Edit: well, shit. To emphasize my point below: https://lemm.ee/post/63762572
The theory I’ve seen around is the effort to classify trans people as pornography. And by that, I mean, illegalize pornography distribution to minors punishable by death penalty, classify trans people in public as said distribution, and then execute.
The way Proj. '25 is worded gives credence to that theory. Not to be a ‘the sky is falling’ type of bird, but, it does come across as a goal for the fasc.
To borrow from a reditor’s explanation… They (not me) posted the following:
On page 5, it states the following.
“Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology[…]“
“Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women.”
“Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders.”
On page 554 it states the following.
“Enforce the death penalty where appropriate and applicable.”
“It should also pursue the death penalty for applicable crimes—particularly heinous crimes involving violence and sexual abuse of children—until Congress says otherwise through legislation.”
Our current ‘AI’ is not AI. It is not.
It is a corporate entity to shirk labor costs and lie to the public.
It is an algorithm designed to lie and the shills who made it are soulless liars, too.
It only exists for corporations and people to cut corners and think they did it right because of the lies.
And again, it is NOT artificial intelligence by the standard I hold to myself.
And it pisses me off to no fucking end.
I personally would love an AI personal assistant that wasn’t tied to a corporation listening to every fkin thing I say or do. I would absolutely love it.
I’m a huge Sci-Fi fan, so sure I fear it to a degree. But, if I’m being honest, AI would be amazing if it could analyze how I learned math wrong as a kid and provide ways to fix it. It would be amazing if it could help me routinely create schedules for exercise and food and grocery lists with steps to cook and how all of those combine to effect my body. It would be fantastic if it could point me to novels and have a critical debate about the inner works with a setting of being a contrarian or not so I can seek to deeply understand the novels.
It sounds like what our current state of AI has right? No. The current state is a lying machine. It cannot have critical thought. Sure, it can give me a schedule of food/exercise, but it might tell me I need to lift 400lbs and eat a thousand turkeys to meet a goal of being 0.02grams heavy. It might tell me 5+7 equals 547,032.
It doesn’t know what the fuck it’s talking about!
Like, ultimately, I want a machine friend who pushes me to better myself and helps me understand my own shortcomings.
I don’t want a lying brick bullshit machine that gives me all the answers but they are all wrong because it’s just a guesswork framework full of ‘whats the next best word?’
Edit: and don’t even get me fucking started on the shady practices of stealing art. Those bastards trained it on people’s hard work and are selling it as their own. And it can’t even do it right, yet people are still buying it and using it at every turn. I don’t want to see another shitty doodle with 8 fingers and overly contrasted bullshit in an ad or in a video game. I don’t want to ever hear that fucking computer voice on YouTube again. I stopped using shortform videos because of how fucking annoying that voice is. It’s low effort nonsense and infuriates the hell out of me.
