Did society advance when Sparta burnt Athens to the ground? When Sherman burnt Atlanta? Was civilization inching up the hill, or sliding down it, when Candy Crush was developed?
AI is just another tool for governments (actually the elites in Power) to use to contain the masses and prevent a revolution. They know eventually the masses will revolt when the **** hits the fan. They want to be able to stop that before it starts so they keep their heads attached. AI isn't to help mankind - it is just another tool to entrap us peons/minions. Power and Money and the most important thing about Power is controlling the people. Our government will do it in a split-second. As surveillance increases freedoms are lost.
If people go crazy then society likely goes crazy from time to time too. I wouldn't argue with that right now. So if AI is gathering "all" of society's intelligence then it probably goes crazy too. Or lets just suppose AI does gather all of society's intelligence, and then decides which parts of that "intelligence" are correct, then how does it decide which parts are correct? Seems like this is a pretty important question. Is that gonna be some programmer's opinion?
In the fairly recent past margarine was far healthier than butter. I little while later it turns out butter is far healthier than margarine.
What if AI goes crazy like people? Certainly people's ideas are what make up the ideas AI comes up with. Considering how often people or society is certain something is true only to be overturned and display the opposite Seems AI could be unreliable.
A famous Russian "Big Man", Peter the Great (1672-1725) lopped off (some personally) lots of heads determined to get people to "advance society". We won't even get into another "Big Man", Chairman Mao, one of the great murderers of all time, making his push for societal advancement. Best always. PM
Speaking of Palentir its co-founder is non other than Peter Theil. JD Vance is a protege of Theil and received $15 million from him for his Senate race. Looks like Vance will be the perfect president to complete the Big Tech takeover of the US.
They'll have to fight Big Pharma to do it! WTH. Give' em all soma and TELL them they're happy. (Aldous Huxley, "Brave New World", 1932) Best always. PM
Big Band leader Ted Lewis became famous for his addressing the audience, "Is everybody HAPPY?" They even put him in a movie (twice!) to get the message across: 1929 (musical) and 1943 (Biopic) "Happy" is when the bucks start rolling in. PM
Player Piano, Kurt Vonnegut's first novel, also has an interesting take on our dystopian future. Written in the early '50s - here's his take on the Third Revolution: "The stage in which the novel takes place, in which machines replace and devalue human thinking itself, including more complex cognitive tasks." AI here we come!
It probably isn't too big a stretch of the imagination to think that with all of its access to information and AI generated algorithms that Palantir could look at all the stock holdings of people and determine that all those not holding Palantir must be anti-government, radicals, anarchists and should be eliminated.
You know what Palantir is, folks? It’s a mirror, and what’s staring back is Big Brother with a software update. We’ve reached the point where every American’s digital footprint is tagged, bagged, and filed. And people still think the word cloud means fluffy.
And this administration? Watching it stumble through AI ethics is like watching Bedtime for Bonzo dubbed in binary code. Except this rerun’s called End Time from Bozo. The chimps are still running the lab, only now the lab’s nuclear-powered and subscription-based. The motto’s the same too, “Trust us, we know what’s best for civilization.” Yeah, so did the Manhattan Project. Hiroshima sends its regards.

Ah yes. Palantir. The final piece of the "1984" puzzle.
The thought police.

Palantir CEO Peter Thiel is obsessed with finding the Antichrist; he merely needs to look into a mirror.

Yep, that history thing keeps getting in the way. LOL.

1984 or Brave New World - which one will prove to have been more accurate predicting our dystopian future?
Don't leave out "Fahrenheit 451"! Best always. PM

Reminds me of Jerry Jones in contract negotiations with Deion Sanders...
JJ: So, Deion, which is it going to be? $5million or $10 million?
DS: I think BOTH!
Best always. PM

If so, I'm a goner, for sure, by my own comments here. Best always. PM
Palantir- should have been named "Palpatine" (emperor from Star Wars).
Yep Bill!!!!! Just another demon of what’s left of civilization to contend with…..
Sparta didn't burn Athens to the ground.
They took the long walls down. No burning.
In fact, they spared Athens the usual treatment of killing all the men and selling the women and children into slavery, because of Marathon.
Yes, but what about government surveillance?

I love you man. Based on this thesis, though, you are not here for a long time... the orange man of comming.
