Edward Snowden and Ben Goertzel on the AI Explosion and Data Privacy
Former defense contractor and activist Snowden and cognitive scientist Goertzel discuss the surveillance implications of recent advancements in AI at Consensus 2023.
In the surveillance economy, you are not just the data; you are the target.
And far too many humans seem to get some satisfaction from being targets; being a target is a form of being needed - being important. Just that you are not - important - you are just being manipulated so that all your resources are sucked out of you and into the system controllers. It's all so convenient.
To slightly correct Goertzel, governments have three advantages: the money, the huge data facilities and the law that allows them to ignore citizen concerns.
Blizzard and Adobe tap generative AI tools to be 'co-pilot' to humans

Helping humans become more stupid, more dependent and more obedient.
Like 1984's Newspeak, what when an AGI will not even let you write down what you really think, never mind sending it to others?
"there is no proof that this is true"... [because all such data has been wiped from the database}.
Glad to be of service.
It won't be a "co-pilot", it will be the navigator.

Enjoy your trip - as you have no choice.

Governance of superintelligence

truly dangerously naive - just as corporate jurisdictions seem to have almost no power to enforce rules. Notice how the ESG propaganda is corporate led, hence money is used to enforce behaviour, not any legal niceties.

haha - stop stealing content without paying its creators.
This is obvious in services such as "auto-translate" - it doesn't translate anything, it just searches for existing translations done by humans. Hence can sometimes get garbage becoming the norm, such as "curation" becoming "healing", which is laughable yet persistently wrong.
at what point do you ignore ALL of it!?

oh, but it's soooo convenient!
Snowden's last comments are frighteningly comical - training these language models on the lowest form of human interactions, eg Reddit, I'd add Twatter.
Proof this is dangerous is from another researcher, who said that AI estimates of probabilities have become as dumb as the average human! What's the point?
This is where true knowledge-engines will be superior than word-processors.
knowledge-engines will be censored!
Go on, Wolfram, create something truly disruptive - blow up the fake-engines.
Just like all the deceptive fact-checkers - a true veracity-engine.

A longer view from Goertzel
nice Nietzsche T-shirt!
I do disagree with his view of decentralisation - I still haven't seen a system that cannot be later centralised.
Late and lame, or regulatory capture to limit other researchers?
Notice the woketard addition of plandemic - I'm surprised they didn't include the climate hoax. I wouldn't sign it just for those addenda trying to legitimise global scams on humanity.
