This post certainly food for thought on the eve of the Meta “Threads” alleged Twitter killer roll out tomorrow. We originally joined Twitter in 2010 but that platform permanently suspended (@metropulseusa specfics of suspension posted here on this site) so on the OTHER platform we use @mediapython we have been front and center to the “feel” of Twitter after the Musk takeover. Being acutely aware of the money making motivations Musk is forced to implement on a platform built on a free mentality outside of the ad ecosystem which appears mostly collapsed at this point we realized that he had an uphill battle. We also realized his “firehose” of data was being cannibalized for free by mercenary data scrapers so the usage limits on non subscribers recently imposed made sense framed in that context. It is a delicate dance to navigate eyeball access vs true usage exacerbated by need to monetize on a traditionally free platform.We believe the secret sauce both Zuck and Musk see is an application of these respective platforms as financial conduits for their massive audiences dovetailed into crypto/digital wallet customized applications. Zuck already tried Libra (or Diem), his own branded crypto currency which failed miserably but forged the path for this alternative de centralized “mentality” infused and embedded in these platforms in it’s demise

We have posted thru the years about our fears of the dangers of this powerful still developing tool known as AI. As we process this article posted about one of the key players in it’s development who brings SERIOUS street cred to the discussion in revealing his recalcitrance in embracing the ability of society to incorporate the “Positive” side of AI it guides us back in history. Did anyone ever frame WW2 in this AI discussion? In our view, if Goebbels had the social media techology available today THEN, his ability to “buffalo” the masses we have seen today would have been unquestioned then. And if Hitler was in control of Google or Microsoft or Apple OS systems his control over the basic infrastructure functions of society would have been absolute and applied as weapons of war we would all be German suburbs of Berlin today. One could effectively argue that in today’s world there are characters who espouse world domination and at THIS cusp of history are actively pursuing that very desired domination in the control of this society changing technology, evidenced by the state sponsored hacking teams who have repeatedly crippled our infrastructure and held us hostage.We believe as skeptics there is serious doubt as to the security of the Dominion and Smartmatic election systems based on these repeated violations of supposed secure systems elsewhere REPEATEDLY. AI could breed the next Hitler with the tools of COMPLETE society at the disposal of the “winner” of this race. It scares us that China bought the Biden crime family at this point in history and has openly courted our tech titans to potentially corral this revolutionary tech for their insidious objectives. If the so called Bilderburg globalists ever had a shot at pulling off their clearly stated objectives (Read WEF mandates and projections) with the wealth of the world super concentrated in the 1% and that capital available only to them required to develop and CONTROL AI it is indeed a scary scenario moving forward for us all.
