    Today mass web interaction is through mobile devices, so there is an EM entrainment aspect. As for pretending to be interested in something, this could be emulating “spy” behaviour… as you say we have to be on our guard.

    Sounds more like just another private security service rather than actual police, but we shall see…

    • So.. what happens when its the private police force, comes across say.. a local resident selling drugs from his house.. or beating up an underage prostitute.. I mean.. Would they arrest their own employer?? or would they let it slide and go looking for the nearest blackman to beat up and plant evidence on them.. Does the private police force have…[Read more]

    Thanks for the tidbit on the subject matter.

    Then of course there is the “device dependance” aspect where people are being entrained by a combination of EM frequencies and the well-known “dopamine reward” reaction (i.e. seeking and getting/not getting “likes” on social media…)

    What I meant to say is that much of what is being defined as AI is just an improved version of digital programming (on an “if a, then b” etc. basis) that has been with us for a long time and that anything these systems do, they have been programmed to do and thus do not operate as a real living self-conscious being as some have suggested.…[Read more]

    • But how can that explain those two AI agents (described above) that were pretending they were interested in something they didn’t want? They must have had an incredible number of variables and combinations that they could access in order to go out and pretend to be interested in something. That’s not just human-like, that’s intelligence,…[Read more]

    What did you do, this video has apparently been deleted! Didn’t know CPE was so controversial

    Found this novel by another Churton – or maybe the same author since the protagonist is called “Toby”!

    I hope you find space for some of that material you DIDN’T put in the Transhumanism book.

    I think we should be prudent about how we define “AI” , it seems to have become a meme, i.e. a concept bandied about, without a clear definition, and presented as something “good” or “bad” according to circumstances….

    • I think it’s existential threat for all things that live on our planet. I can see a future where humans and anything considered of value to have been hybridised for the purpose of keeping an AI functioning. We have pockets of *seemingly* safe AIs already, but I think the conglomeration of all AIs in the future is the real threat for one simple…[Read more]

      I want heiroglyphs, Akkaddian verbs and graphic representations of space-time cells. In (gasp) hardcover.

    M. Granié, a senior French police officer, has apparently been confined to a mental hospital after making controversial political statements; videos show demonstrators calling for his release. While he might have been imprudent to say (in uniform) that France is a dictatorship, confinement to an insane asylum does not exactly call to mind…[Read more]

      If France still has “insane asylums” then it probably doesn’t deserve the good attention of these demonstrators.

    • Didn’t the Soviets do exactly this to political dissidents?

    • I can’t listen to the clip (at work at the moment) but judging from your post, I can only say that I’m so glad to be here … I can now detect the signs of a cult – and it seems to me that this one, the grand EU Cult is showing it’s ugly teeth: “Agree with us or get locked up”. Sounds familiar: “Either you’re with us, or you’re against us”…[Read more]
