A u p. Peace envoy. Posterous won't stand for that under any sort of anyway. This is k k u p Cupertino and that was Bonnie Raitt I having some notes I didn't know she could do. This coming weekend I'm not going to tell you all of a VIP fails or a play all the promos but this coming weekend from 6 pm on Friday until midnight on Saturday is our always marathon so if you are an old me and God knows I'm one. You may want to tune in and or is your voice on the happen. Your voice being expressed of my of your checkbook and or your credit card or credit cards are Ok All right hey this is could he get you p Cupertino Montu 1.5 f.m. And the views and opinions x. Pressed on this program of those of the speakers and do not necessarily represent the views or opinions of the staff or management of video station k k g p s and for the record now arest plays a week on k k u p Monday night 9 to 10 pm and the relatively recently established 11 pm to midnight on Tuesday slot these are not repeat grounds Ok very good high they've been here this is for the record Program number 968 something the demon technocratic fascism and artificial intelligence this is being recorded on August 8th of the year 2017 this program is going to be in one sense looking back in that I'm going to be reviewing. Synopsize ing and eggs ripping information that has been covered in past broadcasts all of that information but waits to the basic concept of artificial intelligence and deals with those in the context of what I have called technocratic faxes and. There is a quote from David gov one b.g.l. Well un b I a that embraces what I mean by technocratic fascism it basically means that coders and people skilled in the ways a peck Knology have taken it upon themselves to arrogated to themselves the political arena itself and beyond that the fate of people in that political arena including v. And me I'm paraphrasing slightly but that Colombian knows that people ranging from Edward Snowden and Julian the songs White have hackers so the speak blacks have hackers and the tech giants themselves have all basically made that leap they have arrogated to themselves the right to determine very important and even decisive things in the political arena losing their technological abilities and civil print civic principle and even the law in many cases be damned and again they are taking it upon themselves to impose their will on of those of us who are left being willing with the consequences pro or con of the exercise of that will. What we're going to be doing in this program is reviewing some of the ways in which artificial intelligence has been brought to bear in the political arena and specifically in the context of that loosely defined technocratic fascism and in the context of fascism self that is the looking back that we are going to be doing we are going to be looking ahead because as I sometimes feel is necessary taking a look at what is coming down the pike I think maybe the only way of preventing a science fiction like apocalypse on this will not be science fiction. Artificial intelligence has been leaping ahead and various tech titans like you are mosque and Bill Gates have warned that the Ultimately these technologies the technology is dividing from and using artificial intelligence could ultimately spell the doom of humankind basically something along the lines of the Terminator movies or other science fiction works both films and novels and short stories in which basically the machines that have been created by homo sapiens take over sort of like a technological object Fishel intelligence sources Apprentice. We are going to be looking at some of the things that have been accomplished by artificial intelligence and as I read about some of the things that we already. You know about how ai is being applied and as we contemplate the fact that all of these recently deployed technologies and some of the ones such as computer to brain interface being developed by Facebook which will enable the users of that technology to basically communicate with their thoughts using technology what is not mentioned in any of the available literature that I have seen as how they are planning on blocking that information from being accessed by 3rd parties including Facebook itself and the entities that have access to Facebook because the Internet is an open entity basically even with encryption and various kinds of security it is possible to penetrate social networking sites it is possible to penetrate Web sites and with regard to computer to brain interface that was technology developed in the late 1950 is called the neuro phone which permits thoughts to be broadcast into the cerebral courses sees people who are born deaf so that they can quote here quoth we're going to ruminate about some of the possibilities of computer brain interface and what that really augurs in the techno transparency that the techno transparent world in which we live and then considering what may take place with Ai we are going to be taking a look. At the very possibly how the world will and we're going to take a look at some prognostications by Stephen Hawking a couple of years ago and some in the written description for the show some of the musings of people like evolve Musk and other tech titans who are warning that basically by using artificial intelligence and by you by deploying it the way we are we are summoning the demon again mother like follows We have raised the devil and we may find ourselves going to hell that is the reference in the puzzle summoning the demon it is an allusion to the warning by a lot must You're listening to Dave Emery's for the record long article links descriptions of the for the record programs are available at Spitfire List dot com Also featuring information that wasn't in the original program due to the limitations of time in the context of the warning given by Stephen Hawking a couple of years ago when the be taking a look at recapping a warning that I made more than 20 more than 20 years ago 20 years before Stephen Hawking made his warning basically anticipating his anxieties and beyond that incorporating the concept of d.n.a. Based memory systems we're going to take a look at some of the recent developments in that context and when you start. To examine when one examines I should say computer to brain interface and your kids may be using that on their Facebook pages on their smartphones before long and the concept of artificial intelligence and the concepts of d.n.a. Based Nunley systems Well I think we may be quite literally summoning the demon and if we don't experiment exterminate ourselves with climate change and pumping greenhouse gases into the environment and if we do not precipitate a nuclear war either by simply pushing Russia too far and succumbing to a provocation by the oh un be fascists in power or in Ukraine or perhaps by interference either it was some cyber weapons that Barack Obama and consummately evil sponsible AK put on Russian computer systems before he left office perhaps the hacking of a nuclear power plant by someone like the brilliant Ukraine based Nazi hacker and Glenn Greenwald associates and to our own hammer aka We've or perhaps by some of our own Harmer's cronies in the Af-Am often American Nazi group that. Is apparently fascinated with nuclear weapons and you know sabotaging and or hacking nuclear power plants we talk about that and for the record 967. So that is what we're going to do and before we look forward to some of the delights that I have forecast we're going to take a look backward and reviews and information from previous programs due to the limitation of Heine I'm not going to put all of the links into the audio file here they are all in not only the written descriptions of the shows but they have been read in a characteristic pedantic fashion by yours truly in a variety of previous programs we're going to begin by taking a look at the Sussman by Microsoft researcher at the South by Southwest comic conference someone named Keith Crawford about how artificial intelligence plays into a fascist cons fought by and in the exit this article linked from the guardian of March 13th of this year by Olivia so bone other official intelligence is right for abuse Tech me search for one's a fascist dream and again this alludes to something at the South by Southwest conference earlier this year a talk by Microsoft researcher Kate Crawford of course here I w f a lot of the skipping down in the article in her South by Southwest session Pavel dog days a and there was a fascism Crawford who studies the social impact the machine learning and dog scale about how systems explain the ways that other made it systems and their encoded biases can be misused particularly when they fall into the wrong hands. Just as we are seeing a step function increase in the spread of Ai and something else is happening the rise of ultra nationalism right wing and for it to authoritarianism and fascism he said all of these movements have shared characteristics including the desire to centralized power track populations demonize outsiders and claim a pharmacy and neutrality without being accountable machine intelligence can often be a powerful part of the power playbook she said and those getting down talking about discrimination based on superficial. Facial characteristics with artificial intelligence or Ai this type of discrimination could be masked in a black box of algorithms as appears to be the case of the company called face such an f.a. C e c p t i o n Princeton's from the promises to profile people's personalities based on their faces in its own marketing material the company suggests that middle eastern looking people with beards are called terrorists unquote while white looking women with trendy haircuts or brand promoters unquote another area where a I can be misused is in building registries which can then be used to target certain population groups corporate know the historical cases of registry abuse including audience role in the day billing Nazi Germany could factor Huish Roma and other ethnic groups with the Hollerith machine and the Book of Life used in South Africa during apartheid. We're going to be talking about. Robert muso who along with his daughter back a Mercer as not only the main couple was are of Breitbart and of very very close to Steve Bannon but that their Cambridge analytical company and its parent from s.c.l. Have been deeply involved with Facebook and using bath on mining Facebook to come up with information which permits the individual classification and ideological targeting for the purpose of the sum a nation of information of millions of individuals I would note that Robert most of whom we have talking to spoken about at considerable length in the past began his work in tech live i.b.m. Thomas Watson the head of i.b.m. Was one of a very small number of phoners who was awarded the Order of the German Eagle by adult Hitler 2 of the previous disappearance of that were American industrialist Henry Ford and Benito Mussolini skipping down some of cell phones with the idea of creating a Muslim registry quote We already have that Facebook has become the default Muslim registry of the world Crawford said mentioning research from Cambridge University that showed it is possible to predict people's religious beliefs based on what they like unquote on the social network Christians and Muslims were correctly classified in 82 percent of cases and some of the results were achieved for Democrats and Republicans that study was concluded in 2013 since when Ai has made huge leaps skipping down. I'm over it we will make it that the manipulation of political beliefs or shifting water is something Facebook and Cambridge analytical claim they can already do kept Crawford was skeptical about giving Cambridge and with the credit for backs it and the election of Obama in front but thinks that what the phone promises using thousands of data points to on people to work out how to manipulate their views will be possible in the next few years this is a fascists dream she said power without accountability on quote Well indeed power without accountability may very well turn out to be something that. Is ultimately co-opted by and exercised by the very technologies that have been crafted by human beings and their thoughts sounds far fetched well. I hope to be able to at the very least cover some ground which will demonstrate to us that the possibilities of a I not only offer human beings the possibility of exponentially increasing their ability to control the behavior of their fellow human beings and to manipulate the political landscape ultimately it is my fear that the very technologies they are creating artificial intelligence will be used very possibly to eliminate humanity altogether. That is where we are going and some of the things that I want to view is the scenes farfetched and by the way there are links for all of this in the . In the written description for for the record $968.00 which will be available presently recall that when Microsoft developed a shot Bob called he why the table odd responded to a bunch of 4 chan slash pulled all white unquote people feeding information in their direction to basically turning into a white supremacist slab not seen as one Twitter. Twitter user no good pay went from humans are super cool unquote to full Nazi in less than 24 hours and I'm not at all concerned about the future of a they should be a popular mechanics of the call noted that quote when the next one the next powerful Ai comes along it will see its 1st look at the world by looking at our faces and if we stare at it in the eyes and shout We're awful l.o.l. The l.o.l. Might be one part it doesn't understand or perhaps it may choose not to understand that. One of the things that has been noted is that artificial intelligence absorbs the linguistic and ideological and psychological cons frauds of those whose behavior it has observed. The artificial intelligence analyses of real world human language will automatically make artificial intelligence subject to all of the bigotry and and flaws of humanity basically give the getting tech All right on called machines so when we consider the law must equating artificial intelligence with summoning the demon that demon they very well be learning from us something like a technological Frankenstein's monster only something much worse. And again there is a link to what I'm going the eggs are now all of this is from past programs and I'm moving the observations of Joanna Bryson However as machines are getting closer to acquiring human like language abilities they are also absorbing the deeply ingrained biases concealed within the Possum's of language use the latest research reveals Joanna Bryson a computer scientist at the good versus the a bath and the co-author said quote a lot of people are saying this is showing that Ai is prejudiced No this is showing that we're practiced and that a guy is learning it from us something to think about what sort of role models of the going to be using taking a look at something I hope to. Hive like maybe only in passing due to the limitations of time. In the program one of the most probable Well Mobbles will come from the underground right basically the rules hold on yielding social Darwinism and racial hierarchy of the Nazi s s That is very likely to be the alternate behavioral and cognitive role model that Ai apes and incorporates. In For the record $946.00 we talked about Cambridge analytical again the firm owned by Robert Mercer with Steve Bannon on its board and we talked about its parent company s c l what they're doing is using on the parent Leigh non-certified a while though I'm sure they would deny that it was that given the views of Robert Morris or I don't think that's much of a leap. They're using that not so far and big data to develop mass propaganda campaigns the print the public against everything that isn't a pleasure but if he and so the speak by convincing the public that all non Breitbart he and media outlets are conspiring to walk to the public and we should note that Cambridge analytic and a c l are developing have developed the tests the bike of the bio psycho social profiling that they were able to develop from personality tests that are available on Facebook albeit optional. Some of the information about Cambridge and with that and bear in mind that they were drawing a lot of information from Facebook about Robert most sort of Cambridge and with God and s.c.l. As c.l. The parent company of this and that is a put this company the parent company of the most are Cambridge analytical was the man on the board was deeply involved was silence in Afghanistan and Pakistan called but there was another reason why I recognised Robert Morris or his name because of this connection to Cambridge analytic of a small data analytics company he is reported to have a $10000000.00 stake in the company which was spun out of a bigger British company called s c l group that specializes in calls election management strategies unquote and messaging and information operations on quote we find over 25 years in places like Afghanistan and Pakistan in military circles this is known as psyops psychological operations mass propaganda that works by acting on people's emotions and again this should be examined in the context of the recent election we went into this at much greater length and for the record 946. The same into these use millions of bobs to manipulate public opinion quote It does seem possible and it does worry me there are quite a few pieces of research that show if you repeat something often enough people start in voluntarily to believe it and that could be leveraged or weaponized for propaganda we know there are thousands of automated Bobs out there that are trying to do just. That and about the use of artificial intelligence by Cambridge analytical and s.c.l. And by extension the top campaign and administration there's nothing analytical about Trump's behavior and you ignore tells me that press conference it was absolutely brilliant I could see exactly what he was doing those feedback going on constantly that's what you can do with artificial intelligence you can measure every reaction to every word he has a word room where you fix key words we did it so with immigration there are actually key words with in the subject matter which people are concerned about so when you are going to make a speech it's all about how can you how you how can you use these trending words one more time so immigration there are actually key words within that subject matter which people are concerned about so when you are going to make a speech it's all about how can you use these trending words now about bio psycho social profiling. Bio psycho social profiling of a laser is one offensive in which it is called cognitive warfare unquote though there are many others according the mass consciousness to turn patriotism in the collaboration isn't explains a NATO briefing document on countering Russian this information Britain by n s c l employees time sensitive professional use of media to propagate narratives says one u.s. State Department White Paper of particular importance the Psyop personnel may be publicly and commercially available data from social media platforms unquote. The use and or creation of a cognitive casualty yet another details the power of a cognitive casualty unquote a moral shock unquote that has a disabling effect on empathy and higher processes such as moral reasoning and critical thinking something like immigration perhaps or fake news or as it has now become fake news you're listening to David Marie's for the record you can subscribe to the comments posted on the Spitfire List dot com website most of them by had brilliant contributing editor who uses the moniker Terra fractal speci
