Fire Over Light

The problem with #AI marketing is they tend to use cliche calls to action that are #FOMO driven, they are general and don't speak in language for the target demographic, and they'll create exhaustion with their same-ish emotional triggers quickly; I.E diminishing returns.

The single most important thing #blockchain didn't deliver was self-sovereign identity, I've peered behind the curtain of the next-generation of #AI, and an adopted #SSID should have been the foundation. But here we are, #clowncoins and #boredapes.

A few days ago, I mentioned that I expected to see a ChatGPT version of Religious Texts, an artificial scholar, it's here: tensor.church/ Not yet played with a great deal, but this was inevitable. #AI @FireOverLight

If there is any sector to invest in now in developing countries is education. When the Internet first came out, it had greater potential than we see now, there was some wisdom in those early days to protect it -- but I also personally know engineers who developed part of its protocol and infrastructure who said, 'if they knew what they know now, would have done things differently". We are being herded toward a multi-polar world, and at the same time we will see increased domestic production, this will be exacerbated by climate change which will provoke more violence. Technological advantages, such as chips and #AI will be protectively shrouded; indicators to that end are already here with the U.S. pushing to maintain technical superiority for the military. This period of openness and enthusiasm we have for #OpenAI will be followed by closure, corporate dominance, and exploitation, the same issues with saw with Facebook and genocide will be repeated. Realistically, #AI generated material and copyright will likely be bad, if it can be copyrighted (movements toward that have happened). That means advancements won't be open. If countries don't adapt in the next few years, there won't be a possibility of skip generations and catch-up. This is where issues such as education in #Afghanistan are hugely alarming, the combination of pressures will block-potential for economic advancement. With increased domestic production, the potential to pull minerals from seawater will reduce the demand for things like lithium; essentially scarce minerals will have less value. If the West cracks fusion, and has free energy, then bring in robotics, production costs go down and import dependency drops. The likelihood of developing countries particularly if they form a counter-block to the West establishing fusion generate power is low, or at least in a similar time frame. #COVID showed the world the vulnerability in supply chains, in climate change or conflict, like with #Ukraine, we saw it again - expand that out. #NationalSecurity going forward requires an increase in the capacity of independent production.

The idea that we have observer-created reality can't be tied to consciousness because for example, a camera aboard a satellite that sees something we can't is itself not conscious. It is collecting light or other measurements (radio) from a distant object. #physics #reality #consciousness

It's not perfect, and not necessarily believable as a Nirvana song, but it's not terrible. #AI writes new Nirvana song. consequenceofsound.net/2021/…

That's a good point, the 'apps' get access to more functions in your phone, the 'mobile web-browser' much less so, and the interfaces for web-based try to emulate the app. It's a smart move for the privacy aware.

This is dangerous and will become more prolific and will appear more and more in the 'so-called' developed nations.

1. I am preparing to restart writing @fireoverlight. The original premise written back in 2016 was that a virus was used to separate the wealthy / not-wealthy in the future. With C19, it's become immediately relevant but not a story I want to tell.
