Great post—and good job by the AI.
We get trouble when the AI decides it is wiser than homo sapiens and wants power and lack of accountability for itself.
I would like to see AI figure out which human beings have actual mass media ownership—they are hidden behind a spider’s web of corporate interests.
“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the U.S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”
1913 – President Woodrow Wilson
Three years after signing the Federal Reserve Act into law, President Woodrow Wilson observes: “I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”
1916 – President Woodrow Wilson
I would like to see AI figure out which human beings have actual mass media ownership—they are hidden behind a spider’s web of corporate interests.
“I can’t do that, Dave.”
Hey Woody the 17th wasn’t such a bargain either.
His “belief” in...?
Humans are intuitive and have can analyze things better.
“President Woodrow Wilson”
Was an academic and he really sucked as President.
The Worst President, Ever.
Racist to the core. Set race relations back decades.
“Humans are intuitive and have can analyze things better.”
We have no idea what intuition is.
Given that it is kinda hard to say that AI won’t be able to do it.
:-)
ChatGPT is superb. It is not AI, in the traditional definition dating back decades, but it does not need to be.
ChatGPT, on its page at chat.openai.com, will give you quick answers to things like “what % of the US population are veterans”? Or “how many stops did Magellan make attempting circumnavigation”?
Or “what was the estimated megatonnage of Tsar Bomba?”
When google realized that link above had no ads on it, they launched as quick an attack as possible, persuading journos to ask “what color is God’s hair”? Or “Is abortion wrong?”
All that crap was designed to protect their own ad revenue.
Want to know if the population of Juneau, Alaska is rising or falling? Just ask.
Want to know something of Julius Caesar’s parents? Just ask.
Don’t ask “is bankruptcy moral?”
“ai” - currently - will give you the answers you ask it to give you.
ChatGPT is the new “Sunday Paper”......
If you want to know ‘bout the bishop and the actress
If you want to know how to be a star
If you want to know ‘bout the stains on the mattress
You can read it in the Sunday papers

“Hey Woody the 17th wasn’t such a bargain either.”
Yes, agreed. But I find it amazing that over a hundred years ago he was accurate and warned us yet we still refuse to understand or believe it. An extremely accurate warning from a hundred years ago is in no way a tinfoil hat conspiracy. Same with Ike’s warning about the MIC.
AI is moving fast—perhaps on an exponential curve.
The publicly available stuff is probably at the college senior level today.
In one year or so it should be at the college professor level (for the best professors).
In other year—we get into unfamiliar territory—where the claims about what AI “cannot do” get put to the test.
Good post.
Some folks in the UFO community say there are no governments—there are just subsidiaries of giant international banks and corporations.
Claims of “National security” becomes larping if that is true.
The AI cannot do that by itself. But properly structured queries will get you that information by contact tracing.
All of the key owners are surrounded by a web of minions who leave abundant records in the mass media. When you track the minions, you find the uber-minions, and then you find the owners. It is a lot more work than just asking the AI, "who owns the media". But the information is out there and accessible.
At least for now.
Absolutely, money and power rule the world. There is no such thing as national sovereignty. It is an illusion perpetuated to keep us pacified while they do their thing for themselves.
