It’s January and the New Year is upon us.
It’s customary at this time of year for those of us pundits and pontificators who make our living scanning the news feeds to make our predictions for the coming year, so—why not?—I’ll go ahead and throw my hat in the ring, too.
But this year I’m going to do something a little different: I’m going to make one Sure-Bet prediction, one Maybe Possible prediction and one It’s Not Technically Impossible! aspirational prediction.
Let’s go!
The Ai that people are familiar with is not the Ai that is posing the biggest threat. I have mentioned this before in varying capacity but will reiterate. A technique known as Agent Based Modelling within the context of Complex Adaptive Systems is what people need to be looking at. This technique can implement Ai to a network and manipulate outcomes in very esoteric and obscure ways. A butterfly flapping it’s wings type stuff. The people who created the A-bomb went on to develop this, dare I say this technology is more powerful than the A-bomb. My hope is you all look into this so as the small fraction of you that actually grasp the implications can start finding better ways to communicate this unseen danger. Look at the “Santa Fe Institute” in the US and the “Alan Turing institute” in the UK. If you dig a few layers deep on both these websites and don’t get butterflies in your stomach your a braver soul than I. IBM Watson and IBM’s “brain in a box” also needs further light shine on it. IBM and it’s partners need to be technically scrutinised and aggressively audited.
These are also the tools that enable very real weather manipulation.
I love your attitude. It’s refreshing in a world of doom and gloom. When I’ve reached my limit and have room for no more fear, deceit and lies I come to this site and get refreshed. I have been following you since you first video before NWNW even. I have checked out your sources and have found you to be one to be trusted.
So thank you James for years of truths
