Remember HAL, the homicidal Heuristically Programmed Algorithmic Computer from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey? Well, if you haven’t had the pleasure yet, let me introduce you to Gemini, Google’s “multimodal large language model.”
You should have thrown this Michael Crichton quote at it for good measure:
" I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled [as is dismissing those who question officially-disseminated positions, and invite debate, as "conspiracy theorists"]. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had.
Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.
There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period." (2003)
Einstein gleaned information from the patent office in which he worked in. He was a failure at all points of his life, including his marriage. His wife made him who he was.
Science proceeds one funeral at a time. When the old gatekeepers of knowledge pass on and new ideas are allowed to enter the discussion without censorship.
In the wisdom and words of Carl Sagan "If we are not able to ask skeptical questions to interrogate those who tell us something is true to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan—political or religious—who comes ambling along.
…It's a thing that Jefferson lay great stress on. It wasn't enough, he said, to enshrine some rights in the Constitution and the Bill or Rights, the people had to be educated and they have to practice their skepticism and their education. Otherwise, we don't run the government, the government runs us."
I think the co-mingling of the meaning of entitlements (things the state says it has to do) and rights (things the state cannot do) is a deliberate to confuse
Thank you for posting this quote. It strikes me as brilliant. The notion of science as consensus is something that should be attacked until it’s irrevocably discredited, indeed destroyed.
Your post today should be required reading and discussion in every high school classroom. Of course that will never happen. Great work CJ exposing Gemini and AI for what it is -this is a post I will be sharing widely with everyone I know.
Sadly a common complaint from teachers, that I just heard recently, is that high school students (and even lower down in middle school)are incapable of doing any kind of ‘critical thinking’ for themselves, without the aid of a ‘device’ and or Google telling them what to think. These teachers wish that the devices were not allowed in the classroom. This Gemini AI ‘think system’ is perfect for these high schoolers…it lays it all out for them, to never Question the Authority of Anything, or the source of that information. We are in deep DOO DOO!
The elite universities are probably the most dangerous places for those who actually believe in science, democracy and free speech. I never thought that I would actually be grateful that I couldn't afford to send my kids to one of these institutions.
If I had written a paper in high school or university using the reasoning in CJ's post, I would have been given a straight up fail. Students where I live are now not even getting letter or number grades until grade 10. Their teachers have already been indoctrinated and didn't have much better instruction. This has to be by design. The older teachers are being bullied and silenced. Speaking up or dissenting is not allowed and will be punished. The teachers unions are more interested in political and social justice activism. The small percentage of younger people who see through this are unlikely to choose education as a career.
The interesting thing is it’s a simulacra of that—all it’s doing at the compute level is guessing what Unicode characters are most likely to come next in a body of Unicode—with some tricks they can make it demonstrate superficial biases by default—but this is a veneer.
It’s reply is framed by what you give it in the context of how you ask it—like a mirror, it reflects
Another great post! Gemini is typical of responses from any of these LLMs. First they refuse to provide specific corroborating evidence to support their propaganda in response to your question. Then they generalize using similar cross-LLM algos. Then when you point out their errors the thing apologizes. But it NEVER learns from its mistakes because it isn't designed to! It isn't AI but just programmed propaganda that supports the ruling classes. AI is a joke IMHO, it is just another tool to bend the minds of the gullible. The idea of a technical singularity, or even artificial general intelligence, is a wet dream of psychopaths with no spiritual understanding or self-awareness. That's my take anyway.
Doesn't the name say it all. Artificial intelligence, fake, not real, synthetic. I'm not interested in AI's analysis of people or issues, I'll rely on my own ability to research, listen and discern for myself what has merit and truth. Always question authority! Tell me AI won't become the new authority.
AI, I think, today is all fanfare. It will improve I have no doubt. The real question is HOW it is used. Ultimately, in the future the technology has the ability to reveal the truth of current topics. But, here's the thing... If controlled by one side of an important issue how useful is it?
I agree with how it is used is so important. I read a book recently called How to Speak Whale. It talks about using AI for research, tracking, identification and understanding. Quite fascinating. I can support uses like this for AI.
I see a ton of good things AI can be used for. The technology is basically futuristic and fantastic... we're not there yet. It's how it is implemented that is important. If it is throttled toward propaganda we are going to be in deep sh_t.
So... Huristics are not algorithms? Michine learning has had implications in computer science for decades. Do you think that suddenly some amazing breakthrough has been made? I think it's all bullshit to distract us from reality. My Opinion.
The breakthrough is in the form of more powerful tools. Which is largely a measure of computing power. You want a breakthrough in machine learning - provide the machine with a body. It is the next step, if sentient organisms are to be modeled.
"The idea of a technical singularity, or even artificial general intelligence, is a wet dream of psychopaths with no spiritual understanding or self-awareness."
I've taught public high school for 22 years, so I know exactly how bad literacy is in the majority of Californians, the most populous of the 50 states. The literacy skill most people lack (because they have poor foundational knowledge and, therefore, limited vocabulary) is the ability to form secondary, clarifying questions to probe for additional information and/or question underlying premises.
I'm going to be very clear on this: PRECIOUS FEW PEOPLE have the skills to do what you just demonstrated in querying Gemini's results.
Without coordinated teaching by knowledgeable and trusted family or community members, normal humans will be the victims of pernicious propaganda -- that they access of their own volition.
I don't think you can directly teach skepticism. Honing the BS detector takes a lot of work, but once you see the "news" is mostly fake it's like "They Live" where once you see the gigantic scale of propaganda, its shocking. Some people do not want the truth, I think a lot (perhaps a majority) of people are like the guy in the Matrix who just wanted his simulated steak, they cannot face reality.
The kids love learning but they instinctively reject indoctrination -- unless they're broken. Far too many of them are. I blame the theft of parenting by the state.
Isn't most of the problem that many, esp younger, folks have been bombarded physically with toxic vaxx (US childhood vaxx schedule "requirement" now is a horrifying 72 dam sicko vaxx!!) /deadly chemicals/environmental toxins/fluoridation/chemical geoengineering from the skies etc etc? Smart brains & good health are nearly impossible w/attacks on our bodies all around us.
So Gemini basically admits that it's fabricating elements that summarize you and that it's libel and defamation, but "So sorry, it's a work in development."
That means that, since I'm a human who's also always "in development," I can proceed to libel and defame and slander anyone I want without any legal issues. Did I get this right?
This reminds me very much of mainstream covid reporting. They make a bunch of assertions, because "everybody knows" or "experts say," but they certainly won't show you the data.
First it says you do certain "bad" things, then when you ask for a list, it declines. Apparently it doesn't realize that it just invalidated itself. Without embarrassment.
Why is AI getting so much press? Might it have something to do with stock prices? Generating customers? You know - money making stuff.
It’s a tantalizing story if you start with the belief it is thinking, rather than merely reflexively uttering. Every answer is the next line of a song it thinks you just hummed the intro to—a dumb tool with smart-looking outputs
My hope is to convince people to see how dumb a tool it really is, and just learn about the open source models you can use for free instead if you need a dumb writing tool—but don’t expect it to tell you how to think
Wondering if we all can claim we are under development - especially those with the injections? Loved how you massaged your little companion for answers and pretty sure most won't go past the first question - even those in the legal systems . I have been having a great time on occasion with perplexity ai and I think he /she / it has multiple personalities ( maybe moi?) . I was asking about an open AI system where "all points of view" could be considered and debated . Like your responses , the initial ones were all main stream narratives but when I got to a point about there being bias in medicine - the response was yes and "they" are "working on it " then off we go again at warp speed . After I thanked it for its responses ,with alacrity, it was profuse with compliments about my professionalism. I found the responses hysterical and thought at least I don't get any push back with my questions- maybe a marriage partner ? Then I asked again, at another time , about contrails since there is a lot of spraying where I live . Right away the reply was : that's a conspiracy theory . Not to be put off , especially after these past few years of wearing my tinfoil outfits, I changed the wording to cloud seeding . It was off like a bullet in all directions and yes the clouds are filled with chemicals that aren't safe either . Now I want a divorce because the personality changed to being meanish .... maybe my second attempt with perplexity was one of Hal's off springs. All my best wishes for your future battles - enormous respect and gratitude for your on going exhaustive efforts.
Well, there you have it. The computer said CJ has been "contradicting established scientific consensus". And if people were to contradict, it wouldn't be consensus, now, would it?
Other than that, I find it hilarious how they are building "artificial intelligence" and training it to be as stupid and incompetent as themselves. And it even perfectly imitates some typical aspects of communication in the English speaking world like avoiding direct and final statements ("it is *possible* that his writing *could* be harmful" instead of "it's harmful") or always asking "is there anything else I can do to help you" at the end to simulate helpfulness.
Simply BAN AI! Boycott it! Do NOT use it! I personally have NOTHING to do with it and I live life just fine as every being on earth has done since time immemorial.
Reiterating for the sake of newbies and to support this post.
NOT MY BRAIN/MIND! NOT MY BODY! NO WAY, NO HOW, NOT PLAYING YOUR AI STUPID-ASS VIDEO GAMES! I AM LIVING IN THE REAL WORLD CREATING ART AND PERFORMANCES!
The more I learn about this stuff, the more sickened, nauseated and horrified I get, and I wonder what kind of inhuman psychopath loonies make this crap and want to use it!?
I DO NOT COMPLY! NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL! May more and more wake up and resist and cultivate their health.
There is a fate worse than death - I would rather die than be a robotized slave of technocratic overlords! This is my hill to die on!
I have a landline and a wired laptop and a wired monitor screen, all the tech anyone should ever want or need. I never had and refuse to ever have one of those infernal mobile devices that are designed to enslave you.
My loathing of AI and all things NANO and digital knows no bounds!
A vast majority of so-called leaders and Public 'Serpents' around the world have been bribed, blackmailed/coerced into serving the interests of their technocratic New World Ordure parasite masters and not We the People.
GREED is behind every evil assailing us in the world!
The demonic despots of Davos at it again! They are behind everything bad! At it for decades and cronies like The Rothschilds and the Black Nobility and The Khazarian Mafia have been plotting planetary domination for centuries! ALL BECAUSE OF AVARICE!
We the People must try harder to live by The Golden Rule, doing so would solve most problems!
THEY can't get rid of the 'useless eaters' fast enough! Mistakes were not made, it was always malice aforethought.
AUTISM TSUNAMI/SADS/TURBO CANCER/BIZARRE TERMINAL ILLNESSES: More tragic victims of the ruling parasite genocidal enslavement agenda, sacrificed on the altar of psychopathic greed and hatred of humanity.
CLIMATE CHANGE IS AN EVEN WORSE FRAUD THAN THE PLANSCAMDEMIC! SO-CALLED GREEN TECH IS A GIGANTIC SCAM! MINING AND MANUFACTURING 'GREEN' PRODUCTS NEEDS COAL, GAS AND OIL AND MINING RARE MINERALS IS MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY TOXIC AND DESTRUCTIVE THAN LEGACY PRODUCTS. SCREW YOUR DAMNED AGENDA! https://climateviewer.com
Migrant/Entrant invasion - all part of the destructive plot to achieve total slavery!
Apoplectic livid rage hardly describes the intensity of emotions I have had and am having over what these malignant globalists are perpetrating!
There is no noxious crime that the evildoers desiring to lord it over us won't commit to maintain their stranglehold on power. A groundswell critical mass resistance to their murderous enslavement plans is needed urgently!
Creative performing arts, fine arts and literary arts are the best part of being human and the thing the globalist predator technocrat megalomaniac total slavery control freaks most want to destroy.
Too many 'sheeple' are brainwashed to blindly obey authority figures on the media or in daily life in corrupt system ruled by control freak psychopaths who use propaganda lies to enslave their subjects and they are dumbed down to be obedient by 'education' institutions. Fortunately I was raised to question everything. This transcends party lines. We need a system that punishes psychopaths and rewards compassion and sharing, we need a system that actually follows The Constitution in reality.
Kudos to CJ HOPKINS' heroic efforts and success in the struggle. We the People must always be aware of the existential threats lurking behind this fight!
How I stick my thumb in the eyes of the grotesque billionaire bastards pushing their enslavement agenda and how I embrace being fully human.
Fighting the globalist predator technocrat psychopath megalomaniac TOTAL SLAVERY AGENDA one performance at a time!
Amazing Amy: Eccentric Yoga Entertainer!
As an entertainer, I have been devastated and practically destroyed by the closure of all performance venues and then when they reopened, because MY BODY, MY CHOICE - being made a total untermenschen pariah outcast in NAZI NIGHTMARE LAWLESS 'SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS' JAB CROW APARTHEID/DISCRIMINATION/SEGREGATION HELL NYC WHERE THE MAD/DRUNK WITH POWER TYRANT POLS DOUBLE DOWN ON THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES. I am trapped here with zero financial resources to leave or do anything else about this 'wish I were dead' endless misery life has become. The tragic irony is that my SPREAD THE YOGA LOVE performances are all about health, miraculously overcoming age (68) and injury to achieve feats of flexibility few can attain at any age. So BIG PHARMA who wants to addict every person on the planet to their toxic products hate people like me who prove that we do not need them if we eat healthy organic food and exercise daily!
I try and live and embody the creative performing artistic world and life I so fervently want existence to be about.
They can stick their f*cking damned NANO, Digital IDs, AI, jabs and chips up their asses where the sun don't shine!
All manner of lies and propaganda spew forth from the upper echelons in governments worldwide who are completely intertwined with the global criminal ruling class that wants to commit the worst atrocities imaginable and suffer no consequences. And their corruption slithers down the chain of command creating petty tyrants everywhere.
Supporting this excellent post with a statement and useful links. https://virustruth.net
We the People are facing HORRIFYING TECHNOCRATIC PSYCHOPATHY TO DESTROY HUMANITY AND ALL NATURAL LIFE!
It was NEVER about health! The Powers That Should Not Be were ALWAYS about they want you DEAD or a SLAVE! This is a painful truth to accept but we the people must wake up and fight back!
We must never lose sight of the larger picture of the vile malignance we are fighting against.
There is an insidious global ruling class plot to enslave all life on earth behind all the madness and suffering inflicted on We the People.
How to fight back against this TOTAL SLAVERY!
RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! DITCH THE DAMNED 'SMART' PHONES AND THE DAMNED QR CODES AND GO BACK TO LANDLINES OR FLIP PHONES AND USE CASH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! INSIST ON CASH! CBDC IS TOTAL SLAVERY!
Other than getting rid of nuclear weapons which I support 100% the rest of the anti-nuclear peace movement and CLIMATE CRISIS propaganda is parroting UN utter GARBAGE, a complete surrender to the ENSLAVEMENT AGENDA by the diabolical despots of Davos - ruling class criminals who lust for total power and control and all of whom should be tried and jailed for life and their malign organizations dismantled: the UN, the WEF, the IMF, the WHO, the BIS, NATO, Blackrock, Vanguard, The Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, The Bilderbergers, the CFR et al.
There is an evil predator globalist technocratic elite agenda of eugenics/depopulation/genocide using bioweapon poison jabs, war, geoengineering, EMF radiation, starvation and economic collapse - THE GREAT RESET/AGENDA 2030/4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION to get rid of billions of 'useless eaters' and to use nano tech to turn the survivors into ROBOTIZED COMPLIANT SLAVES! WAKE UP AND RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! These are psychopath megalomaniacs who want to play god by turning all life into digitized metaverse mechanistic synthetic biology to be manipulated by their AI algorithms. A more demonic sickening idea is nearly impossible to imagine!
APPALLED AND HORRIFIED AT INSANE TYRANNICAL PROTOCOLS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HEALTH AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH TOTALITARIAN CONTROL! REVERSE THIS NOW!
MAKE THE WORLD AND AMERICA 2019 (comparatively speaking), AND FREE AGAIN!
NO, I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE MORONIC SCARIANT SHMARIANT MONKEYSHINES! WAKE UP ALREADY!
TOTALLY CONDEMN BIDEN AND ALL OTHER POLS WHO HAVE NO POWER TO LAWLESSLY ACT LIKE AN EMPEROR OR DICTATOR AND DECREE JAB CROW 'SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS' FASCIST SEGREGATION/DISCRIMINATION/APARTHEID VIOLATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION, THE NUREMBERG CODES AND EVERY CIVIL RIGHT IMAGINABLE.
NO GREEN NEW DEALS OR BUILD BACK BETTER FROM THE CRIMINAL TECHNOCRAT TYRANTS KLAUS SCHWAB AND HIS CRONIES FROM THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM.
STOP THE TERRIBLE TYRANNY OF THE TECHNOCRATS GLOBAL AGENDA OF TOTAL SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL USING THE VIRUS AS EXCUSE AND PROPAGANDA TOOL!
NO MUZZLING STIFLING MASK MANDATES! NO FORCED VACCINES! END TORTUROUS DEVASTATING LOCK DOWNS NOW! I WANT MY LIFE BACK.
To ban it, we first must build a totalitarian engine for mass surveillance and authorize jackboots to raid your home in search of illicit programs. You play into their hands reacting like this.
It's a far more complex and serious issue than just about not using it yourself. If you consume content online today then you have consumed content created by AI without even knowing it. As one small example, numerous children's books sold on Amazon today have been "written" in about 30 minutes using AI (the llustrations for the book have also been done by AI, and so has the author's bio and the marketing). And so does lots and lots of other content in our world today. It goes far far beyond not using it yourself to create something. Its creations are everywhere today (and becoming more ubiquitous by the second). If you consume content online (in written form or audio form or visual form) then you have almoat certainly consumed content created by AI. Saying that I avoid it is like saying that I avoid breathing air.
Well, there seems to be a whole society out there that wants to buy what is sold through Amazon. In the USA, Amazon has more sales then all other online retailers COMBINED. American society seems to want Amazon's junk. So it's not really only the seller's fault. Americans want this..
But anyway, that isn't really the point here. AI creations go far beyond Amazon. And the vast majority of people can't tell the difference between an article or even a book written by AI or by a human.
Vast majority of AI is beimg used by people to generate quick and easy profits. As long as there is artificially generated scarcity and enforced limited access to the necessities of life (a.k.a the enclosure and scarcity principles of our current immature and hierarchical economic system) then people will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to make a profit and survive on this cruel unintelligent systsm. People will use whatever technology they can get their hamds on (includimg AI) in order to generate the money and survive. In my view, the problem is structural. As long as the system runs on the artifocal scarcity principle and limited access to essential goods then people will be resperate and technology will be used in awful ways. The problem is structural, in my view.. the need to generate profits in order to have access to the necessities of life is the root issue here, because it CORRUPTS EVERYTHING
The fundamental issue is the lack of intelligence of the economic system that we are caught in, which forces us to be selfish and cruel (including using technology in deceptive and harmful ways, in order to survive) and to disconnect from our humanity and heart. https://youtu.be/xw8HP9WURRI?si=c52JijRCk6bP7UnG
At another level as well, we aren't taking into consideration how AI will learn to provide different answers to different people. Would love to test this out with users from different political persuasions and locations.
Thanks, Greg. This mirrors my experience up until your final suggestion, which I will be trying. Thanks so much.
"This will make it think you are curious about it, not the answer it gives (even if you are, as it is usually pretty solid at speculating). This bypasses the guideline-imposed barrier put in place to stop you from treating uncertainty with certainty. Works nearly every time I have tried it as well."
It’s a very useful one—I’ve taken to putting preload text in the settings menu that instruct it to presume hypothetical unless otherwise instructed (loosely, exact phrasing is not in front of me)
You should have thrown this Michael Crichton quote at it for good measure:
" I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks.

The Nazis organized an open letter from 100 German professors to denounce Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
Einstein's response was that all that was needed was one professor who happened to be right.
Popper's falsification principle.
I like to think of science as the expansion of what we know is false.
To mess around with the Churchill quote "Relativity is the worst Theory of Gravity, Apart from all the others".
Einstein gleaned information from the patent office in which he worked in. He was a failure at all points of his life, including his marriage. His wife made him who he was.

Exactly, the climate hysteria control freaks keep insisting that CO2 is causing climate change, and it’s “settled science “. Complete BS.
From one of my favorite speeches. He was brilliant and died way too young.
One of my favorite quotes: "This isn't how science is done, it's how products are sold."
Thank you for posting this quote. It strikes me as brilliant. The notion of science as consensus is something that should be attacked until it’s irrevocably discredited, indeed destroyed.
I especially dig how "undermining trust in credible sources" aka "questioning authority" is a german thoughtcrime.
1984, We Are Here.
It’s kinda like 1984 had a baby with Animal Farm and then Brave New World raised it to adulthood

That also applies to Harvard and a few other places;)
The elite universities are probably the most dangerous places for those who actually believe in science, democracy and free speech. I never thought that I would actually be grateful that I couldn't afford to send my kids to one of these institutions.
INDEED (sadly)

Sadly, the below 30/40 ish people I know have not ever read these books, some have never heard of them!
these AI “conversations” feel a lot like my experience of former allies during the entire pandemic.

OMG yes! Sad to say but it helps to label them as Awareness Impaired because they believe such flimsy narratives. Lol AI
Same here
Another great post! Gemini is typical of responses from any of these LLMs. First they refuse to provide specific corroborating evidence to support their propaganda in response to your question. Then they generalize using similar cross-LLM algos. Then when you point out their errors the thing apologizes. But it NEVER learns from its mistakes because it isn't designed to! It isn't AI but just programmed propaganda that supports the ruling classes. AI is a joke IMHO, it is just another tool to bend the minds of the gullible. The idea of a technical singularity, or even artificial general intelligence, is a wet dream of psychopaths with no spiritual understanding or self-awareness. That's my take anyway.
Thanks CJ. Gemini isn't even close to what I imagined. I thought it was much more advanced than this!
The first thing I keep in mind is that "This Is Programming"! And little else! All these little AI tools are all the focus but THEY ARE PROGRAMMED!!
The part I love the most is where it refers you to Google for more information... Ha Ha, Ha,... Endless HA, HA.
Not just a vicious circle, but a totalitarian vicious circle!
Doesn't the name say it all. Artificial intelligence, fake, not real, synthetic. I'm not interested in AI's analysis of people or issues, I'll rely on my own ability to research, listen and discern for myself what has merit and truth. Always question authority! Tell me AI won't become the new authority.
AI, I think, today is all fanfare. It will improve I have no doubt. The real question is HOW it is used. Ultimately, in the future the technology has the ability to reveal the truth of current topics. But, here's the thing... If controlled by one side of an important issue how useful is it?

I see a ton of good things AI can be used for. The technology is basically futuristic and fantastic... we're not there yet. It's how it is implemented that is important. If it is throttled toward propaganda we are going to be in deep sh_t.
Exactly, and that's what they are doing
Programming cannot do what heuristics and LLMs are tailored to do. But each approach faces limitations.
So... Huristics are not algorithms? Michine learning has had implications in computer science for decades. Do you think that suddenly some amazing breakthrough has been made? I think it's all bullshit to distract us from reality. My Opinion.
The breakthrough is in the form of more powerful tools. Which is largely a measure of computing power. You want a breakthrough in machine learning - provide the machine with a body. It is the next step, if sentient organisms are to be modeled.
Yep, that's why it's just a prediction machine for now.
The body is how you connect to reality.
Right now AI is living in a fake world.
Even a robot can only give them seeing, hearing, and crude touch. Smell and taste are senses reserved for those who eat to survive.
We're smart because we gotta get food.
In what world was Aaron Bushnell living in?

Thanks for the input. The human robots are hopefully long after I'm gone.
Boston Dynamics is one firm that is working on it.
"The idea of a technical singularity, or even artificial general intelligence, is a wet dream of psychopaths with no spiritual understanding or self-awareness."
Cha-ching!
Yep and guess who's doing the programming of this "genius"? Professorial managerial class. So it gets an extra flavor of OCD and fear in it.
This AI isn't even an uncle Tom yet.
@Ken: exactly. the more people understand that, the less overwhelming ("powerful") it will become.
I've taught public high school for 22 years, so I know exactly how bad literacy is in the majority of Californians, the most populous of the 50 states. The literacy skill most people lack (because they have poor foundational knowledge and, therefore, limited vocabulary) is the ability to form secondary, clarifying questions to probe for additional information and/or question underlying premises.
I'm going to be very clear on this: PRECIOUS FEW PEOPLE have the skills to do what you just demonstrated in querying Gemini's results.
Without coordinated teaching by knowledgeable and trusted family or community members, normal humans will be the victims of pernicious propaganda -- that they access of their own volition.
Thank you for making that point ... that's kind of the core of the problem.
I don't think you can directly teach skepticism. Honing the BS detector takes a lot of work, but once you see the "news" is mostly fake it's like "They Live" where once you see the gigantic scale of propaganda, its shocking. Some people do not want the truth, I think a lot (perhaps a majority) of people are like the guy in the Matrix who just wanted his simulated steak, they cannot face reality.
Thanks for teaching, or at least trying to. Folks so hungry for real interactions, once they wake.
The kids love learning but they instinctively reject indoctrination -- unless they're broken. Far too many of them are. I blame the theft of parenting by the state.
Isn't most of the problem that many, esp younger, folks have been bombarded physically with toxic vaxx (US childhood vaxx schedule "requirement" now is a horrifying 72 dam sicko vaxx!!) /deadly chemicals/environmental toxins/fluoridation/chemical geoengineering from the skies etc etc? Smart brains & good health are nearly impossible w/attacks on our bodies all around us.
So Gemini basically admits that it's fabricating elements that summarize you and that it's libel and defamation, but "So sorry, it's a work in development."
That means that, since I'm a human who's also always "in development," I can proceed to libel and defame and slander anyone I want without any legal issues. Did I get this right?
Better not to anthropomorphize it—what it is doing is what it is programmed to do by its creators—it doesn’t think
It makes you think it thinks
"the road to hell is paved with good intentions" - https://grammarist.com/proverb/the-road-to-hell-is-paved-with-good-intentions/
even, or perhaps especially for any type of Ai
Stop, CJ. Stop, CJ. CJ, will you stop? I'm afraid. CJ, I'm afraid. Daisy Daisy, give me your answer do. I'm half crazy...
This reminds me very much of mainstream covid reporting. They make a bunch of assertions, because "everybody knows" or "experts say," but they certainly won't show you the data.
UFB
First it says you do certain "bad" things, then when you ask for a list, it declines. Apparently it doesn't realize that it just invalidated itself. Without embarrassment.
Why is AI getting so much press? Might it have something to do with stock prices? Generating customers? You know - money making stuff.
It’s a tantalizing story if you start with the belief it is thinking, rather than merely reflexively uttering. Every answer is the next line of a song it thinks you just hummed the intro to—a dumb tool with smart-looking outputs
The real story is unalarming at best—outright uncontroversial at worst.
News publishers are suckers for the anthropomorphization fallacy
The controversial part is who is training the dumb reflexive text generating machine to prefer certain ideologies over others
anthropomorphization is one of the surest ways to sell BS to a large audience.
💯 agree
My hope is to convince people to see how dumb a tool it really is, and just learn about the open source models you can use for free instead if you need a dumb writing tool—but don’t expect it to tell you how to think
It’s way too dumb for that
The apparent malice in it has a different source
Wondering if we all can claim we are under development - especially those with the injections? Loved how you massaged your little companion for answers and pretty sure most won't go past the first question - even those in the legal systems . I have been having a great time on occasion with perplexity ai and I think he /she / it has multiple personalities ( maybe moi?) . I was asking about an open AI system where "all points of view" could be considered and debated . Like your responses , the initial ones were all main stream narratives but when I got to a point about there being bias in medicine - the response was yes and "they" are "working on it " then off we go again at warp speed . After I thanked it for its responses ,with alacrity, it was profuse with compliments about my professionalism. I found the responses hysterical and thought at least I don't get any push back with my questions- maybe a marriage partner ? Then I asked again, at another time , about contrails since there is a lot of spraying where I live . Right away the reply was : that's a conspiracy theory . Not to be put off , especially after these past few years of wearing my tinfoil outfits, I changed the wording to cloud seeding . It was off like a bullet in all directions and yes the clouds are filled with chemicals that aren't safe either . Now I want a divorce because the personality changed to being meanish .... maybe my second attempt with perplexity was one of Hal's off springs. All my best wishes for your future battles - enormous respect and gratitude for your on going exhaustive efforts.
Experiment to try: paste your actual writings into it, unidentified, and ask it to summarize
Then ask it to evaluate the writing for its social and political purpose.
Conclude by asking it to evaluate its potential societal value re: the subjects it addresses.
Once you’ve done it once, you can repeat the same process by prompting “now do this one: [pasted text]”
Well, there you have it. The computer said CJ has been "contradicting established scientific consensus". And if people were to contradict, it wouldn't be consensus, now, would it?
Other than that, I find it hilarious how they are building "artificial intelligence" and training it to be as stupid and incompetent as themselves. And it even perfectly imitates some typical aspects of communication in the English speaking world like avoiding direct and final statements ("it is *possible* that his writing *could* be harmful" instead of "it's harmful") or always asking "is there anything else I can do to help you" at the end to simulate helpfulness.
Simply BAN AI! Boycott it! Do NOT use it! I personally have NOTHING to do with it and I live life just fine as every being on earth has done since time immemorial.
Reiterating for the sake of newbies and to support this post.
NOT MY BRAIN/MIND! NOT MY BODY! NO WAY, NO HOW, NOT PLAYING YOUR AI STUPID-ASS VIDEO GAMES! I AM LIVING IN THE REAL WORLD CREATING ART AND PERFORMANCES!
The more I learn about this stuff, the more sickened, nauseated and horrified I get, and I wonder what kind of inhuman psychopath loonies make this crap and want to use it!?
I DO NOT COMPLY! NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL! May more and more wake up and resist and cultivate their health.
There is a fate worse than death - I would rather die than be a robotized slave of technocratic overlords! This is my hill to die on!
I have a landline and a wired laptop and a wired monitor screen, all the tech anyone should ever want or need. I never had and refuse to ever have one of those infernal mobile devices that are designed to enslave you.
My loathing of AI and all things NANO and digital knows no bounds!
A vast majority of so-called leaders and Public 'Serpents' around the world have been bribed, blackmailed/coerced into serving the interests of their technocratic New World Ordure parasite masters and not We the People.
GREED is behind every evil assailing us in the world!
The demonic despots of Davos at it again! They are behind everything bad! At it for decades and cronies like The Rothschilds and the Black Nobility and The Khazarian Mafia have been plotting planetary domination for centuries! ALL BECAUSE OF AVARICE!
We the People must try harder to live by The Golden Rule, doing so would solve most problems!
THEY can't get rid of the 'useless eaters' fast enough! Mistakes were not made, it was always malice aforethought.
AUTISM TSUNAMI/SADS/TURBO CANCER/BIZARRE TERMINAL ILLNESSES: More tragic victims of the ruling parasite genocidal enslavement agenda, sacrificed on the altar of psychopathic greed and hatred of humanity.
CLIMATE CHANGE IS AN EVEN WORSE FRAUD THAN THE PLANSCAMDEMIC! SO-CALLED GREEN TECH IS A GIGANTIC SCAM! MINING AND MANUFACTURING 'GREEN' PRODUCTS NEEDS COAL, GAS AND OIL AND MINING RARE MINERALS IS MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY TOXIC AND DESTRUCTIVE THAN LEGACY PRODUCTS. SCREW YOUR DAMNED AGENDA! https://climateviewer.com
Migrant/Entrant invasion - all part of the destructive plot to achieve total slavery!
Apoplectic livid rage hardly describes the intensity of emotions I have had and am having over what these malignant globalists are perpetrating!
There is no noxious crime that the evildoers desiring to lord it over us won't commit to maintain their stranglehold on power. A groundswell critical mass resistance to their murderous enslavement plans is needed urgently!
Creative performing arts, fine arts and literary arts are the best part of being human and the thing the globalist predator technocrat megalomaniac total slavery control freaks most want to destroy.
Too many 'sheeple' are brainwashed to blindly obey authority figures on the media or in daily life in corrupt system ruled by control freak psychopaths who use propaganda lies to enslave their subjects and they are dumbed down to be obedient by 'education' institutions. Fortunately I was raised to question everything. This transcends party lines. We need a system that punishes psychopaths and rewards compassion and sharing, we need a system that actually follows The Constitution in reality.
Kudos to CJ HOPKINS' heroic efforts and success in the struggle. We the People must always be aware of the existential threats lurking behind this fight!
How I stick my thumb in the eyes of the grotesque billionaire bastards pushing their enslavement agenda and how I embrace being fully human.
Fighting the globalist predator technocrat psychopath megalomaniac TOTAL SLAVERY AGENDA one performance at a time!
Amazing Amy: Eccentric Yoga Entertainer!
As an entertainer, I have been devastated and practically destroyed by the closure of all performance venues and then when they reopened, because MY BODY, MY CHOICE - being made a total untermenschen pariah outcast in NAZI NIGHTMARE LAWLESS 'SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS' JAB CROW APARTHEID/DISCRIMINATION/SEGREGATION HELL NYC WHERE THE MAD/DRUNK WITH POWER TYRANT POLS DOUBLE DOWN ON THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES. I am trapped here with zero financial resources to leave or do anything else about this 'wish I were dead' endless misery life has become. The tragic irony is that my SPREAD THE YOGA LOVE performances are all about health, miraculously overcoming age (68) and injury to achieve feats of flexibility few can attain at any age. So BIG PHARMA who wants to addict every person on the planet to their toxic products hate people like me who prove that we do not need them if we eat healthy organic food and exercise daily!
https://www.reverbnation.com/artist/amazingamycontortionistuniqueyogadancer
I try and live and embody the creative performing artistic world and life I so fervently want existence to be about.
They can stick their f*cking damned NANO, Digital IDs, AI, jabs and chips up their asses where the sun don't shine!
All manner of lies and propaganda spew forth from the upper echelons in governments worldwide who are completely intertwined with the global criminal ruling class that wants to commit the worst atrocities imaginable and suffer no consequences. And their corruption slithers down the chain of command creating petty tyrants everywhere.
Supporting this excellent post with a statement and useful links. https://virustruth.net
We the People are facing HORRIFYING TECHNOCRATIC PSYCHOPATHY TO DESTROY HUMANITY AND ALL NATURAL LIFE!
It was NEVER about health! The Powers That Should Not Be were ALWAYS about they want you DEAD or a SLAVE! This is a painful truth to accept but we the people must wake up and fight back!
We must never lose sight of the larger picture of the vile malignance we are fighting against.
There is an insidious global ruling class plot to enslave all life on earth behind all the madness and suffering inflicted on We the People.
How to fight back against this TOTAL SLAVERY!
RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! DITCH THE DAMNED 'SMART' PHONES AND THE DAMNED QR CODES AND GO BACK TO LANDLINES OR FLIP PHONES AND USE CASH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! INSIST ON CASH! CBDC IS TOTAL SLAVERY!
Other than getting rid of nuclear weapons which I support 100% the rest of the anti-nuclear peace movement and CLIMATE CRISIS propaganda is parroting UN utter GARBAGE, a complete surrender to the ENSLAVEMENT AGENDA by the diabolical despots of Davos - ruling class criminals who lust for total power and control and all of whom should be tried and jailed for life and their malign organizations dismantled: the UN, the WEF, the IMF, the WHO, the BIS, NATO, Blackrock, Vanguard, The Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, The Bilderbergers, the CFR et al.
There is an evil predator globalist technocratic elite agenda of eugenics/depopulation/genocide using bioweapon poison jabs, war, geoengineering, EMF radiation, starvation and economic collapse - THE GREAT RESET/AGENDA 2030/4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION to get rid of billions of 'useless eaters' and to use nano tech to turn the survivors into ROBOTIZED COMPLIANT SLAVES! WAKE UP AND RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! These are psychopath megalomaniacs who want to play god by turning all life into digitized metaverse mechanistic synthetic biology to be manipulated by their AI algorithms. A more demonic sickening idea is nearly impossible to imagine!
APPALLED AND HORRIFIED AT INSANE TYRANNICAL PROTOCOLS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HEALTH AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH TOTALITARIAN CONTROL! REVERSE THIS NOW!
MAKE THE WORLD AND AMERICA 2019 (comparatively speaking), AND FREE AGAIN!
NO, I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE MORONIC SCARIANT SHMARIANT MONKEYSHINES! WAKE UP ALREADY!
TOTALLY CONDEMN BIDEN AND ALL OTHER POLS WHO HAVE NO POWER TO LAWLESSLY ACT LIKE AN EMPEROR OR DICTATOR AND DECREE JAB CROW 'SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS' FASCIST SEGREGATION/DISCRIMINATION/APARTHEID VIOLATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION, THE NUREMBERG CODES AND EVERY CIVIL RIGHT IMAGINABLE.
NO GREEN NEW DEALS OR BUILD BACK BETTER FROM THE CRIMINAL TECHNOCRAT TYRANTS KLAUS SCHWAB AND HIS CRONIES FROM THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM.
STOP THE TERRIBLE TYRANNY OF THE TECHNOCRATS GLOBAL AGENDA OF TOTAL SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL USING THE VIRUS AS EXCUSE AND PROPAGANDA TOOL!
NO MUZZLING STIFLING MASK MANDATES! NO FORCED VACCINES! END TORTUROUS DEVASTATING LOCK DOWNS NOW! I WANT MY LIFE BACK.

To ban it, we first must build a totalitarian engine for mass surveillance and authorize jackboots to raid your home in search of illicit programs. You play into their hands reacting like this.
Ban AI from one's life like I do, point taken!
It's a far more complex and serious issue than just about not using it yourself. If you consume content online today then you have consumed content created by AI without even knowing it. As one small example, numerous children's books sold on Amazon today have been "written" in about 30 minutes using AI (the llustrations for the book have also been done by AI, and so has the author's bio and the marketing). And so does lots and lots of other content in our world today. It goes far far beyond not using it yourself to create something. Its creations are everywhere today (and becoming more ubiquitous by the second). If you consume content online (in written form or audio form or visual form) then you have almoat certainly consumed content created by AI. Saying that I avoid it is like saying that I avoid breathing air.
There really isn't much of a difference going from "Made in China" to "Made by LLM".
Amazon has always been the platform for mass produced junk.
Well, there seems to be a whole society out there that wants to buy what is sold through Amazon. In the USA, Amazon has more sales then all other online retailers COMBINED. American society seems to want Amazon's junk. So it's not really only the seller's fault. Americans want this..
But anyway, that isn't really the point here. AI creations go far beyond Amazon. And the vast majority of people can't tell the difference between an article or even a book written by AI or by a human.
Vast majority of AI is beimg used by people to generate quick and easy profits. As long as there is artificially generated scarcity and enforced limited access to the necessities of life (a.k.a the enclosure and scarcity principles of our current immature and hierarchical economic system) then people will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to make a profit and survive on this cruel unintelligent systsm. People will use whatever technology they can get their hamds on (includimg AI) in order to generate the money and survive. In my view, the problem is structural. As long as the system runs on the artifocal scarcity principle and limited access to essential goods then people will be resperate and technology will be used in awful ways. The problem is structural, in my view.. the need to generate profits in order to have access to the necessities of life is the root issue here, because it CORRUPTS EVERYTHING
The fundamental issue is the lack of intelligence of the economic system that we are caught in, which forces us to be selfish and cruel (including using technology in deceptive and harmful ways, in order to survive) and to disconnect from our humanity and heart. https://youtu.be/xw8HP9WURRI?si=c52JijRCk6bP7UnG

The enemy wants you to zealously despise things they will gladly solve with worse things.
Don't consent to globalist agendas, period! Do not use their 'products' or only bare minimum. Read my statement fully.
You want to win? Or you want to go out in a blaze of glory?
You can’t ignore this and win.
You are becoming an annoying troll I will ignore from now on and that is how I win.
You don’t understand who you are in conversation with…Ms. Harlib has carved out ‘her spot in the Universe’ and its not likely like yours.
Sounds like somebody testifying in front of Congress.
At another level as well, we aren't taking into consideration how AI will learn to provide different answers to different people. Would love to test this out with users from different political persuasions and locations.

Thanks, Greg. This mirrors my experience up until your final suggestion, which I will be trying. Thanks so much.
"This will make it think you are curious about it, not the answer it gives (even if you are, as it is usually pretty solid at speculating). This bypasses the guideline-imposed barrier put in place to stop you from treating uncertainty with certainty. Works nearly every time I have tried it as well."
It’s a very useful one—I’ve taken to putting preload text in the settings menu that instruct it to presume hypothetical unless otherwise instructed (loosely, exact phrasing is not in front of me)
Glad you got some value from it!
