  • Death by Algorithm: Israel’s AI War in Gaza

    Remorseless killing at the initiation of artificial intelligence has been the subject of nail-biting concern for various members of computer-digital cosmos.  Be wary of such machines in war and their displacing potential regarding human will and agency.  For all that, the advent of AI-driven, automated systems in war has already become a cold-blooded reality, deployed […]

  • Cognitive Warfare, Targeting your Subconscious

    Cognitive warfare is no longer science fiction. Cognitive warfare is a fact of the modern age and everyone, whether civilian or military, is a potential target. Cognitive attacks are aimed at exploiting emotions rooted in our subconscious, bypassing our rational conscious mind. This is achieved by exploiting biases, fallacies, emotions and automatisms, but also through […]

  • Foolish Exclusions: China and the Bletchley Declaration on AI

    At the conclusion of the Second World War, debates raged on how best to regulate the destructive power of the atom.  Splitting it had been used most savagely against the populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, thereby ending, to date, the globe’s costliest war.  Visions also abounded on the promise and glory of […]

  • Rishi Sunak’s AI Pitch: The Bletchley Declaration

    British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak looks as much a deep fake projection as a thin, superficial representation of reality.  His robotic, risible awkwardness makes a previous occupant of his office, Theresa May, look soppily human in comparison.  But at the AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park, the nervous system of code breaking during the Second […]

  • Meet the New Normal, Same as the Old Normal: You Are Still the Enemy Within   

    Today, we are witnessing the nudging (manipulation) of the population to accept a ‘new normal’ based on a climate emergency narrative, restrictions on movement and travel, programmable digital money, ‘pandemic preparedness’ courtesy of the World Health Organization’s tyrannical pandemic treaty, unaccountable AI and synthetic ‘food’. Whether it involves a ‘food transition’, an ‘energy transition’, 15-minute […]

  • Vacation Autopsy

    There’s something about a mass-market Luxury Cruise that’s unbearably sad. Like most unbearably sad things, it seems incredibly elusive and complex in its causes yet simple in its effect: on board the Nadir (especially at night, when all the ship’s structured fun and reassurances and gaiety ceased) I felt despair. — David Foster Wallace, A […]

    Technocensorship: The Government’s War on So-Called Dangerous Ideas

    There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches.” — Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451 What we are witnessing is the modern-day equivalent of book burning which involves doing away with dangerous ideas—legitimate or not—and the people who espouse them. Seventy years after […]

  • The Frankenstein Chatbots are Erupting

    Rick Claypool is a level-headed policy analyst and number-cruncher for Public Citizen, who is known for reporting the decline in corporate crime enforcement with each succeeding Presidency. (Biden less than Trump). His latest report (with Cheyenne Hunt) clearly shows him in an unusually agitated state. Its title is “‘Sorry in Advance!’ Rapid Rush to Deploy Generative […]

  • Rehearsed Lives and Planned History

    The technical achievement of advanced industrial society, and the effective manipulation of mental and material productivity have brought about a shift in the locus of mystification. . . . the rational rather than the irrational becomes the most effective vehicle of mystification. – Herbert Marcuse, One-Dimensional Man General, man is very uselful. He can fly […]

  • “Free Trade” as Revealed in the China-United States Paradigm

    “Free Trade” as Revealed in the China-United States Paradigm

    Free trade is much ballyhooed by the US and the capitalist world, but critics have been skeptical as to whether such trade freely takes place. Investopedia provides a useful definition of free trade: A free trade agreement is a pact between two or more nations to reduce barriers to imports and exports among them. Under […]
