Riley, I forgot to thank you again for your regular surgical precise journalism. Honestly, there is simply no other source to get real info about what is going on in today's Russia.
Interesting, how someone named Graft, oh I mean Gref would represent the height of corruption.π
And itβs also fascinating how all the financial criminals worldwide are enamored by AI and all its numerous possibilities, especially the ways in which it'll further control discontented proles.π€
Every new invention is touted as something that'll enhance humanity.π
Weren't we told that television would enlighten and educate all populations, but turned into a "propaganda box." And wasn't the internet going to be a beacon for free speech, but devolved into another surveillance tool.
So if you actually believe AI is being developed to elevate humankind then you must also believe 95% of China's population are loyal believers in XI and during the 2020 US election "Basement Biden" received more votes than any other previous president.π

AI has become one of the dominant ideas of our age, and all the dominant ideas of a given age are the ideas of the ruling class of that age. The ruling class does not create all of them, but it shapes them in such a way as to be in its service. So is the case with AI. AI was conceived of in the 1950s by a small circle of intellectuals as a vision to build machines on the basis of an understanding of how humans think. Such an understanding was, and remains, a mirage, happening amid an increasing civilizational desert. But across that desert walks the restless creature of financial capital, eyeing opportunities to turn anything genuine into a zombified entity subordinated to its schemes. So, half a century after the conception of the AI idea, the big media started to execute a terminological sleight of hand by which any instance of computer functioning that is new & unusual can be called an AI.
To realise some of the implications of this sleight of hand, we might ask ourselves:
How do we feel about the words 'a new computer function'?
How do we feel about the words 'Artificial Intelligence'?
"People talk about AI as if it is a phenomenon, or a technology, or some aspect of science. It is nothing of the sort. AI is a massive propaganda campaign funded by multinational corporations to justify fascism, and the dumbing down of the population by the repetition of images and words in the media designed to disrupt cognition. Describing this campaign, this war of the billionaires against the rest of humanity, as a natural and scientific consequence of some inevitable, and beneficial, evolution of technology dictated by the Almighty, is a horrific sin, an abomination before truth."
I don't ever again want to see or hear about Putin's Christian Orthodox Faith. This guy is just a liar and a moron: an ordinary weirdo among those running this increasingly dangerous freak show
"Probably some of you are sick of reading about Gref and his deranged visions for Russia. But if you want to understand where Russia is headed, you gotta watch this weirdo like a hawk. He has a technocratic finger in every pelmeni, with the full approval of the Kremlin."
Its not Gref. Gref is just the surface coating. It is the underlying communist degeneracy that is steering it all. What is Russian oligarchy but a communist regime in disguise. Of course, it is communism 2.0, not the old KGB kind of communism/bolshevism. And there are mountains of evidence that marxist/communist movement is jewish trojan horse type deal.
Being an anti-semite is a logical conclusion of being well informed while being cognitively able.
Besides, anti-semitism is a jewish invention. There are 10 semitic tribes, but only one is into usury and satanism. So jews hide behind other semitic peoples. Much better to say that one is anti-jewish and then explain why.
Why? Because I oppose usury/banking/slavery and satanism/trans/lgbtq, THATS WHY I am anti-jewish!
Iβm invested βin every wayβ in these technologies, especially AI, except for how the Eugenicist-owned politicians of the world plan to use it to literally replace humanity, rather than help people. Seriously, if we donβt mentally institutionalized these monsters, now, today, they will indeed replace humanity, in short order, with full-on synthetic bots, plus a few leftover less-than-human slave-botsβfor total control over βtheirβ organ transplant βsystemsβ for themselves, after they finish killing off the majority. Please place this chat-post-quote on your icebox to keep reminding you, I told you so: that if we donβt stop getting distracted killing each-other, they will eventually crawl into their bomb shelters like the roaches they are and finish humanity off. They no longer need us, and we surely have never needed them or their bloody vaccines & warsβfor our end-of-times security.
Putin - everyone knows I don't use email but I want Russia to become a digital hellhole
Putin - at my age of 70 for most people the pinnacle of technical wizardry equals handling of a remote, yet I claim to be mesmerized by modern tech
Putin - many times we have been tricked by our western esteemed partners, and we know Russian digital ID and CBDC will eventually lead to a global CBDC and control, but we hope to get a seat at the table!
It's not fashionable - but count me as an AI skeptic - yes the search engines have improved remarkably and yes software agents can respond to and with human speech content - but: "Herman Gref: .... I hope not in my lifetime, but everything is moving towards this" ... well, yeah - but then who is going to create the content that the AI agents search and respond with? They are not creating their own content - it's not like a software agent somehow learned - without human intervention - how to be a brilliant banker. Think: humans playing computer-assisted chess and NOT computers playing chess.
There's a reason why the AI agents are uniformly woke. Think it out!
Leaders rarely have technical expertise ... in anything. Leaders can think critically, but whatever 'expert' they consult, will have a huge influence (Fauci anyone?). They are also susceptible to 'fads' like most people. There are people still working on 'artificial intelligence' (and getting nowhere), but most of these stories are actually about 'expert systems'. That does not sound as sexy as AI though.

I've followed developments in AI since GΓΆdel, Escher, Bach. If you don't know the reference, then you are probably late to the game. I hold the same view today as I held back then when I was a system level programmer. A machine (call them what they are) can only do what we tell it to do. Present day machines can pass the Turing Test, but all that proves is that people are easily fooled. If I program a machine to fool you, then chances are that's what it will do. Point is, we should be looking at human intentions, not at the possibility of an independent intelligence arising that replaces us. That to me seems very remote and probably not even possible.
Meanwhile, would you rather the machine land the plane (given the correct inputs of course) or rely on that thrice-vaccinated pilot who's feeling a bit 'under the weather?' Would you like your car to warn you if you're about to back over a small child, or would you rather rely on your own vision? I'd look of course, but having a machine to check my performance is not necessarily a bad thing.
On the same theme, the truck I drive (Volvo VNX) has an automated transmission. Where I used to have to shift 10 or 13 gears, I can now pay full attention to the actual driving with both hands on the wheel. Does that sound like a bad thing? Oh, and I can override that anytime I feel the computer isn't meeting my expectations, like descending a long grade with a heavy load.
There's a lot of issues here, and superficial characterizations don't really cut it, especially when they're linked to a controversial political figure. That's just a distraction, or perhaps even an agenda? Hard to tell sometimes with emotions running as strong as they are these days.

So depressing. From the land of Kosyrev and Gariev.

well, apparently some Amish ladies have discovered that it is easier to ride the electric bike to meeting then to Hitch up the horse and buggy...

And all along I thought Putin was human.

A simple question: Is Vladimir Putin Russia? I ask because you do seem to go on about him.
Another question: What sort of risks are you running as a critic of Putin compared to say, Gonzalo Lira as a critic of Zelenskyy?
Yet another question: Why is your moniker and image that of a gopnik? Are you aware of how patriotic gopniks are? For example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5IoDXrELjo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-x76HiYOCM
They're not singing in English because they can't speak Russian. They're trying to get your attention. Is it working?
Did I miss the part where you identified all that "intelligence" your title boasted of ?
.....and the more important question - have you been reunited yet with your 'chip off the old block'?
