Matrix films & / Sentient Machines

(What you might not know about the film!)

The machines allowed Zion to be created...

(Zion = city with massive series of caverns deep under the ruined planet's surface, close to the planet's core, for warmth, power, and protection)

The machines allowed Zion to be created as a method of coping with the problem of human choice, reducing but not eliminating the instability caused by those who rejected the Matrix.

In order to prevent the entire system from crashing, the machines must periodically destroy Zion and "The One" must reboot the Matrix and choose a group of people to rebuild the city.

Neo discovers that this cycle has occurred five times in the past and is about to complete its sixth repetition.

Stephen Faller writes in his 2004 book Beyond the Matrix that Christianity is the most dominant religious theme in the Matrix films

"Zion is biblically regarded as the city of God"

Niobe explains to Neo that in the 60 years following the end of the war, enough humans left the Matrix to cause a severe power shortage for the machines.

AI = Degenerative AI ? [Article summary / best bits] 

AI article summary / best bits / skimmed sentences...

From source: "Are We Watching The Internet Die?"

+ [my added comments]

[About Reddit]
...millions of unpaid contributors made billions of posts so that CEO Steve Huffman could make $193 million in 2023 while laying off 90 people and effectively pushing third party apps off of the platform by charging exorbitant rates for API access,

Reddit also announced that it had cut a $60 million deal to allow Google to train its models on Reddit's posts, once again offering users nothing in return for their hard work.

[BUT LET'S FACE IT PEOPLE WILL DO THINGS THEY LOVE FOR FREE AND CAPITALISM CAPITALISES ON THAT - A HARD ONE TO SOLVE AS EVEN I DID OVERTIME FOR FREE AT WORK AND DIDN'T LEAVE TILL LATE OFTEN!! But not any more!"]

...ultra-rich technologists tricked their customers into building their companies for free.

[mentioned] Cory Doctorow's Enshittification theory
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshitti

Yet what's happening to the web is far more sinister than simple greed, but the destruction of the user-generated internet,

...

And it's slowly killing the internet.

โญ Degenerative AI [great sub-title]

Generative AI models are trained by using massive amounts of text scraped from the internet, meaning that the consumer adoption of generative AI has brought a degree of radioactivity to its own dataset. As more internet content is created, either partially or entirely through generative AI, the models themselves will find themselves increasingly inbred, training themselves on content written by their own models which are, on some level, permanently locked in 2023, before the advent of a tool that is specifically intended to replace content created by human beings.

... Jathan Sadowski calls "Habsburg AI,"...so heavily trained on the outputs of other generative AIs that it becomes an inbred mutant, likely with exaggerated, grotesque features.

...as its models are trained on increasingly-identical content.

...generative features... immediately fed back into Azure's OpenAI models owned by its parent company Microsoft, which invested $10 billion in OpenAI in early 2023

Generative AI also naturally aligns with the toxic incentives created by the largest platforms.

Google makes up more than 85% of all search traffic and pays Apple billions a year to make Google search the default on Apple devices.

... a cottage industry of automation gurus are cashing in by helping others flood Facebook, TikTok and Instagram with low-effort videos that are irresistible to algorithms.

Generative AI is a perfect tool for soullessly churning out content to match a particular set of instructions โ€” such as those that an algorithm follows โ€” and while an algorithm can theoretically be tuned to evaluate content as "human," so can scaled content be tweaked to make it seem more human.

Google might pretend it cares about the quality of search results, but nothing about search's decade-long decline has suggested itโ€™s actually going to do anything. Google's spam policies have claimed for years that scraped content (outright ripping the contents of another website) was grounds for removal from Google, but even the most cursory glance at any news search shows how often sites thinly rewrite or outright steal others' content.

As we speak, the battle that platforms are fighting is against generative spam, a cartoonish and obvious threat of outright nonsense, meaningless chum that can and should (and likely will) be stopped. In the process, they're failing to see that this isn't a war against spam, but a war against crap, and the overall normalization and intellectual numbing that comes when content is created to please algorithms and provide a minimum viable product for consumers.

We're watching the joint hyper-scaling and hyper-normalization of the internet, where all popular content begins to look the same to appeal to algorithms run by companies obsessed with growth.

... Quora, which now promotes ChatGPT-generated answers at the top of results),

I believe that their goal is to intrude on our ability to browse the internet, to further obfuscate the source of information while paying the platforms for content that their users make for free. Their eventual goal, in my mind, is to remove as much interaction with the larger internet as possible, summarizing and regurgitating as much as they can so that they can control and monetize the results as much as possible.

There's also no way to escape the fact that these hungry robots require legal plagiarism, and any number of copyright assaults could massively slow their progress.

It's incredibly difficult to make a model forget information, meaning that there may, at some point, be steps back in the development of models if datasets have to be reverted to previous versions with copyrighted materials removed.
It's incredibly difficult to make a model forget information, meaning that there may, at some point, be steps back in the development of models if datasets have to be reverted to previous versions with copyrighted materials removed.

Question everything they say. Don't accept that AI "might one day" be great.

Reject their marketing speak and empty fantasizing and interrogate the tools put in front of you, and be a thorn in their side when they try to tell you that mediocrity is the future.

You are not "missing anything.โ€ These tools are not magic โ€” they're fantastical versions of autocomplete that can't help but make the same mistakes it's learned from the petabytes of information it's stolen from others.

Mastodon users?... Just u$ers?

Freedom=Caring for Each Other

Mastodon vs. Google: YouTube links are killing / eating alive Mastodon and it's purpose... 

Google / YouTube links (without filter) on platforms like :mastodon: Mastodon kill it.

Kill is a strong word but if you see war outside and authoritarian states / government, then yes slowly or directly it's a death mindset to kill people off which I consider if it's long-term suffering and deliberate neglect, oppression by leaders.

Don't forget all Governments and it's companies registered to it use OUR EARNED money and OUR CLICKS for the pot of war eventually,so advertising is part of that.

Billion of users and links from us to them. ๐Ÿ’ฐ = ๐Ÿ’€

ANSWERS EXIST!
You can use INVIDIOUS LINKS INSTEAD @Invidious to filter exactly the same pages as a massive prevention of adverts!!!
TRY IT NOW!
redirect.invidious.io/

Platforms need to actively filter links AND at push to educate its users and train them not to leak data and usage from platform...

(Invidious filters YouTube for example and many Browser extensions could be listed).

One main reason why Mastodon exists is not to leak things.

Developers and users using google and it's links are leaking and letting Google in to their platform... even simply using YouTube links etc to track them.

(again you can use Invidious filter redirect.invidious.io/)

Extracting from our bodies towards bigger profits and pocketing it all is war - don't overlook this while people are starving or can't pay heating bills because they have monopoly.

You could also say it's not killing BUT SIPHONING OUR DATA / EATING US ALIVE, 'maximising profits'.

Google / YouTube links (without filter) on Platforms are killing it.

(I might need to phrase this better but take advice... and say it with love and not just blind emotions).

Leaking data / info from users OR developer accounts themselves on :google: = โ˜ ๏ธ of platform and it's people :skull_cross: )

I mention in Gargron here but respect if he doesn't want / can let me know. โ„น๏ธ I just don't use github or much else and what better than Mastodon for ... to tuning the logic, philosophy, life using it's users to change culture!
Towards proper unity via more intelligent people๐Ÿ’Œ !

AI = AI + THE POWERFUL HUMANS BEHIND IT (not just AI on it's own)... 

Remember it is not just AI, it's the powerful behind it with their plans.

AI = [AI + THE POWERFUL HUMANS BEHIND IT]

AI is a tactically driven by those that have huge resources and wealth behind it for almost certainly getting them more [which is unhealthy greed] more power, more money, more respect?

It's not just AI on it's own, it's not just a hammer made.... people are using it beyond what we can see happening and have plan we don't see until it's too late or yers later understand what happened...

AI = The same sh*t people do now but more / faster? 

AI = The same sh*t people do now but more / faster?

Do you really think more of the same types of humans doing what they do now (ignorance consumers & leaders included) and adding AI to their toolbelts is actually going to help anyone long-term or is it almost only going to just do the same damage as people do now with ignorance / greed if not suck the living water ๐ŸŒŠ from centralised places us just to 'give it a chance'? / give peace a chance ?

Points from Richard Stallman to support what I mean... 

Hi, video starts from points I was touching on about AI

SAAS runs proprietary and server owner owns server and code.

redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=

AI is mostly the above structure... and even offline not sure if it would be made using xyz technique, Can't trust from who it's made by.

And still no answer about how people can be anon. How the same switch later doesn't turn off bad.

"brute-force attacks" (was against humanity and AI advanced technology)... 

"brute-force attacks" - takes on an entirely different meaning when focus is put on the words BRUTE and FORCE...

Looking from a more-human meaning a force and attack shows that AI is more surely another flavour of the same old:

- Humans attacking Humans,

- Humans with AI etc against Humans those without AI or rejecting it.

= New tool for .

(Probably not if it's authority or industry doesn't promote it.)

Bluesky BRIDGE is similar to Fediverse and it's culture? 

Bluesky BRIDGE is similar to Fediverse and it's culture?

Maybe you think it's just like another email provider added?
(No I think)

Notes on DISsimilarities of protocal and providers in the Fediverse context...

TLDR
โ–ˆ1โ–ˆ It's not using the same protocol for a start - if it was more native then maybe, which is why โ–ˆ2โ–ˆ is important

โ–ˆ2โ–ˆ The culture is why we came here, ethics and ethos, promise of no capitalism or concretely less by saying NO to some things...

and why we came here (not there) in the first place...

-------------------
LONGER VERSION: More points
-------------------
Few people mention it's just like email Bluesky being added.... so a bit about that:

โ–ˆ Email / SMTP protocol is or was mostly the same across all providers, whereas bridging like Bluesky is a more different.

More like mimicking or tapping into our protocol which is more like tapping into our culture / ethos without believing in it/
Not believing in making it more free / less capitalistic selling out (of everything not just data).

It is the main reason why we came here in the first place and why we will also leave if it gets too twitter-like / Bluesky invaded).

If you believe in "Jack Dorsey" then he has quit the project already as a sign of what he thinks.

Jack Dorsey has removed his Bluesky account a while back and not working on it at all other than general board of council, so this as a kind of bar / stronger signal perhaps = not being part of it any more makes it more clear without reading overly into it too much either.

Bluesky =
โ–ˆ much more commercial entities and culture vs. what we defined as not.
โ–ˆ and then making the users we were choosing from come back here as personal politics is obviously different endangers us by making it 'too easy' (commercial) again and too uncultured (people who do not choose their servers on principle / no-interest in community or caring about the protocol) is just more of the same reasons for this side of the differences,

Overall lacking of care or detail in life (users and company are different) that is spreading like a cancer for all the providers in the world and it's users. So we learned these lessons many times. Don't let them in, ok they might try but don't invite them! ๐Ÿคจ

โ–ˆ Mastodon :mastodon: and Fediverse :fediverse: was clearly opposite to many things and just turning this into another kind of snoop-city is not great for me/many.
We see everything converted into the same shit show, from taxis to the next thing...

Like Icarus- are tech people trying to touch the clouds?.... 

Can you imagine how powerful and even good it might feel to have so much power at your finger tips...

Like Icarus- are tech people trying to touch the clouds in the same way?.... to feel that warm glow?

Must be similar - having a mass of electrically-charged information-processing stuff at your finger-tips that can do almost anything - lights blinking like crazy... like an extension of your own being!

Touching and even Owning the clouds... Icarus style: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icarus

Obviously can be too much for one person to "fly too close to the sun", but perhaps many will try and industry knows it too.

In the right hands, it might just win it for us as a more responsible version of the status-quo... called Fediverse but ultimately something will cut somewhere...

So I wouldn't encourage anyone to try to touch the cloud or indeed think it can be all done remotely without A LOT of conscious humanity involved almost before or in between all that industrial BIGTech...

Something more like this for real happiness:
๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

AI might just be like any other business machine or mechanism - just used by to replace humans ("replaced by robots" style)... 

AI might just be like any other machine or mechanism used by other mankind:

- to save need for human jobs
(and pay them less for more mundane jobs as a result of magnification of specialist or idiot / loser roles)

- to 'save' human decision-making (decrease human friction and get your way more often from top to bottom)

- Top-down-to-Tech-to-Public process as increasing leverage as human communication and skill and real community is reduced / replaced (although admittedly it wasn't perfect but a robot version not great either)

Like if git hub co-pilot can pull coding rendering you obsolete / useless (or good for that supermarket job).

The reason I stick to us and is because there was never really money in good things from bad / col people- they ONLY wanted to take advantage more from people like giving them debt is similar to giving job. We need a better way and even if that's cringe FreeSchool and your stuff / their stuff :) We have enough numbers to "stick it to the man" and that mentality often...
