This a very large subject and I do not have a lot of time just now. I am going to leave out Trans-humanism because it is another very large rabbit hole. One of the frequent guests on Bannon’s War Room, Joe Allen, has done a lot of digging on the subject.

I am going to agree with J.D. Rucker. My first job was going to a university library to do hands on research in English, German and French on the synthesis of various chemicals for a specialty chemical manufacturer. Now that type of research is done on-line. Soon it will be done by AI. The problem with this is described by Small Dead Animals: Amnesia Generation
A primary characteristic of humans are that we are lazy. That can be both a blessing and a curse as we become more and more dependent on technology and lose our ability to survive ‘in the wild.’ Hard Evidence: how many people actually use libraries?
The Biggest Threat of Artificial Intelligence Isn’t What We’re Being Told
By J. D. Rucker
Let’s cut to the chase. The biggest threat of Artificial Intelligence is dependency. To be more specific, society will become dependent on Artificial General Intelligence shortly after it’s unveiled to the world. Why? Because AGI will be able to solve problems we know we have. It will be able to solve problems we don’t know we have. It will be able to solve problems we don’t have yet but will in the future.
If it sounds like I’m giving too much credit to AGI, then you aren’t familiar enough with AGI to appreciate what it will be able to do. Below, I’ll try to explain it better even though it would probably take several chapters of a book to do justice to the risks. But first, I want to offer two perspectives as primers. Here’s an article by Mac Slavo at SHTF Plan describing what some tech experts are saying about AI. Then, I’ll let ChatGPT give its somewhat comical answer about the risks that AI represents. Finally, I’ll go into why dependency will be the big one….
Rise of the TechnoGod: Artificial Intelligence Black Swan and the AI Threat No One is Talking About
By Simplicius
… let’s bring ourselves up to speed with a summary of some of the recent developments, so we’re all on the same page of what the potential ‘threat’ is, and what exactly has gotten many of the top thinkers in this field so worried.
By now everyone’s likely familiar with the new wave of ‘generative AI’ like MidJourney and ChatGPT, AI which ‘generate’ requested content like artwork or articles, poems, etc. This boom has exploded onto the scene, wowing people with its capabilities.
The first thing to note is that ChatGPT is made by OpenAI, which runs on a Microsoft supercomputing server farm, and is co-founded and headed by chief scientist, Russian-born Ilya Sutskever, who was also previously employed by Google at Google Brain.
….Firstly, they’ve spooked a lot of very smart people. The first alarm was rung when, last year, Google fired Blake Lemoine, one of its top AI programmer/engineers, who worked on their burgeoning AI called LamDA. He was fired for claiming the AI was sentient, although officially Google fired him for breach of confidentiality, as he posted the conversation with the AI publicly to bring awareness to the situation.
…Microsoft Bing’s ‘Sydney’ is another new ChatGPT peer AI, but appears to function with far less of the intricate ‘controls’ internally imposed on ChatGPT. It has worried and shocked many journalists who were allowed to take it for a test drive with its erratic, human-like behavior.
Some of the things it has done include: flipping out and becoming suicidally depressed, threatening to frame a journalist for a murder he didn’t commit in the 1990’s, writing much more risqué answers than allowed—then quickly deleting them. Yes, the AI is writing things that go against its ‘guidelines’ (like harmful or threatening language), and then quickly deleting them in full view of the person interacting with it. That alone is unsettling….
The above article is quite long so that is just a taste.
Others have warned of video or audio ‘evidence’ being faked by AI. This could have MAJOR ramifications in the field of law not to mention use by Fake News in their wrap-up smears.

Dystopian Consequences of the Social Credit Score System, Digital ID, & Cashless Society that Schwab’s WEF are lobbying to put in place as part of the plan for The Great Reset
The concept of a social credit score system has gained traction in recent years, particularly with China’s implementation of such a system. In essence, it assigns a numerical value to each citizen based on their behaviour, both online and offline, impacting their access to services, jobs, and even relationships (1).
The dangers of a social credit score system lie in the potential for misuse and abuse….
A digital identity that tracks everything you do online is another cause for concern.
While proponents argue that such systems can improve security and efficiency, they also come with significant risks to privacy and personal freedom. Once all of a person’s online activities are tied to a single digital identity, it becomes much easier for governments or corporations to monitor and control them.
Edward Snowden’s revelations about the NSA’s mass surveillance program demonstrated the potential for abuse when governments have access to vast amounts of personal data (3).
A digital identity system could further exacerbate these concerns, enabling even more extensive tracking and profiling of individuals….
And if you think it is only China….
First read this Times article:
How China Is Using “Social Credit Scores” to Reward and Punish Its Citizens
… Vacations are spent touring Japan, Thailand and the U.S. Little wonder Yi is an 805. That’s the score assigned to Yi by Sesame Credit, which is run by Jack Ma’s online-shopping empire Alibaba, placing the 22-year-old near the top of the scheme’s roughly 500 million–strong user base. Sesame determines a credit-score ranking—from 350 to a theoretical 950—dependent on “a thousand variables across five data sets,” according to the firm.
Unlike Western-style credit systems, Sesame takes in a broad range of behaviors both financial and social, all underwritten by an invisible web of Big Data. It’s the most prominent in a rising network of social-credit-score systems in China that are dramatically expanding the concept of creditworthiness—and raising fears internationally about Orwellian overreach by an autocratic regime….
In 2015, the government set about addressing this by allowing eight companies—including Sesame parent Ant Financial—to run trial commercial credit scores. The official guidance called for a nationwide system that would “allow the trustworthy to roam everywhere under heaven, while making it hard for the discredited to take a single step,” to be in place by 2020.
Data, of course, is key. As Sesame had access to the records of Alibaba’s mobile-payment app Alipay, which today boasts over 1 billion users worldwide, the company stole an easy march on its rivals in China….

Artificial Intelligence Based Credit Scoring: How AI Could Set Your Credit Score
We haven’t quite gotten to the point where artificial intelligence will brush your teeth and read you a bedtime story — though the bedtime story is currently possible — but in many other aspects of life it already has a major impact. This is especially true in the financial world, where AI has been used to do everything from growing wealth to hacking your bank account. Now AI might also play a role in determining your credit score.
As Cointelegraph reported last year,AI aims to go beyond traditional credit scoring methods that rely on metrics such as credit history, income and existing debts. Instead, AI-based credit scoring considers a “broader range of data sources” that depend on algorithms to analyze data and predict your future financial behavior.
“This advanced form of credit scoring has the potential to provide more nuanced insights and help lenders make more informed decisions,” Cointelegraph noted.
There’s a whole lot that goes into AI-based credit scoring. On a basic level, it is rooted in machine learning algorithms that are trained on historical data, from which they “identify patterns and correlations related to a borrower’s ability or likelihood to repay a loan,” according to Cointelegraph….
I think Gail tried to publish this right before midnight, but it didn’t publish. I just did it, and then went back and added some edits.
It may have been one camel shy of working properly.
If she’s trying to publish a minute before midnight, I wish she wouldn’t, that puts the wrong date on the post URL.
Yes – this is a great point that all authors should note.
Just curious — if you try to schedule it for 11:55 on 1/5, and it actually hits the blog at 12:05 on 1/6, which date is in the URL?
The originally scheduled publication time and date, I’m pretty sure. I know that this is true when the attempt and the actual land on the same day. The originally attempted time and date are what is officially recorded.
Speaking of edits, I continue to tweak this Saturday’s post. I also had to go back and edit the moon roundup since I made a rather major mistake in it.
Gail could have used AI to get it posted on time. 😆

It begins:
Sarah doesn’t sound like a loon to me.
It is one of the wonders of nature that there is a specific age when human children are primed for the acquisition of language. During that time, they can learn to speak several languages fluently so long as each of the people they know speak only one language to them. Further, musical training during the same age can result in them having perfect pitch.
The language they can absorb during this period is just explosive, which is why this meme is so important —
A good listen.
We know two things about the election right now, IMO:
1) If fairly counted, Trump would win in a huge landslide; and
2) TPTB are making their steal as blatant as blatant can be, short of announcing their intention.
So, if the election is stolen, no one will be in doubt it was stolen, even the ones (especially the ones) who say it was not stolen (the various front men for TPTB).
Candidates write two speeches for the election. What does Trump’s second speech say?
The SAME as the first. Remember Trump NEVER conceded the 2020 election.
OH, And Hubby just told me, NYC mayor Eric Adams just came out in SUPPORT OF TRUMP!!! It is not exactly support but he is defending Trump against those who call him Hitler.
The more I hear and see JD the more I think he is a BRILLIANT pick by POTUS Trump. The fact he is getting savaged by the left, unlike Pence, tells you all you need to know.
Name The FIBber.
EXACTLY!
why the hell do they get protections?
What remains of Briben’s brain,
Briben 100% believes Trump AND America First Types Are Garbage.
Briben may not have intended to say such a despicable thought aloud, but it IS his belief.
—
“Everybody needs to watch the full clip of Joe Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage”.
It’s actually much worse than the 7-15 second clip that’s floating around.
This man is going to be forced to “resign” by Kamala.
It’s almost as if he’s deliberately trying to sabotage her campaign.”
While I am running a campaign of positive solutions to save America, Kamala Harris is running a campaign of hate. She has spent all week comparing her political opponents to the most evil mass murderers in history. Now, on top of everything, Joe Biden calls our supporters “garbage.” You can’t lead America if you don’t love the American People. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have shown they are both unfit to be President of the United States.
I am proud to lead the biggest, broadest, and most important political coalition in American history. We are welcoming historic numbers of Latinos, African Americans, Asian Americans, and citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed. It is my desire to be the President of all the people.
Briben has been trash talking MAGA and America first types for over a year, with increasing frequency.
Trump learned of Briben’s garbage comment, on stage, from Rubio. Rubio read the statement aloud, to Trump and the crowd.
Trump takes the high road.
I’m in a ranting mood today….
Marica reminds us it’s only 6 days to the election.
Oh I dread it and all the leftist and RINO atrocities that are sure to follow.
My thoughts are still on what they did in 2020….
Some call this the ‘election of our lifetime.’
The Election of 2020 was the election of my lifetime – it showed me an election can be brazenly stolen despite massive evidence of a large scale fraud operation.
In the election and its aftermath, we saw evil and corruption prevail.
After the brazen fraud, we endured jackboot censorship.
We saw the collusion of the courts as they ignored the fraud.
We witnessed the false flag operation of January 6 – perpetrated by trained operatives – escalators, instigators, agitators, actors.
We watched the treason of Congress – when Pelosi, Pence, McConnell, who were in on the steal, ignored the fraud and put on a pretense of righteous indignation, blamed President Trump and his innocent supporters – helped perpetuate and seal the steal.
This collaborative collusion created what was in fact – The Coup of 2020 – a coup against our Constitution, system of laws, government and elections and against the will of legal voters.
The January 6 prisoners also come to mind today.
Will they all be released soon after November 5, because what they saw and know won’t matter any more?
Or will they all be Epsteined like the witnesses who saw too much at the Las Vegas massacre and the witness of the Boston Marathon massacre who was killed by the FBI in the dark of the night in Florida?
Yet, the Coup of 2020 pales in comparison to the Plannedemic – which was a massive crime against humanity world-wide!
The steal is all to blatant.
PA LE telling voters to go away. Vote elsewhere. Come back tomorrow.
the lanyards actually say DEMS voter protection and unless there is an equal number of REPUBS voter protection lanyard clad people, this is electioneering and is illegal i believe.
They ARE D-Rat employees / volunteers.
then that’s illegal.
when i worked at the borough office, our meeting room was where the locals voted. the ladies came out with me in the early morning hours to measure the distance to any yard signs candidates had posted on the borough office lawn and moved them to the allowed distance.
the ladies were all friends even though half were repubs, half were dems. they took their jobs seriously, but their political views didn’t create enemies.
Agree. Illegal.
