The Dogs of AI

There are two primary threats to the US, neither of which are Iran. One is immigration, legal or illegal. The other is Artificial Intelligence (AI). Both of these threaten the world, but my concern is primarily with the US. Iran, for its part, is also a threat, but much further down the list than either of these two.

The re-election of Donald Trump did not solve the immigration issue, it merely shifted it from those who do it illegally to those who have tacit legal status. The idea that we (Western nations) need some foreign workers to make our system function is attributable to abortion. In effect, we have killed our own children by the millions and replaced them with Third World invaders. This is true throughout the Western world.

The thing the Western world could do without is the importation of benefit seekers which will result in the collapse of all welfare systems. While I don’t agree with welfare except in the most extreme cases and then only for a short period of time, I do recognize the need for some sort of aid to those left destitute, but it should always come with some form of work requirement or training. It is not a place for generations of people to reside.

I disagree with welfare for some very principled reasons. One is that welfare is not charity when it comes from the forceable extraction of funds, that’s robbery. Another is that the government should not be involved in it at all. I have nothing against and actually prefer that those funds come from people who willingly donate to the cause. I would be a much more devoted patron of charity, were the funds to do so not largely already confiscated from my paycheck and there was some moral component to it, one where the recipient felt some obligation to those supplying the funds.

The Christian act of charity is exactly that, the product of one’s labor gladly offered to help others who are in financial crisis. Anonymously. Government welfare, on the other hand, violates all of the Christian ethics. Jesus said: “If you would be perfect, give away all of your worldly goods and follow me.” He did not say: “If you would gloat in your beneficence, take someone else’s worldly goods and give them to fraudsters.”

This correlates to immigration, because what we have done, by allowing the government to disburse confiscated funds is, we have murdered generations upon generations of babies, failed to solve our own poverty issues and imported millions of welfare recipients from the world’s poor. That many of those have come here, not only to wreck our economic system, but also to wage violent war against our people, is the result of government welfare.

Artificial intelligence is on an equal plane with immigration as a threat. It might be more pressing in the sense that it is just now building the infrastructure to do great harm in every aspect of life. What is sold as a benefit to efficiency and workflow, is designed to hybridize or eliminate humanity. There is no attempt to hide it, but to phrase it in beneficial ways to make the victims accepting of their fate.

At best, AI is the largest boondoggle ever to exist. I don’t think it will work. I don’t think we have the capacity to make it work beyond a few irrelevant models of making better writers of the incompetent and pretty pictures no one painted.

What makes movies and images appealing is that humans did it, went someplace that looked like that, figured out a way to physically get that shot. The wonder of it all comes from the idea that these places exist somewhere and that one might be able to go there and view it for themselves, to wonder at the creation of it by whatever geological and botanical influences produced it. To look at a beautiful picture conjured up out of a collage of digital impressions leaves out the most important part, the reality of its existence. If it does not exist, it loses its ability to inspire awe. It’s a cartoon.

The grander plan for AI is that it will make humanity irrelevant. That’s the message they always gloss over. They project the idyllic existence of machines doing all of the heavy lifting while humans sit back and enjoy their fruity alcoholic beverages. The intent, is that one would have no other choice.

The building of data centers and AI is the process of building the digital prison. All of the governments and investors are hyped by the short-term increase in employment and property values. But when the infrastructure is complete, it will run on almost no human labor. Housing will not be unaffordable, it will be financially impossible.

The whole concept is flawed from the very roots. Should they be able to produce what they envision, there will be millions of hybridized beings with digital brains that will build what? Great cities where no one works, that provide free transportation to people who have nowhere to go and nothing to do, who don’t need food or water? They pretend that the digitized brain will inspire these hybrids to do things, but what?

The advancement of humanity relies on humanity. One must solve the problem of hunger, so they work, build more efficient machines to more efficiently farm smaller plots to feed more than themselves. That helps the factory workers who need food in excess of what they could, if they had time and land, grow themselves. The factory workers, though, build the machines that make the farmer more efficient.

Remove those needs from humanity and what is it that these hybrids will do? Nothing. They will not need and will not invent. They will not sleep and will need no home. They will not need food, so they will not farm. They will not have the ability to appreciate nature or art, so they will not be inspired and they will not create.

It’s the transition that is the threat. Humanity is the flesh that will be fed to the dogs of AI. It’s now that we must put up the resistance to the elimination of humanity. If it would be moral to go back in time and smother Hitler or Stalin in the crib, why is it not moral to smother AI in the crib?
