AI, Great Friend or Dangerous Foe?

Ok. Fine.
I vote we don’t let it.
Guess what, I was outvoted.

Maybe it’s not reasoning, thinking, yet.
But it sure seems it’s the same as.
Just the simple act of FB showing you ads of things you’ve thought about, not talked about, thought about, is close enough for me to call it all the same.

I fear Democrats more than I fear AI. But, that's not to say I don't fear what Democrats will do with AI.

I think the Marxist do-gooders will do us in long before AI does.

My point is that AI can be a very powerful tool in the hands of those Marxist do-gooders allowing them to accelerate the doing in. Look at how effectively they have leveraged big tech and social media to suppress the "wrong kind" of speech and ideas.

AI and Marxist Ideology Convergence​

The integration of AI into big tech and social media has raised concerns about its potential impact on free speech and ideological diversity. While AI can be a powerful tool for amplifying Marxist ideologies, as you’ve noted, it has also been leveraged to suppress dissenting voices and ideas.
Marxist Ideologies and AI
The search results highlight how Marxist perspectives view AI as a tool for accelerating capitalist economic development, potentially leading to labor precarity and the expansion of the capitalist model. This ideology can be amplified through AI-driven data analysis, machine learning algorithms, and automation, which may reinforce existing power structures.
Censorship and Suppression
However, AI has also been used to suppress “wrong kind” of speech and ideas, particularly on social media platforms. This has led to concerns about online censorship, where algorithms and automated moderation tools may disproportionately target certain viewpoints or individuals. The lack of transparency and accountability in AI-driven decision-making processes exacerbates these issues.
Implications and Challenges
The intersection of AI, big tech, and social media raises important questions about the balance between free speech and ideological diversity. As AI becomes increasingly pervasive, it is crucial to ensure that its development and deployment prioritize transparency, accountability, and protections for marginalized voices.
Recommendations
To address these concerns, it is essential to:

1. Promote transparency in AI decision-making processes and algorithms to prevent biases and ensure accountability.
2. Foster diversity in AI development and deployment to avoid reinforcing existing power structures.
3. Protect marginalized voices by implementing robust moderation policies and ensuring equal access to online platforms.
4. Encourage critical evaluation of AI’s impact on free speech and ideological diversity, and engage in ongoing discussions about its ethical implications.

By acknowledging the dual nature of AI and addressing these challenges, we can work towards a more inclusive and equitable online environment that respects the diversity of ideas and perspectives.

Was that from ChatGPT?

Was that from ChatGPT?

Leo. Brave Browser's AI. I don't know what it comes from.

I have Brave. I don't really like it much. I just use it on my phone. I didn't know about Leo. Obviously Leo is wrong. Just ask his wife Alexa.

See post 241.

Ah yes. Well you see, post 241 is at the top of the page for me, right after post 240, which i responded to, at the bottom of the preceding page. You could have multiquoted to keep it on the same page , but you can't get to 62k posts doing things like that.

I am racing as fast as I can to catch up to DoggyDaddy. It's a losing battle. Depressing really. WAIT! I've GOT IT! I should just have AI post for me. I think I could train it on my post history to be convincing, and then just let it do all the posting for me. I'll be the top post ho on INGO in MINUTES!

 

[oze]

I'll say friend.

 

[jamil]

I'm starting to think there should have been a 'bacon' option. The available options make up a false dichotomy. It can be the case that AI turns out to be neither friend nor foe. Kinda like the Internet. It's got its problems. It's got its benefits as well. Remains to be seen about AI.

“Listen. And understand. That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.” Not a friend. It does not forget. And one day soon will have access to everything connected. Can you imagine the terror of a terminator with access to everything that is connected to the WWW?!

 

[Leadeye]

I think AI will advance to provide suggestions, but on everything serious leadership will preserve it's ability to make decisions. Maybe if leadership delegates enough small decisions to AI it will lose control of the larger ones, but the Machiavellian nature of leadership makes me think that won't happen.

Things like independent movement robots capable of tasks requiring strength and time will await what I call the "Next Great Condensation of Power." Robots can do a lot of things when tethered to an extension cord, or fixed in one position. Independent movement for any length of time and any strength is going to require lighter, smaller, and stronger power sources than we have now.

Elon Musk says that humanoid robots will be the next greatest step in technology. He thinks that eventually they will outnumber humans 2 or 3 to one and will be used in the service industry. I used to watch shows like Flash Gordon when I was very young. As I got older, I thought that rocket ships landing back to earth vertically was a laughable, ridiculous notion. How wrong I was.

It’s going to be really difficult to get that genie back in the bottle.

That is the real threat because things almost never return to how they were, once something happens it happens and no going back, people since the dawn of time always reminisce on the past what happens when we mess up so big we can't reminisce
