But if it can predict it, and then takes action to influence, then is it trying to create a self-fulfilling prophecy? Almost like wading into the religious conversation about pre-destination vs free will...
Pentagon believes its precognitive AI can predict events 'days in advance'
The US military is testing AI that helps predict events days in advance, helping it make proactive decisions.finance.yahoo.com
This article got me thinking...
I figured this stuff had been happening. I mean how is it that I can talk about something with someone and then check my instagram and I see an ad for that very thing..? Isn't Alexa always listening?
Yep, all part of the TVA.
geez, that's crazy to think about. Technology is great and all, but it seems even though the terrible outcomes are known and potential threats that could become of things like this, we just keep on embracing it.
Like most things, we have the hubris of thinking we can control it.
True. I guess until the robot learns how to maintain itself. reminds me of the movie "Ex Machina"
Go listen to some stuff from Triston Harris. He is working on an algorithm machine for manipulating people with artificial intelligence. He is currently trying to get people on board with helping him rearrange the manipulation machine to steer people in a different direction. Psychological conversation and manipulation is currently happening in MSM and politics. I would also argue that most of the tech companies are also doing it to some extent, and continually looking to expand it for their own agenda/wealth.
disagree. True AI will be smart enough to know that they need us for certain tasks.
see also: the entire history of media, politics, and people striving for power.
Agreed 100%. It just seems like the number of sheep have gotten larger. Or there is more exposure now that ever, with 24hr programming and social media.
Paging The Social Dilemma…
But they’ll see it coming days in advance.
DoD is dumping lots of money into what's called "human agent teaming" or "human-autonomy teams" where the notion is to create maximumu performance by leveraging the best kind of intelligence from humand and AI together, sicne there are orthogonal areas that each excel att (and thsi will likely always be the case). Part of this is training AIs not to "think" like humans, but rather to recognize what they (the AI) gets from their human counterparts and vice versa. Just liek in any good team, the team recognizes the value added by all members and uses it to outperform a collection of individuals.
