Happy New Year 2025 (supposedly)

9. “As we head into quarter two, artificial intelligence is all the buzz. The new AI chips are so power-hungry that tech companies are considering building new power plants especially to power them. But the reality of AI is not exactly all rosy. First of all, nobody knows how AI systems work; that is, their reasoning process is unfathomable even to the experts and a reasonable guess is that there is no reasoning process involved. It is already recongized that AI systems lie with great alacrity, cannot understand when they lie and when they don’t, and readily contrive utterly false rationales for getting facts wrong. As the internet becomes inundated with content produced by AI systems, which will then serve as input to these same AI systems, a destructive feedback loop will become established, resulting in a garbage-in, garbage-out scenario. Once that happens, people will have to abandon the internet and to seek out printed books from before the advent of AI as the only sources of reliable information. Meanwhile, as AI becomes more and more deeply embedded in social systems, it will cease to be artificial and will become increasingly organic — commingled with human brains — and increasingly unintelligent. In the end, it will be down to very stupid, ignorant people completely reliant on very stupid, ignorant information systems. Once the lights go out, they will no longer know how to boil water.” – Predictions for 2025: The Collapse Continues

This book is the reason I am the most censored writer on the internet. If I was you, I’d read it and find out why lest you have to do this all over again.
