the great transformation

Réseau InternationalThe Great Transformation is destroying the foundations of our lives

International Network - Apr 26, 2024

And aims to transform humans into robots.

   

Artificial intelligence (AI) – there is hardly a keyword that comes up more often when it comes to visions of a highly technological and progressive society. It is not only supposed to simplify our lives and relieve us of certain tasks: the most daring visionaries of technological development in Silicon Valley, like Raymond Kurzweil and Elon Musk, even hope that it will make the old Faustian dream come true. to go beyond the limits of the human body.

Thanks to technology, man should be able to become a superman and increase his cognitive abilities exponentially, according to Elon Musk, the boss of Tesla, the X platform and also Neuralink. Its “Neuralink” chip, directly implanted in the human brain – according to Musk’s own words, a human trial is already underway – should initially help treat serious brain diseases.

And if we are to believe the director of technical development of Google (part of the American technology giant Alphabet), Raymond Kurzweil, technical progress should not only give us eternal life, but also, as part of “the Internet of all things”, leading us to unsuspected knowledge as part of a sudden takeoff of progress, what we call the singularity.

This vanguard of transhumanism wants to achieve eternal life before the end of the world by gradually transforming man himself into a machine or by uploading his mind to a cloud. At the same time, more and more scientists like Geoffrey Hinton and philosophers like Alexander Duguine and Alain de Beonist are warning about the dangers of AI – so it's time to look at the possibilities and dangers of AI.

The Great Transformation

These ideas find enthusiastic support not only in the United States, but also among Western elites, who have coalesced around Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum. As part of their “Great Reset”, proclaimed in the wake of COVID-19 measures in July 2020, Western societies – and, depending on their will, the entire world – must be transformed in the direction of the new liberalism 2.0, which some observers call “billionaire socialism.”

Schwab and his co-author Thierry Malleret speak openly about the need to capture people's consciousness, because that is the only way to drive major social change. A massive green transformation of the economy, a reduction in population and a “climate-friendly” diet with insects instead of meat. “You will own nothing and you will be happy!” is the mocking slogan of the people of Davos. This is precisely where the latest technological developments come into play, intertwining with censorship strategies such as political correctness and “cancel culture”.
The algorithm, the key to the total domination of the globalists

In the eyes of transhumanists, man does not have a divine soul or free will, but is only a set of algorithms – rules of action for solving a problem or an entire class of problems – and can therefore not only be understood as a computer, but also programmed (i.e. manipulated). Political correctness then takes on the function of such an algorithm to limit people's autonomous thinking and transform them themselves into machines obeying the will of liberal elites.
Cybernetics: how people voluntarily become slaves to technology

In the tradition of cybernetics, companies like Google/Alphabet, but also European governments, are therefore interested in collecting as much data as possible on their citizens, not only to better monitor them in the sense of "human transparent” and thus nip dissident movements in the bud, but also to better control them.

Globalist companies like Google/Alphabet – whose name has become synonymous with Internet search – obtain this data with disconcerting ease and without pressure: billions of users every day feed the group's search engine with their data, use their email programs, etc. which Google in turn transforms into hard currency, like social media such as Facebook and Instagram, which sometimes know more about their users than the latter themselves. The voluntary sacrifice of privacy and anonymity makes ordinary citizens potential game for international corporations.

Gemini by Google

Jacob's ladderGemini, Google's ultra-Woke engine

Jacob's Ladder - Feb 27, 2024

Last week, while OpenAI was thrilling the world of artificial intelligence with Sora, the first engine allowing the creation of small, realistic videos from a simple textual description, Alphabet (the parent company of Google) launched boasts the new version of its conversational agent, the global company's response to ChatGPT from OpenAI, itself owned by Microsoft. The least we can say is that we were not disappointed.

   

As usual to properly launch its product, Google subtly changed the name from Bard to Gemini (as it had gone from Google Apps to GSuite then Workspace, or from Google Local to Places to MyBusiness to Business Profile, or Google Hangouts to Chat, etc.) while giving it new features.

It must be recognized that Google's artificial intelligence engine is powerful.

The next few weeks will undoubtedly allow us to explore in detail what it has under the hood, but we already know, for example, that Gemini now has a pop-up of one million tokens. This pop-up window is what allows the agent to remember the exchanges from one question to the next. By comparison, ChatGPT 3.5 (the free version) has a window of around 16.000 tokens and version 4 allows up to 128.000 tokens and to give an order of magnitude, this last number represents the equivalent of a book of pocket roughly, where Gemini can remember a complete work of 1.500 pages…

Or a film of around an hour and a half: Gemini allows the user to provide images or videos as contextual input on which to base their responses; to quickly summarize a video, this may prove particularly interesting in the near future.

But alongside these undeniable technical advances and truly interesting power, Gemini stood out above all for the very rapid identification of a problem that was quite embarrassing for the Mountain View firm in California: undoubtedly wanting to catch up in in terms of image production from a textual description – OpenAI has indeed been allowing its clients to produce images for several months directly from ChatGPT – Gemini was equipped with this possibility but in use, it quickly became apparent that certain requests were simply not accepted or the gap between requests and results was so great that, very quickly, social networks took over the matter.

No doubt: when Gemini is asked to produce images with historical content or representing certain ethnic groups, the latter interprets the request a little too specifically.

Thus, obtaining the image of a medieval knight or a pope results in the production of images systematically in gross disagreement with reality: Google's artificial intelligence enjoys creating, with suspicious enthusiasm, knights medievals of all possible ethnicities but the blond knight with blue eyes is strangely absent; the images of popes produced happily draw on women, possibly Indian or black; as for the Roman emperors, they are all surprisingly very African.

The milestone was reached when faced with the request to represent German soldiers in 1943, Gemini saw fit to produce a series of resolutely inclusive images including proud black representatives of the Wehrmacht... Who still doubted that historical reality could bend as easily to the most modern constraints?

Skynet - jobs?!

InsolentiaeONCLUSIVE. The first massive layoff plan due to AI!

Insolentiae - Sep 21, 2023

“Skynet begins to learn at geometric speed”, it is through one of these sentences that we understand in the film Terminator, that the AI ​​has begun to overtake man, to the point of wanting to destroy him, which provoked the war of man against machines, a war, where... man is very fragile, very weak in the face of the unlimited computing power of computers.

   

Here we are.

Skynet, in real life, ours is not called Skynet. You know it better under the general public name of ChatGPT.

When I start this article with “Skynet begins to learn at geometric speed,” that’s no coincidence.

In Courbevoie, 217 positions will be eliminated by June 2024 within the Onclusive group, specialist in media monitoring for companies and institutions. They will be replaced by artificial intelligence...

2030, robots have more rights than you

Digital DawnIt's 2030, and robots have more rights than you...

Digital Dawn - Feb 15, 2023

Ruminating on our dominant robots and the absent storyline.

   

Since the launch of ChatGPT, artificial intelligence (AI) has been the subject of renewed interest. Every time AI captures the public's imagination, we are subjected to frantic guesswork about how it will inevitably invade the future and change our lives.

We are led to believe that AI will usher in an era of hyper-intelligent overlords, so advanced that our crude, analog cognitive abilities will be surpassed, that the existential question of the future will center on:

- What power or what rights do we confer on these beings?
- Will they act benevolently or maliciously towards us?

But these questions presuppose a central assumption around AI that everyone agrees is not true today but inevitably will be in the future – after a few more iterations of the Moore's law...

It's about the idea that AI will reach general artificial intelligence, which implies a certain degree of sensitivity (otherwise, there is no right to give).

Doctor ChatGPT

Something fishyAI almost passes US medical licensing exam

Eel under the Rock - 14 Feb 2023

Doctor ChatGPT? It seems more and more that there's nothing ChatGPT can't do, even consult judges in cases and stimulate research.

   

Today, the AI ​​chatbot was found to score at or near the approximately 60% pass mark for the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), "with answers that a coherent and internal meaning and which contain frequent ideas”.

That's according to a study published Thursday in the open-access journal PLOS Digital Health by Tiffany Kung, Victor Tseng and their colleagues at AnsibleHealth.

The USMLE is a series of three highly standardized and regulated exams required to obtain a license to practice medicine in the United States. Passed by medical students and physicians-in-training, the USMLE assesses knowledge in most medical disciplines, from biochemistry to bioethics to diagnostic reasoning.

To see how language mode would perform on this very complex exam, Kung and his colleagues tested how ChatGPT performed on the test. They removed image-based questions and asked ChatGPT 350 of the 376 public questions available in the June 2022 release of the USMLE.

ChatGPT scored between 52,4% and 75% on all three USMLE exams. These scores bode very well since the pass mark is around 60% each year.

ChatGPT also demonstrated 94,6% agreement across all of its responses and produced at least one meaningful insight for 88,9% of its responses.

Réseau InternationalIt's not crying wolf... the wolf is at the door

International Network - Jan 31, 2023

So says the grim headline of the Daily Mail, referring to the fact that advances in artificial intelligence (AI) could make so-called "white-collar" jobs, i.e. all jobs that can be done in an office.

   

Tech giant Microsoft has already laid off an incredible 10 workers, after investing heavily in a new AI tool, ChatGPT. This “chatbot” can produce human-like texts, such as writing essays and poetry, and has already passed several professional-level tests, including law exams and MBA modules.

Although the robot is not yet as capable as the most advanced professionals, it is predicted that it will soon close the gap – and then surpass it, effectively rendering human labor redundant in many lucrative sectors.

Already, professional copywriters (those who compose text for the business and commerce world) are facing mass panic as AI is able to produce fresh, original copy that is next to impossible. to be distinguished from those produced by a human – and at zero cost. In an article in the Guardian, Henry Williams, a leading copywriter, bluntly states: “I'm a copywriter. I'm pretty sure artificial intelligence is going to take my job."

Williams observes that an article that would take him hours of research, writing and rewording, and editing, can be produced by AI "in about 30 seconds" - and that what he would charge around £500, the AI ​​does it for free. It is therefore inevitable that within the next decade, AI will have completely overwhelmed this sector. As Williams says:

“Any sentimental attachment to man-made content will certainly be quickly quashed, I suspect, by the economic argument. After all, AI is a super fast workforce that doesn't eat, sleep, complain or take vacations.

None of this, of course, is groundbreaking news for anyone who has analyzed the factors behind the pandemic staged over the past three years – in short, the illusion of a “deadly pandemic” has been made by world-class theater producers to trick people into taking a dangerous injection that would dramatically shorten their lives. The reason for this is that social engineers want to get rid of most human beings, since with advances in AI, their work is no longer needed.

It's as simple and as monstrously evil as that, and if people are able to look at the situation objectively, and ask why a ruling class with a long history of psychopathy, war and merciless murder, would be incited to keep billions of people it no longer “needs”, the stark – yet very simple – truth becomes apparent.
