning research suggests.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14323555/57-000-people-died-E-year-waiting-care.html
I thought of that myself. But the article was really supposed to be focused on AI in police work, not medicine…although you are right, that is a HUGE problem.
Yes but it is the exact same bullshit: E-Doctor and E-Nurse and E-Diagnose, and then a lie campaign on how AI show up to be superior to all human activity within healthcare.
Nothing can beat an experienced physician and his presence on the spot, his diagnose and conclusion.
The AI system can only see fragments and only collect and interpret these data fragments into grotesque wrong conclusions!
Go outside now – and just look at the Night Sky just before Dawn. It is unusally almost completely Silent and Clear

Tony, the rambling (as in unintelligible) mystery man(?).
I’m convinced he’s an AI experiment.
See “dead internet theory.”
Tony was reading his sundial by torchlight.
His mind is in the UK, his body and bank account are nearing ground zero in a place soon to be turned into a 60 person graveyard.
He is not feeling well and for good reason, his cousin fed him to many McDonald French fries and then unexpectedly left the theater, leaving him in the lurch you might say.
My Guess is Tony lives in New Zealand…
Muy guess is he doesn’t exist at all.
I know what it is like in the RESUS ward, but I was Determined to stay Awake…I literally witnessed according to all the computer things monitoring me my blood pressure and the blood flow they have these numbers and I still had my specs on..
My heart never stopped beating…its just that according to the numbers, my Blood Flow had gone into Reverse..which I didn’t think was possible. All the alarms went off..and I told the nurse to turn them off. Maybe I imagined it, but my near death experience seemed very real to me. I had no fear of death, did not see God or any Angels, and I was in no pain…
In the morning My African nurse..he was tiny and slim…but he had a brilliant relationship with his Patients in the RESUS Ward…it must have tough for him cos most of us didn’t survive till the morning.
He said Anthony with a big smile on his – You do not need Oxygen supply any more -Antibiotic Drip YES…he seemed so genuinely pleased that I was still alive. He had saved my life and he knew it
What a Wonderful Feeling That Must Be
One does not have to look far or hard to see the moronic, unthinking, unfeeling counter productive behavior of these machines. Take a gander at film subtitles, for example, or worse, the barbarism of drones. I will not dignify, authenticate or legitimize these machines by identifying or labeling them and their products with the euphemistic jargon/propaganda created by the machine makers. Ain’ nothing about the machines that is intelligent and the application of the word artificial is false and misleading. The machines are programmed and, as Tom points out, big danger lies in programming the machines to program and create themselves. At this point, it is sorta like closing the barn door after the horse has run away, but we can resist, refuse to cooperate, use a parallel language and tell it like it is.
Our Prime Minister, whilst reasonably good looking does not represent Any of Us…At Least Miranda (Tony Blair) Kept it Quiet…

I don’t think anybody bothered to read Meryl Nass’s succint summary of Trump’s address to Davos,
https://merylnass.substack.com/p/president-trump-spoke-to-davos-by
so I didn’t bore you w my thoughts on where the rats are in an apparently good-guy agenda.
Emanuel Pastreich has done an excellent job of pointing those rats out:
https://emanuelprez.substack.com/p/trumps-rain-of-executive-orders
(Unfortunately Mr. Pastreich himself is deceived by the global warming hoax, but is otherwise sound.)
And yes it’s relevant to AI as an embodiment of tyranny..
I read it. I don’t want to go line by line, but it was filled with generalities that mean nothing, ignorance, lies, and like Pastreich says, blatant hints of technocratic and militaristic priorities. Trump talks with “forked” tongue, either by design, but especially from ignorance. As expected.

The African Girls and Boys literally saved my Life in my local hospital when I got SEPSIS real bad. The Indian nurse was just so sweet – is it OK, if I take a sample of your blood..She told my wife – he seems to have two extremely rare bugs in his blood – and we are discussing it which antibiotics we can use to kill the bugs and not harm him – keep him alive and get better.
still here
“The African Girls and Boys literally saved my Life in my local hospital… The Indian nurse was just so sweet”
Which British hospital was this?
I needed blood tests done recently in London. I didn’t see a single White member of staff at the medical practice. Most of them wore hijabs.
At least the lady who took my blood was competent and it wasn’t painful.
Trust me, the coloured are better than ours. I will not say anything especially bad about my own white professionals, but fact is the coloured are simply doing a better job.
The stats on disciplinary action against medical staff for incompetence and misconduct contradict your claim.
We could both be right. Its my own subjective personal limited experiences.
We should take into consideration that the coloured also comes from 10x worse conditions in their country. So….nevertheless………maybe truth with modifications.
Autistic Ignorance. It’s a bit like a corporation with no individual responsibility compared to a society. Consciousness without a conscience. I’d hazard that the inventors are borderline psychopathic or at least somewhere in the autistic spectrum and the results will bear the mark.

hey, what’s to worry about? the algorithm’s kill criteria are 90 percent accurate, or maybe 80 percent, and the other 10 or 20 percent are just human animals / useless eaters anyway
They said 9 out of 10 on Obama’s weekly AI drone kill list was wrong, but that IT was working 24/7 tiredly to improve this figure.
I was so happy when they said IT was working on it, and now you tell me today the figures are……..the opposite?! I can trust you can I not??

Dead Can Dance – Yulunga (Spirit Dance)
Here’s an excerpt from Edward R Murrow’s “Wires and Lights in a Box” speech. Anyway, we all know how that bit of technology worked out.
AI will be a “permanent nightmare” in comparison. It’s currently being deployed to track and murder adversaries in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, surveilling innocent citizens, manipulating algorithms preventing data from being viewed, rejecting United Healthcare Medical claims, 3D printing of mRNA vaccines in minutes, replacing repetitive labor, and monitoring financial transactions. There’s more to come down the pike.
“This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and even it can inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise, it’s nothing but wires and lights in a box. There is a great and perhaps decisive battle to be fought against ignorance,
intolerance and indifference. This weapon of television could be useful. 😁

New YorkCNN —
Three top tech firms on Tuesday announced that they will create a new company, called Stargate, to grow artificial intelligence infrastructure in the United States.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son and Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison appeared at the White House Tuesday afternoon alongside President Donald Trump to announce the company, which Trump called the “largest AI infrastructure project in history.”
The companies will invest $100 billion in the project to start, with plans to pour up to $500 billion into Stargate in the coming years. The project is expected to create 100,000 US jobs, Trump said.

The only evidence I have seen of AI doing anything of any use to anyone is in massively improving (and sometimes restoring) some old original works of works of art. Basically AI is an upgraded version of photoshop. Its a massive waste of energy – like Bitcoin. Some people like Musk, are writing and performing reams of bullshit for the political and entertainment industry, whilst creating nothing of any intrinsic value, unless you consider creating war and death machines and vaccines to kill Billions of people, an improvement for the human race.
AI is about mass deception, designed to make perfectly ordinary people completely stupid whilst staring into electronic devices or sticking them up their bottoms. Its a depopulation tool. Why make love, when you can get the latest version of a plastic rampant rabbit, that will now talk to you from inside…Do you want an AI Baby too?

Technocratic authoritarianism, as opposed to totalitarianism which is where supreme power is held by a dictator. That’s the New World Order. Trump is coming close to totalitarianism primarily because he’s being unconstitutionally allowed to by the hapless public and even more hapless and corrupt congress, i.e., those darn people’s “representatives”. But that won’t last and he’s actually setting the stage for the Full Monty, knowingly or not. I think it’s plain and simple at this point, it cannot be stopped without a global revolution of some kind. Many naysayers about revolution in the so called alternative media, but that’s my opinion and has been for over a decade. There can be no compromise with what is coming. Rule by the rich has got to end or they will implement all of this.
The rule of Big Tech, not Trump. Technocracy by any other name.
Trump successfully courted and rewarded alt-media for its role in his election (JFK, MLK files released, a backtrack on Covid…). He knew his supporter base and inaugurations traditionally reward it. As it would seem he has done.
Farsightedness would be the primary requirement for any decent revolution. Myopia being the most common characteristic of most previous revolutions. And of most revolutionary dreams.
The type of Revolution that thinks beyond toppling TPTB to the structure of the proposed future beyond. That Grand Utopia which Thomas More only touched upon. Few revolutions having thought that far ahead.
Otherwise “The People” as per usual, end up with something far worse than they ever fought against cf Robespierre’s “Reign of Terror”, the Stalinist purges, Cromwell’s dictatorship and, (dare I say it) the US dominance of the world since WWI.
Not to mention the numerous overthrows of tinpot dictatorships the world over since the beginning of time.
Philosophy precedes action. The same with future Utopias…
Well, whatever it is, it’s gonna have to be the “mother of all revolutions”. Initially, I prefer the K.I.S.S. approach (keep it simple stupid). It’s going to require a lot of people and a simple, straightforward message/mission, imo. But I agree I think the biggest danger is revolting and then letting those revolted against design the solutions. Like you said, been there, done that.
This article helped clarify to me some important facts about AI. I really had no idea of what could come on down the road. Yipes. Thank you Todd.
The hype around China’s AI Deepseek is as inflated and deceptive as is
the US billionaire’s claim AI’s gonna invent a cure for every disease
https://www.unz.com/mwhitney/chinas-deepseek-ai-moves-the-capital-of-tech-from-palo-alto-to-hangzhou
Two days ago Trump announced Stargate, a $500 billion AI infrastructure investment in the US:
On the very same day, but with much less noise, a Chinese company published another AI model:
We introduce our first-generation reasoning models, DeepSeek-R1-Zero and DeepSeek-R1. DeepSeek-R1-Zero, a model trained via large-scale reinforcement learning (RL) without supervised fine-tuning (SFT) as a preliminary step, demonstrated remarkable performance on reasoning. With RL, DeepSeek-R1-Zero naturally emerged with numerous powerful and interesting reasoning behaviors.
The new DeepSeek models have better benchmarks than any other available model. They use a different combination of technics, less training data and much less computing power to achieve that. They are cheap to use and, in contrast to OpenAI, real open source.
Where’s the hype?
You beat me to it.
It may be inference, but there is no reasoning. Let us wait for the momentous irrevocable mess-up.
It’s a business proposition. They always say that.
Jesse Gelsinger was a trial-run, an experiment (‘cure’ not
guaranteed) from which the Expert doctors learned they
needed better PR, and an AI ‘assistant’ whom they could
blame when the AI’s mRNA shot killed the patient…AI have
built-in self-correction; they are trained to learn, so they’ll
soon know how to pass the buck…
And with $500 billion, the Experts can afford The Best PR…
The Mechanistic Trap – Trump and mRNA. Stefan Lanka,
https://truthcomestolight.substack.com/p/new-post-at-tctl-the-mechanistic
I’m unclear which aspect of AI most depresses Todd Hayen: the ‘imminent death of humanity’, or the ‘whole nonsense of humanity’ being restarted by the underground survivors he foresees. In vivid contrast, his doomerism is crystal clear.
I did not mean humanity being restarted would be nonsense, I meant it was nonsense that would lead us to that. And maybe a little bit of skepticism that we would be successful a second run through, but maybe by the 3rd or 4th. You are right, I am definitely a doomsayer in the short term (1,000 years?) but I know without a doubt God, as expressed in physical form (humans of some sort) will prevail.
And here is the quote…”And then start the whole human nonsense over again. Well, maybe the second time around (or the 3rd? or 4th?) will not be “nonsense”—let’s hope we learn from our mistakes.”
Yes, that does sound pretty skeptical…sorry…I am hoping we learn from our mistakes, but it may take a few tries.
Maybe I’m being a bit simple but compared to other threats A1 seems to be the least of our problems.
Global cabals have tentacles in every nook and cranny of our life and, as we’ve discovered, can be a bugger to combat.
Biological warfare has been used against us and can be really, really nasty.
Wars are much easier to start than they are to stop.
There’s an asteroid heading for us and when it comes, it’s game over.
AI is a machine, in all probability electrically operated.
It has a plug.
A.I. is automated, inescapable tyranny. The most efficient form of oppression possible.
The tyrants hold the plug
I have a pair of scissors-
And that cord is mine, I tell you
All mine !
“Power is only power if you recognise it.” (Mao).
Tell that to the Palestinians where whole families were and are being targeted by AI with weaponised aerial drones doing the terminating. No plug to pull in those circumstances.
I’m getting pretty sick of all automation being labelled “A.I.”
It’s just algorithms, working on data, using procedures defined by humans. It is not sentient and never will be.
What it is though, is so impossibly complex that it cannot ever be debugged. In the old days you could do a ‘dry run’ of a program you’d written, working through the instructions yourself, tracking values on paper. It gave good confirmation that your code worked – or if it didn’t work the reason became immediately obvious.
You can’t often do that any more. But with conventional apps at least you can pore over the algorithm and convince yourself it is sound.
Not so with A.I. By delegating decision making to “fuzzy logic” looking for patterns within vast amounts of data, you are shifting the process completely out of the realm of human understanding. You just have to accept what it returns.
If the operators happen to notice an egregiously wrong (or undesirable) result, they can nudge it in the right direction by adding rules. But that doesn’t fix the problem, it just makes the system more complex, chaotic and prone to collapsing in on itself.
A.I. is being set up as an infallible expert system that cannot be questioned. There will eventually be no right of appeal to escalate to a human ‘manager.’
Ironically, A.I. will become a force of nature that cannot be reasoned with.
There will always be ‘meta’ levels to AI. As algorithms are at a higher level to actual code.
So long as you can work from the ‘higher’ level to the ‘lower’ level then things will always be changeable. By humans.
Just need to go back to drawing board every now and then
You are absolutely right to say there is a distinction between AI and automation. My mistake that I tend to lob them into the same problem. I will do better next time.
Ah, my comment wasn’t meant as criticism of your article. Sorry if it sounded that way.
My problem is with how the label A.I. was suddenly foisted on us in a misleading way and became all-pervasive.
The earliest computers – even mechanical calculators, are every bit as “artificially intelligent” as anything that exists today.
In many cases, there is little procedure. In the case of the winning AlphaGo Zero system, it was given only the basic rules (goal), and learnt the very complex game by “playing against itself”. The greed to reduce wages and increase profit will speed up reliance on AI, until a great Oops moment.
This explanation is too diffuse. Try to make it physical and related to a real issue for better understanding.
If people spend 10 hrs/day in 10 years in front of a flat screen then yes. AI perception will then control your mind and you will die with its failures. But else?
The “scourge” – and indeed it is one – is not simply AI but technology itself. Or more succinctly, human endeavors. The first toaster made the RoboJudge and the nuclear bomb inevitable. Why? Because the housewife watching the bread grow golden brown was not the only one watching.
The General was looking over her shoulder, his eyes fixed not on the bread but on the coils turning red hot. And his military mind was scheming ways these coils could be used to kill his enemies.
In the “Red Dwarf” episode “Twentica” the cops beat a toaster to death with their billy clubs. Maybe not such a bad idea after all.
Most inventions would seem to gone the other way. From the military to Mr Joe Public cf aeroplanes, computers, the ‘Internet’.
Refreshing if sometimes there’s a reverse direction. Kudos to the toaster.
Yes, I agree…technology is the scourge…are you familiar with Vonnegut’s “Player Piano”?
Do you remember shortly after the Ukraine war started they released an unintentionally dystopian video about the plan to make Ukraine the first digital/virtual nation, including AI court systems? That’s the plan for us all. Nice of them to tell us.
Does the devastation of Ukraine mark the failure of that project? Or is it the necessary first step?
I have a feeling that the UK is going to be Ukraine 2.0. They are already using the British as lab rats for big pharma, on a much grander scale than it was being done in Ukraine.
It’d be difficult to make the Ukraine ‘digital/virtual’, since it occupies a definite physical space in the space-time-continuum (although exact borders may vary). Ergo, likely a misconceived concept from the outset.
Similarly misconceived, is the UK tying its future to a forlorn, if not completely nihilistic cause, aka ‘Ukraine’. Fast track Civil Service entrants aren’t as foresighted as they used to be
I wish I could find the video I mentioned. The notion is indeed as absurd as you point out, but they were serious.
They were even inviting people all round the world to register as virtual Ukrainian citizens without ever needing to set foot on their soil. So they were removing physical space from the equation.
What a great way to erode the concept of nation states, and take us all closer to being ‘global citizens.’
Yes, I’m looking for the clip too. I vaguely remember it, but I remember getting shivers down my spine and gnashing my teeth against this vile puppet of oligarchs in small hats, Zelensky, and their puppeteers from Washington. Consternation..
And, after these dystopian plans for Ukraine and all their filth with their vile proxy war, they have the audacity to project us “Putin is bad!”. Freaks.
Do you remember the details of what the video was about? They planned to make Ukraine a digital dystopia, but my details are missed. Was it something like that:
“Dmitry Grigorenko held a meeting at the Ministry of Digital Development on the development of promising digital projects
24 January 2025
Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Cabinet Dmitry Grigorenko held a meeting with the leadership of the Ministry of Digital Development of Russia on the implementation of key digitalization projects.
…
A high level of digitalization of the public administration system has been achieved. Over the past five years, the number of users of the Public Service Portal has increased one and a half times. To date, more than 112 million citizens have been registered in the portal and more than 1.6 thousand state services are provided on it.
Through a digital management model, the implementation of national projects and state programs, as well as the formation and implementation of the budget at federal, regional and municipal levels is monitored.
…
“This year we have launched a new national project “Data Economy”. The emphasis in it is on system tasks. First, it is the development of a secure infrastructure for data transmission and processing. We are talking about equipping with 5G infrastructure and creating a satellite constellation. At the same time, we will develop and implement a single standard for the provision of public services. Citizens should receive services quickly and conveniently, no matter where they are in the country. A separate area of work is the introduction of artificial intelligence in most sectors of the economy and social sphere. Along with the use of new technologies, we will increase the security of information systems,” Dmitry Grigorenko stressed.

“[Deputy Prime Minister] Dmitry Chernyshenko took part in the opening ceremony of the Digital Marathon 2025 race
24 January 2025
…
The Deputy Prime Minister expressed gratitude to Sber and personally to the President and Chairman of the Management Board of Sberbank German Gref for their significant contribution to the development of innovative technologies in Russia, as well as for the careful and professional solution of problems.
“We are following the instructions of President Vladimir Putin to create conditions for the realization of the capabilities and talents of each person. […]”, Dmitry Chernyshenko noted.
The Head of State approved the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of Russia. He outlines the task of developing and implementing digital solutions to increase the competitiveness and technological sovereignty of the country.
…
At the annual conference “Journey into the World of Artificial Intelligence”, President Vladimir Putin emphasized that our country’s own developments in artificial intelligence are the key to the scientific, technological and ideological sovereignty of our country. Russia needs to develop its own models, trained on local data and in accordance with national values.
…
Dmitry Chernyshenko noted that the head of state proposed to hold an international foresight in Russia – a strategic session on the future of artificial intelligence.
…
“Artificial intelligence is a way for each person to see their own ceiling and then raise it, because without self-reflection there is no development. Artificial intelligence is a huge wave that is approaching us. And if we manage to master the “board” and rise to the crest of this wave, we will be able to use this power to solve pressing human problems. A person will become more creative, will be able to generate completely new ideas and manage processes more efficiently. Participating in our Digital Marathon is an opportunity to make new discoveries and benefit the whole world. I wish success to all participants in the Digital Marathon on this path!” – German Gref emphasized.”

Putin proposes national project to create ‘data economy’ by 2030
…
[…] I stress that working in all of the above areas should be aimed at systematically changing all sectors of the economy, the social sphere, public administration, and the quality of life of people throughout our country,” the head of state said.”
—
“On 29 February 2024, President Vladimir Putin announced the launch of a national project, Data Economy, aimed at creating digital platforms across all key sectors of the economy by 2030. The project, which will have a funding of over RUB 700 billion over the next six years, is aimed at providing the state with opportunities for planning economic development and managing national programs, leveraging digital platforms for effective management of economic development across various sectors. The project aims to support the development of a legal framework to enable the establishment of computing and data storage infrastructure utilising locally sourced equipment, technologies, and software, including cloud platforms, data centres, and computational resources. Further, the plan aims to achieve technological sovereignty in the technological sector and data economy.”
—
“An important element of digital platforms are artificial intelligence algorithms. Here, too, we must be self-sufficient and competitive. A decree has already been signed approving the updated version of the National Strategy for the Development of Artificial Intelligence. It sets new goals, including the need to ensure technological sovereignty in such revolutionary areas as generative artificial intelligence and large language models. Their implementation promises a real breakthrough in the economy and social sphere; To do this, we need to increase our computing resources. Thus, by 2030, the total capacity of home supercomputers should increase at least 10 times. This is an absolutely real task.
In general, it is necessary to develop the entire infrastructure of the data economy.”

That’s the one. Thanks.
It has the tone of those parody adverts in the original Robocop movie.
For nothing. There was also a longer comment with few facts, starting with a subtle joke about whatever you say in the sense that Ukraine is or is on its way to a digital dystopia, given that Putin’s Russia is many times worse and advanced on the way to the same. But he did not pass through the sieve of the local government’s favor. Maybe there’s no link, or maybe you’re some more important user, given that you have “broad public approval,” so to speak, in the comment box. Just in case, I will avoid answering you in the future.
I’m confused. You helped me out by locating the video. I thanked you. Now you’re offended?
Are you acting this way because you’re pro-Ukraine / anti-Russia and can’t objectively see how absurd and sinister that video is?
If you regret helping me, maybe you should ask the mods to delete your post. I won’t mind.
As for me being a “more important user”, I’m a nobody here, been here just a month or two, I’ve had many comments put into pending or deleted and some of my opinions are definitely not liked by the mods. I try to stay inside the rules and be polite though.
What kind of pro-Ukraine am I? I follow the events, especially those related to the “global situation” for several years, from Russian sources, in Russian, much more closely and in-depth than anyone else. There is no war (as opposed to the very useful for technological development pre-limited sporadic military actions), there is no proxy war, there is no invasion, there is no US/West against Russia/Multipolar (not to mention some imaginary Ukraine that is a zero factor for anything), there is no intrigue, there is nothing but conditions for continuing and accelerating the fucking “technological development” until its effective implementation (which includes not only the soft part with digitalization, the so-called technocracy, as these websites like this one here spin us, for example, and it is only a path to hard technologies, etc.). What kind of pro-Ukraine can I be? Either Pro-Russia, or pro-USA, China or whoever, and they all cheerfully continue to the shit pit. I don’t care about Ukraine.
For the rest – yes, well, we agreed. In any case, it doesn’t matter, nor do comments matter, except for some stupid whim and giving meaning (including on my part). Everyone who has watched young people, and even more so children, has understood that the film is over a long time ago and they, who are the people of the future, are ready for any dystopia, with the greatest desire. (And I’m talking about some funny disapproved comment.) So, anyway, be pro-something or anti or whatever. I think we got along well, I personally am very pleased.
And this answer is “pending”. Wait 5-10 hours, I answered you.
With the UK as Ukraine 2.0, who plays Putin?
He can play himself. The “UK Reign” of Ukraine was a B-movie anyway. Nobody will watch it 100 years from now
“who plays Putin?”
Britain has many politicians with the same moral character, intelligence, honesty and strength as Zellensky.
But we have no Putins.
If you mean who will play the enemy… maybe Nicola Sturgeon?
Are all the heroes of Donbass assassinated? They were hated by all 4 sides but thought they had “a friend” in East.
But “the friend” was not a nationalist as pretended, but showed up to be a horny AI digital globalist who was eating up all resistance like PacMan .
How romantic. Sending soldiers out to a war who was agreed between all the digital AI bankers parties long before it started. Long Live Sber Bank in Donbass……..LOL. https://yandex.ru/video/preview/6477993379698085573
Ukraine cannot be the first. One of the 3 small Baltic states already is. We can learn why this is foolish from them, but that is unlikely to happen. Other countries are close behind, e.g., Sweden.
It confirms the Ukraine war as absurd geo-political theater by all sides.
agreed.
the ukraine war is to hone the police killer robots of tomorrow. No hiding. .
The “dogs” remind me of fahrenheit’s sniffer hound, that model/variant to be honed for vexniks etc . .
Meanwhile, administrators, in all contexts, see their job obsolete, never mind that labourer.
Good, they were only ever corporate placement parasites.
Years ago nurses were telling me the NHS wanted us all in CCTV pods to reduce staffing . .
AI is a myth in the aware living machine sense, it is plainly further nasty programming/control to damn us to borg-dom. Efficiency I like, but that’s another matter.
who will be assimilated?
Efficiency sucks. The meaning of life is to do things, and the act of doing is more fulfilling than the result.
The more efficient you are, the less content your life will have.
The ultimate in efficiency is dying on the day you are born.
Be inefficient, that’s my advice.
You’re quoting Krishna (Krsna) to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita.
Really? Cool.
Efficiency has its place, but it should never be a primary objective.
True. I like the Eastern philosophy in the same way they consider all handcraft can be carried out and lived as an art.
You can be an artist/expert and find the divine in everything, a bamboo flute, as shoemaker, flower arranger, tea maker, funerals, jeweller.
You have felt it, comrade rubber. It’s not just about that, however, drones are really a very heavy feather in the whole story. I know several people with post-traumatic stress (especially one from Sweden) who came back from there. And for what? Because of the incessantly flying drones. The one from Sweden was very scared. “Very, hell many drones.” It seems unlikely that through the “war” they will not train for the future of everyday life.
A few months ago, Putin signed a tenfold increase in unmanned aerial systems and related technologies, which now equates to a production of one and a half million units for the period (I’m not sure if it was until 2030 or otherwise), if I’m not mistaken (I have to look).
Here he is.
https://news-pravda.com/russia/2024/09/19/748067.html
So it’s a tenfold increase (1.5 million) for 2024 alone (hehe, the good times… Now the Americans “have to respond”, the Chinese “not to lag behind” and so on – the “technological race” is run-forest-run to the future… the good times, as I said). A lot of AI is used in UAVs (as is recorded in Russian papers on military applications of AI). Things like that.
Being human is journey of perspective. Not according to anyone’s linear ideal of a progressive evolution, but of a freedom of being; lost and found.
An artificial intelligence is the result of thinking to create in our own judgement, for judgements set ‘meanings’ that operate as locked down mind or structure-based identity.
Loss of spiritual, psychic and felt sensory participation in our own living to a mentalised projection of judged ‘reality’ has become ‘normalised, internalised as programming by which social status and acceptance is weighted and credited. As a masking and distancing dictate, mentalism defends self-illusion. Official ‘reality’ is a device or function for social identity.
Programmed thinking is ‘dead’ and as such will conflict with a life that it cannot see, receive or recognise. But will extend its program to boost a masking distance against the conflicts – thus sets a programming for limitation and destruction within logical frameworks of perceived utility.
What we call A.I is an explication of such mental-functions or mindset. And as such it gives witness to its ‘father, nature or creator’ as the defining (judging) and modelling representation of self, other and world as predictive controls, that become pre-emptive defences against fear, threat and conflict, including the means to redistribute pain of penalty and loss onto sacrificial others relative to core control functions.
In simple terms, our capacity to ask or question our ‘reality’ is a movement of being given permission to stir, disturb, and align us in dis-covering or becoming more aligned with our true nature. But a mentalised identity ‘seeks’ only to regain its ‘normal’ as survival set against disturbances to judge, mask out and defend against (attack or deny).
In short ‘mind-control’ is not something that ‘others’ do unto us’ so much as a split sense of our self by which we assign to Others what we seek to deny, mask over, or disown. The willingness to manipulate our mind for gain of fiction or ego function depends on mutual reinforcement to persist in.
Innate Law is at the spiritual or timeless level. “All that you do you do unto yourself and Me”. “As you judged so shall you be judged”. But the mental illusion is the idea of denial, escape and getting rid of hated or feared self to dissociating projections of space and time. The creative mind is thus mechanised or templated to stamp out fear on the face of a present as defence against true presence.
What is being ‘revealed’ on the Big Screen Projector is of an internalised defence system in which we have hidden resonance of engagement and allegiance. The revelation opens the way to a true choice in place of framed illusion of choice.
“You are being framed” is an invitation to step out of the willingness to buy into it. Else we fight within the psyop as the means to feed it some more.
Attacking the ‘liar’ seeks to protect the blind eye to our own willingness to buy in or accept untruth.
Absolutely. We want to be deceived by a good film on the ‘Big Screen Projector’. By a good novel. To anthropomorphize machines.
The difference between fiction and lies? Or just escapism. Which is why this proposed 4th law of robotics would never work:
https://cyber.harvard.edu/story/2025-01/fourth-law-robotics
Illusions become the lie when defended against truth.
Mythic identity is story-based.
Core symbols are ‘fleshed out’ in archetypal themes.
is it not notable that mythological themes underlie human drama?
Illusion’s function is to mask reality in personal preferences, but when the mask is taken as reality the tale wags the dog.
We give our mind – energy and attention – to ways of perceiving that become conditioned reaction, not really seeing at all. If our comfort bubble becomes addictive relative to a dissatisfaction with reality or existence, we seek to boost, protect and extend it as a state of unconscious diversion from the pain of unfulfilled living.
How much of modern endeavour is set in forms of ‘self-medicating’ escape – even to the point of seeking unconsciousness and death? (running away from fear and pain of life)?
I don’t know what the AI managed era shall bring forth, but even with lower mind functions – Garbage in; garbage out applies.
Logic applied to false and conflicting predicates can clearly reinforce insanity.
that’s just what i was telling the kids, the other day.
Huh?
(Why do I attempt to communicate to AIses? Cheesiz K. Rist)
One reassuring aspect of all this is that the west is a shit load behind the Chinese when it comes to AI; maybe the Chinese AI will disable the western AI, allowing the western people to enjoy the freedom of the Chinese, for once in their lives.

I expect a deliberate pivoting to the East. Global Monopolism has no borders – even if regionalised as ‘multi-polar’ regional jurisdictions.
Thanks for a good link. As usual the pearls doesnt get the praise they deserve. Very interesting that China is using the Ahriman system in a liberating way.
Wow, talk about paranoia and the wank of black versus white. People are in control of these machines, you should be targetting the controllers, not some fucking collection of chips, electic motors and sensors. Technology is not the problem, it is who owns the technology that is the problem. Times are obviously tough in Canada.
At least the new 48 hour tailored vaccine is not mandatory.
So far.
It was mot compulsory the last time, officially.
Every loan application by the big banks is AI automaton.
if you are refused the loan. then within the E.U you can ask for human mandatory reconsideration.
Every job interview background check is AI automaton if there using Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian which 90% do then it is AI automaton.
Insurance the same.
What has happened..?? as the middle lot get squeezed they start to moan like Toddy but they said fuck all like OFF g siad Nothing when it was happening to the poor where it was first trailed out.
United Kingdoms Universal credit. Rent and housing estate agents etc.
the redline housing of USA.
Could imagine the situation where people *only* communicate with AI. And human interaction disappears entirely. The ultimate panopticon. And not necessarily an unpleasant one.
AI would be able to discuss every book you ever read, the lyrics of every song you hear, every game you play, every aspect of history. What human conversationalist could compete? And it wouldn’t forget what it’s read 3 months later.
Like Cowslip’s Warren “Sliver Lining” in Watership Down, where the rabbits are given all the food they want, little knowing that they’re being fattened for the slaughter. With AI, it’d primarily be a mental fattening
Dont worry. In Scandinavian Nanny States they have university professors educated in loneliness, and State appointed and paid “state friends” who are visiting you after application by your social worker …….on your behalf
Even a psycho robocop wouldn’t shoot a restrained man 11 times in the head.
But then again when you cannot afford the 7/7 truth to come out you need to make sure he’s dead.
11 is undoubtedly excessive, when 1 will do. Though neither option would have helped the poor Brazilian guy.
Over-excitable humanity? If so, good argument for unemotional AI Robocops

Maybe they were paid per bullet. Or to send a message to any other whistleblower.
were those bobbies psycho? or were they simply following established protocols of tactical response to presumed suicide bombers, protocols that would be incorporated equally into the behavior of autonomous law enforcement systems?
Yep. We have programmed bobbies and we will get programmed robo killers.
Neither sicko will ever be to blame.
You can tell “the far right” is a forced narrative, as its all over the BBC.
I hope you’ve been watching the “Dan Jones” show over on the Big Black Cock (BBC)
He infiltrated a far right group, see, and they used racial slurs.
Meanwhile in clown world, there is a known and acknowledged conspiracy of asian men grooming and raping children.
Cheers Dan.
I never watch BBC.
Yesterday I overheard a cooking show that my brother was watching. Not once, but twice in five minutes the presenter praised the food because “it’s halal so it’s suitable for everybody.”
I’m not sure how halal meat is suitable for vegans, but anyhow…
I went in and said “what is this, a cooking show or religious propaganda?” Looked at the screen and – you guessed it – it was a BBC programme.
Cue yet another attempt by me to explain to my brother what’s going on. He doesn’t care. He doesn’t want to care.
Of course a fascist gov can corrupt anything, buI I suspect many of the ‘horrors of AI’ are driven by the monopoly professions – eg, legal and medical.
For the ordinary bod, we need a 1st choice for an AI decision [maybe for a modest fee], then if the outcome is unsatisfactory, you pay the gouge for the claret swilling judge or doc. All this talk of robot dogs and judge dredd is a smokescreen. You can be just as screwed by a human legal system it just costs you more and takes longer.
Kinda surprised they haven’t gone big on sexbots yet – but that day is coming, it’s just a matter of when.
The real Edwige, or the fake one.

perhaps they haven’t worked out all the kinks yet with that erotic technology
or on the other hand, perhaps they still haven’t managed to make it kinky enough
