The facelessness of modern war…

“In Desert Storm, battalion, brigade, and division commanders had to rely on maps, grease pencils, and radio reports to track the movements of our forces.

Today, our commanders have a real-time display of our armed forces on their COMPUTER screen.”

— Vice President Dick Cheney, Member of the CFR & Bohemian Club

Warfare as we know it has changed.

No longer is it the struggle between man and man, but man and machine.

In the thoroughly blood-soaked annals of modern warfare, technological prowess has fully converged with strategic doctrine. A stark reality now faces us: the advent of drone warfare and AI weaponry, heralding a new era of war — one where the tenuous boundaries of accountability are about to be erased. At the heart of this evolution lies the insidious rise of autonomous weapon systems, where algorithms replace human judgment and the very essence of what a soldier is stands to be redefined. This sadistic stratagem is a present reality in Gaza, one veiled under the guise of progress, for today’s technologies herald a coming age of bloodshed on a heretofore unprecedented scale.

Could AI Start Nuclear War?

Authored by James Rickards via DailyReckoning.com,

I’ve covered a wide variety of potential crises over the years.

These include natural disasters, pandemics, social unrest and financial collapse. That’s a daunting list.

One thing I haven’t done is to cover the greatest potential calamity of all — nuclear war. For the reasons explained below, now is the time to consider it.

Nuclear warfighting is back in the air. The subject is receiving more attention today than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 and its aftermath. There are three reasons for this.

The first is American accusations that Russia would escalate to use nuclear weapons as it grew more desperate in its conduct of the war in Ukraine. These accusations were always false and are risible now that Russia is clearly winning the war with conventional arms.

Still, the threats and counter-threats were enough to put the topic in play.

The second reason is the war between Israel and Hamas. Again, escalation is the concern. One not implausible scenario has Hezbollah in southern Lebanon opening a second front on Israel’s northern border with intensive missile bombardment.

US Special Operations Command Will Deploy Argus AI Program to Scour Social Media for Disinformation, Misinformation and Malinformation, National Security Authority to Protect U.S. Internet from “Pain Points”

Guest Post by Sundance

Annnd… Here we go.  If you have not read the background {Go Deep}, you will not have the appropriate context to absorb the latest revelation about how the Dept of Defense will now conduct online monitoring operations, using enhanced AI to protect the U.S. internet from “disinformation” under the auspices of national security.

Gee, who would have predicted that U.S. internet operations would suddenly have a totally new set of enhanced AI guardians at the gateways? 👀

Read Carefully – Eyes Wide Open:

The US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has contracted New York-based Accrete AI to deploy software that detects “real time” disinformation threats on social media.

Blinded by the Next Great Thing

Guest Post by Todd Hayen

I must be missing a chip in my brain or something. Why have I never been blown away by the advances in technology that attempt to replace humans? I mean, I am fascinated by the next great robot vacuum cleaner, or a car that will pick you up after you’ve had your fine cricket dinner at the Four Seasons, but my fascination dissipates quickly.

Cell phones, computers, and crap like that are interesting….but when I hear about AI art, robots, or synthesized orchestras, my blood runs cold.

This seems to have always been true for me, even back in 1961 when the IBM 7094 sang “Daisy” in its eerie electronic voice, I wasn’t too pleased—and I was six years old! (Although I didn’t read about it until I was about 11.)

NOW THAT’S A CONSPIRACY

Submitted by Hardscrabble Farmer

I found this today in some obscure little corner of the Interweb and thought, now that’s a conspiracy. It ties together a lot of disparate phenomena into a logical construction, even if it is poorly written. I love how the human mind works. Or AI’s, if you believe that sort of thing.

What IF…AI is behind Covid, Wokeness, WWIII threats, Carbon, Food Supply Attacks, and All Other forms of HUMAN Depopulation Agenda.

It is NOT the nature of an average specimen in the human species or nearly all species of life on earth to eliminate itself or reduce its reproductive capability.

Our very core and base NEED is to reproduce, expand, protect, and survive- not the opposites.

Yet we are seemingly being taken over by a small insane portion of the human population with calls for “transhumanism” and the “Singularity” through TECHNOLOGY centered around quantum AI.

Doug Casey on How Artificial Intelligence Will Radically Transform the World

by Doug Casey

Artificial Intelligence

International Man: Amazing new technologies—once the realm of science fiction—are now an imminent reality.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most critical areas where this is happening.

What is your take on AI advancements, and how do you see it evolving in the future?

Doug Casey: AI is going to be huge. No, strike that gross understatement—it’s already huge. It will change everything. There’s no question the abilities of technology are increasing exponentially, at the rate of Moore’s Law. In other words, computing power is still doubling roughly every 18 to 24 months while the cost halves. This is also true in the areas of biotech, nanotech, robotics, 3D printing, and genetic engineering. These technologies are going to fundamentally transform the very nature of life itself. AI will accelerate their progress by an order of magnitude. Continue reading “Doug Casey on How Artificial Intelligence Will Radically Transform the World”

AI Surveillance Defiant Clothing

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Fashion trends change to reflect new societal norms and self-expression. Today’s societal norm is constant government spying and mass data collection under the premise that we are all criminals who may defy our failing governments. One may first think of China and its vast array of CCTV cameras that are analyzed by Artificial Intelligence software to compile individual behavioral data that can be used to control the population. “Whoever owns enough data and computing ability can predict problems, predict the future, and judge the future,” Alibaba’s Jack Ma was quoted as saying. As the desire for privacy becomes a cultural norm across the West, fashion designers are finding a way to produce clothing that fulfills this need.

Google Engineer Claims AI Computer Has Become Sentient

Via Mercola

Story at-a-glance

  • According to Google engineer Blake Lemoine, an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot application called LaMDA, short for Language Model for Dialogue Applications, has achieved sentience, or independent self-aware consciousness
  • Google vice president Blaise Aguera y Arcas and Jen Gennai, head of Responsible Innovation, have dismissed Lemoine’s claims and placed him on paid administrative leave for breach of confidentiality
  • In a January 2022 paper, Google warned that a chatbot AI’s ability to impersonate a human being could be problematic if people don’t realize it’s not a real human. For example, someone with nefarious intent could use chatbots to “sow misinformation” by impersonating “specific individuals’ conversational style”
  • Believing AI can achieve sentience is also dangerous as it can lead people to think we can delegate problems to a machine and abdicate responsibility for important decisions
  • The fact that Google controls some of the best, most advanced AI in the world augments all the risks associated with the anthromorphication of machines. For example, it’s now glaringly obvious that Google is intentionally engaged in social engineering and censorship to further an anti-human agenda

According to Google engineer Blake Lemoine, a Google artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot application called LaMDA, short for Language Model for Dialogue Applications, has achieved sentience, or independent self aware consciousness.1

AI & the Future

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Klaus Schwab’s view of the future and Artificial Intelligence is seriously flawed. He argues that the fusing of the political, physical, digital, and biological worlds will have a transformative impact on every facet of human existence. He insists that this will range from the way we live our lives, the manner in which we will work, the reconfiguration of economic models, the products we sell, and I believe his self-delusion, the power to extend our lives indefinitely. Of course, his cohort, Yuval Noah Harari, dreams of converting society into programmed robots. Meanwhile, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla dreams of putting chips in every pill that confirms to a central database that you took his latest creation.

You’ve Been Flagged as a Threat: Predictive AI Technology Puts a Target on Your Back

Via The Rutherford Institute

“The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem and very often makes the problem worse.”—Milton Friedman

You’ve been flagged as a threat.

Before long, every household in America will be similarly flagged and assigned a threat score.

Without having ever knowingly committed a crime or been convicted of one, you and your fellow citizens have likely been assessed for behaviors the government might consider devious, dangerous or concerning; assigned a threat score based on your associations, activities and viewpoints; and catalogued in a government database according to how you should be approached by police and other government agencies based on your particular threat level.

If you’re not unnerved over the ramifications of how such a program could be used and abused, keep reading.

The Reality Of AI

Guest Post by The Zman

Every day, we are told the artificial intelligence is not a science fiction fantasy, but a reality of modern life. Crimes are solved using AI and the military is supposedly using it to fight the forever wars. Microsoft regularly runs ads explaining that thanks to AI, the modern world will run just fine without white people. IBM goes further, claiming their artificial intelligence robots are already running large swaths of the world. The robot revolution is here and humans are being replaced with machines.
