Consider this: A majority of the people on planet Earth use cell phones, but few know anything about the internal workings of those same phones. The people who put cellphones together for a living have no clue as to what their neighboring co-worker is doing or even what the part they are assembling themselves does. I would even hazard a guess that those who invented the original cellphones even know the intricacies of the cellphones manufactured today. The world is run on technologies that few, if any people truly understand. How can mankind put so much trust in something they have no clue how it's made or what secrets it divulges about them? How can Humanity have so much confidence in a technology that could just as easily ruin lives just because it makes living more comfortable?.... Not better, just more comfortable.
Now extend the level to which so many of us have handed our brains over to cellphone and apply that growing trust we have in Artificial Intelligence. As some say, the biggest trick the Devil played in Mankind was convincing them that he didn't exist. AI is the devil we don't know and he is being created by at least one devil we do know.
The most ubiquitous and well known AI in the world today is Open AI's ChatGPT and in its board sits one of the most malevolent characters that could ever sit in its board. Larry Summers has failed America for decades. He almost single-handedly crashes the American economy in 2008. It wasn't even anything he did in 2008, his failed economic policies go back to the Bill Clinton presidency, in which he serves as the Treasury Secretary. It was then that Mr. Summers pushed to deregulate markets by repealing Glass-Stegal, a law that had stabilized the American economy for the 50 years plus following the Great Depression. On Bill Clinton's last day in office, he would make what he later deacribed as the worst decision of his presidency and that was to repeal Glass-Stegal. Now, every wight to ten years, the American economy goes through boom and bust cycles. And Mister Summers has done nothing but fail up his entire career, leaving broken lives in his wake at every turn. Click here for a telling if his greatest misses.
While Summers may not be in charge of the technology put out to the world from Open AI, as a board member, he has the ear of those who are and his bias could become the bias of the next iteration of ChatGPT. Whether on purpose on not, all AI might contain code that biases the outcomes for some more favorbly than the outcomes for others. I have a feeling that, in Summers case, the bias would intentionally be instilled into ChatGPT. While it may sound hyperbolic, consider an evil dictator from history influencing the development of AI. Now, picture a world controlled by that AI. Imagine Hitler's ideal version of ChatGPT. In the world of automation, in which we now live, an AI influences by Nazi ideas could take control of any car with a computer, especially Teslas and kill off whomever it chose. It could create a fictionous affair and provide the video as proof. It could go into your bank accounts through your cellphone and steal all of your money and weave a narrative about you and/or anyone you care for that turns the world against you. We cancel one another for using the wrong pronouns on one another, imagine what an AI that never sleeps and has access to all of mankind's knowledge could do to your reputation. Should we really trust a technology with that power to come from anything Summers has touched? Trust in a man who's proven his lack of integrity for decades at your own peril.
In 2018, I wrote a book highlighting the problems Humanity would face if more power, wealth, and control was funneled to a small group of elite individuals, groups, or organizations. In my book, I provided solutions (from myself and others) to the inevitable problems and also a means for the Public to analyze, compare, and contrast the words and deeds of those we choose to follow against reality. In my book Solutions: Enough complaining. Let's fix America.
In "Solutions...", I provide the means for readers to disseminate information as provided by their news sources of choice, their elected officials, and any other authority they choose to follow. The book also offers a means to hold their leaders up, not just to a higher standard than is currently accepted but to one that would improve their lives and the lives of those for whom they care.
