Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is 100% why they are pushing massive data centers in the US. That’s the plan here as well. 100% surveillance and AI judging someone of a crime based on the chance they might do something

We really gotta stop writing dystopian sci-fi, they have 100% of the time just taken all our warnings as their own best ideas and implemented them

What the flock. It is interesting how we are doing both 1984 and fahrenheit 451 simultaneously. Honestly though AI development at any serious scale requires nation state level efforts and nearly any government would be tempted. It's unfortunate the US has had more of a shift towards palpatine and the empire as of late.

The US is finally beating China at something. The US government is already tracking "terrorists."

I have bad news for you. China has been doing it since before the great firewall. Still it's sad to see two of the biggest states do this. But this is the tendency of all states.

America's been doing this for decades. They profile people and then "gangstalk" them. You only get to live "free" if you're naive and ignorant to the honest genuine human experience. If you see beyond the narrow spectrum of American lifestyles then you are an enemy according them. If you think you're "fighting the power" and see past the bullshit and you are not tracked, it probably means you are part of a "movement" they already control, so you are not actually a threat to their culture of ownership. If that makes sense.

"...It's a vast subject, a dense subject. I can't possibly do justice to it in the time allowed. This means I'm going to have to insult your intelligence by skimming across the top of subjects that you could get a PhD dissertation written in and still not cover thoroughly. This massive documentation of course is the salvation of the intellectually attuned. I urge you to read for yourselves. Do not take anything I'm saying tonight as the gospel. I'm telling you that our leaders lie to us. They lie to us systematically. They lie to us with a purpose that may not be your purpose. Some of their lies, if you're a young man may motivate you, uh, to go off someday and die, be killed or to kill people."

Honest genuine Humanity has already been sacrificed for these monster nations to have ownership of the story of Man. It's already done. We are cattle. It's not even hidden anymore.

You can dig deeper into all this. ...the idea of controlling the human path. All the way back to death of gnosticism and industrializing the message of Jesus for control. And I know it's conspiracy, but Freemason ideologies... Understanding some of those ideologies makes you wonder if America ever was what it claimed to be, and if the American experiment is something disingenuous.

really the only actual use-case for AI

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

It's actually kind of funny that they use Minority Report as the goto scifi example when both the movie and original written story had a cop out for the precrime thing being mutant humans capable of seeing the future.

An AI actually predicting the future would be too impossible for the story lol.
