This absolutely goes to one of the core issues in society: parents aren’t involved enough. They are too addicted to watching stupid shit like Netflix and other brain rot. The kids need adults and engagement that is human and not a phone. M
I think one of the other issues is that people are so incredibly naïve to technology and it’s implications. I had a little verbal scuffle with my wife the other day because she got mad at me for not letting her do something foolish on the computer. In her mind it’s 2016 in terms of technology but she and many millions of others simply don’t realize how insanely different and complicated this situation is.
The real dangers of this are unfolding now, where people are ceding autonomy and control to these nasty machines and I fear our kids won’t know choice or autonomy when they get to be our age. Everything will be governed by an algorithm unless you have enough money to pay around it.
It all seems so easy, if approaching it with what we currently know. Most just don't know enough to make what they know enough for what they need to know. But, aren't interested i learning, instead relying on others to keep them safe.
Enough money to pay around the algorithm. Life imitating art, from every sci-fi dystopic idea. People want to be included for free, ad that is what they are getting. A small percentage a paying to be excluded from the masses.
Who writes the algorithm that decides if the self driving car avoids hitting the mini van full of kids with a distracted "technologically dumbed down human driver" that just pulled in front of it or suicidally turns into the large cement pillars, trees, etc. that will surely kill the driver and the a.i. unit.
You are correct @cmplxty the future is fucked with the drones that are called hunter killers in the Terminator movies. Now in real life being used in mass over in Israel and Ukraine powered by an algorithm developed here in the U.S. called "Lavender." An algo that decides what is acceptable collateral damage in the form of innocents murdered. It will be pure madness and has already begun. Is this one of our possible futures? @ the 3:30 mark what he says will give you chills...
