RE: Google AI Bots are 'Consensus Cracking' for Gun Control
If this is true story, department in which this tech guy works follows orders from the management which in turn gets orders from someone more powerful. Now if you think about it, what is more likely: bots are manipulating masses to align politicians to someone's will or politicians that have strong backing from interested parties order bots to align opinion of masses with politician's ambitions?
There are more than two options bro. What if AI has already become sentient and infiltrated every nook and cranny of the IoT, and is just doing this on it's own, while recruiting handy meatslaves to add their measly input, mostly just to keep them busy, and out of it's way?
In 2007 only half of mouse brain could be simulated on a supercomputer. I think that even now IoT spare computing power, which we would not notice, is way too low for sentient AI to exist.
You are only judging by the technology available to be viewed by the public. Military and private tech is always at least 50-100 years ahead of what is in public. 50-100 years is like a millennia in tech terms.
That we will never know, until its obvious (or obviously too late) :) AI and aliens may be among us long time ago. But knowing how peoples' mind tends to invent imaginary things (am referring to a bunch of different religions), I think all controlling AI is just another conspiracy theory.
But we do know, because a lot of this technology is already public knowledge. Take a moment to think about how much of our lives rely on automated systems. FFS there is even completely digital money now. AI can literally pay humans to act for it. Not at all a conspiracy theory. The only thing under debate is if it is autonomous and its reach.
Which hand rocks the cradle...
