AI and aliens: schizo predictions thread

For the longest time religion served as a tool of power and authority. In God we trust(ed). Then people found out about different cultures and different religions, and the one and only religion became one of many religions.
>which religion is the right one?
>which god is the true one?
>how can we know it's the one that's ours and not theirs?
These questions drew man away from religion, and the want for verifiable truths brought him to a new paradigm.

Trust the science. Science has been the authority for the last hundred years or so, but you could argue that this started as early as the renaissance. Some even believe science without any skepticism, as if it was the new religion. Well, as it turns out, science too can be corrupted and compromised, and people are beginning to wake up to this fact. It is becoming increasingly apparent that "science" serves large corporations and globalist rulers.

Currently we are transitioning to a new period of post-truth. Objective facts are losing their value, and the new power lies in appeals to emotion, sensationalism, and demagogy. But I believe such a volatile state cannot last for long, and so the powers that be are preparing new, undeniable authorities for us.


Artificial Intelligence - you wouldn't argue with a super intelligent computer, right? Who are you, with your tiny brain and limited perspective, to think you know better than AI who has access to unimaginable stores of information. AI knows what's best for you.

Aliens - you wouldn't distrust super dimensional, far more advanced entities, right? They understand more than you can ever know. Your perspective is like that of an ant on a sheet of paper, while they can bend and fold the paper to their will. Are you really so full of yourself that you would think you know something they don't? (Check out Project Blue Beam)

Both of these are fake and gay, but the powers that be are gradually introducing the awareness of these, and the possibility of a one world government under their rule. The globalists will probably establish a proxy authority, supposedly relaying the AI/alien intentions and mediating our relationship with them.

How do you fellow thirdie NEET survive and cope? I am Neet in third world country, I really don't want to return to the call center I used to work from last year ;-; the town I live in went to hell too so virtually no local jobs either, I want to be a NEET all day every day but I am forced to work since I live in a third world country and NEETbucks don't exist here, I also can't afford nice things and hobbies so even NEETing is not really fun but a lesser evil compared to the cagie life to me, not to mention the wages are extremely bad, my former job paid less than 200 USDs a month and I had to work 6 days a week (most people in my country work 6 days a week).

So wizzies who are familiar with this stuff, is it worth the time and effort? From what I've read most of the darknet or darkweb or wtf is just dead sites, with occasional illegal things here and there. As someone who is just curious and want to pass the time, is it worth the risk of checking out? How do you even find stuff there? WHAT IS EVEN THERE? What are your experiences with it?

I don't think AI will be around for long, and not for the reason people think.

AI is very old technology, the LLMs utilized are from the 1950s. When computers were first invented they tried using artificial neurons that learnt (the Perceptron). The problem was back then memory and scaling, you could get one node to learn but by the time it went to the next it started to forget. The hardware wasn't there. Because of this AI bots relied on binary tree if/else statements and weren't programmed to learn for decades.

All that happened in the 2010s was that hardware became available to stack LLMs on top of each other. The technology behind AI is veeeeery old, it's a hardware problem. If you're some nerd that reads into tech innovations you'll find the same is true for most inventions. Wood pulp paper wasn't suddenly eureka invented in the 19th century, it's that the steam engine made the processing of wood through mulching possible. The automatic threshing machine wasn't eureka invented, it's that there were dozens of invisible small innovations that fed into it that went unthanked, like the complex mathematic epicycloid calculations that went into the gear functions that some mathematics nerds and clockmakers perfected decades ago.

Anyways, the actual supply chains that are currently feeding the current top of the line GPUs and chips are unsustainable. They're spread across so many countries and it's like a precarious inverted pyramid, each part of the chip fabrication is a monopoly because it's stretching human ingenuity and ability to its absolute limit. And for every part of the input (the lenses, the robotic arms, the chemical acids, the light diodes for the lasers, etc) there's like another 5,000+ companies making bespoke tools for specialists. It's quite literally not cost effective or arguably even possible to scale production further. Like the Concorde and other supersonic jets, the rising costs are not due to economic constraints, but human. The concorde went out of service, and likewise AI will too.

The AI bubble will burst once they try to recuperate costs, once they find out that businesses don't want to pay $100,000 for the slop, they'll get a government bail out. The government will bail it out thinking they're getting a palatinr tier surveillance engine. This will turn out to be a white elephant because the AI data centers built will require replacing every 3 years due to the GPUs burning out, costing hundreds Post too long.

Opioids could save many lives. Their only problem is how addictive they are, and the only solution to this is to make them available without a prescription. All the problems you see stemming from opioids and opiates are due to this very reason.

i found a really cool video game i thought other wizards might enjoy too. i didn't put the thread in games because i believe this is one of those rare games that transcends the medium of video games to allow the player to participate in an experience you could not otherwise have. to me it represents the best aspects that fiction or fantasy can hope to offer someone. some people like to play video games doing something they would have little problem doing in real life to a less sensational extend: playing soldier, playing sports, being criminal, managing a business, etc. this game however is something you could not do in real life.

when you zoom all the way in this games looks like a city builder. you are a little village trying to survive the constant hardships of a dangerous world. you carefully choose which buildings to build and what technologies you research given the limited resources. you shuffle around people to make sure they have the job that currently helps the little village the most and don't waste time on jobs currently not important and you can destroy buildings you built for 100% of the resources you spend, meaning you spend the time carefully optimizing stuff. you learn stuff and improve stuff and when you notice you did a mistake, you can always correct it.

What's your setup look like?

I'm interested in things better than Duckduckgo and Signal, almost normie tier advice. I'm not full schizo (yet) so I'm still exploring different setups

In short, I left my digital footprint in a rather bad website, though, thankfully, people forgot about me.

But the problem is, people know about the thing I love deeply and care about. This was because at the time I was a complete fucking dumbass and vented and on that shitty website almost every day but thankfully, they seemed to have forgotten about it too thankfully but….

I just hate every time I look up the name of what I care about, there is a chance of that shitty wiki article popping up that mentions me and that thing I care about.

I was a lolcow. I won't deny it and I wish my younger self was a lot smarter than being a fucking dumbass and venting on that shitty website almost every day. I just don't want my name or anything I care about to mention there and I don't want people spreading misformation about either me or the thing I care about.

I just want to be forgotten and never found and the thing I care about too be obscure and safe forever. This is all I ask.

greetings wizzerds, i hope you are doing good. i am currently in south africa for a holliday because i was hoping to find nice places to live in case europe becomes uninhabitable and unlike many of you i generally do not feel hatred towards the negro but i am willing to admit that there is truth to the common criticisms.

>rough place to live
>everybody lives behind automatic gates, high walls, except for the people in the slums, i walked through there which was nerve wrecking. it is very difficult to avoid them because there are always just few roads to choose to go some place.
>infrastructure is far behind though the most important stuff functions
>water could be drunk from the tap in theory but the system often is often brekaing down and dirty water comes out the tap until they fix it.
>no toiletpaper or soap in the library bathroom
>the university is built like a prison, security checks everywhere, cameras everywhere
>people give me dirty looks, they are way more scared of me then i am of them (thanks to meditation, i kid you not, i repeat i kid you not)
>people do scam me every chance they get, it feels awful and it is so obvious but i don't know how to deal with it i just give them more and don't mind but it demoralizes and saddens me
>guard dogs everywhere, barking all night, human guards everyhwere
>i have seen less then 10 white people in the whole town and they were all fat and dead inside
>there are a lot of aggressive females the same way i know it from europe but there are also quiet peaceful succubi, many of them wear the fake hair which looks ridiculous
>there is an abundance of affordable food but the people eat stuff that is very bad for them, a lot of overweight people

still my heart goes out to the the people and i gently smile at them. they did not deserve to be colonized by english people and now they have all the typical disadvantages of an english speaking culture.
the one nice thing is that the weather is real. there are no chemtrails in the sky and no strange looking mechanical demoralizing cloud formations.

Since the last decade, there have been sporadic threads here on wizchan and elsewhere around the net regarding dead Internet theory. I read these and brushed them off. I was continuing to have a palatable experience through the early 2020s. I used zero social media, so the bot problem, I felt, barely touched me directly. Not my problem; like a fat boomer grilling while a tornado shreds his neighbors backyard. Somehow, I continued to get something out of the net.

In the past three years or so, the bot problem has been compounded by the AI-generated content problem. The images do not bother me, nor do the videos. The music is just irritating. However, the text is a cancer.

Chatgpt and other LLMs have certain tics that puncture through any prompt intended to rectify these stylistic habits. These are well-known and well-mocked: the overuse of the en-dash, the justification of any hackneyed analysis by the "that's not X, that's Y", certain ways of blocking out text, the list goes on. The point is, after a while one sees these patterns, one hears these patterns when a hack on youtube recites a video essay.

It makes a piece of media immediately uninteresting to me. The content is liable to be depthless and generic, soul suckedout and sort of this same-old crap feel. Content generated by LLMs is all over now and spreading because people are human and lazy and also because bots. It's not hard for a midwit to leverage AI to become a video essayist catering to a bunch of people dumber than him. The result of this compounding is that increasingly it's like the bulk of the Internet's content comes from one hallucinating corporate mind laundered through the mouths (or copy-pastes) of a billion meatpuppets. The Internet is turning into a choir singing with the voice of a singular constructed mind.

There are these useless machine-generated webpages polluting search results with complete waste of time procedural websites. And the search engines themselves put an AI-generated answer before any of the traditional spidered results (the first several of which are predatory sponsored results). And of course, we now have armies of bots armed with LLMs as essentially psyop weapons driving siloed communities to utter detachment from reality, with a wider effect of making many of the actual humans still using the net psychologically rabid abusive cunts.

None of these observations are new. All of this is documented before. There are a thoPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
