#but all mainstream AI is below garbage

[xeed-null]

Generative AI right now is just a novelty. the only uses I can think of for mainstream AI is in free answer polls, where many different things can mean the same thing, AI could be good at binning answers together.

it feels a lot like the space race, no real reason other than a fear that their may BE a reason (and also it acts as a dick measuring contest between companies).

I feel like the big push for AI is starting to flag. Even my relatively tech obsessed dad is kinda over it. What do you even use it for? Because you sure as hell dont want to use it for fact checking.

There's an advertisement featuring a woman surreptitiously asking her phone to provide her with discussion topics for her book club. And like... what? This is the use case for commercial AI? Is this the best you could come up with? Lying to your friends about Moby Dick?

Dear Dystopian Writers,

Science is not on your side. 

There’s a magic and also a politic to every aspect of our lives, so it’s more a question of attitude than scientific ability. Given Nikola Tesla’s work, humanity has no further need for the chains of capitalist slavery. It’s just a question of tastes and preferences.  

We choose the future. Embracing this, we must ask ourselves how we want humanity to turn out. 

Here are some excellent quotes by Buckminster Fuller to help illustrate where I’m coming from:

“Everyone is born a genius, but the process of living de-geniuses them.“

“Love is metaphysical gravity.“

“Either war is obsolete or men are.“

“Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we've been ignorant of their value.“

“Integrity is the essence of everything successful.“

Solar punk’s got a lot to deal with when it comes to nuclear weapons.

To be honest, solarpunk cities are the most vulnerable targets and this culture has to take the attitude that is is truly an oppressed, erased, voiceless culture struggling to be heard at all in any way by history. Not this bullshit about how GMOs are going to save us or some kind of garbage about how Monsanto-batman will rescue us all with their capitalist white privilege and ability to give people cancer. 

Violent people tend to be the most ideologically conservative and colonial, so a decolonized capital city free free of obligation to dark energy-overlords is truly doomed to nuclear weapons attacks and terrorism, IF there aren’t strong and truly deep safeguards and counter-offenses built into the science of the fiction - how deep you go on this duality struggle is a dangerous exploration for plot progression if we aren’t talking to your absolute core as a human being, then what’s up, because playing into the chess-matches of the oppressor robs our ability to transcend duality altogether, or as Albert Einstein said,

“We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.” -Einstein

Geeks who want to see fancy robots may be disappointed by solarpunk to be gently reminded that robotics and technology are here to serve and suit humanity, and I beg the questioning of why robots-as-humanoids ever was introduced by pop culture mainstream influencers. 

I’m a human’s human. 

I want humans to be the humans on this planet, so to speak, and rather than building legacies on sand or the banks of a flood-prone river where some other species of hominid will be the human on this planet- I encourage every writer to probe deeply in the science and find the firmest ground to stand on possible - the sooner we reveal the truth behind the lies we tell ourselves, the sooner we experience our own apocalypse and awakening - like sports as an outlet for testosterone-based aggression, may philosophy and spirituality be the outlet for your armageddon rather than the material world where I’m tryna fuckin live heah!

If we feed too much into robotics and A.I., it would be worse than nuclear weapons research.

Hear me out though, fam!

WHY IS DYSTOPIA THE CRAZE AND UTOPIA THE CRAZY?

Yes I call dystopian writers lazy. In the intellectual sense, you just have to be rigorous and patient enough, and dammit, in love with yourself enough, to get to a level of wanting a good future for yourself and your grandkids, their robots, and so on. Truly in an AI-dominated robotic world, there would also be no need for nor existence of robots that resemble humans; we are a truly unique thing to behold.

We’ve also witnessed entire nuclear missile silos be shut down remotely, and this was later verified by a retired United States Air Force personnel.  CBS News is the source of the above link and below verbatim quote: “One of the more out-of-the-ordinary press conferences held in Washington this week consisted of former Air Force personnel testifying to the existence of UFOs and their ability to neutralize American and Russian nuclear missiles.” I have known about this phenomenon for a while but didn’t know about that CBS article until researching this one. The phenomenon of nuke-shutdowns by UFOs is widespread, and well-documented, and I encourage sci-fi writers to research this in great detail. 

I am here to lift the fog of scientific illiteracy, while asking of our attitudes as well, do we want humans to have a place on this planet? As world-building writers, we have to be responsible in our world-building, as these magical scenes drip-feed into the subconscious shared-awareness (zeitgeist) and reality we share.

Twin studies show that quantum physics and entanglement work from the embryonic levels, as identical twins often report feeling each other’s feelings at a distance - essentially proving that telepathy, or telekinesis of neural firing patterns, is a material phenomenon we have to live with and get used to. If you don’t believe me, just Google-search “twin studies feeling at a distance” and I won’t patronize you but I beg you to understand with me here where the science has matured and progressed - we have propaganda coming out of “How Stuff Works.com” saying stuff like “The twins scored nearly twice as many correct answers as would have been by chance, while the non-twin siblings scored just below the chance expectation of 25 percent” and then turning around and concluding that no, twins do not have any special abilities. This is worse than the CDC logic back in February telling us that N95 masks only work if you are a licensed medical professional. I don’t highlight this to lambast a hardworking woman and freelance writer- I am encouraging you to realize this is a propaganda war, and dark energy overlords DO NOT want people to be aware of these abilities in twins or ESPECIALLY non-twins and everyday folks. Humans ourselves have vast (and I mean FUCKING VAST) untapped potential. So maybe we can explore that before obliterating the world with ye olde dystopian bullshite? 

I find it super-interesting to unpack solar-punk culture indeed going into the viral lockout and subsequent economic depression we indeed are all going to have more time to write and share ideas online, so it’s vital to truly gut-check our attitudes and scientific awareness as we forge ahead.

Do we want the world to be destroyed or heroically saved?

This is pretty much a personal question, and it’s about attitude not scientific viability.
