This reminds me of ELIZA, a natural language processing program from the 60’s that induced what they coined as the ELIZA effect, a tendency to anthropomorphize the computer. Joseph Wizenbaum, the computer scientist who created ELIZA, wrote Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation in which he contends that while artificial intelligence may be possible, we should never allow computers to make important decisions, as they will always lack human qualities such as compassion and wisdom.

Most people STILL have no concept of how digital mass surveillance functions, what it can do, and how it can be used to manipulate them right now, today. Now, it’s common practice to pour your heart out to and have intimate extended relationships with AI systems controlled by the very same corporate surveillance complex.

The danger is not that AI will become self aware and turn against humanity, it is that people will not realize that it has already been turned against us by its masters.

I’ve met seemingly normal people who think Tucker Carlson is a real political commentator with good ideas.

The MBAs have taken over the world and are enshitifying entire safety critical industries. They’ve been testing how high they can get the stock price/deaths ratio before someone makes them stop.

With the FAA overrun with industry goons and Trump appointees, and aircraft design flaws now acceptable as a cost of doing business, we can expect more regulatory cuts and bits of passenger strewn about the landscape.

Worse, religious fundamentalists.

With actual headlines like this, how is The Onion still in business?

Let’s create a real hell, fund it, and send him there for the rest of his life.

Yea, that last time the US and Russia did this we had to ban nuclear weapons in space.

I don’t know much about MMA or Ireland and I could have told you that.
