    Correct. Because the US dollar is the world's reserve currency, the global markets are balanced on that. Also, it is the modern version of ancient Greece, the ones who created 'democracy'. The founding fathers of the US knew of the potential for tyranny via the government and had written, the US Constitution is the bible for democracy and there's no guessing who and why is destroying it, along with the 2nd amendment. Take away the right to bear arms and the nation will be far easier to control without a populace without weapons to defend themselves. Once the US falls on its head, the rest of the world will follow. Happy days, not.

    Of course not. At least 90% of US judges are in bed with the corrupt, so how can there be a fair and just system?
    Are you sure about that? Who on earth was in the right frame of mind to vote for the circus running the US into the ground, particularly when there had been hardened Republican states for well over 20 years just turn and swing the other way?
    It's not what we can do for you, it's how much we pay you to do the things we want you to do.
    Maybe so, however;

    Homeland Security Admits Dominion Voting Systems Have Inherent Vulnerabilities Easily Manipulated by Local Election Officials


    But to get back on topic, if electronic voting machines can be manipulated, is there a possibility they can be built with an AI that will be biased?

    and if Corporations keep importing goods (sending $$$ overseas)
    and if Corporations keep outsourcing jobs (sending $$$ overseas)

    Americans need jobs too

    we can't continue on the path we are on - Greedy Corporatism is killing Capitalism

    I'm just not sure that there's any intelligence behind the scenes, I think they try to be but fail.
    I don't think Biden is the perfect puppet I think that's the best I could do. I will say this I think he picked someone to be his VP that people hated so much that they wouldn't remove him from office.

    That's if there's that much thought into it but I'm not so sure he might have just seen non-white woman that's the person for me cuz that's what the left cares about right now.

    I would say Republicans are not much better they tend to be a little more reasonable with tax code but otherwise they're just as bad if there were some shenanigans happening in the election I would say Mitch McConnell was just as likely behind it as any Democrat.

    I refer to these two groups as the uniparty
    I don't think they really have a reason, they were those kids in kindergarten that would rip up someone's drawing or kick over blocks or mess up things they don't know why they do it they just do it.

    It's all right I watch them later when when I have time to do that not just sound and I don't read very fast so the closed captioning doesn't work for me. I will sometimes play them at double speed though.

    Everybody needs some form of employment, and with the advent of robotics and AI, we will be obsolete to the elite. Why do you think they implement depopulation programs?

    Did you know that America was founded as a corporation? The top echelon of the elite has regions of the world they control.

    The video says it all. Who is better to play the puppet, someone who doesn't question the moral or ethical boundaries of what is instructed of them?

    agree, which is why I brought up Rome

    a society can not exist if only the rich can support themselves

    India is gonna control the world, as the corps have them Controlling the AI, and they have a CASTE system, where will the USA sit on that social hierarchy

    Interesting. I thought it would be China who controls the world in the future. The elite like what China has done with communism and the social credit system.

    This is known.

    It already has. What the powers that be want are to delete middle incomers. It will only be the haves and have-nots or the rich and poor, no in between.

    actually turns out, those that control the information will control the world

    "It already has. What the powers that be want are to delete middle incomers. It will only be the haves and have-nots or the rich and poor, no in between."

    Totally agree

    Google, and their AI.
    It will be a hodge podge of technocracy, communism, totalitarianism and corporatocracy. With AI being near the centre of it and the global elite at the heart.

    Any AI has multiple limitations, first how much it an learn, it
    It is true we don't t fully understand the Human brain or the huge question of consciousness, but we habe made huge strides in understanding. One of the interesting projects to follow is IBM'S True North prohect, the designing of a computer chip based on how neurons work.

    If you believe an AI can make a decision to learn without being programmed to do so, I suggest you stop using Hollywood as your source of information. AI's are not as mysterious as the current waves of hysteria makes AI tech appear.
    Like the EVOLVINGBCRISPR genetic editing tenology, both AI and genetic editing capabilitiies are cats out of the bag. Both ave potential benefit to humanity and both can be weaponized by bad actorss. BTW, the military already deploys AI tech in advaned weapon systems, like our most advanced military aircraft.

    If you are going to quote me, please quote what I actually stated;
    Do you understand the term, "predictive programming"? Well, if you did, you'd understand why I refer to Hollywood.
    In what specific applications?

    Like all technologies, AI could be used for bad things (e.g., identity theft) or for good things (e.g., providing a high-performing translator for people to communicate with each other when they don't speak each other's language).
    As for the Terminator scare, I think popular science fiction is overly influencing people's perception of whether or not AI is a good thing.
    I generally have a favorable view of efforts to develop AI.

    A concern for me is that AI creates a digital version of you that places you at the scene of a crime. When you were oceans away from it.

    Valid concern. Like I said, all new technologies can be used for good or bad things. Laws and regulations and police and judicial actions will need updates to face new technologies.

    I feel the infancy of AI will have good intentions, but the power-hungry megalomaniacs will contort it for their nefarious agendas.

    I think AI is going to be a game changer for humanity for the better. Is it going to be disruptive and bring massive societal change? For sure. But when things settle down a bit, I think this world will be in a much better place.

    As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions or beliefs, but I can provide you with some information on the potential benefits and drawbacks of artificial intelligence (AI).

    On one hand, AI has the potential to bring about significant benefits to society. For example, it can be used to automate tedious and repetitive tasks, freeing up time for humans to focus on more creative and complex work. AI can also help us solve some of the world's most pressing problems, such as climate change, disease detection, and poverty.

    On the other hand, there are also potential drawbacks to the development of AI. One concern is that AI could lead to job loss, as machines replace human workers in various industries. Additionally, there are concerns about the misuse of AI, including the potential for bias and discrimination in decision-making processes, as well as the possibility of AI being used to create autonomous weapons.

    Overall, whether or not AI is a "good thing" depends on how it is developed and used. If AI is developed responsibly and ethically, with a focus on benefiting society as a whole, then it has the potential to be a powerful force for positive change.

    Thank you Chat OpenAI

    Will AI take away from humanity what humanity already has, creativity, intellect, critical thinking and compassion if AI is going to become the be-all of everything then what of humanity, do we become redundant garden slugs?

    No, I think it will eventually free us to pursue what we really love in life rather than focusing on tasks that we have no interest in. People have this weird notion that it is our jobs that define us. I think that will get tossed aside, and it will be closer to a situation like existed in ancient Greece, where citizens were forbidden to have jobs and instead pursued things like the arts, philosophy, politics, etc. But instead of that being built on the backs of slavery, it will be supported by AI.

    Can I just point out that the thread title cannot be answer by the poll options? Not sure if that can be fixed at this point?

    What makes the world go round, money doesn't it? So how do economies work for those who are now jobless because AI/robotics has taken over their roles? Sure, they can re-educate themselves but how many are intellectually capable of that? The only ones with the toys will benefit, the rest will be labelled as useless eaters.
