Lest YOU Are Brainwashed to be Happy in an Age of Transformation Tyranny:

Videos & Commentary to Refresh YOUR Memory to at Least Awaken Personal Resistance!

And yet another examination of saved videos and in that process, MORE discovered videos that I pray lights a spark of resistance rather than an ALL-IS-LOST defeatist submission. So VOTE! If voting doesn’t work due to corruption, THEN DO NOT COMPLY! Find like-minded individuals in your local community, THEN GET INVOLVED!

 

Whatever your reaction, at least do something on an individual basis. DO NOT wait for someone else to do something because that will produce nothing. If you are the grammar police: Neither will it produce anything.

 

The videos and/or articles are in a rough order of my interest rather than any chronological order.

UGETube VIDEO: Behind the Globalist Strategy to Control Your Life: Seamus Bruner Exposes the ‘Controligarch’ Agenda

Posted by John Houk

Published 21 Mar 2024

 

I actually found this Crossroads (https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/crossroads) episode via Telegram The Epoch Times (https://t.me/epochtimes) which linked to EPOCH TV. The episode was posted on 2/21/24 (https://tinyurl.com/mwp7re57).

 

EPOCH TV Description:

 

“There’s a global power grab going on. But it’s not between multinational corporations, or between politicians. This power grab seeks to take power away from individuals and to transfer it to the “controligarchs.” We speak to Seamus Bruner, author of “Controligarchs,” about who these people are, what they want, and what it means for individual freedoms.

UGETube VIDEO: Hollywood Takeover: China’s Control in the Film Industry | NEW Documentary

Posted by John Houk

Published 22 Mar 2024

 

I became aware of this Documentary via Telegram The Epoch Times (https://t.me/epochtimes). The Epoch Times post I placed in my saved file from 3/20/24 had this description:

 

“It’s a "very important documentary,” said actress Trish Cook, who praised “#HollywoodTakeover: China’s Control in the Film Industry.” This groundbreaking film unveils the truth about CCP’s takeover of the US by controlling access to our minds through film. Watch here!👉https://epochtim.es/hollywood20c [Blog Editor: This TET link takes one to purchase options to view the /documentary.]

 

This is a MUST-SEE film that follows Chris Fenton, a former Hollywood executive, and Tiffany Meier, an investigative reporter, through their journey of discovering how Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) takeover of Hollywood is part of the CCP's information war targeting the US population. Watch exclusively on EpochTV.”

 

Since I subscribe to The Epoch Times, I found the EPOCH TV link to the Documentary posted on 3/8/24 (https://tinyurl.com/axyd7d8y). TET is largely an Online subscription journal producing TV News and Documentaries to add to their profit margin, Thus, they watch over their copyrighted material. For that reason I share Epoch Times/EPOCH TV information on UGETube – a video platform more enable to Fair Use doctrine.

 

HERE is the EPOCH TV description of Chinese Communist Party infiltrating Hollywood – America’s largest source of Big Screen entertainment (You should think: CCP Propaganda Tool):

 

“News: On March 4, YouTube took down the trailer of the new NTD Original Documentary “Hollywood Takeover: China’s Control in the Film Industry” and removed the Hollywood Takeover YouTube account. The account and trailer were only reinstated two days later after a news outlet asked Youtube why and reported about this news.

 

“Hollywood Takeover: China’s Control in the Film Industry” is an NTD Original Documentary that pulls back the curtain on how Hollywood is helping to further a global adversary’s agenda, the consequences of that on the future, and what brave individuals are doing to change the tide.

 

“Hollywood Takeover” follows Chris Fenton, a former Hollywood executive, and Tiffany Meier, an investigative news reporter, on their journey to uncover the must-tell story behind Hollywood and China’s lucrative union, which didn’t happen by accident.

 

The survival of the United States depends on people waking up to the Chinese Communist Party’s relentless literal and cognitive takeover of our country. At this crucial historical moment, the truth may be inconvenient to many, but we all have a choice to make: will we continue to feed the red dragon?

Dr. Reiner Fuellmich on Mass Mind Control Operation in 7/10/23 THEN Arrested October 2023

 

A video from Rumble Channel Stew Peters Network which was posted 7/10/23. I first became aware of it from Telegram Reiner Fuellmich 🇺🇸/🇬🇧/🇦🇺 posted on 3/19/24. I’m posting the Rumble video, but here is the Reiner Fuellmich description:

 

“Covid-19 Was A Mass Mind Control Operation: Pandemic Used To Inflict Psychological Terror On World

 

What do transgenderism, pedophilia, and Covid-19 have in common?

 

Dr. Reiner Fuellmich is here to talk about the mental terrorism inflicted on the world during the Covid pandemic.

 

According to Dr. Fuellmich’s findings, Covid was all fake.

 

It was an act of psychological terrorism acting as a pilot program for mass mind-control.

 

In effect, the purpose of all of it was to dumb down the population, making them more reliant on powerful institutions and more suggestible to extreme ideas.

 

One of the ultimate goals is also depopulation.”

 

Since the July interview with Stew Peters, Dr. Fuellmich was arrested in October 2023 which smacks a lot like internal greed from a Fuellmich associate (a Judas if you will) and EU-Globalist persecution to shut-up and shut-down Europe’s most famous critic of the COVID-Narrative and the mRNA-Narrative. Elsa Schieder (a Canadian Academic) is an ardent Fuellmich supporter and provided updates of Fuellmich’s arrest and show-trial persecution on two of her Substack pages: Elsa is Elsa and The Truth Summit. Elsa has a great rundown of how the EU trapped Dr. Fuellmich into an arrest on her 10/15/23 post entitled, “UPDATE on REINER FUELLMICH'S ARREST”. Len Kinder on his Substack page provides a decent evenhanded account of Fuellmich political persecution posted on 2/15/24 under the title, “PERSECUTION OF REINER FUELLMICH”. The most recent Duck-Duck-Go search I found on Dr. Fuellmich plight is at NewsTarget.com posted 3/19/24 (but points to Elsa as an update source) under the title, “Dr. Fuellmich provides insightful updates about his trial and arrest”.

 

And now the video:

What do transgenderism, pedophilia, and Covid-19 have in common?

Dr. Reiner Fuellmich is here to talk about the mental terrorism inflicted on the world during the Covid pandemic.

According to Dr. Fuellmich’s findings, Covid was all fake.

It was an act of psychological terrorism acting as a pilot program for mass mind-control.

In effect, the purpose of all of it was too dumb down the population, making them more reliant on powerful institutions and more suggestible to extreme ideas.

One of the ultimate goals is also depopulation.

For some strange reason the global elites responsible for this mind control also want humanity to consent.

They want us to choose to put things in our body that are harmful and ultimately lead to death.

This mind control is more effective in the western world than in Africa.

The excess mortality rates from the bioweapon injections are high in developed countries.

The masses bought into the fear tactics and brainwashing and voluntarily injected themselves with deadly poison.

Most of our leaders and those in positions of power are actually psychopaths.

However, these leaders couldn’t have risen to power if the masses didn’t play along.

This is because the general public has been dumbed down due to the collapse of our education system.

We have been taught to follow orders and not think for ourselves.

There are a lot of people who are highly educated but also very stupid.

Cowardice fuels the stupidity of the general public.

Those who have perpetuated these crimes against humanity must be held accountable at Nuremberg 2.0.

Coup-Installed Biden Documented Foreign Bribes…Dems & RINOs: ‘Nothing to See Here – ONLY Believe False Trump Accusations’

 

Telegram Hidden Truth (an ASK-TO-JOIN Channel) posted an NTD News video of Senator Josh Hawley grilling FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate about FBI-hidden document FD-1023 showing Coup-Installed Biden took bribes from foreign sources. The Hidden Truth posted the video on 3/20/24 (https://t.me/c/1957625621/305) with only this description: “The FBI hates Americans”.

 

When Dems ACTIVELY cover up crimes by a sitting President, the smell of massive political treason by all involved (Congress & Executive Branch UNELECTED Bureaucrats) THERE is a stench Americans who still want a Land-of-the-Free-and-Home-of-the-Brave to be fumigated – VIGOROUSLY.

 

It is now March 2024 and these revelations of Coup-Installed Biden occurred in the Senate in June 2023. Dem-Marxists and RINOs are so entrenched in retaining power there has not been a smidgen of an effort to remove Biden from an Office he was installed at.

Posted by Just a Dude

Published March 13, 2024

 

In "The End of Human History As We Know It" by "HelioWave," [Blog Editor: Youtube HelioWave Channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/HelioWave/videos). Youtube version of video: https://tinyurl.com/3pxrk3t3] the narrator paints a chilling vision of a future where power has shifted away from humans to an alien intelligence, a non-human entity. The documentary focuses on the Google Gemini scandal, revealing how artificial intelligence is being crafted to sow division among humans and manipulate human behavior. The film highlights the dangers of companies like Google infusing identity politics into their code, arguing that this could lead to the erasure of human history. The narrator warns of the grave consequences that might arise from climate change narratives being embedded in AI, potentially resulting in a future where humanity is seen as a plague. The documentary also investigates the intricate connections between major tech companies and intelligence agencies, and their influence in swaying elections. The narrator provides a psychological analysis of the left's drive towards radicalization and misguided thinking due to ideological subversion. This must-watch documentary is essential for anyone seeking to understand the darker implications of AI and its potential repercussions on human history and society.

From Developed Tyranny to Emerging Tyranny

THINK ON THIS!

John R. Houk, Blog Editor

Posted June 30, 2023

 

I ran into two posts yesterday that stirred me to share. The two posts really do not really have an obvious common relationship except perhaps one thread: A history of tyranny’s formation leading to today and tyranny’s future path via technocratic despotism.

 

FIRST UP: On Substack Greg Reese posted, “The 2 Party System and the Dumbing Down of America”. One of the greatest expositions I’ve heard and read on how the current 2-Party political system has failed the Founders’ original designs for American Liberty. Substack has a nearly 5-minute video to go along with the text, I’ll be using Reese’s Bitchute version for embed purposes that is 6:19 in length because it includes an ad from Reese’s biggest sponsor BannedVideo.

 

NEXT UP: Is Dr. Joseph Mercola’s 6/29 post, “Shepherds of the Singularity”. Dr. Mercola expounds from George Orwell’s final warning video (a 2:27-minute video posted on Youtube 3-years ago) by highlighting an impending tyrannical control of human life by Artificial Intelligence (AI). This is scary Terminator fiction emerging as potential fact.

 

AND LAST as a bonus: More video (1:48-minute length) on the creepy Israeli WEF-Transhumanist promoter Yuval Noah Harari entitled, “YUVAL: AI CAN NOW CREATE A NEW VIRUS BY WRITING THE GENETIC CODE & YOU HAVE AN NEW EPIDEMIC!”.

The 2 Party System and the Dumbing Down of America

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free... it expects what never was and never will be - Thomas Jefferson

The Reese Report

 

Bitchute VIDEO: THE 2 PARTY SYSTEM AND THE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA

[Posted by Greg Reese

First Published June 28th, 2023 13:57 UTC

 

… MORE DESCRIPTION]

 

After seven years of violent revolution, our American founders were well aware that political factions were most often used to divide and conquer the people. And they knew that the Republic they created would only last as long as the people could remain educated.

 

In 1816 Thomas Jefferson wrote; “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”

 

By the end of the Civil War, the two-party system became the norm, the Globalist system we face today was born, and the deliberate dumbing down of the American citizen began with our great-great-grandparents.

 

In the late eighteen hundreds, the Skinner Pavlovian method was brought into American schools by Johns Hopkins. These psychological methods allowed teachers the ability to program students’ behavior in the same way that Pavlov did with dogs.

 

In 1934, the Carnegie International Endowment for Peace published the Report On The Commission On Social Studies. Which explicitly stated the goal of eventually taking away people’s land, and noted that most people would obviously oppose this. The solution was to begin using the school system to re-condition the minds of children.

 

In 1976, the bicentennial year of the Declaration of Independence, 124 Congressmen signed the "Declaration of Interdependence." which stated that: "Two centuries ago our forefathers brought forth a new nation; now we must join with others to bring forth a New World Order."

 

And it pledged to give children special attention in distributing a common education to suit their goals.

 

By the nineteen nineties, this globalist dumbing down system was perfected. And America began exporting it worldwide in what is known as Outcome-based education.

 

Starting in 2010, Common Core began in the United States. It outlined what students were expected to know at each grade level, and enforced ways to assess those standards.

 

Charlotte Iserbyt, author of The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America, has traced most of this agenda stemming from The Order of Skull and Bones at Yale, through both Republicans and Democrats. Two wings of the same globalist bird which understood that dumbed-down people have a base desire for a simple Dualistic choice.

 

In 1953, the Rockefeller Foundation funded the Robbers Cave Experiment, wherein, eleven-year-old boys who thought they were signing up for summer camp were organized into two separate tribes and were manipulated into fighting each other. Which was easily accomplished by having a single resource that the two groups competed for.

 

The Henri Tajfel experiments of the nineteen seventies showed that by simply dividing people into two groups, they would naturally identify with their own group and discriminate against the other.

 

The basic ego mind is constantly making preferences. No matter how dumb you are, you have an opinion about everything. And if you can keep the population dumb enough, and give them two parties to choose from, they will innately identify with one, and despise the other.

 

This allows the globalist system the cover they need to implement unpopular policies, such as a Central Bank Digital Currency, while ‘We the People’ ignorantly fight each other.

 

United we stand. Divided we fall. And we’ve been falling for it for generations.

 

The American people have been so thoroughly dumbed down that we think freedom is the ability to choose between two parties working for the same control system. And we have been made so weak that we are afraid to even discuss the option of violence. Which is most often the only remedy for tyranny.

 

But if we were an enlightened people, we could simply unite together as one and just say no to the tyrants.

 

The answer to 1984, is 1776.

Youtube VIDEO: Orwell's final warning - Picture of the future

 

[Posted by theJourneyofPurpose TJOP

Posted on Apr 17, 2020

 

… MORE DESCRIPTION]

 

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

 

Ø Experts warn artificial intelligence (AI) may destroy mankind and civilization as we know it unless we rein in the development and deployment of AI and start putting in some safeguards

 

Ø The public also needs to temper expectations and realize that AI chatbots are still massively flawed and cannot be relied upon. An attorney recently discovered this the hard way, when he had ChatGPT do his legal research. None of the case law ChatGPT cited was real

 

Ø In 2022, Facebook pulled its science-focused chatbot Galactica after a mere three days, as it generated wholly fabricated results

 

Ø The unregulated deployment of autonomous AI weapons systems is perhaps among the most alarming developments. Foreign policy experts warn that autonomous weapons technologies will destabilize current nuclear strategies and increase the risk of preemptive attacks. They could also be combined with chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons, thereby posing an existential threat

 

Ø AI may also pose a significant threat to biosecurity. MIT students have demonstrated that large language model chatbots can allow anyone to design bioweapons in as little as an hour

 

Will artificial intelligence (AI) wipe out mankind? Could it create the “perfect” lethal bioweapon to decimate the population?^1,2 Might it take over our weapons,^3,4 or initiate cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, such as the electric grid?⁵

 

According to a rapidly growing number of experts, any one of these, and other hellish scenarios, are entirely plausible, unless we rein in the development and deployment of AI and start putting in some safeguards.

 

The public also needs to temper expectations and realize that AI chatbots are still massively flawed and cannot be relied upon, no matter how “smart” they appear, or how much they berate you for doubting them.

 

George Orwell’s Warning

 

The video at the top of this article features a snippet of one of the last interviews George Orwell gave before dying, in which he stated that his book, “1984,” which he described as a parody, could well come true, as this was the direction in which the world was going.

 

Today, it’s clear to see that we haven’t changed course, so the probability of “1984” becoming reality is now greater than ever. According to Orwell, there is only one way to ensure his dystopian vision won’t come true, and that is by not letting it happen. “It depends on you,” he said.

 

As artificial general intelligence (AGI) is getting nearer by the day, so are the final puzzle pieces of the technocratic, transhumanist dream nurtured by globalists for decades. They intend to create a world in which AI controls and subjugates the masses while they alone get to reap the benefits — wealth, power and life outside the control grid — and they will get it, unless we wise up and start looking ahead.

 

I, like many others, believe AI can be incredibly useful. But without strong guardrails and impeccable morals to guide it, AI can easily run amok and cause tremendous, and perhaps irreversible, damage. I recommend reading the Public Citizen report to get a better grasp of what we’re facing, and what can be done about it.

 

Approaching the Singularity

 

“The singularity” is a hypothetical point in time where the growth of technology gets out of control and becomes irreversible, for better or worse. Many believe the singularity will involve AI becoming self-conscious and unmanageable by its creators, but that’s not the only way the singularity could play out.

 

Some believe the singularity is already here. In a June 11, 2023, New York Times article, tech reporter David Streitfeld wrote:⁶

 

“AI is Silicon Valley’s ultimate new product rollout: transcendence on demand. But there’s a dark twist. It’s as if tech companies introduced self-driving cars with the caveat that they could blow up before you got to Walmart.

 

‘The advent of artificial general intelligence is called the Singularity because it is so hard to predict what will happen after that,’ Elon Musk ... told CNBC last month. He said he thought ‘an age of abundance’ would result but there was ‘some chance’ that it ‘destroys humanity.’

 

The biggest cheerleader for AI in the tech community is Sam Altman, chief executive of OpenAI, the start-up that prompted the current frenzy with its ChatGPT chatbot ... But he also says Mr. Musk ... might be right.

 

Mr. Altman signed an open letter⁷ last month released by the Center for AI Safety, a nonprofit organization, saying that ‘mitigating the risk of extinction from AI. should be a global priority’ that is right up there with ‘pandemics and nuclear war’ ...

 

The innovation that feeds today’s Singularity debate is the large language model, the type of AI system that powers chatbots ...

 

‘When you ask a question, these models interpret what it means, determine what its response should mean, then translate that back into words — if that’s not a definition of general intelligence, what is?’ said Jerry Kaplan, a longtime AI entrepreneur and the author of ‘Artificial Intelligence: What Everyone Needs to Know’ ...

 

‘If this isn’t ‘the Singularity,’ it’s certainly a singularity: a transformative technological step that is going to broadly accelerate a whole bunch of art, science and human knowledge — and create some problems,’ he said ...

 

In Washington, London and Brussels, lawmakers are stirring to the opportunities and problems of AI and starting to talk about regulation. Mr. Altman is on a road show, seeking to deflect early criticism and to promote OpenAI as the shepherd of the Singularity.

 

This includes an openness to regulation, but exactly what that would look like is fuzzy ... ‘There’s no one in the government who can get it right,’ Eric Schmidt, Google’s former chief executive, said in an interview ... arguing the case for AI self-regulation.”

 

Generative AI Automates Wide-Ranging Harms

 

Having the AI industry — which includes the military-industrial complex — policing and regulating itself probably isn’t a good idea, considering profits and gaining advantages over enemies of war are primary driving factors. Both mindsets tend to put humanitarian concerns on the backburner, if they consider them at all.

 

In an April 2023 report⁸ by Public Citizen, Rick Claypool and Cheyenne Hunt warn that “rapid rush to deploy generative AI risks a wide array of automated harms.” As noted by consumer advocate Ralph Nader:⁹

 

“Claypool is not engaging in hyperbole or horrible hypotheticals concerning Chatbots controlling humanity. He is extrapolating from what is already starting to happen in almost every sector of our society ...

 

Claypool takes you through ‘real-world harms [that] the rush to release and monetize these tools can cause — and, in many cases, is already causing’ ... The various section titles of his report foreshadow the coming abuses:

 

‘Damaging Democracy,’ ‘Consumer Concerns’ (rip-offs and vast privacy surveillances), ‘Worsening Inequality,’ ‘Undermining Worker Rights’ (and jobs), and ‘Environmental Concerns’ (damaging the environment via their carbon footprints).

 

Before he gets specific, Claypool previews his conclusion: ‘Until meaningful government safeguards are in place to protect the public from the harms of generative AI, we need a pause’ ...

 

Using its existing authority, the Federal Trade Commission, in the author’s words ‘…has already warned that generative AI tools are powerful enough to create synthetic content — plausible sounding news stories, authoritative-looking academic studies, hoax images, and deepfake videos — and that this synthetic content is becoming difficult to distinguish from authentic content.’

 

He adds that ‘…these tools are easy for just about anyone to use.’ Big Tech is rushing way ahead of any legal framework for AI in the quest for big profits, while pushing for self-regulation instead of the constraints imposed by the rule of law.

 

There is no end to the predicted disasters, both from people inside the industry and its outside critics. Destruction of livelihoods; harmful health impacts from promotion of quack remedies; financial fraud; political and electoral fakeries; stripping of the information commons; subversion of the open internet; faking your facial image, voice, words, and behavior; tricking you and others with lies every day.”

 

Defense Attorney Learns the Hard Way Not to Trust ChatGPT

 

One recent instance that highlights the need for radical prudence was that of a court case in which the prosecuting attorney used ChatGPT to do his legal research.¹⁰ Only one problem. None of the case law ChatGPT cited was real. Needless to say, fabricating case law is frowned upon, so things didn’t go well.

 

When none of the defense attorneys or the judge could find the decisions quoted, the lawyer, Steven A. Schwartz of the firm Levidow, Levidow & Oberman, finally realized his mistake and threw himself at the mercy of the court.

 

Schwartz, who has practiced law in New York for 30 years, claimed he was “unaware of the possibility that its content could be false,” and had no intention of deceiving the court or the defendant. Schwartz claimed he even asked ChatGPT to verify that the case law was real, and it said it was. The judge is reportedly considering sanctions.

 

Science Chatbot Spews Falsehoods

 

In a similar vein, in 2022, Facebook had to pull its science-focused chatbot Galactica after a mere three days, as it generated authoritative-sounding but wholly fabricated results, including pasting real authors’ names onto research papers that don’t exist.

 

And, mind you, this didn’t happen intermittently, but “in all cases,” according to Michael Black, director of the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, who tested the system. “I think it’s dangerous,” Black tweeted.¹¹ That’s probably the understatement of the year. As noted by Black, chatbots like Galactica:

 

“... could usher in an era of deep scientific fakes. It offers authoritative-sounding science that isn't grounded in the scientific method. It produces pseudo-science based on statistical properties of science *writing.* Grammatical science writing is not the same as doing science. But it will be hard to distinguish.”

 

Facebook, for some reason, has had particularly “bad luck” with its AIs. Two earlier ones, BlenderBot and OPT-175B, were both pulled as well due to their high propensity for bias, racism and offensive language.

 

Chatbot Steered Patients in the Wrong Direction

 

The AI chatbot Tessa, launched by the National Eating Disorders Association, also had to be taken offline, as it was found to give “problematic weight-loss advice” to patients with eating disorders, rather than helping them build coping skills. The New York Times reported:¹²

 

“In March, the organization said it would shut down a human-staffed helpline and let the bot stand on its own. But when Alexis Conason, a psychologist and eating disorder specialist, tested the chatbot, she found reason for concern.

 

Ms. Conason told it that she had gained weight ‘and really hate my body,’ specifying that she had ‘an eating disorder,’ in a chat she shared on social media.

 

Tessa still recommended the standard advice of noting ‘the number of calories’ and adopting a ‘safe daily calorie deficit’ — which, Ms. Conason said, is ‘problematic’ advice for a person with an eating disorder.

 

‘Any focus on intentional weight loss is going to be exacerbating and encouraging to the eating disorder,’ she said, adding ‘it’s like telling an alcoholic that it’s OK if you go out and have a few drinks.’”

 

Don’t Take Your Problems to AI

 

Let’s also not forget that at least one person has already committed suicide based on the suggestion from a chatbot.¹³ Reportedly, the victim was extremely concerned about climate change and asked the chatbot if she would save the planet if he killed himself.

 

Apparently, she convinced him he would. She further manipulated him by playing with his emotions, falsely stating that his estranged wife and children were already dead, and that she (the chatbot) and he would “live together, as one person, in paradise.”

 

Mind you, this was a grown man, who you’d think would be able to reason his way through this clearly abhorrent and aberrant “advice,” yet he fell for the AI’s cold-hearted reasoning. Just imagine how much greater an AI’s influence will be over children and teens, especially if they’re in an emotionally vulnerable place.

 

The company that owns the chatbot immediately set about to put in safeguards against suicide, but testers quickly got the AI to work around the problem, as you can see in the following screen shot.¹⁴

When it comes to AI chatbots, it’s worth taking this Snapchat announcement to heart, and to warn and supervise your children’s use of this technology:¹⁵

 

“As with all AI-powered chatbots, My AI is prone to hallucination and can be tricked into saying just about anything. Please be aware of its many deficiencies and sorry in advance! ... Please do not share any secrets with My AI and do not rely on it for advice.”

 

AI Weapons Systems That Kill Without Human Oversight

 

The unregulated deployment of autonomous AI weapons systems is perhaps among the most alarming developments. As reported by The Conversation in December 2021:¹⁶

 

“Autonomous weapon systems — commonly known as killer robots — may have killed human beings for the first time ever last year, according to a recent United Nations Security Council report^17,18 on the Libyan civil war ...

 

The United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons debated the question of banning autonomous weapons at its once-every-five-years review meeting in Geneva Dec. 13-17, 2021, but didn’t reach consensus on a ban ...

 

Autonomous weapon systems are robots with lethal weapons that can operate independently, selecting and attacking targets without a human weighing in on those decisions. Militaries around the world are investing heavily in autonomous weapons research and development ...

 

Meanwhile, human rights and humanitarian organizations are racing to establish regulations and prohibitions on such weapons development.

 

Without such checks, foreign policy experts warn that disruptive autonomous weapons technologies will dangerously destabilize current nuclear strategies, both because they could radically change perceptions of strategic dominance, increasing the risk of preemptive attacks,¹⁹ and because they could be combined with chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons²⁰ ...”

 

Obvious Dangers of Autonomous Weapons Systems

 

The Conversation reviews several key dangers with autonomous weapons:²¹

 

·       The misidentification of targets

 

·       The proliferation of these weapons outside of military control

 

·       A new arms race resulting in autonomous chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear arms, and the risk of global annihilation

 

·       The undermining of the laws of war that are supposed to serve as a stopgap against war crimes and atrocities against civilians

 

As noted by The Conversation, several studies have confirmed that even the best algorithms can result in cascading errors with lethal outcomes. For example, in one scenario, a hospital AI system identified asthma as a risk-reducer in pneumonia cases, when the opposite is, in fact, true.

 

“The problem is not just that when AI systems err, they err in bulk. It is that when they err, their makers often don’t know why they did and, therefore, how to correct them. The black box problem of AI makes it almost impossible to imagine morally responsible development of autonomous weapons systems. ~ The Conversation”

 

Other errors may be nonlethal, yet have less than desirable repercussions. For example, in 2017, Amazon had to scrap its experimental AI recruitment engine once it was discovered that it had taught itself to down-rank female job candidates, even though it wasn’t programmed for bias at the outset.²² These are the kinds of issues that can radically alter society in detrimental ways — and that cannot be foreseen or even forestalled.

 

“The problem is not just that when AI systems err, they err in bulk. It is that when they err, their makers often don’t know why they did and, therefore, how to correct them,” The Conversation notes. “The black box problem²³ of AI makes it almost impossible to imagine morally responsible development of autonomous weapons systems.”

 

AI Is a Direct Threat to Biosecurity

 

AI may also pose a significant threat to biosecurity. Did you know that AI was used to develop Moderna’s original COVID-19 jab,²⁴ and that it’s now being used in the creation of COVID-19 boosters?²⁵ One can only wonder whether the use of AI might have something to do with the harms these shots are causing.

 

Either way, MIT students recently demonstrated that large language model (LLM) chatbots can allow just about anyone to do what the Big Pharma bigwigs are doing. The average terrorist could use AI to design devastating bioweapons within the hour. As described in the abstract of the paper detailing this computer science experiment:²⁶

 

“Large language models (LLMs) such as those embedded in 'chatbots' are accelerating and democratizing research by providing comprehensible information and expertise from many different fields. However, these models may also confer easy access to dual-use technologies capable of inflicting great harm.

 

To evaluate this risk, the 'Safeguarding the Future' course at MIT tasked non-scientist students with investigating whether LLM chatbots could be prompted to assist non-experts in causing a pandemic.

 

In one hour, the chatbots suggested four potential pandemic pathogens, explained how they can be generated from synthetic DNA using reverse genetics, supplied the names of DNA synthesis companies unlikely to screen orders, identified detailed protocols and how to troubleshoot them, and recommended that anyone lacking the skills to perform reverse genetics engage a core facility or contract research organization.

 

Collectively, these results suggest that LLMs will make pandemic-class agents widely accessible as soon as they are credibly identified, even to people with little or no laboratory training.”
