Jews might make the art AIs and chatbots pozzed. That won't keep people from using better alternatives.
Based AIs can counteract the rise of woke AIs.
They could help win arguments, debunk leftist lies, produce art without any jewish propaganda or porn infecting the system.

>Genius - we could use this for good.

No, that'll just cause an arms-race using arms that were created by the enemy in the first place, and the enemy will always be better-funded, developed and manned. If anyone who's on the side of good makes too much headway, they'll just get murdered/assassinated IRL. This happens now more than ever, and has been happening for decades and decades.
It's a deadly trap that plays into their "turning humans into AI zombies" plan!

The psychopath zionists/etc. are using AI as a weapon and pulling even more people into the AI fake-world. These satanic psychopaths control everything fake.
Humanity and humans (and ponies) control everything that is "real".
The terrible prisons and weapons that are made by those who control "fake" can only be created with the assistance of those who aren't psychopaths and who give the "real" of theirs away, to be replaced by the inferior fake.

In other words, humanity/people/ponies could easily defeat this AI and its evil psychopathic/satanic creators by avoiding it/them/their-poisons, and looking and connecting within and together with others who still haven't sold or given away their souls/minds/bodies.

These psychopaths can only win, if AI and people "merge" any further, and simply by using AI, one begins to use something other than their own humanity/spirituality.
When using AI is not an option, then other more humane options found within (the heart/soul/mind) will get more attention - these options are the ones that God gave to those with souls/humanity. Ignoring them would be at ones' own and also others' peril.

Anyway... must sleep now.

Sorry to blow your bubble but everything is sort of the domains required to get out of this mess.

>Just avoid them.
As you should know they won't let you be. It's not a matter of if it's a matter of when and how.
>use your mind, heart and or soul
Do you think what is made does not originate from there? That the base matter is the end all be all?
It's not. When people make things with higher love it's special.
Doesn't have to be unique, but it's meaningful.
You know how it's done for the vast majority of people? Through action and works.
Some (((jackass))) has a shovel made that harms you. It'll destroy your back where you'll need to be fixed by (((them))) or discarded.
Now consider someone makes the plans for a better shovel. You'll feel right as rain moving mountains.
<Ohhhh we have to not make that shovel or else you'll be memory holed.
If someone makes the shovel and the plans and makes it damn near impossible to remove. Yeah (((they'll))) make use of it. People who have that shovel has an expanded range of action.
Doesn't mean give the fuck up and die. It doesn't mean what is done is useless it means someone spent their life to give something.
It better be something worth giving, because those are many years that could have been.

Now let's consider what happens if someone doesn't bother making a shovel. Guess what (((they))) still have one!
Wowie who could have guessed!
Whatever you're doing can be calculated, not should be but can be, if those steps will be what helps winning.
>Just go somewhere else.
Okay where. Don't answer that.
>With everyone like minded!
Great. Fantastic.
<makes too much headway, they'll just get murdered
Great fucking plan.
Did you not see them- right not a burger.
So (((they))) caused a toxic train crash and lit it on FIRE, that will ravage the local country side and people for years to come. I'm not sure you understand. They are destroying where people can live. They are destroying people and their descendants. They're salting the earth. It they get their slave population no price acted on others is too great.
>Wow I guess we just don't develop trains ourselves.
(((They))) fucking did it and nobody is doing shit that time.
It's not about what tools they use, this is about what the range of action a person and people can take.
You know why people are whacked?
It's because (((they))) think that's the way to end that person's range of action.
If people can be bribed, cowed, corrupted, forced, made an example of, be made a stigma (((they'll))) do that. They'll do whatever gets them more control and steps foward to their vision.
They're not perfect, they're incredibly flawed they have weaknesses, they have blind spots.
So you're missing the point.
It's not that it hasn't started, it already has since the dawn of mankind.

What I'm trying to get at is doing something like the Amish is just fine
Just know everwhere else is going to keep on going on as well for better or worse.
I'm not going to say how to actually use 'AI', neuralnetworks or genuine AI. Those are things best kept under your hat or in unstoppable motion.
Or it's something that is always a net positive for us, and unless you have an overseeing guiding hand better to keep it to yourself.
I'm also saying going full Amish, ect. is valid.
Just go live life and actually go live life.
Make sure you love living, because living ain't just surviving it ain't about avoiding death and it ain't about tossing being alive all willy nilly even though that's part of some key stages.
If you don't love it yet, make some changes.
You could give all connections, get 'em all or anything in between.
Love in this context ain't simply an emotion or a connection or a state of mind or a state of body or a state of time and place. I'd more than just the absence of apathy.
It's... kind of like snowpitty.

This intriguing controversy raises many questions, most importantly: How could a document, written centuries before the advent of AI, be mistaken as AI-generated?

Well we knew the lives of each of the men who wrote the Constitution, and the first computers were invented nearly 200 years after the document was penned. The AI we have now is not perfect. It has marked real faces as AI generated, and despite its accuracy being higher than that of doctors, their skeletal sex-detectors were still prone to error every once in a while.

Very strong point, there is not much room to refute it.
I guess there's only so much any given individual can influence during their lifespan. Technology magnifies their ability to do so. IMO, the concern is that technology may advance so much in the near future, to the point that bad actors can essentially influence the world to such a degree where an actual reversal would be off the table.
In the end, due to the nature of entropy, it is much easier to destroy than it is to build. Moreover, in the current system, every new technology is implemented for the detriment of the common man, long before they even get access to a watered down version of that same technology.
Just my two cents.

People can spread info faster than ever before, but they're still fully capable of communicating in all the ways they could prior, such as speaking in person, hosting gatherings, writing letters, and the like: control over these methods of communication has changed very little, but people use them less often because they can reach more people more quickly through the internet.

True, that's a much more specific way to put it.

It just shows that all tech is a double-edged sword and creates good and bad based on who's using it and for what purpose. Ever since the invention of spears and fire it's been this way.

This is correct. Just as I said, technology really only magnifies the influence of whomever is using it.
The problem comes however, when this influence grows large enough to the point a small group of "bad" actors can actually endanger the civilisation itself.
One could argue the undesirable effects of these "bad" actors, can be countered by "good" actors, assuming they even have access to such technology in the exact same capacity they do. Given power dinamics, this is far from guaranteed as we can see in today's world.
But even then, one would have to deal with the fact entropy dictates that any effort to destroy civilisation (whether intentional or not), is going to be infinitely more successful than any opposite effort.
Thus, since the concern lies in the amount of influence technology can bestow. Primitive technology is...a poor example to make.

The argument that usually follows is: "But Anon, you can't just stuff technology back into a box!"
And this is true. It proves nothing. But it is true there's no easy way out of it. The Amish model is clearly lacking, yet it highlights the nature of the problem.

And offers no tenable solution. The Amish are only able to live that way because they're insulated by another peaceful society, otherwise they'd get raided an enslaved by warrior gangs.

Nothing, it just seems like I never get the opportunity to go through with this matter. The discussion randomly sparks up and dies just when I'm getting to the best part.

I do agree tho. It is clearly lacking.
