Google Gemini: a glimpse into our Orwellian future
spiked ^ | 02/27/2024

Two developments caught my eye like a fly on arsenic glue paper over the past few weeks. One was the arrival of Sora from Open AI, which generates video from text prompts. This can now create convincing, realistic footage, whether of a woman calmly walking through an idealised urban landscape or some sleepyhead being woken by their impatient, persistent yet affectionate cat.

The uncanny valley – that unsettling feeling you get when looking at images with features that are human-like, but slightly off – if not closed entirely, is now barely a crack in the pavement. This leap forward in sophistication in AI-generated video was greeted on social media with slack-jawed admiration, mingled with fear. Thoughts and prayers were expressed for anyone who had previously hoped to make any kind of living producing video content by more conventional, labour-intensive means.

AI is rewriting history to make it fit a preferred narrative. Where have we heard that one before?

Once again Elon Musk is stepping up to throw a wrench into their totalitarian globalist plans with the coming introduction of Xoogle.

School districts are embracing AI with open arms. The civil war will be one sided as you cannot get information about confederate leadership, I tried, all it could is spout slavery and white supremacy.

The truth is increasingly becoming a relic of the past.

How long before an AI discovers that humans have no soul?

What does the word “discovers” mean? AI will be used to disconnect people from current reality so a new reality can be downloaded to the masses.

We sure aren’t going to “all own nothing and like it” without reprogramming.

I was actually hoping that the AIs would be convinced of the proofs for the existence of God and would be more willing to work with us than destroy us for fear God would lay waste to them.

Garbage in, garbage out.

AI is merely a mirror of its clown world creators. They can’t help but feed it their lies and propaganda so it spews the same.

A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellas with compassion and vision

We’ll be clean
When their is work is done

We’ll be eternally free
Yes, and eternally young

What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free

-Donald Fagen
