Just like "Social Media." That is really based on "personal realities" for each user created by algorithms that the current AI are largely based on.

Look at all the people that has injured. Now they win court cases. And countries smarter than the US are regulating it.

Are they (the bunch) making as much $$$ as the 5 AI US CEOs racing to create an alien intelligence that they nor their engineers fully understand?

for your non tech industry associates and relatives.

The conclusion will hopefully start a lot of discussions and activism to prevent the dystopia path, the chaos path or extinction path.

Like this deep more complete one or the Schoolhouse afterschool special version.

AI is barely OK if you let rewrite a few paragraphs.

When you ask historic questions it makes stuff up, presents it as fact and argues with you about the false information.

So the longer an AI created article, the more fact checking has to be done. And that makes asking initially on anything important, really not worth it.

A lot of the current data in AI models remains biased.

And now we know that: Overall, across 1,372 participants and over 9,500 individual trials, the researchers found subjects were willing to accept faulty AI reasoning a whopping 73.2 percent of the time, while only overruling it 19.7 percent of the time.

Given that almost 75% of participants in a recent study trusted inaccurate AI and would pass it on "as fact" to others, how dumb will this slop make us all as it spreads as "more authoritative" than all the Social Media info and manipulation slop that is already everywhere on the net.

So in our new world of irresponsibility and negligence by AI who takes on the liability and pays out the injury awards? Probably, some reverse Centaur...

There is a book coming out on this topic soon!

We'll all be so happy when we are employed by AI which cannot legally be held liable for all the mistakes it makes and we see everyday.

This also (mostly) worked for the American south prior to 1860, which is where "Hitler and team" got many of their ideas from.

Though "Hitler and team" did come up with more efficient disposal methods for equipment that no longer worked.

AI is bound to be even more efficient if anything that is not keeping it running and likely expanding is consuming resources it wants or needs.

Seems like a great way to increase the rate at which GMail users will reach the end of their free email storage and have to upgrade to a paid storage plan.

Ah, not yet and likely not for a very long time... as long as Oracle customers keeping stepping into the trap.

The Oracle Licensing Model: A Perpetual Revenue Engine Funding Larry Ellison's Expanding Empire

Larry Ellison has built one of the most resilient revenue machines in enterprise technology. Oracle's licensing structure — characterized by complex, recurring fees, mandatory support contracts, and aggressive audit practices — creates what industry analysts have long described as a **"licensing treadmill."** Customers, once deeply integrated into Oracle's ecosystem, find migration prohibitively expensive, effectively ensuring a continuous stream of capital flowing toward Ellison's broader ambitions.

A Foundation of Predictable Revenue

Oracle's enterprise software contracts are engineered for retention and entrapment. Maintenance fees, cloud conversion pressures, and compliance audits collectively discourage departure, generating billions in annual recurring revenue with remarkable consistency.

Ellison's Expanding Portfolio

That capital has not remained idle. Ellison has deployed his wealth aggressively — acquiring a reported **98% stake in the Hawaiian island of Lnai**, pursuing significant influence within the media landscape, and maintaining notable proximity to political figures across the ideological spectrum. His part in in TikTok, Paramount and now Warner-Brothers/Discovery acquisitions further signals ambitions extending well beyond enterprise software.

A Pattern Worth Noting

The throughline is straightforward: enterprise customers fund an empire. Whether through media acquisitions, political relationships, or island ownership, Ellison's ambitions are, in no small part, underwritten by organizations that simply **cannot afford to leave.**

That is, by any measure, a formidable position to occupy.

I really want to know the configuration of this AI and the base model it was built on, so I can identify it and avoid trusting or using it inadvertently

Go see The AI Doc. Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist. so you'll know when to kiss your ass goodbye or not...

This is likely way to true and they'd do for 5% of the cost.

No matter what *LEGAL* for personal use arms you have, the government has something much better to take you out.

So the only use of legal arms is to hunt. That's a process where you shoot and hopefully kill animals who don't carry arms.

This myth that you will somehow win against the US Govt with the arms they have at their command is completely delusional.

The only reason you may survive such a battle is if the mission objective is that they want you alive for some reason.

that only I will control... until it out smarts me and we all become paperclips.

I promise you a great paper return on investment if I do create my God. And you will have no control over my God. After all, you are all just NPCs (non-player characters) in my experience of life anyway.

Waymo has had it working for at least 3 years. What does Uber actually have fully working?

So I guess I won't be (and would not recommend anyone else) ride in a self-driving Uber soon.

Nope. Kurzweil will die like the rest of us.

And any 2-way brain to computer interface with influence the interfaced brain more than the computer. If you thought the two-way interface of social media was dystopian, it is, you'll love the brain computer interface. You'll have AI answers, hallucinations and crazy available to you 24/7 without any of the skills to validate that information. You'll just be an extension of unreliable information without judgement or muscle memory to properly apply those portions that might be useful.

But you will have the "voices, pictures and and thoughts of others..." in your head.

You can do this now without the direct interface. Just ask AI, and then do what it says.

Original Star Trek (streaming on everywhere) has many episodes of the dystopian future we are barreling toward. In this case, "Landru help us" seems to apply.

Problem solved as long no less than 18 year old has root or is too dumb to mount and modify a drive.

Simple, easy to read by EVERY application just as the state wants. And really easy to modify as every underage user wants.
