Well, as long as governments aren’t stupid enough to hook AI up to virus research or nuclear launch code systems or anything like that. I mean, they’ve never done anything that dumb before, right? /s
True, like the Industrial Revolution, there is no way to stop AI from advancing - the only thing we can do as individuals is fight for the rights and means to defend against it and/or abstain from it. Some cultures, like the Amish have tried to remain an agricultural society, untouched by the Industrial Revolution, with limited success.
And like a computer virus or internet pornography - the viruses and porn will be out there on the internet - you can’t do anything to change that. But you can at least destroy or disconnect your devices…
My devices are connected to the internet - but I turn off microphones and remove voice recognition features - that’s my choice - other people go further - putting their mobile phones and bank cards in Faraday bags, or by reverting to old flip phone technology.
Hopefully, it will be a while before you can’t refuse the chip implants, etc. but in the end I suspect - as the Borgs on Star Trek liked to say - “Resistance is futile”.
The “downloading” of ideas from “somewhere else” was a concept well described by Plato—even without aliens.
The “aliens” are a clue to a “universe” we really do not understand—at a very deep level.
Imho “disclosure” is not an end in itself—it is a beginning of seeing new horizons that we cannot yet even envision.
The deeper I dig on this stuff the more convinced I am that nobody knows what they are talking about—they create narratives to explain what they do not understand.
That said I do not accept for one nanosecond the .gov narrative “we don’t know what they are”.
That false narrative is not a philosophical one—it is just blatant lying and gaslighting about the information .gov and their corporate fascist partners do have. They may not “understand” everything about the aliens—but they do understand a million times more than they are publicly disclosing.
