The "AI" propagandists payroll: You can't possibly persuade people whose pay depends on Not being persuaded

The vast and endless stream of drivel on the subject of the supernatural superpowers of "AI" continues - and it will continue until the funding dries-up. 

Those many thousands of propagandists on the "AI" payroll will keep doing what they are being "paid" to do (remembering that "payment" comes in many shapes and forms) until the totalitarian system has other priorities, or that part of it collapses. 

But "AI" pockets are deep - because the "AI" money comes from you and me, and millions of others like us. They are spending our money on their project spiritually to destroy us, and materially collapse the civilization. 


This is an area in which it is wise to recognize that analysis and argument is futile, logic and evidence are futile, insofar as these oppose or fail-to-support The Agenda. One cannot persuade those whose livelihood and status depend on not being persuaded - try as you might.  


I have, in earlier years, wasted a good deal of effort on trying to accomplish this Quixotic task of trying rationally to persuade professional manipulators of opinion - and can attest that it is both frustrating because futile; and that - even worse, it is playing into their hands

By allowing dissent, yet maintaining the torrent of evil-motivated AI-dolatry regardless; the "powers that (should-not) be" create an impression that logical and evidential counter-arguments have all been thoroughly aired and considered... but these counter-arguments have been overcome!

What I try to do nowadays; is identify the totalitarian strategies as they emerge; from which point all work of analysis and clarification is done from my own interest in the problem, and for my own spiritual benefit.

Also, truth is truth. If "AI" is not a milestone for humanity but is in fact parasitic on productive activity, then it will not last for centuries and take over the galaxy. Nor will it bring utopia or any of the other predictions that people make. And it does not matter how prestigious or wealthy the people who say it will are, it still won't happen.

And so, at least for those willing to listen, it is worth realizing that basing one's life around a false paradigm is not a basis for anything beneficial.

@NLR - Most people don't have significant power in their work - it's a matter of take it or leave, when it comes to major management projects.

What matters primarily is their attitudes and evaluations inside their own hearts and minds.

And (so far as can be judged) inside hearts and minds is exactly where things seem to be most deeply and dangerously wrong.

What I'm amazed at is how so many of the rank and file - people who will not profit but be actively harmed - are < ALL IN > on the supposed magic of these computer programs. They are utterly enthralled by these computer programs and the associated propaganda around their supposed capabilities, convinced the programs running on computer hardware are minds learning independently. Furthermore, engaging these people in conversation always results in them telling me to ask the computer program about the nature of itself.

This greatly disturbs me.

@Matt - It disturbs me too. You'd have thought that, after all which has happened in recent years, people might be just a bit more sceptical about the claims of the always-dishonest-about-everything globalist totalitarian class when it comes to their latest pet (multi-trillion dollar) project...
