@Tjuz I just can't register the concept of letting anyone else speak for you. Least of all an A.I. with absolutely zero personality of its own.

• I can, but not a machine. I call it delegation not abdication and it works. We have a kind of ban on A.I. in business, it's not reliable, can be penetrated and manipulated, and doesn't bleed when you prick it. I trust nothing that doesn't bleed.

And that's exactly what that class of people wants. They don't want people with an original spark who question, have unique views or go against the grain. They want easily predictable, mindlessly controllable people to serve their investors.

• I'll be honest, I do hear that attitude. Sometimes nightly. Which is probably why my comments on certain articles are business focused and even-though the information is presented I don't think people get it. I do because I hear it from the source, I know how a certain class of people operate because I'm part of that system. Nothing I could say could really relay that properly. I think one of the first things I said to you is that it's easy to control the public through fear, this A.I. system is even easier, this is why I know I've seen A.I. news on State TV. Obviously I didn't raise the question offline but in hindsight that wasn't even for me, I have a lot of mixed thoughts on the subject and some of it loops back into what I was going to say to you on Discord last month then didn't. I'm not sure how to even vocalize it properly, I've been going back and forth on that something since December, so months. Though technically it's been years and I'm not sure if I came to that standing myself or if it was put there/influenced by someone else.

You said it a lot less abrasively than I did in my energized rant.

• I didn't see abrasion I saw passion for something that you think directly affects you and those around you. It doesn't affect me or my own, we don't adopt such systems it's like I said entirely insular. Tradition also plays into it, you use a machine to make coffee? I use a man to make mine, use isn't the right word, or people now use self-driving vehicles? I use a man for that too. Again I don't know another word for it, they have a job/payment/humanity/the ability to react and respond both behind the wheel and in critical situations. I wouldn't trust a machine with my safety. What I'm saying is that A.I. is automation and automation like that isn't used by my people. A.I. requires no payment yes? We see that as damaging economies not benefiting them, the machine requires people to run, not artificial people. When you take away someones livelihood you are damaging the system. A.I. isn't paying taxes, it's a cold way to describe it but I know no other way to say it. I don't want to sound like an economic vampyre, I'd like to think our way gives more back than any artificial intelligence. I just don't have enough overall exposure to what you're seeing to really say and that counts for many things.

Other than Yandex A.I. I have no access to anything A.I. related, I don't even know what I'd do with it. I think my need to learn organically cancels out ever using any of those systems even if I was allowed to. I was thinking recently how many websites I've ever seen and it's a very low number. I don't know what people do on the internet or why, my go to for everything has always been books. I think it goes back to what I said about the news/media. Maybe tomorrow something happens and then two years later someone writes about it. I gain nothing by knowing about it tomorrow, I can't affect that something, but I can learn about it in two years through a carefully written and concise manuscript. I'll never not be able to see the modern world/your world as not so focused on reaction.

By this I mean some people (lots?) see something and instantly react, they aren't taking the time to see all of the angles, it could be a human thing too. I'm getting off topic, I like certain technologies but have a low exposure to others. Come to think of it I took my first selfie for my profile here and I noticed after that the box was still in the picture, I'd unboxed a phone just for that. If you have a careful eye you can tell which were selfies and which weren't. I shouldn't be using the ones taken by my Partner but I like them and some are how you said appropriate so I can use them, in theory.

At least in my ''Negative Nancy'' view of the world! A.I. in its current state is doing a lot more damage than its doing any good and it shouldn't be used as a reliable source of information.

• This I fully believe hence my books. I can't say what I saw as A.I. news as in broadcasted through State TV but I've played enough video-games to doubt what I saw and it took a lot to react as expected. It wasn't my usual automatic response. The saying of disbelief on your face, it was like that. I think it was a test, I wasn't shown another one after that but I do believe the elderly wouldn't be so quick to see through it.

I'm sure Mark Zuckenberg isn't actively watching Instagram Reels all day, checking stories all the time or resposting slop on Facebook.

• Is a reel an A.I. video?
