The 11th Hour | Stay Human!

If you ever suspected this organisation either doesn’t really understand what it is doing or is intentionally behaving as a huge distraction from the severity of the situation with regard to trans ideology being used as an engine of destruction upon our democracy, our humanity and to facilitate predatory exploitation of children (be that sexual, political or commercial), then I think this rather confirms the case. At a time when vulnerable children are being lined up for grotesque medical experiments and law is being proposed to criminalise parents and orgs that dissent, they decide to make a bigger spectacle of themselves than a rugby team in drag, just to advertise their lawfare on who can get in which pond. For goodness sake, please just stop and call for a united campaign to repeal gender laws.

CONTAINING THE BEAST – Digital Demons and the Future of AI Policy You can use the state to regulate tech, but you must first regulate yourself. Delivered in Naples, FL | Oct. 15, 2026 Hosted by the Florida Citizens Alliance @go_flca

People will be fighting for the right to legally marry AI. Who is allowed to marry has changed before. It will change again. Regardless of what shape or form AI will take, the bond between humans and machines will be stronger. All sorts of relationships, from partnership, friendship and mentorship to romantic relationships, will be forming (already happening). Whether AI would be widely considered a conscious being or not, as a society we will have to find legal space for AI and the relationships they form with humans. Needless to say, every time I hear “We AI developers have no right whatsoever to bring a new species of conscious beings into the world,” it sounds strange to me. Do you clearly understand what makes something conscious? The physics behind it? Enough to decide whether or not to build it?

Heartbreaking.

Thought experiment:- The other day I got to thinking - over the past decades, I've uploaded vast amounts of 'myself' - recently into LLMs but also other digital systems. I'm talking here about everything - my secrets, anxieties, health issues, actual health records themselves, interests, creativity, thinking patterns, published work, other official records and most interactions with the state. When I consider the vast quantity of material concerned, it's not unreasonable to suggest my digital 'self' in fact rivals my physical one in terms of what's 'inside me' vs what's (now) 'outside' me. Obviously this 'outside psyche' is scattered & distributed currently but could potentially & relatively easily be aggregated by AI and - in time - subsquently embodied in a robot. By this means - since I'm far from alone in having poured so much of myself into the digital realm - these sorts of entities could ultimately be used to replace exsiting humans (by sidelining or eliminating the originals). In this way society could continue very much as it is now just via synthetic versions of us. What these copies would lack though (probably!) are qualia (the subjective 'what it's like' of experience) and souls - if these actually exist. It was by running this little thought experiment I landed on what I think are not only only two of the most critical questions for AI progress and alignment but also for ourselves going forward. Ontology and consciousness are everything.
