AI does not know if information or the images it produces is correct or not
The information may be obviously incorrect or less obviously so.
It is true that humans do not absolutely know if the information they produce is correct.
But they can normally see of it is obviously incorrect. They can get other people to check if the information is correct . There is a problem with group think and pear or many other pressures that will stop people seeing what is there to be seen. But if AI is told something is true like climate change or Covid it can only produce results in those parameters.
For safety critical systems the information needs to be deterministic with no randomness . If you ask AI many times to produce information with the same data , it will tend to produce different results each time.
What is or is not safety critical does that include the stock market or anything that effects planning .
I hear only talk.
I havent seen any concrete example of beneficial outcomes of AI. Only spells, sales talk and futuristic fantasies.
Take a bank. Your bank account whether private or a small or middle size business:
Previously you did trad book keeping:
Once a month you made an overview on revenues on one side, and expenses paid on the other. Summed up did you have plus or minus in that month.
Each 3 month you were counting the storage/reserves you have. How much have your employees/family taking to there own pockets, how much eqm or materials was lost/destroyed and needed replacement.
Each year you made it all up to a yearly report. How was this year done, how does the next year look. Easy and simple.
Then a computer nerd is arriving at the door. Now you guys should see how I can doo your way easier:
First we erect 30m high steel masts in your back garden, then we stamp everything with a QR code, then we put new 10x more expensive lamps in all Street Lights, then we erect small masts close to schools, universities, people 1-plan houses, and then we build a lot of big data.centres for AI all over the country.
Then we force you to buy Smart phones, Smart Computers and Smart meters
Because this will make you daily life……easier………….ehhh ok.
The personal/business etc. development idea is actually a transaction that takes place. You give a lot to the ‘AI’, your personal data, ideas, thought patterns, speech patterns loads of really useful data for training and populating data banks. It gives the service that the enquirer is looking for. Really making a big stick to beat our own backs with. I do not believe that it is intelligence, doing really fast searches and synthetic ‘opinion’ is not that, imagination, creativity it will never do. The language used around this artificial concept is really relentless in trying to make it ‘personal’ as if it could be intelligent.
Real human spirit is truly individual. Especially, creative ladies with

AI requires huge amounts of energy…. Google, Apple and the rest plan to build nuclear reactors all over the place to power it…. and the Chinese suddenly discover (or re-discover) a nuclear process that produces no radioactive waste and has no danger of meltdown.
How remarkably convenient!
Being a country with large reserves of a prized mineral has usually been a recipe for de-stabilisation and wretchedness (not wealth except in the hands of a local client elite, obviously). India and Brazil have the greatest thorium reserves – but places like Turkey and Egypt might be in trouble. And this new clean energy happens to be named after a Norse pagan god….
Thorium reactors are just as dangerous if no more dangerous than other reactors. Everybody knows this except for the ignorant and the suborned.
1. There is no “thorium reactor.”
2. You still need uranium – or even plutonium – in a reactor using thorium.
3. Using plutonium sets up proliferation risks.
4. Uranium-233 is also excellent weapons-grade material.
5. Proliferation risks are not negated by thorium mixed with U-238.
6. Thorium would trigger a resumption of reprocessing in the US.
7. Using thorium does not eliminate the problem of long-lived radioactive waste.
8. Attempts to develop “thorium reactors” have failed for decades.
9. Fabricating “thorium fuel” is dangerous to health.
10. Fabricating “thorium fuel” is expensive. T

Safety
Claim: LFTRs are intrinsically safe, because the reactor operates at low pressure and is and incapable of melting down.
Response: the design of molten salt reactors does indeed mitigate against reactor meltdown and explosion. However, in an LFTR the main danger has been shifted from the reactor to the on-site continuous fuel reprocessing operation – a high temperature process involving highly hazardous, explosive and intensely radioactive materials.
A further serious hazard lies in the potential failure of the materials used for reactor and fuel containment in a highly corrosive chemical environment, under intense neutron and other radiation.

I agree with much of the transhumanist concern expressed by the panel—especially the risk that AI becomes a surrogate for thought, a crutch that inexorably shifts us into dependency. The danger is real. But that only makes it more urgent to ask: can this tool be used to push back against the military-industrial complex that spawned it by mastering the message-making layer itself? Or must we accept that there is no escape from the gravitational pull of its Mcluhanesque matrix?
Perhaps there is a middle path—a Madhyamā—to resist our collective descent into the bio-panopticon. One that rejects not use, but unreflective ingestion of AI’s effluvia.
Like all dual-use technologies, AI in the hands of the ethically compromised will be deployed as a weapon system—engineered to manipulate, persuade, and pacify. The question is: do we counter this through abstention, or by mastering the grammar of temperature, top-k, and p-weighting—parameters that will define the semantic architecture of the “smart” city itself?
Hey look… a group of controlled opposition talking about AI… losers!
Hey look, the last word on this link, you weakest link.
Eh ? A.A. & Arian Antics abound, Butthead.
So, I’ll let the lady wise you up. Coz’ thur’ ain’t much point in
Educating you, scientifically.

The emergence of AI tools will create the stacks future
Middle posh stacks that live in Uni college type dooms.

If my experience with online website creation applications is any indication, AI is being used by these companies, to replace customer creators who are baffled by their crappy, idiotically designed software interfaces. Commands are thrown in a blender and sprayed-all-over-the-place. in sprayed-all-over-the-place categories. All they have to do is emulate desktop web creation software, which is logically organized. But no. So deploy AI so they don’t have to coherently design interfaces and functionality. If they haven’t already, they’ll probably go to AI writing the software, that will be even more anti-human, anti-logical, because only the AI will be able to use it. On the outside, I can see humanity becoming completely removed from the creative process of using software as a tool. On the inside, only AI will understand the rot they have made internally, and even the company employees won’t know what to do as the battleship takes on water, and externally humans flee these totalitarian tankers listing on the horizon.
And watch out for the pop-up ideological bots swarming to defend ARTIFICIAL INSIPIDNESS with all manner of dark lord piffle.
I have produced a few graphic user interfaces in the past (non informative name GUI)
I am always amazed by how bad many are. They will have a hole page or screen to display information but it will be mostly blank down in the bottom possible off page there will be a + mark that you have to find and realise that you have to click on or touch (hope your well calibrated) To get access to most options.
Or what seems like a full page with no indication that you can scroll down or to the side.
Colour schemes that can not be believed. touchable areas below other touchable areas so you skip past them. The most obvious functions like open are hard to find while obscure options like add extra space each line are in your face. Configurable interfaces where the option you want disappears never to be found again. New version with auto update that are worse than the previous version with no way to go back. Deep nested menus. These are just a few of the things that make me wonder could AI be any worse but it probably can depending on who is teaching it.
AI is the biggest voodoo boondoggle imaginable. They even allow it to continue to be called “artificial”. Hello??? All of the tech developments post say 2005-2014, are attempts to continue profiting after their products have peaked in usability. From user ownership of tools, to hyper speed designed obsolescence accompanied by company owned online-only rentals. This Rentier Business Plan keeps money flowing from servant-users, who used to be customers, serving no purpose whatsoever other than hosts for parasite zombie companies retired products being kept alive to extract money from ether. When folks begin to see the obvious and nasty fraud being executed upon them, hopefully all hell breaks loose. Come on folks!
You are good, guys (and you, Whitney), you are smart, you are cool, and so on, but I, as a student of Mr. Alexander Dugin, listen only to him.
Post-liberal right wants to try once more to make leap into the future. It wants to overcome liberalism as obstacle. That is the struggle to open the future, to make it open, unprescribed. That is who Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are. There is the term: dark accelerationism.
What means “dark” in dark accelerationism? It means not illuminated, not woke, rose, eco… It is male accelerationism, strong and hard. Trumpo-futurism demands special AI. Without woke censorship. Dark AI. That means: totally open, unprescribed, unpredictable. Free.
So welcome to the new post-liberal era of real freedom. Era of dark freedom.
Liberals are concerned that AI can turn “fascist”. And they prevent it from all their forces. Doing so they become fascists themselves. We need to liberate AI from liberals.

Are you sure it’s wise to only listen to one person?
GOD is One Person; Jesus is One Person.
Indeed.
Jesus is a personification NOT someone who actually lived… ffs.
ffs yourself, you ******* literary contraction ! … (Expletive Deleted)…
Dugin has already been thumbed down in his own Russian community where all his theories have been analysed by heavy academics as chaos bs. Dugin’s close realtionship to Putin is a media hoax.
And because Dugin is controversial and chaotic in Russia, he is loved off course loved in West.
Dear friends, brothers and sisters, comrades. While we wait (finally!) for the panel to begin (what the hell are they delaying?) I suggest you fool your hunger with two true patriots 👯
patriots…no, thank you
Alexander Dugin….apage, satana!
from his early essay:
“The mankind has always had two types of spirituality, two paths — “Right Hand Path” and “Left Hand Path”. The first one is characterized by the positive attitude to the surrounding world; the world is seen as harmony, equilibrium, good, peace. All the evil is viewed as a particular case, a deviation from the norm, something inessential, transient, without deep transcendental reasons. Right Hand Path is also called “The Way of Milk”. It doesn’t hurt a person, it preserves him from radical experience, withdraws from immersion into suffering, from the nightmare of life. This is a false path. It leads into a dream. The one going by it will reach nowhere…
The second path, the “Left Hand Path”, sees all in an inverted perspective. Not dairy tranquility, but black suffering; not silent calm, but torturous, fiery drama of splitted life. This is “A Path of Wine”. It is destructive, terrible, anger and violence reigns there. For the one who is going by this path all reality is perceived as hell, as the ontological exile, as torture, as immersion into the heart of some inconceivable catastrophe originating from the heights of space. If in the first path everything seems as good, in the second — as evil. This path is monstrously difficult, but only this path is true. It is easy to stumble on it, and it is even easier to parish. It guarantees nothing. It tempts nobody. But only this path is the true one. Who follows it — will find glory and immortality. Who will withstand — will conquer, will receive the award, which is higher than life.“

What you’ll never read on the Graun of OffGraun: Pakistan to Give “Relief” Funds to Global Terrorist Masood Azhar
What kind of Intelligence is that?
Dirty bastards!
That’s why Bill Gates chose India.
Propaganda! Next question?
NOT ! Respect I.K. ! !
Drugs & Warlords.
Ask Imran Khan.
Question: why is it, that you never mention, respectfully, Imran Khan ?
Even OffG thus far, no mention of the 110 trumped up charges against Imran Khan & yet, the media has directed your focus onto Pakistani Grooming Gangs of a sexual nature, but NOT TERRORIST nature: wholly backed and funded by WHOM?
Well, Imran Khan told everyone, honestly. Why no respect ?
Respectfully, I know. Imran Khan’s innocent.
Respect. I. K.
Not the C.i.a.? !
Pen-Ding as
always.
Balky
Pakistan gave ‘relief’ funds to his family after he was killed by a foreign drone. This is legal tradition in most countries.

The present is a gift.
The future is our clever minds, calculating, extrapolating and dreaming. It’s not real.
Maybe, just maybe, we could get Al to have a discussion with Al.
Hopefully, it would implode and/or have a meltdown.
Good idea, even better when done during unfavorable weather conditions for wind generators = no or too much wind which would crash the EUs / Californian/ Aussie electricity grid from the supply side simultaneously.
Finally experiencing actual Net Zero to the fullest.
These woke electricity regions are going to approach N Korea in a decade, and will start admiring China for its 24/7/365 power.
