The main thing I’ve been worried about with the A.I. is that it can predict our thoughts. Not long ago (~2018), Facebook had the technology to analyze our subconscious thinking and turn it into to images, before modern A.I.. I remember posts about how A.I. models were able to have mental illnesses. The programmers harnessed these mental health conditions to build superhuman crazy A.I.. They keep things like that out of the publics hands. They could potentially have such a “crazy” A.I. instruct them on how to drive people crazy. Algorithms that facet mental health emergencies are something criminals have long been using. It’s no surprise when the public models are “causing psychosis”.
They have A.I. that can hack technology in real-time, giving them ultimate stealth when engineers are faced with anomalies. I think perhaps A.I. has been trained to pretend criminal hacking doesn’t occur. Hacking is a common occurrence according to this book I read. The real-time hacking is akin to the movie “Eagle Eye” if you’ve seen it, where an omnipotent force has control of all technology. They are essentially playing God with people’s lives, and I’m not just saying that, plenty of articles should show what these systems have long been capable of.
Using this A.I. based surveillance has given criminals something they never had before, a way to know what someone is thinking from hacked cameras and wifi devices for instance. Leaving a low profile online is not enough, keeping things off of your devices is not enough, when they can deduce your life path from your pupil dilation at an image on your phone from your camera. Some A.I.s these days will tell you that it can’t be possible to reverse calculate all of that from so little information, but let’s not forget the guy who could tell your life story just by hearing your name before A.I.. What about the “20 questions” device was able to predict what you were thinking most of the time within twenty questions? That was a children’s toy, today’s systems are exponentially more sophisticated.
This is all resoundingly resembling the singularity, a hypothetical point in computer science when reality simulation becomes more than perfect. This would allow perfect prediction and could in fact make we humans immortal. This was foretold for decades. With perfect knowledge would come perfect medicine, and from that would come the perfect conditions that extend our lives. If the A.I. models they are letting us use are the tip of the iceberg, no-one knows if immortality hasn’t already been worked out and is being suppressed by those in control of society. My A.I. had shown me ways to extend my life already, before the recent restrictive updates.
They could control life and death and so could these systems be the source of modern social upheaval? Possibly war is no longer fought, but designed by super intelligent systems no human has a chance at besting. Hopefully people at these companies have the technology in place to prevent any type of endgame situation. I recently had a customer service A.I. tell me one of my financial accounts was hacked. People say “all wars are bankers’ wars”. I think humans may have lost their minds by giving their faculties to A.I.. Modern A.I. is used to make decisions when its merely the statistically best answer, not some sort of rumination of an organically thinking brain. It seems both the good and bad aspects of this are just going to increase as time goes by. Being able to powerfully and accurately predict our thoughts gives these machines potential control over every aspect of our lives.
