I agree it is important, but open source has not sufficiently challenged the institutions in the area of information dissemination and social connection so far. In other words, google, still owns search, instead of like presearch, and rest

But that is the point. It only emphasizes the concern. It is where I draw upon the insight to foresee where this technology will lead us. AI is simply a power upgrade for all the institutions who wish to control thought and social engineer

Yes, I agree. The real concerns are already here. Long term risk is impossible to evaluate. I'm more concerned about the societal implications for AI used as "intended". Such as I've elaborated on FYI https://

lol, not so much right now. But everyone who is worried about AI existential risk wiping out humanity, I'm not sure they have considered that an all powerful AI could easily create a mind virus to control everyone. Why not, billions of

All roads of AI advancement seem to be converging on dystopian outcomes. It is not just elections, but the complete end of privacy which also means the end of free societies which I wrote about as well here. https://www.mindpriso

Attempts at having an unbiased AI will simply lead to biased AI. What I have described as the Bias Paradox. https://www.mindprison.cc/p/ai-the-bias-paradox

Based on hedonic adaptation it may be the case we can't perceive the true state of society. However, it is also true that past civilizations have collapsed, so it isn't a given that warnings should be ignored.

Yes, slow down and observe the world is the heightened human experience that we have left behind as we have plundered into an algorithmically run society fueled on attention engagement.

Which is why I followed with "Yes, illusions have existed in some form". Illusions for which it is possible to pierce the veil even though some might not. The new illusions will not be possible for anyone. OpenAI already abandoned

"Is it different than prior mis/disinformation or than addictive media like computer games?" Substantially so. Nothing prior became indistinguishable from reality. Yes, illusions have existed in some form, but they were still

This works as a novelty for a moment's interest. However, it quickly fades as AI is making authenticity a crisis of meaning. The new Meta announcements are bringing a flood of new gimmickery to the social platforms. More fake realities

They continue to move away from the vision of the user being in control of their content and not opaque algorithms. I submitted this feature request that was highly ranked, but certainly will never be implemented. https://github.

Yes indeed. And yet despite the fact it should have been obvious and that it should be really obvious right now, we are still moving full speed ahead into the Orwellian nightmare.
