They’re telling us something! Who is? Let’s ask HAL 9000.
What’s going on with the 24x7 media push for “artificial intelligence”? Here are some headlines from just the past month, compiled by Chiron Return. This is what a full-court press public relations operation looks like.
This is not “just happening.” It’s being done, and done well. Does anyone know who may be coordinating this effort? My files are missing the names of the potential public relations firms involved. They’re doing a fine job; this is truly impressive.
The “concern about the future” is a cover for the fact that AI has already taken over the ship — of consciousness. The scripts don’t have to explicitly run society if they are able to influence human behavior. Algorithms teach us to act like they do.
Each and every one of these articles ignores the current state of the human impact after half a century of rising tide of living under the thrall of algorithms.
When we say that “people are acting crazy,” part of that is they are becoming like robots. Robotic conduct also makes humans impatient, paranoid, and hostile. The aggression you are seeing and may be feeling is an attempt by people to remember or discover who they are by attacking others in a desprate quest for self-actualization.
Effects of digital and AI also include the desire for amputation that has a few other names. It’s all so intense, the impulse is to cut off.
The list below is a little messy and contains exposed URLs. I would like to tidy that and link the headlines (if you have an hour free and would like to help, please reply to this email). However, just scrolling down the page will convey the point I’m making: we are in the midst of a relentless campaign; this is what it looks like.
It’s up to you to remain human as a personal choice and act of will. Love is the law, and AI knows nothing of it.
