Sometimes it is a good time to reflect on your own personal journey through life and question everything.about yourself and the life you lead. We all have regrets later in life.The more you become aware of yourself the more you can become content and have power in shaping your destiny

As with every major technological advancement since the Industrial Revolution, AI brings social, ethical, environmental and economic challenges. The potential for Covert Digital Authoratarism scares me the most. It's great that Billionaire article explores some of that.
But where that article ultimately falters is in its slide into ideological fanaticism.
It assumes that all billionaires and wealthy actors are The Problem. Are they? If so, why? Some are, sure. But all?
There’s a whiff of angry Marx mixed with a quasi-Calvinist view of human nature. That wealth or power inevitably corrupts, like the serpent's apple in the Garden of Eden. The wealthy are monolithic oppressor. The masses are oppressed. Victims. No nuance. No redemption. Only blame.
The article also neglects a key point: AI isn’t only in the hands of billionaires. It's central to governments, militaries, and bureaucracies. Are these powerful entities, evil too?
If the issue is power itself, then, who can ever be trusted with such tools?
So what are the rules for AI? Who sets them? Who is the gatekeeper and Watch Dog? And if power corrupts, who Watches the Watchers and the Watchers of the Watchers?
If we remove all those in power, what are we left with? And who is powerful enough to do that? Power removing Power? Can we trust them, too?
We'd almost need to keep chopping down people who might becoming more powerful. Tall Poppy Syndrome 101.
Ai is a powerful weapon. And the solutions aren't straightforward. But it’s a conversation worth having. But first we must be honest about the nature of the problem. If we conclude that the problem is human nature itself, we must also remember that past attempts to purify humanity — religious wars, communist gulags, and Nazi death camps — have led only to horror.
"A conversation worth having" " The problem is human nature "
Lots to think about HOE. The Catholic church has been held as the guiding light of morality.(I grew up a Catholic) They also have a deep history of power corrupting their soul.. Nothing is black and white. Lots of grey.s.in trusted institutions.. Trying to make sense of it is part of a conversation. I think we live in a time of lots of diversions by powerful interests to keep the herd entertained with keeping the eye off the ball eg religious ritual
Some have progressed with technology and many have been left behind. Poverty and despair is every where. How do we deal with that. Lots of ethnic, social labelling built in the shaping our consciousness so we don't have to deal with it. Instant gratification hits through addictions created in our Psyche around materialism, alcohol,sport, addictive foods, gambling, social media technology etc take our eyes away from others grief, suffering and pain . The post Randy linked on where AI and alienation looks like in the future is worth considering. You might get a few robots coming to your funeral and they may end up being beneficiaries in your will. Consciousness needs to change and hopefully it will Consciousness needs to change for humanity to survive
AI has its appeal.I use it to get instant information and convenience. Once addicted to it I will become a slave unknowingly giving it a lot of power over me..It will tell me what to do so that I don't need to think anymore. Any creativity or original thoughts will no longer belong to me and my subconscious ( soul) will be lost forever
I must be annoying to many with my obsession with this topic. Sorry. I must be hard to live with.
If you have children that are important to you, it is fucking terrifying
