Transcript for 4/23/24: RO-MAN V.S. HU-MAN

Over the weekend, the family went out for an event for Janine's birthday. We all wanted to see an anime film, so we all go together and watched it. During the previews, I was completely engaged with a new film that is coming out called "The Wild Robot." I wondered if it was based on the books that were out a while ago. 

I also had some remembrances of the film "The Iron Giant."

This little robot is to the Iron Giant is what Grogu, or baby Yoda is to Yoda. 

It appears to be a fish out of water type of trope, where you can't expect the fish --in this case, a cute Robot Toddler to act like a fish. 

It is a theme that needs to be reinforced over and over again about any Artificial intelligence. The Little Robot that could -- often does, and if it is programmed well, it can serve man waiting for dignity and ethics.

I am going to see it, because I somehow have a soft spot for robots or cyborgs in any science fiction story -- as they are always written to reflect humanity.

They always seem to have this Pinocchio yearning to be a real boy theme which is actually bizarre when you consider that in this world of Transhumanism, people are wanting the reverse Pinocchio effect-- yearning to be more like machines.

We have opened the door to this idea, far more than we have to things like cloning, or epigenetics.

Many of us have seen popular science fiction movies about robots taking over the world and eradicating humanity. But little do we know that this is exactly what is being prepared by the global leaders. It is what they are promoting, developing, financing, and calling for, all around the world.

The globalists even claim that this is the only way to save the Earth from total collapse. Without exiting the era of mankind and entering into the era of NEO-HUMANITY, the world is doomed, they say. One of their arguments is that humans are the cause of climate change, and must therefore be replaced with artificial alternatives to “save the planet”.

This worldwide reformation is called “The Fourth Industrial Revolution” and is intended to completely digitize every aspect of life on Earth.

Robots are already replacing nurses, social workers, psychological assistants, doctors, cashiers, cooks, law enforcement, etc., in several areas of the world. The first computer chips are already being implanted into humans. The blending of man with machine is a reality, while AI is taking the world by storm, removing millions of human jobs as we speak.

The horrifying thing is that specifically those sensitive jobs where people need a human touch, true understanding, and emotional support are being replaced with robots. Can you imagine being taken care of by a robot in a hospital or nursing home? That’s exactly what is happening. Removing the human experience, which is so precious, beautiful, and deep, and replacing it with unfeeling robotic alternatives.

The mission to mold humans into being more like machines is underway and while it is being sold as a blessing and convenience to humanity -- it strikes me as being a cold existence, a sterile experience void of the soul - and what that should contribute to the world.

Sure, technology is indistinguishable from magic -- but there is a magic that is in all of us that suffers in silence and it is alight that needs to be extinguished for the transhuman post-human experience to begin. 

If you ever want to see the future, I recommend you go to the Boston Dynamics website. The videos that they use to showcase their robotic systems are amazing -- and even though the robots being shown are very lifelike, The company assures everyone that what they are seeing is not a man in a robot suit.

Last week Bostin Dynamics unveiled a new humanoid robot that creepily moves like no other robot has moved before.

The new fully electric Atlas robot represents a path to commercialization and a new generation of robots that will leave people asking if this is the beginning of the Cyberdyne (Terminator) robot. 

Demand for humanoids in factories will likely erupt by the mid-2030s. After that, the commercialization of these robots should drive down prices. This could unlock the potential for these robots infused with AI to work in the service industry or be adopted by households. This is all terrible news for low-skilled, low-wage workers-- but first Dibbs goes to the military of course. This paves the way for the military-industrial complex killing machine that might be available as soon as 2025.

The consumer will be invited to allow cybernetic smart services to conduct basic needs for everyone in the next 5 years.

Smart beds could wake us up at the perfect time to feel rested by reading our body temperature, respiration, and brain activity. Intelligent kitchens could help us eat more healthily, preparing a tailored diet based on chemical cues in our bloodstream (biomarkers). A smart bike would automatically change gears based on the changing inclination of the terrain, and on our fitness levels, to support an effective workout.

Smart glasses could analyze the responses of the pupils in our eyes and our overall eye movements to feed us content that we are likely to enjoy (supported by AI algorithms). 

Video calls could evolve into 3D full-body holograms of friends and family. Lastly, immersive entertainment could be projected in our living rooms or exist in headsets to become 360-degree experiences rather than being confined to flat screens.

Although it may seem futuristic, hardware manufacturers are already trying to move screens and devices out of our hands. For example, the Mobile World Congress 2024 showcased several smartwatches, an AI “pin” device made by the company Humane that can remove the need for a screen by projecting images onto the user’s hands, or the Air Glass 3 XR smart glasses.

Other companies have also recently released head-worn devices such as the Ray-Ban Meta, the Apple Vision Pro, or the Meta Quest 3. A device known as the Galea project is a kind of helmet that can be attached to XR headsets to capture data from facial muscles, the brain, eyes, the skin, and the heart.

This is clearly more invasive than a smart ring or smart glasses. It allows researchers to explore how future digital services might look if computers could access a range of data from the human body. This data would go far beyond what they can currently access – such as what we do on our smartphones.

In general, body data from wearables could fundamentally change how we interact with computers and the internet. 

Similarly, replacing smartphones with wearables and headsets would free up our hands and require new kinds of interaction with technology. Current prototypes propose using the gaze of our eyes to point and hand gestures in mid-air to click. However, this implies that these systems must continuously collect data on the user’s body.

The idea is to monitor body data -- to understand how people function from day to day -- once you are chipped or are equipped with a wearable, you will go through life as a contributor of data to society -- all for the greater good as they say.

Large datasets based on responses from the human body could unlock the design of digital tools that weave seamlessly into our daily lives with highly personalized capabilities. This includes the smart bed and the intelligent kitchen that can suggest a tailored diet.

The next wave of the internet is being designed around data decentralization – where users can potentially have greater control over how their data is used. This could prevent the misuse of personal information.

For example, the inventor of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners Lee, has been working on something called Solid. This open-source initiative lets people handle their data in personal web servers and choose which organizations can access it.

Instead of making people create an account for each service they want to use, Solid would provide a protocol to build what the project refers to as personal online data stores. This would be a way to let users host their personal data on their own computer or, alternatively, choose a trusted provider to host it based on their reputation and physical location.

However, to really cement these initiatives, proactive legislation towards digital sovereignty – a person’s right to control their own digital data – would be required. This would guarantee an internet that truly takes privacy seriously.

In the era of wearables and powerful AI systems, a decentralized approach to the internet would be vital for letting citizens enjoy the benefits of these technological advances while continuing to own their data. This would move us towards the ability of citizens to make active decisions on where their data is stored, who can access it, and for what purposes.

Wearables are Smartphones, fitness trackers, Smartwatches, hearing aids, Apple AirTags, and Ring products, all use Bluetooth LE (low energy) to form an independent “mesh network” that is not based on the Internet. 

All these devices can receive, send, and forward data packets and instructions to other devices. Almost all IoT devices will be equipped with BLE. Thus, the infrastructure or "matrix" is complete, just waiting to sink its teeth into humanity everywhere.

Things will slowly convert to a tap-and-receive system-- and soon if you wish to be part of society, you will have to learn how to utilize these devices to function in society. 

The Proposal being rushed through the World Health Organization requiring a health passport is one of the key components in this new technology.

So, the simple concept of Contact Tracing can be implemented during a future pandemic, documenting every person you have exposed and all you have been exposed to.

Digital money, or World coin will also be hooked up to this system, and at the touch of a button -- transferrable digits will be used to pay debts. This, according to the banks will be a more convenient way to do transactions in the future. 

However, we all know that all of the data will be used to spy on your spending, and at anytime -- the transference of digits could end at any time for past debt that is do, and if you are found to be resisting or being an activist against the ruling class.

The data packets that you send out automatically also can identify all other people you come in contact with -- within 1 Kilometer. 

Mesh networks form spontaneously and dynamically, depending on how many devices are nearby. Eventually, collectors on the Internet will forward packets to those who requested them in the first place. Returning instructions can be dropped back into the mesh network for execution and control of devices.

It is like air passing from person to person -- we all breathe the same air and we all need each other's wearable or chip to keep the data infrastructure alive and functioning.

This is like plugging into the matrix servers, this is how you contribute to a future transhuman world.

This is how The World Economic Forum will usher in a new era of neo-humanity, in which people are a mix of man and machine and our thoughts and emotions will be monitored by AI.

Technologies are being installed in every nation of the world that will continually record all the thoughts, emotions, and dreams of everyone. These technologies even can insert thoughts and emotions into the population. That is not a conspiracy theory, as it is publicly stated by the former president of Chile, Sebastian Pinera, and by the Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum, Ida Auken, former minister of the environment of Denmark.

In Europe, the public ‘School TV’ tells kids how ‘cool’ it is to have a chip in your brain.

Google is organizing symposia declaring how humans will become one with computers, while the CEO of Nokia says that, in a few years, everyone will have their smartphones inside their body. This means that every detail of our lives can be constantly monitored. Meanwhile, the World Economic Forum hosts conferences about ‘brain transparency’, discussing how all our most intimate, personal data will be stored in the cloud and controlled by Big Tech.

All this falls in line with the announcement of the WEF that by 2030, no one will have any privacy. Klaus Schwab says we will have to get used to a society of “full transparency”, where everything we think, feel, and dream is monitored.

As with every technological advancement, generative artificial intelligence tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, image generator Midjourney or Claude, the chatbot created by AI startup Anthropic, are used for productivity and creation as well as increasingly for scams and abuse.

Among this new wave of malicious content, deepfakes are especially noteworthy.

These artificially generated audiovisual content pieces include voter scams via impersonating politicians or the creation of nonconsensual pornographic imagery of celebrities.

Many people who use the internet are concerned about inorganic manipulation by Bots, and algorithms, and 71 percent of respondents to an online survey by Microsoft last July and August 2023 were very or somewhat worried about AI-assisted scams.

Without further clarifying what constitutes this kind of scam, it is most likely connected to the impersonation of a person in the public eye, a government official, or a close acquaintance of the respondents.

Tying for second are deepfakes and sexual or online abuse with 69 percent.

AI hallucinations, which are defined as chatbots like ChatGPT presenting nonsensical answers as facts due to issues with the training material, come in fourth, while data privacy concerns, which are related to large language models being trained on publicly available data of users without their explicit consent, takes fifth place with 62 percent. Overall, 87 percent of respondents were worried at least somewhat about one problematic AI scenario.

Despite the huge market for artificial intelligence – estimated to be between $300 and $550 billion in 2024 by various sources – the survey results indicate that ignoring its potential pitfalls and dangers could prove detrimental to society at large. 

This is especially true in sensitive areas like politics. With the U.S. presidential elections looming in the fall, the social media landscape is bound to be rife with artificially generated mis- and disinformation.

This will be problematic because many people are incapable of using discretion when viewing online deep fakes or parodies -- and even with fact-checking, there can be the excuse that whatever you see is a deep fake when in reality it isn't -- the truth is media will come to a point where it cannot be trusted -- in fact a lot of it now cannot be trusted --and we will continue to believe what we are comfortable with.

Will this new path for mis-, dis-, mal-information simply become ‘regulated’ to fit with the government’s definitions of ‘truth’… “for our own good?”

Do you see how we are setting ourselves up for more confusion? 

Everything is whizzing by so fast, and I am sure many people are in denial or hoping that whatever happens next does not affect them in any way -- but it will eventually, especially when the world is in the business of controlling information, and social itinerary.

It may even control future religious beliefs. 

In the context of AI, the danger of idolatry arises when humans ascribe divine attributes to AI systems and elevate them to objects of worship or over-dependence. 

This can manifest in various forms, from attributing infallibility to AI-generated predictions or scriptural interpretations to seeking guidance or even salvation from AI entities. Overdependence on AI systems for life choices also falls under the category of idolatry. This may lead to increasing reverence for AI which will ultimately undermine our relationship with God.

I am always in awe of how aliens have somehow evolved into becoming fallen angels and demons -- while deified A.I. could be the real beast knocking on the door.

An “AI god” could be imagined as an autonomous entity with the ability to make personal recommendations and decisions as well as take actions independently of human control. This raises questions about the extent to which humans could be influenced by AI systems once the latter attains critical thresholds in terms of its sophistication.

Many are already saying that A.I. is what gives the antichrist his image-- whatever that is supposed to mean remains to be seen -- but I do not hear any word from the Pope or any other religious authority warning people of an intelligence that can and will eventually replace God.
