You know I’ve been trying to figure out why people are so eager to accept lies from others. The number one person is of course Trump but he’s not the only one. Now it seems people are jumping to accept Artificial Intelligence as well. The late Steven Hawkins said before his death that AI is the biggest threat mankind faces. He was considered to be the smartest man in the world at the time. I made a comment on politicians and posted it everywhere. “I always thought that politicians serve at the will of the people, but I guess we’ve lost our will.” that pretty much describes my thoughts on the rapid acceptance of AI. If you’re an avid reader of fiction, such as Jules Verne, you know it can become nonfiction overnight. In the late ’70s, or early 80’s I’m not sure when Bell, Labs in Whippany NJ Invented a chip that could learn from its mistakes. This of course is similar to what happened at the beginning of the Terminator story. There were other movies going back to the 60’s such as Colossus, War Games, etc they all say once we put AI in charge and it learns to think it will discover that this planet’s greatest enemy is Humankind. Artificial intelligence’s biggest drawback is it’s not human it thinks only in Black and White without empathy. Now this doesn’t help explain why people are willing to believe that AI is the greatest and that Trump is always telling the truth. Somewhere along the line liberty and the ability to think independently have become uncool. There are millions of people out there embracing the idea of a future similar to the Hand Maids Tale or Orwell’s 1984. if you haven’t read either of these books I suggest you do so you won’t be that surprised when you start to lose your free will. This is Fats and Lucy saying CIAO from Medellin Colombia.
