Criminal Medical Device Industry shows FDA Corruption at the Highest Levels – The FDA Protects Stockholders, NOT the Public

While many in the U.S. public are just now starting to wake up to the fact that the criminal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is corrupt due to the horrible amount of deaths and injuries caused by COVID "vaccines" and other protocols given emergency use authorization from 2020 through 2023, the fact is that the FDA has always been corrupt, protecting stockholders on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley, and not the public. Almost two years before COVID started, back in 2018, Netflix produced a documentary called "The Bleeding Edge," which revealed that the medical device industry was even more powerful and more corrupt than the pharmaceutical industry. I have edited a section of the film that is less than 14 minutes long, which shows how government and Pharma collude together to defraud the American people, and that corruption and fraud were committed by the same people starting in 2020 when the COVID Scam started. Be aware that this is not a "family-friendly" film and there is coarse language and graphic descriptions in some segments. But it will be quite an eye-opener for most of you if you have not yet watched this documentary. You will learn that the Medical Industry controls the FDA, and that the FDA has their back and protects their interests, and they do not care about public health. Those in the FDA who are concerned about public heath and try to expose the corruption, lose their jobs. These companies place a value on your life, and it is not worth much. They know full well that their products kill and maim people, but that is all factored into their business model, with the mantra being that "benefits outweigh" the deaths and injuries their products cause. The entire medical system is Satanic, and I wish I knew what I know now when I was a lot younger.

Pushback Against AI Hype is Increasing as AI Failures Continue to Increase

As Silicon Valley investors continue investing in the AI hype that started at the end of 2022 with Microsoft's release of ChatGPT, many now are beginning to wake up to the fact that AI's promises are still all hype at this point, and may never develop into the techno-prophecies that continue to make the news each day. LLM AI's failures after its introduction over a year and a half ago now, are starting to wake up investors and others who look beyond the hype. A couple of weeks ago Jeffrey Funk and Gary Smith published an article on Market Watch, an investor go-to source owned by the Dow Jones company that includes Barron's and the Wall Street Journal, titled: "Big Tech’s ‘fake-it-till-you-make-it’ hype is now infecting AI". This is still the minority view on Big Tech and AI, to be sure, but that is only because there are still too many Silicon Valley Billionaires and Venture Capital firms with way too much money to spend, and are willing to take a chance on investing in science fiction with the hope and belief that it will some day all come true in the future. Once the money dries up, which may happen a lot sooner than Silicon Valley enthusiasts realize, all this hype will come to an end. Some, however, are not waiting for that crash to come, and are already abandoning AI, realizing that a year and a half has been sufficient time to actually produce something of value in the real world, because what is currently being seen in the real world where AI is being implemented, is not positive, but negative. For these business leaders in the REAL WORLD, there are calls to stand against AI, and be "pro-human." Consumers still have the most power to stop AI and Big Tech, by refusing to use their products. Forget about voting in national elections, and start voting with your dollars instead! This is what the tyrants cannot control, and where the REAL voting power exists. One sector where we are currently seeing pushback against technology is in the grocery self-checkout market, where major grocery retailers like Walmart and Kroger are actually abandoning this technology due to customers not wanting to use it. The tyrants cannot rule over the masses without the consent of the masses. This has ALWAYS been true, because we vastly outnumber them.

America: Behold the Results of Your Faith in AI Technology! The Boeing Example of Failure

The commercial aircraft manufacturer and U.S. Military contractor Boeing is having a turbulent 2024 so far, as it seems like almost every week now we are seeing news about their aircraft malfunctioning and causing harm. Earlier today (May 21, 2024) one of their planes suddenly dropped 7,000 feet in just six minutes without warning, sending everyone in the plane who was not wearing seat belts flying through the air and crashing into the ceiling and overhead bins, where one man died, and others were injured, many of them critically. I have spent hours today researching what I could find about what the media is reporting about all these aviation mishaps by Boeing this year, and what they speculate is causing all these "accidents." But so far I have not found anyone investigating what I have investigated today, and which I am going to report on in this article, and that is the fact that while Boeing has an annual budget of $6.4 billion for developing AI and technology, and that while it has invested in AI technology for over a decade now, not only are their planes NOT becoming safer and more advanced due to this "newer" technology, but they are becoming more dangerous and less advanced than older planes were before the rapid development of all this "AI technology." At the very least, we can say that all of the $BILLIONS spent on AI and technology by Boeing over the past decade plus has not made their planes safer. This calls into question the value of spending so much money on developing AI. We have already seen that the automotive industry has been pulling their funding for AI for "fully autonomous driver-less cars" since 2022 after decades of spending $billions on this with no fully autonomous driver-less cars in the mass market yet. But beyond the waste in spending $billions on technology that is mostly science fiction, is the over-reliance on this technology actually leading to decreased performance and safety that is primarily behind the cause for all these failures for Boeing? THIS is the question that investigators and Government agencies should be asking, but they won't, and they can't.

The New AI Teaches Humanity How to be Better Liars and Will Never Replace Humans

It has been a year and a half now since the first Large Language Model (LLM) AI app was introduced to the public in November of 2022, with the release of Microsoft's ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI. Google, Elon Musk, and many others have also now developed or are in the process of developing their own versions of these AI programs, but after 18 months now, the #1 problem for these LLM AI programs remains the fact that they still lie and make stuff up when asked questions too difficult for them to answer. It is called "hallucination" in the tech world, and while there was great hope when Microsoft introduced the first version of this class of AI back in 2022 that it would soon render accurate results, that accuracy remains illusive, as they continue to "hallucinate." Many are beginning to understand this limitation in LLM AI, and are realizing that there are no real solutions to this problem, because it is an inherent limitation of artificial computer-based "intelligence." A synonym of the word "artificial" is "fake", or "not real." Instead of referring to this kind of computer language as AI, we would probably be more accurate in just calling it FI, Fake Intelligence. But these LLM's don't actually create anything new. They take existing data that has been fed to them, and can now rapidly calculate that data at speeds so fast that it makes the older technology that powers programs like Siri and Alexa seem to be babies who have not yet learned how to talk like adults. But it is still limited to the amount, and the accuracy, of the data it is trained on. It might be able to "create" new language structures by manipulating the data, but it cannot create the data itself. Another way to look at it, would be to observe that what it is doing in the real world is making humans better liars, by not accurately representing the core data. Another serious flaw with the new LLM AI models is that everything they generate from existing data is data that was created by someone and is cataloged on the Internet, which means that whatever is generated by this AI, whether it is accurate or not, is THEFT!

Artificial Intelligence is the New “Danger” the Government Wants to “Protect” You Against

The new "threat" to humanity that the U.S. Government is currently rushing forward to protect us all from, is the alleged threat from "Artificial Intelligence" (AI). The "threat" of AI is generally published through the corporate media as a two-fold threat that requires government regulation: 1. AI could develop superior intelligence and destroy the human race, and 2. AI is going to replace millions of people in the work force. Both premises are false, and by diverting the public's attention to these 2 alleged "threats," they are mostly ignoring (or downplaying) the REAL danger of AI, which is a level of control and censorship that this world has never seen before. The primary strength of the new AI programs is the incredible speed at which data can be retrieved and packaged into a controlled narrative, and therefore the race is now on to determine who controls all this data. Who gets to control all this data and control the narratives based on the data, will be decided by government policy all in the name of "protecting the public" from the "dangers" of AI taking away people's jobs and wiping out humanity. Last week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer unveiled his SAFE Innovation Framework for Artificial Intelligence (AI) which gives us a good idea as to where they want to go with "regulating" AI. And just who will develop these government regulations to "protect the American people and all of humanity from AI's novel risks"? Starting in the fall, Sen. Schumer said he will begin inviting “the best of the best” – top AI developers, community leaders, executives, scientists, advocates, workers, and national security experts – to convene in one room to do “years of work in just months.” So the threat is so large and so imminent, that the people who created this risk, the AI developers themselves, will be the ones who develop the solutions, and what would normally take "years" will only take "months." Hmm..., where have we heard this before? Ah, yes, "Operation Warp Speed" which produced the "solution" to the COVID-19 "virus" that threatened humanity with a new "vaccine" that would normally take "years" to develop but was developed in only "months." This is the "Great Reset."

OpenAI Hit With First Defamation Suit Over ChatGPT “Hallucination” – Exposing the Real Dangers of AI

AI chat programs have become such a huge part of the online culture so quickly, that many people are still fooled by its infancy and limitations, even though the owners of these AI programs have been very clear to warn the public that the text they produce CANNOT be trusted since they often produce false information or even just make stuff up, if the data that is needed to produce a correct response is not available. They refer to this false information as AI "hallucination." Two recent news stories demonstrate just how foolish and dangerous it is to use programs like ChatGPT for real world applications by trusting in the output that ChatGPT provides. Isaiah Poritz of Bloomberg Law reported this week that OpenAI, the company that produces ChatGPT, was hit with its first defamation lawsuit when it allegedly falsely accused a Georgia man of embezzling money. In another recent report, an attorney was actually foolish enough to use ChatGPT to research court cases in an actual lawsuit, and it found bogus lawsuits that did not even exist, and this was filed in a New York court of law! The judge, understandably, was outraged. I came across an excellent article today by Aleksandar Svetski exposing the hype around Chat AI and detailing the real dangers to Chat AI, which he refers to as "The Great Homogenization," where all the data on the Internet is controlled to a single narrative, something that I have been warning about as well. This is a must-read article if you want to fully understand what is going on today with Chat AI, and how to fight back.

Air Force Colonel Caught Lying about Rogue AI Killing Human Operator

During the Plandemic, the Alternative Media was the place to go to find alternatives to the corporate media propaganda about the killer COVID-19 "virus" and the clot shots called "vaccines." The Alternative Media was publishing the truth most of the time by exposing the corporate media lies, and so the corporate media unleashed their "fact checkers" to label anyone in the Alternative Media who did not agree with the official FDA and CDC government narrative as "Fake News." Sadly, today, the Alternative Media is full of "fake news," and much of it is surrounding the fear mongering concerning AI and how they are going to create "transhumans" and replace and eliminate human beings. One such story that was widely published as "news" last week was the story of how a U.S. Air Force Colonel was reporting that the military was training AI computers to carry out attacks against enemies, but then turned on its operator and killed him also, during a simulation. We don't have to rely on people who understand that this particular story is fake news because they understand how the technology actually works and that this would not be possible, because the U.S. military themselves came out and reported that it was fake news, because the simulation never happened. After a statement by the Air Force was made, and after Col. Tucker "Cinco" Hamilton himself admitted publicly that the simulation never actually took place, I went back to several of the Alternative Media sites who published the original story as "news", and not one of them have retracted the story yet, or provided an update to state it was false. So when it comes to "AI" today, most publishers in the Alternative Media, either knowingly or unwittingly, are participating with the Globalists who are doing what they always do, which is promote a climate of fear so that they can then come in and rescue the day with their own solutions. And when it comes to fearing AI and their "annihilation of the human race," that means new Government "regulations" to "control AI," which will include biometric scanning and a World ID in order to participate in the economy, to "prove" that you are "real," and not an AI.

Expectations of an Imminent Big Tech Crash Bringing Down the U.S. Economy is Expanding

While I was among a very small minority in the 4th quarter of 2022 warning the public about the Big Tech crash that was coming and was a threat to bringing down the entire U.S. economy, judging from my newsfeed the past 2 weeks, I no longer think that this view is the minority view anymore. Both the alternative and corporate media are increasingly printing news and opinion pieces about how dangerous it is right now to have just a handful of Big Tech companies holding up the entire stock market, and mostly because of the hype over AI. I am going to highlight much of this news in this article, along with evidence that the banking crisis is actually getting worse, and then go further than most will dare to go, and consider the question: Is this all intentional??

Don’t Tell Chat AI Anything You Wouldn’t Want to See on a Billboard

Chatting with an AI program feels personal and conversational, but don’t be fooled. Here's why you should keep a lid on what you reveal to ChatGPT and its ilk. ChatGPT is a gossip. Google’s Bard, too, and maybe Bing AI. What you get out of them depends on all the information that went in. And that’s precisely the problem. Why? Because everything you ask them, tell them, or prompt them with becomes input for further training. The question you ask today may inform the answer someone gets tomorrow. That’s why you should be very, very careful what you say to an AI.

Google Introduces Plan to Use Generative AI to Take Over the Internet – AI’s Real Threat to Society

Google announced its new plans for AI this week at their annual I/O developer conference, and to say that not everyone in the Tech Industry was thrilled by their plans to integrate Generative AI into their search engine, would be an understatement. Emily Dreibelbis, writing for PC Magazine, published one of the more apocalyptic articles warning that Google could basically destroy most websites on the Internet. Maggie Harrison, writing for Futurism, issued similar warnings for the future of independent journalism due to Google's plan for Generative AI, noting that Google still owns 91% of all Internet searches. This is one of the REAL dangers of AI, the fact that the largest technology companies that control the Internet could very easily drive everyone else out of business and thereby control all the content on the Internet. And in fact, that trend has already started in the technology sector, as year-to-date there have already been 193,860 employees laid off in the technology sector, with many tech businesses failing, as well as some of their top banks also failing, like Silicon Valley Bank, that funded these companies. This investment in the future of AI, is the main thing holding up the U.S. stock market right now. Five technology stocks, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Meta and Amazon, have accounted for 89% of the S&P 500 YTD price return. It is looking more and more every day that we are looking at a total market collapse at some point, and then only the largest banks and the largest technology companies will be left, because they are "too big to fail," especially since the U.S. military and their Intelligence agencies all depend on Big Tech, who hold all their data in their Cloud Computing data centers. This appears to be the goal of the Wall Street billionaires and their bankers, since there is no way they can pay off their debts. Just crash the entire financial system, and choose which Tech companies and banks survive. Then they will have total control of the flow of money as they require digital IDs and work towards a Central Bank Digital Currency, operated by the Big Tech companies that survive, who will also control the flow of information through AI. Will enough Americans wake up soon enough to prevent this from happening, or will it take a total collapse of the economy to reveal what is really happening with this "Great Reset"?

Humans are Indispensable – Why AI will Never Replace Humans

Are you going to be replaced by a machine? Could a robot really be curious? Or experience love? Could a computer plot evil? Some really smart people think machines will achieve not just human but super human consciousness. Oxford professor of mathematics John Lennox and Baylor University computer engineer Robert J. Marks disagree. Non-algorithmic properties are solely attributes of humans. Computers will never show the creativity, empathy, or love that human beings do.

How AI Will Replace Humans Like The Wizard of Oz and Save the Economy

As long as we mint millions from a Never-Ending Bull Market, we'll always stay one step ahead of the Debt Monster. AI! . Of the many astounding developments of the current era (AI!), none is more remarkable than the proliferation of soothsayers peering into crystal balls to predict The Most Important Trend In The Universe--a Bull or Bear stock market. The computing power and wealth thrown at conjuring up charts, statistics and forecasts is astounding in and of itself, but the proliferation of crystal balls and soothsayers is even more astounding. After reviewing hundreds of charts, statistics and forecasts on the most arcane correlations and the deepest data-dives (AI!), I've reached soothsayer satori: the secret to insuring a Never-Ending Bull Market in which monumental wealth will be piled up by all those entities (software and wetware alike--AI!) who buy every tiny dip and continuously roll over their zero-expiration-day-call-options is this: Say "AI" 300 times with fervent enthusiasm and then click your heels three times. You will then be transported to a magical paradise where stocks only go down for a few moments to enable dip-buyers the immense satisfaction of buying more stocks at a discount.

Is Congress Really More Concerned About AI Launching a Nuclear Attack than an 80-Year-Old Demented President?

A bipartisan group of U.S. Senators have introduced the "Block Nuclear Launch by Autonomous AI Act," which would “prohibit the use of Federal funds to launch a nuclear weapon using an autonomous weapons system that is not subject to meaningful human control.” This is so absurd, that I don't know if members of Congress are actually this stupid, or if this is a psyop to instill fear into the public over AI, similar to how fear was used to convince most of the public that there was a deadly coronavirus that threatened humanity back in 2020. Let's start with the fact that there is no such thing as "autonomous AI." It is fake, it does not exist. Some believe it could happen in the future, but even that is based on either ignorance or intentional fear mongering to get people to fear AI. But no matter what your beliefs are about AI's capability in the future, nobody in the Tech industry today working with AI would say that AI is now "fully autonomous." We haven't even been able to develop a "fully autonomous" car yet after almost 20 years, let alone something that could launch a nuclear attack. So this is a meaningless bill. It would be the same thing as filing a bill to "Block Autonomous Handguns from Killing People." But guns are not autonomous. They need people to wield them, and the same is true of AI or any computer code for that matter. The real threat today to launch a nuclear attack, lies with the President of the United States, who "has the unilateral authority to choose to use nuclear weapons." However, there are ways that "Congress can limit when and how the president uses nuclear weapons." Wouldn't that be a better use of Congress right now, given the ongoing real threats in Ukraine and Taiwan that could escalate into nuclear confrontations, and the fact that the U.S. has an 80-year-old president who continually shows signs of deteriorating mental capabilities?

The “Godfather of AI” Says Doomsayers Are Wrong and ChatGPT Isn’t Remarkable – Mainly an Advanced Disinformation Tool

The hype over AI Chat searches as well as the "AI is going to take over the world and replace humans" is continuing unabated, and investments into AI are now the only thing left propping up the U.S. economy. I suppose this is the result of having a generation of adults who have now grown up in the "computer age" starting in the early 1980s who are now running the economy with their beliefs in AI and technology. Old school technologists like myself, who watched all of this technology develop, and know better, are having little to no effect in trying to dispel these false beliefs. I have earned my living and built my career on this technology for over 25 years now, but that doesn't seem to matter with this generation. My views on the hype over this "new" AI fad are not unique at all, as many others also share them, but it is much more interesting to state that AI is going to take over the world and replace humans, and that is the view that gets clicks and traffic today, which can obviously be monetized as well. Therefore, the "AI is going to take over the world" view is the predominant view, not because it is true, but because it is more popular and sells more. So I am going to highlight some of the other dissenting voices in this article, and then I am going to show what this "new" AI Chat software is actually doing today, as it has been out in the public for about 5 months now. But if you want the spoiler as to what it is actually doing today with hundreds of millions of users, here it is: It is a disinformation and data collection tool.

Unlike the U.S., China Issues Warning about Dangerous ChatGPT AI Financial Bubble

As someone who grew up with modern computer technology and at one time earned my living from it, and as someone who not only lived through the dot.com financial collapse but has also owned an ecommerce business for over 21 years and has survived multiple economic downturns, it has been plainly obvious to me that the current financial frenzy over chat AI hype is one of the largest developing financial bubbles being blown up with no real model of generating revenue at this time. And yet, hardly any other financial analyst has come out to expose this very dangerous financial bubble that could burst at any time, and potentially sink the entire economy, until today. But that financial analysis over the current spending frenzy regarding AI did not come from any financial analysts in the U.S., but by the Chinese Government. China is the world's second largest investor in technology start-ups by venture capitalists, with only the U.S. spending more. The Chinese government might be regulating the AI industry to prevent a financial crash over this wild speculation in the Tech sector over OpenAI, based on an opinion piece published earlier today in a Chinese financial publication. Chinese shares related to artificial intelligence plunged after a state media outlet urged authorities to step up supervision of potential speculation. The ChatGPT concept sector has “signs of a valuation bubble,” with many companies having made little progress in developing the technology, the Economic Daily wrote in a commentary Monday: "Regulators should strengthen monitoring and crackdown on share-price manipulation and speculation to create “a well-disclosed and well-run market,” according to the newspaper, which runs a website officially recognized by Beijing. Companies, it said, should develop the capabilities they propose, while investors should refrain from speculating." Of course, the U.S. is also threatening regulation over the Tech sector, including TikTok, which currently provides $billions to the U.S. economy. The other huge concerns regarding the feeding frenzy over new AI technology, as I reported in a recent article, is that there are legal issues regarding privacy and copyright issues that could severely curtail using the new OpenAI technology, if not outlaw it altogether.

WARNING: Faith in Artificial Intelligence is About to Destroy America – A Total System Collapse May be Imminent

As we now enter the first week of the second quarter here in 2023, the United States stands on the brink of a total financial collapse. There are many ways to view the current economic crisis we all face, and the economic factors that have brought us to this point today, such as the steps that were taken in 2008 during the last economic crisis which never solved the problem, but only kicked the can down the road until the crisis grew bigger, or the role that COVID policies played starting in 2020, or the myriad of other factors that have led us to the place where we all stand today. But the view that I choose to write about and explain, since so few others are writing about it, is the Big Tech collapse that began in 2022, with the blowup of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange, and the massive layoffs that began in the world's largest technology companies. While it is hard to put a number on the total financial loss in the U.S. economy due to the FTX collapse, over $30 billion alone was lost just due to bankruptcies of some of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges. And that does not include the two largest cryptocurrency exchanges, Binance and Coinbase, which today are in serious trouble and could also be facing failures and potential bankruptcy. This crisis spread to the banking industry at the end of the first quarter this year, with banks heavily invested in the cryptocurrency market experiencing bank runs and collapse, including Silicon Valley Bank, which at the time was the 15th largest bank in the U.S. And more banks face failure today, as the bank runs have not stopped. But the markets haven't crashed yet, partially because there is so much money in the system that the Fed has created since 2020. And not only has the U.S. stock market not crashed yet, the one sector that one logically would conclude is in the middle of massive correction, the technology sector, which investors should avoid like the plague, is the one sector that is actually increasing, even since the bank failures. This sector, represented mostly on the NASDAQ, is holding up the entire financial system right now (at least as of the end of the last week in March), and I am not the only one questioning the logic of seeing Big Tech as a "safe haven" to park money into today. So if Wall Street financial analysts are warning that Tech stocks are NOT a safe haven to put money into today, what is causing this faith in technology to continue drawing investors, which appears to be the only thing holding up the economy right now and stopping a complete financial collapse? We don't need to look far to see what is causing the latest feeding frenzy in technology these days, as it is in all of our news feeds on a daily basis: Artificial Intelligence Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT. LLM based Artificial Intelligence is believed to be a market that will grow to over $1.59 trillion by 2030. However, as in all other technology financial bubbles in the past, all of this money is being bet (not "invested") on the future, not the present, because all we have today are prototype models that don't even work correctly. In spite of all the hype you are reading on a daily basis regarding the latest "AI technology" with these chat bots, they are not actually producing any revenue yet. They are simply sucking up much of the remaining capital in the U.S. market. And now, the chat AI products are in position to be perhaps the biggest financial bubble of all time, and when it bursts, which could be tomorrow, next week, next month, or perhaps not until the end of 2023 or first quarter of 2024, it most definitely could bring down the entire financial system in the United States.

Creativity and the Human Difference – Why AI Can Never Replace Humans

From the late Stephen Hawking to Elon Musk, some of the smartest people on Earth have issued warnings about the looming danger posed by artificial intelligence. Not only is AI an amazing technology, they say, with the potential for uses both good and bad, but it threatens to replace and destroy humanity. The media love this particular concept and continually seek to scare us with it. Why? The episode calls out the idea for what it is: applied materialism. Materialism is the denial of a spiritual reality. It animates Darwinian thinking, and it drives the panic about AI. After all, if humans are no more than “meat machines,” then a superior machine, equipped with AI, could well choose to do away with us. However, as four notable scholars explain here, AI runs on algorithms, which are essentially a recipe. AI does only what it’s programmed to do. Humans transcend algorithms. We do things that computers will never be able to accomplish.

Bill Gates Wants to use Artificial Intelligence to Combat Conspiracy Theories

That Borg-like greeting could be coming soon to the internet in the form of new AI overlords. In a recent chilling interview, Microsoft founder and billionaire Bill Gates called for the use of artificial intelligence to combat not just “digital misinformation” but “political polarization.” He is only the latest to call for the use of either AI or algorithms to shape what people say or read on the internet. The danger of such a system is evident where free speech, like resistance, could become futile. In an interview on a German program, “Handelsblatt Disrupt,” Gates calls for unleashing AI to stop certain views from being “magnified by digital channels.” The problem is that we allow “various conspiracy theories like QAnon or whatever to be blasted out by people who wanted to believe those things.” This is not the first call for AI overlords to protect us from ourselves. Last September, Gates gave the keynote address at the Forbes 400 Summit on Philanthropy. He told his fellow billionaires that “polarization and lack of trust is a problem.”

After Losing $150 BILLION on Chat AI Botched Launch, Google Search Head Explains Their AI Suffers “Hallucination” Giving “Convincing but Completely Made-up Answers”

Worried that their competitor, Microsoft, was pulling ahead in the new excitement over ChatGPT AI search results, Google announced this week that they were launching their AI powered search, BARD, and posted a demo on Twitter. Amazingly, Google failed to fact-check the information BARD was giving to the public, and it wasn't long before others figured out that it was giving false information. Google's stocks lost 7.7% of their valuation that day, and then another 4% the next day, for a total loss of over $150 BILLION. Yesterday (Friday, February 10, 2022), Prabhakar Raghavan, senior vice president at Google and head of Google Search, told Germany's Welt am Sonntag newspaper: "This kind of artificial intelligence we're talking about right now can sometimes lead to something we call hallucination. This then expresses itself in such a way that a machine provides a convincing but completely made-up answer," Raghavan said in comments published in German. One of the fundamental tasks, he added, was keeping this to a minimum. This tendency to be prone to "hallucination" does not appear to be unique to Google's AI and chat bot. OpenAI, the company that has developed ChatGPT which Microsoft is investing heavily in, also warns that their AI may also deliver "plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers." So since these new AI chat bots are so unreliable and so easily hacked, why are investors and Big Tech companies like Google and Microsoft throwing $BILLIONS into them? Because people are using them, probably hundreds of millions of people. That's the metric that always drives investment in new Big Tech products that are often nothing more than fads and gimmicks. But if a lot of people are using these products, there is money to be made, and yet another way to track and control people.

What ChatGPT and DeepMind Tell Us about AI

The world is agog at the apparent power of ChatGPT and similar programs to compose human-level narratives and generate images from simple commands. Many are succumbing to the temptation to extrapolate these powers to near-infinity, i.e. the Singularity in which AI reaches super-intelligence Nirvana. All the excitement is fun but it's more sensible to start by placing ChatGPT in the context of AI history and our socio-economic system.
