People are so distracted, an attempted assassination has already been memory holed by the media. No matter which candidate you support (or none of them) the last thing we need is to light that kind of match to things. We will have enough unrest regardless of who wins in November.

Meanwhile, I have seen some really positive things created with A.I. as well. I can't wait until we can input lyrics and melody and request what style, instrumentation and mix options we want. It is coming.

They said...AI will have a danger point on creating false news. it just adds to more BS I avoid looking at on Youtube. more garbage like Youtube anyway , Soap Opera in a box . We need the Robots on more Bullshit . Keeps us stupid to avoid the Deficit. what is now 9000 Trillion ? nice credit rating . 1000000 below the rest of us on buying shite we don't need. Well fuk it were the government .

The technology I have seen (behind NDAs) are way beyond what they show us publicly. And I know even the stuff I have seen pales compared to what governments have. AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is still a ways to go publicly, but none of us knows what they have hidden.

It will be used by the rich as unlimited free labor only restricted by power consumption. I fear they will ban regular people from having power so the elites can build monstrous automated workforces to enslave the rest of us in ways darker than all of history. It is sad because it COULD be amazing. We just have to hope that even with cyber workers, we still so outnumber them that our numbers might keep them afraid enough not to go to the worst extremes. To these people, mere $ billions isn't enough. It is time for citizens to take back their countries from globalist elites.

Think about somebody creating a ai video of a UFO encounter, claiming it's real.

An ai video of Jesus returning for his second return

Trump sleeping with Kamala.

How are wee going to know what's real?

Do we just say everything is Ai, then what if something real happens.

Scary for sure

Haha for sure. Now it's gonna be like..how it already is online ,everybody knows everything.

Now nobody will believe anything.

But it might strengthen the ole idiom of...

Innocent until proven guilty .....

Any lawyer will use the possibility of ai as a defense.

I guess somebody really smart will have to find an easy way to tell if something is AI.

One saying is, a picture is worth a 1000 words, now you need a 1000 words to explain that the picture is not real.

AI false news , you have to be stupid to watch it or don't have a life to follow all that crap . Elon Musk is a car salesman , I'm not overly impressed with AI , screaming in a phone , Talk to someone , a lot of hype is all it is, AI bs , is probably no worse than wasting your life away... on news on I got big tits on TV. A hurricane lands in the south , prayers for the victims , Well you should left the area . Not pray . More details by a Hustler model at 11 pm. So this act of God kills people , nope just weather , run .End of the world bullshit , nope sun come up sun goes down , just another day to write songs . or waste your life away , worrying about this 60 billion year -old planet ending . Comedy Central starts by 50 years old , or 4 divorces , what ever comes first .

My co-writer is in NC , he's knocked out for 3 weeks , no power. Happens every year in the south . could all the hype on AI helped the situations ? maybe.

The thing about unknowns is the fear it generates in some, the excitement it generates in others and how both feed the greed of the elitists drunk with power. AI is nothing more than another unknown that can both doom the planet and provide us with potentially useful resources. Either way, I'll be here enjoying the ride to my inevitable stop. Glad you could all be here with me. Pass the popcorn. :-)

Peace,

Dave

...

There is a quote floating around the Internet from Hannah Arendt:
"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want." -Hannah Arendt

This is so true, as made clear by what you say. The media is not lying to us (ALL OF IT). Some is, some isn't. There is still responsible journalism telling us the truth, but many don't believe it because they've been told it's all lies, because certain politicians and one in particular have destroyed the very concept of truth. So half of us spend our time obsessing over things that aren't true and we fail to tackle genuine problems because we can't even agree they exist. The irony is that even the quote above that I find so compelling is not genuine. Arendt did say all those things but not with that precise wording. So, is it even the truth? Not the content, which to anyone paying attention clearly is, but the formulation which is a paraphrasing of what she said.

Oops, I think my head just exploded.

30 minutes from now, another mood will come over you and you will write something 180 degrees from this.
I've learned just to wait on it.
