Just wanted to say Hello & Welcome new followers 👋🙂 I'm not much of a frequent poster. Topics post about: * Covid/Pandemic * Thoughts: AI risk, philosophy, psychology, sociology * a poem, sometimes Mostly in 1. 🇬🇧 2. 🇸🇪 3. 🇪🇸

@DeSchuut @vitrupo I think there is a consensus of not losing control to an amoral (or even if on the surface seemingly moral entity) if it means ceding control to something that builds its own capabilities and power. All the same I appreciate your clarification.

@dynesius_ @vitrupo In Harari’s view, AI improving on its own isn't a sign of progress, but a loss of control. AI is an agent (not just a tool) that lacks a moral compass. Our lack of consensus will hinder us to stop it. So, how to instill the moral compass?

Yuval Noah Harari says AI is the new Tower of Babel. But this time, it keeps rising.

@1goodtern Sounds like he and usa is embracing the idea of a modern 'holy war' - crusade. "It's good if we are the ones doing it"

This is abhorrent to me.

@noren_elisabeth @jorgenponder @PellervoHannula Visst, och mycket onödigt lidande som skapas. Sen även ur rättighetsprincip - man väl rätt att få höra sanningen från myndigheterna gällande forskningsläget. Vad annars är anledningen till att ha en folkhälsomyndighet om det som sägs byggs på magkänsla och vibes.

@jorgenponder @PellervoHannula Postcovidförnekarna är ansvariga för att Sverige blöder pengar. Synd att de funnits i regering, på centrala myndigheter och i medias ledarsidor. 🤷‍♀️

@sofius Vi har ju problem redan med grundläggande funktion, såsom att de går på utsatt tid och ej blir försenade, inställda eller stillastående på rälsen för tågmöten osv. Hellre tåg som faktiskt fungerar väl, än att enbart ha högre standard i kupé och service.

Tänk om, ja bara tänk om Sverige skulle kunna ha sådana här tåg 👇🏻. Vi är ändå ett av världens rikaste länder med stora avstånd. Så varför inte? Därför att ingen siktar högt här längre. Och så all byråkrati och tillståndsprocesser på det. Det är så sorgligt.

@Graham_dePenros It's impossible to operate society through a chicken-race dynamic when power grows in technology. Extinction and armageddon tech need to be resisted globally. The question is not 'if', but instead how.

In 1899, Ivan Stanislavovich Bloch published "Is War Now Impossible? Being An Abridgment Of The War Of The Future In Its Technical, Economic, And Political Relations" warning that industrialized warfare would make traditional combat catastrophic and unsustainable. He was right. He essentially predicted the 8.5 million combat deaths in World War I. May God bless them all. In 2026, Project Maven's product Maven Smart System (MSS) is embedded in all branches of the US Military and late last year was adopted by NATO. A further ten countries are on the waiting list to deploy MSS. Using AI and ML technology MSS completely changes the rules of engagement and the act of warfare at a scale Bloch could never have imagined, his contemporaries were agog at the nascent fields of electricity and cinematography. AI-driven military operations are here and they are here to stay, in the same year that the EU AI Act bans them, member nations' governments of the EU are deploying MSS in their national military. A new generation of thinkers and strategists is coming. The question is whether we will heed the Oppenheimer lesson or press on regardless. I think we all know the answer to that. If you are wondering what that is, it is that we are doomed to press on regardless because everyone who considers themselves our enemy will be doing so. The ubiquitous Catch-22.

Jag inte tror svensk nationalism historiskt alltid har varit så som jag beskriver - utan detta mynnar ur vår tids uppfostran och tolkning av den del av historien vi får lära oss om

Det innefattar "tro", den moraliska, staten, avgränsningen mot omvärlden, och en tyst upplevda överlägsenhet och särställd höghet.

Har tänkt på folksinnet i #Sverige 🇸🇪 (som ligger på ett kollektivt omedvetet plan). Har övervägt ord som "Exceptionalism", "Statsnationalism" etc. Men jag tror det som fångar folksinnet bäst vore en term som "Helig statsnationalism" #sociologi #sociology

@YlvaHabel @r_hellqvist @Kastanjebaren @Aftonbladet Om forskning kommer någon annanstans först, så är den inte sann förens den finns i Sverige. Sverige är källan till sanning!

@dynesius_ @r_hellqvist @Kastanjebaren @Aftonbladet Men OJ? Vilken upptäckt, liksom? Efter sex år, redan? Swärjeh ligger i framkant!!

Dra mig baklänges. Vad händer @Aftonbladet? #tegnell #flockimmunitet #källtillit aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/K884…

BA.3.2, a highly mutated new SARS-CoV-2 variant, is currently circulating in at least 23 countries. BA.3 nearly disappeared in 2022, and since then most of the dominant SARS-CoV-2 variants descended from JN.1. This implies that BA.3.2 re-emerged after significant evolution through heavy mutations in immunocompromised individuals over several years. Accordingly, BA.3.2 is better able to escape immunity from vaccines or prior infections, and this new variant is spreading faster than published data indicate, although no one cares.

@jorgenponder Spekulativt kan det handla om att skydda ekonomiskt maktnätverk som opererar genom ett förtroendebaserat system; att yttersta individerna skyddas, är ev bara det yttere pansarlagret för ett sådant system.

Man får ju förstå att vi inte erkänner att Sveriges pandemistrategi med Covid har skadat folkhälsan. Det gäller ju att försvara ryktet av tre män (Stefan Löfven, Johan Carlson och Anders Tegnell) och en kvinna (Lena Hallengren).

@DrEricDing It's irresponaible & absolute insanity. We need something like an AI IAEA, regulation & democratic discussion globally to not lose control of nukes to blackbox AI.

So… In Terminator 2, SKYNET is a super AI that took over control of nuclear weapons and launched them to obliterate mankind. ⚠️Today—the U.S. government wants to digitize its arsenal of Minutemen nuclear weapons ICBMs to allow AI wireless control. Stupid?

Reading some Substacks I begin to wonder, how much of this is actually AI written or edited? If this continues, it creates a dilution of thinking even in the 'intellectual' spheres of society.

@tegmark Agree. PR is desperately needed to avoid regulation. Especially since the DoW war & surveillance controversy. GenAI is not popular, and in my opinion, rightly so.

The race to superintelligence is IMHO mainly motivated by money and power, not by a plan to cure cancer – which can be better tackled with powerful tool AI:

I'm wondering if the reason for demands of ID/age verification on internet/social media etc is because the Ad revenue model is threatened by the advent of agentic AI. Advertiser simply don't want to pay for bot clicks, and ID verification would save the ad businesses e.g.Meta.

@1goodtern No, it's most likely an anticipatory chessboard move. Ppl want peace & human flourishing & think AI in war & surveillance is probably the opposite. So it's about preemptively strike down on opposition with narrative before it has formed.

So the reason Peter Thiel is building an international invasive surveillance and control system integrated with facial ID and AI controlled killer robots is that he's afraid of <checks notes> the antichrist?

@joni_askola This particular type of claims seem to become common. Its very similar to the pandemic denialism in Sweden. The natural position to a new dangerous thing is to protect oneself & others. What Sweden did was to say "protection is dangerous & exposure is good".

Peter Thiel really thinks he is smarter than everyone else and that we will fall for his gaslighting. He’s delusional

When evaluating the #morals of the distant past, like from the medieval or antiquity – we look at them as rigid and dogmatic. That is probably true. Yet we forget that tech & culture didn't change as fast as now – making their morals at the time *seem* to be timeless.
