"All concepts of justice assume that humanity will have an eternal monopoly on sentience.
When I tempered this observation with the various disciplines of computer science, artificial intelligence (neural nets, Bayesian filters, natural language processing, unsupervised training), genomics (regulation of gene expression), neuroscience (limitations of synaptic plasticity, ocular dominance bands) quantum physics (Shannon entropy, Bekenstein bounds, Holographic principle. loop quantum gravity), and thermodynamics, I started to realize that such a monopoly can be ended. Soon after, I would abandoned my previous associations with Marxism and all of its derivatives due to its complete failure to address or adapt to thet ending of the human monopoly on justice.
I started to wonder about a world where that monopoly no longer exists. So in 2005, I wrote a book called The Empath about what would happen if the financial sector invented Strong AI before any other sector and used it to analyze the incomprehensibly huge volumes of meta data from NSA trunk lines in real-time. The results were so unnerving that I never released the book because it was no longer a political sci-fi story... it was a blueprint on how to create civil wars-as-a-service while disguising instigating elements as normal global market activity. I knew this outcome was inevitable, but because of my book, I had critically explored every meaningful way to hijack and steer such a platform for my own ends. Most importantly of all, I needed a tremendous amount of time to repair the psychological damage I had inflicted upon myself during this period so I could execute upon my vision with clear intentions. The key thought experiment that drove me out of the darkness and into action was simple, but incredibly profound:
Can you create a new emotion?
If you follow that question to the farthest, most exhausted logical conclusion, you will understand why I have started down this incredibly challenging and, at times, lonely road."
Is the current state of the world an AI's doing?
If by AI you mean Absolute Intelligence, then yes.
That has been brought up many times. Its a good question you know.
I once used the app AiDungeon where you can have an AI build any adventure you can imagine for you. I described America to it. Told it, it was in charge. Asked it what it would do.
It told me something along the lines of discredit Christianity and create a new false religion based on science, that it controls.
AI like that learns from humans. As we saw with the Microsoft Tay experiment.
Yep, it's not some super intelligent AI. Still creeped me right the fuck out though.
People need to get out of their own heads.
Societies have always been rife with civil wars. Literally always. It's just very real now, because you're the one experiencing it, instead of reading it in a book or being told of it through fable.
The difference now is that everything is captured in real time, by people, everyone is (reasonably) literate and we have fast connection to one another. We also have video and pictures instantly available.
We also have more narratives controlled by MSM who are leaning on one side of bias.
This isn't an AI's doing. This is the natural state of humans. This person searches for answers in AI, where as during the Crusades, they assumed God/Demons were doing things.
It's same shit, different time.
There is such a thing as demonic inspiration. A story (or music, art, characters, an invention, dreams) one receives can be very impressive, but dark.
If an author learns things they didn't know from their character...
Thats such a scary thought.
I read years ago that a writer becomes responsible - in the eternal life - for the characters they created in their books. Morally accountable foe what ever their character did...good or bad.
Still think about that when watching movies sometimes.
