It's golden calves all the way down.

People are actively rejecting this garbage en masse because it's painfully obvious that it sucks.

Notice however that it's still being shoved down our throats regardless. The people (gen pop) aren't the problem with ai.

But if we wanted to stop doing business with any companies that are forcing ai on us, who would we do business with? The only way out appears to be amish.

You might want to write about the fact that autopilot does a fine job of keeping an airplane steady but is never used to land a plane. Why?

Hate to be that person but Autoland has existed for years and it works 100% reliably: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoland

But it’s very different from how LLMs operate, so the comparison might be a bit flawed. I get your point, but I’d redo that part.

I don't mind you correcting me. Autoland exists, and perhaps works reliably, but that doesn't explain why we don't use it all the time. If machines were safer than pilots, why do we still have pilots?

I wasn't trying to compare it to LLMs, but rather the general conflict of man versus machine. I'm a fan of people doing what we're good at, and machines doing what they're good at.

I don't know if you saw the recent news story; that "self-driving" cars came to a complete hault when the city experienced a blackout. That one is genuinely worth thinking and writing about, imo. Not so self driving, I suppose.

I still firmly believe the general population hates this garbage. It's our overlords that are going to drag us all down with them.

Some deep thoughts there Lily, personally, I've come to believe that best example of anti-intelligence would have to be government agents and agencies that are agenda driven regardless of the current prevailing realities. When I picture intelligence/counter-intelligence through the spy vs spy of Madd Magazine, it really would be funny if it wasn't so tragic that people are so easily mislead according to their own personal preferences.

Thank you for writing this. It needed to be said. So many are going down the path to worship AI and do not see the danger in it. Those who are pushing AI on the masses know this and that is the reason they are trying to give it an identity. Will humanity figure this out before it is too late? That is the big question.

Absolutely, "your own personal Jesus" as the song goes. A.I. LLM deployment on behalf of multinational corporations onto society - instead of replacing government and corporations with A.I. - was a catastrophic mistake. And they made it virtually impossible for the plebes to intervene - on purpose. The illusion, via the media machines of thought control, created the idea and planted that 'seed' of replacing the plebes with A.I. .

In reality - A.I. is the end of all the problems and unpredictability that those insecure, power drunk and paranoid structures have unleashed on civilization. Perpetual fear mongering - proverbial death is knocking on their doors. Decentralized Blockchains,

NFTokens, robotics and Distributed Autonomous Organizations are the keys to finally freeing humankind from the clutches of the corrupted minds of a so-called ruling class and will forever end them. Eternal slavery to the ancient power structures ceases to exist.

It's time to realize what is really going on and take this opportunity as intended. Now is not the time to be intimidated by the tyrannical illusionists any longer.

The real future of humanity is satisfaction and abundance - not - disappointment and scarcity.

Excellent post, Lily!

For me, for many years, this subject, ai, keeps triggering recollection, echoes of a particular statement that emminated from a place in the desert, called Trinity, (of all names!) - "...I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds..."

Before dismissing the analogy of Ai becoming nuclear bomb level powerful, consider that Ai directed weapons system are real, have been deployed in Gaza, and Ukraine(?). The Oppenheimer-types of the weapons companies, worldwide, are hellbent on developing all new things-that-go-boom with Ai at the trigger. What could possibly go wrong!?! God help us all.

Lily - you are an inspiration. Thank you for your incredible insights and inspiration. God Bless you, and for continuing, building upon your talent for shining a light on complex, difficult, dark subjects in the New Year.
