It is fun, but doing so is just feeding AI more and more info, good or bad.
The bots are actively scraping every internet site - even the dark web. They already have more than enough big data, but they will keep collecting it. Humans are the ones in the test bed being observed. It is going to be an interesting future...

I have said it for years, technology will be the end of the human race. Majority of people are losing the ability to think for themselves, and common sense is a thing of the past. Too many people have the belief that if it is on the internet it must be true.

I read where Abe Lincoln posted that very sentiment on Instagram once!

So true every generation says the same thing, but the way things are going it has to end sooner then later.

When they login, do they have to prove that they are a machine??

Captain Kirk taught us how to handle AI, you just have to hit them with "every thing i say is a lie" , then when they think 🤔 about it, they overload and shut down... easy peasy!

We're getting closer and closer every year. Many kids can't tell time by an analog clock and need a digital one and don't even think they can make change if the register doesn't tell them how much. They have no clue how to read cursive writing and have their head buried in the phones all the time that they have no social skills. I keep seeing memes that say (paraphrasing) "why are you calling my phone and not texting me". 🤦‍♂️ I was at Costco a couple weeks ago and was trying to get a refund for the Cheerios I bought the week prior because they were on sale now. The guy (looked like late 20's/early 30's) doing it could not spell Cheerios! He kept typing it into the computer and couldn't find the item and asked me if I knew how to spell it. o_O Seriously, what the heck are they teaching these kids in school now? It's a rhetorical question I already know. :facepalm:


Every company now has a super annoying automated answering system. After going through 50 darn prompts you'll finally get a live person who you can't understand. I swear they do this so you get frustrated and hang up and use their online chat. :angry:

Here's a simple mental exercise....

Maybe the AI computers will simply assimilate us!! Nanobot remote control! And if they are very good at it you won't even know that you've been modified. Of course once you been genetically modified, you can be patented as you are no longer a human. Owned like a piece of furniture.

Does the phrase "You will own nothing and you will be happy" ring a bell?

The government already has allowed researchers the right to bypass informed consent on test subjects in certain "harmless" tests... way back in 2016.

Section 3024 of the 21st Century Cures Act allows researchers to "waive the requirement for informed consent in clinical trials when the testing poses no more than minimal risk to participants and includes safeguards to protect their rights and welfare."
IMHO, This is a slippery slope.
  1. “Minimal risk” is a judgment call
    • Even with a legal definition, humans still interpret it.
    • What feels “routine” to clinicians or researchers may not feel routine to participants.
  2. Normalization creep
    • Once consent is waived for some studies, it becomes easier to justify it for slightly riskier ones.
    • Over time, the exception risks becoming the norm.
  3. Asymmetry of power
    • Participants often don’t know research is happening.
    • Researchers and institutions benefit; participants carry the risk — even if small.
  4. History matters
    • Past abuses in medical research started with claims of low risk or public good.
    • That’s why people are understandably wary of any erosion of consent.
History may not repeat, but it does rhyme. And technology is simply an amplifer of the human heart.

The doomsday clock for 2026 is now 85 seconds to midnight, shortest its ever been. So why are we worried about the 1080r

They don't really understand what they are saying - it sounds very realistic but there really is no intelligence behind it. I think you give them too much credit.
Yeah, I think you may be correct. The bots seem to be more intelligent than the average biologic I deal with on a daily basis... :crackup: they can't tell time, write a sentence, and have the attention span of a gnat.
