TECH Overlords want to control our Reality

and they do that by controlling our history.

The implications of this are totalitarian. As commentator Andrew Sullivan writes on his Substack: ‘Google can indoctrinate by simply removing facts from the ether or altering them to “prevent harm”, just as Stalin once did, in an information system in which wokeness generates a “socially beneficial” reality rather than an actual one.’ As Sullivan points out, Google is in a particularly well-placed and powerful position to do this. ‘[It] can create an entirely new reality based on the world that social-justice activists want to see’, he writes, ‘and have it front-loaded on to every schoolchild’s research project’.


Google has promised to fix this overrepresentation problem for the next iteration of Gemini. But the woke politics of those working at Google are not going to change. The likes of Jack Krawczyk will remain chastened only briefly, if at all, by last month’s fiasco. The next version of Gemini will contain the same biases, but they will now just be displayed more subtly.

The debacle also showed that AI is actually neither artificial nor intelligent.

Much of what is called AI is really content generated by a module that has undergone ‘supervised machine learning’. Supervised machine learning is akin to training a dog, in that the outcome is heavily determined by who is doing the supervising.

If the dog is trained not to bite anyone, the dog is unlikely to bite. If, on the other hand, you train your dog to bite certain kinds of people, the dog is almost certain to obey its training.

In the case of Gemini, Google trained its dog to bite white people – its coding simply would not allow Gemini to produce images that were not racially diverse.

THE ULTIMATE IN CULTURAL APPROPRIATION. and i really think that the play, HAMILTON, sparked this historical and cultural lie.

This was always going to be a problem as we moved from physical print to cyber print. Happening now.
