What about AI that observes whether you yawn too much at work, or if your eyes appear tired too often? Would you be okay with that? Because that tech already exists, and is in use.
I like the cameras they work great. I have a 70” tv in my living room and above that I have a 42” mounted to the wall that we use to show family photos slideshow on. I installed an Amazon Fire Stick on the 42” tv and it comes with a photos app that you can upload unlimited photos on it and have it play a slideshow 24/7. Then I connected my Eufy door lock to the Alexa app which allows me to have the camera interrupt the photo slide show when someone comes to the door so I can see who’s at the door. I have a 32” fire tv upstairs in my bedroom that does the same and at night when I activate night mode when we go to sleep if it detects a person it turns on the tv in my bedroom and shows the camera that detected the person. It’s pretty nice to be woken up by the alarm and not have to fumble around with my phone trying to see that tiny screen waking up from a dead sleep when your eyes aren’t quite working yet. It gives me time to get to the gun safe if I need to.
There's nothing wrong with that. Or with cameras in general, or with protecting your home... In this thread, I'm referring to the use of AI, and where we do, or don't want it to go in the future, as far as 'being controlled'.
Because one thing leads to another, and if you don't care now, then when will you care?
Yeah well that freedom goes both ways. If I hire an employee I should have the right to observe that employee to make sure that he or she is doing what I’m paying him or her to do and doing it according to company policies that I’ve put in place.
Agreed, however with the upcoming technology, it's right and just that we distinguish the boundaries alongside the technological advancements, so as to maintain a healthy society. If you look back into history, at the beginning of the industrial revolution, we see that initially, boundaries were not made, and we see how rivers and streams were flooded with toxic chemicals. We saw lax safety standards, and a lot of other factors that were overlooked.
The difference between me, and a lot of other people, is that I tend to be a *big picture* type thinker. I'm not looking at myself, or you personally, but at our entire society.. I feel like we need to know what is and isn't okay. Where do we draw the line in the sand? This is the paradigm I'm trying to portray with this thread, while looking at what's to come.
How about A.I. controlled suicide bomber vehicles or kamikaze planes then? One could fit a lot of GPUs in the back of a 4Runner or a Promaster and get some hardcore 50-caliber machine gun fire through an open window too. Serial killers would love those. Ugh.
A.I. pastors should be Dead On Arrival. Since when do computers have the Holy Spirit?
Yeah, I recently started a job with the Post Office and they have their own insurance for their vehicles. Though if I get a ticket I am responsible for paying it. I see that this has been rebutted already though, so beside the point.
And this is the first sentence down the road to total oppression. Our current society already feels like oppression to me, and now this post is on the way to make it worse?
What about our obsession with feelings? isn't it true that humans represent a balance between feelings and facts? What happens if that natural balance becomes uneven? Will it not throw off something that has remained symmetrical for hundreds of thousands, or millions of years?
Such a thing may turn out to be not so far fetched. The first victims might not even be believers, as we recognize them now, and those victims may not realize exactly what they're doing, until they're fully ingrained in it.
Some unbelievers have been worshiping Big Tech for awhile now. This is just another slide down the hill for them in their belief that technology can save us.
