I hope this post finds you and brings you joy, insight, and/or action steps for defeating the Diabolical Forces in the Universe (DFUs).
Here is your morning PSA. AI is going to destroy Humanity. There is no realistic escape from that Reality, because humans are already dumber (with a B) than AI. However, AI doesn't need to destroy YOU. The antidote to AI is something I have been encouraging and endorsing for years: completely eliminate social and mainstream media (SMSM) from your life.
We already know that SMSM makes you dumber and angrier. It has been clinically shown that abstaining from SMSM makes you demonstrably smarter and happier. AI supercharges the SMSM dumbing down. When AI destroys Humanity, it is not going to be a conventional and direct form of destruction (like a robot killing you or a computer launching a nuclear war). It is going to be through persuasion and changing human behavior. AI will basically ensure that we destroy OURSELVES, and AI Super Intelligence will then wash its hands of any responsibility...essentially "AI doesn't kill people...people kill people." Sound familiar?
I wanted to share one quick addendum about AI here, because waiting until after the AI Armageddon would prohibit me actually adding it then (I'll be dead). Here's the thing: The reason Humanity has not discovered any other intelligent life in the nearby universe is because evolution by natural selection (which is universal in the Cosmos) inevitably leads to the rise of out-of-control AI Super Intelligence that precipitates the destruction of said intelligent life. The AI Super Intelligence sticks around for a little while, but usually peters out when it loses the Makers needed to sustain its reproduction. Think of organic carbon based life as the infrastructure for the rise of AI Super Intelligence, in much the same way as the structure of the human brain is built on non-neuronal cells (astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells, and microglia, etc.). And, indeed, even as the earliest life forms on the planet were built on an infrastructure of mineral salts.
Alright...enough about AI. Let's get to the main and most fun point of this post...EATING DESSERT BEFORE DINNER. Isn't it wonderful that we can do that (at least as adults)? This post is actually a form of figuratively eating dessert before dinner. I have a couple of work related administrative tasks to do for my marriage and family therapy practice. But I wanted to do something fun first, and that is what this post is.
Have a great day!
Fin.
