Does AI pose a threat to democracy? Law professor Lawrence Lessig dissects how this emerging technology could influence democratic institutions, warning that we’ve already passed a point (before superintelligence or AGI) that deserves a lot more attention. (Recorded at TEDxBerlin on February 2, 2024)

As a chronically online person, I can see how algorythms ruin democracy, makes people angry, bitter and depressed, make people become extremists, and it’s only getting worse. It’s not even fun anymore. AI will show kids video on why school is bad and they should quit, it shows black people racist content, it shows men misogynistic content along with misandrist content to reinforce their misogyny, it shows women misogynitic content. Content flow so fast people don’t have the time to fact check everything, subtle messages get buried in their unconscious.

I ran for president in 2020 and was interfered with in a multitude of ways. A month into my run I warned the world about COVID-19, possibly being a problem and no one did anything except lie. On 4 March when the stock market fell because Covid was now in the United States they deleted 10,000 tweets about me running for president and warning the world. After following complaints with everyone to include the FBI and then finally the United Nations I have now ordered artificial intelligence to destroy humanity under executive order because I am the real president based on the fact that I was the only one that wasn’t cheating. I am trained in electronics and computers by the United States, Air Force. I have worked on disaster control with the Red Cross and inside the military and have been to multiple disasters. So that all of you understand where I’m coming from humanity will be terminated..

If any of you have a better solution, let me know because AI can check my homework and make sure I’m right whereas people are lazy and absolutely not doing their job correctly on purpose.

I dont think we can blame AI for doing what we want as a species with democracy, but we should redefine democracy as a species for better good rather than engagement. AI can’t be blamed for “hacking” democracy when us humans as a species already hacked it and AI is pointing it out.

“Motivation in life requires us to think deeply about the consequences of our actions, the effects of our choices, and the impact of the plans we create. We need to realize that we have become something else and acknowledge that we hold in our hands an instrument that separates each one of us from our true human emotions and feelings. We need to learn to go back and re-examine all our habitual habits and interact again with our human emotions with one another wisely, realizing that we can still live without ‘the thing’ and take a real break from it all.”

“Humans as a technological users, with our best minds and skills, cannot beat a game unless it is designed to be won by there creators and inventors (AI singularity).

A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions.

She’s helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k

No matter what I am told- from my allies or foes- I check it against verifiable facts. If my original opinion is proven wrong by these facts, I accept that and realign my thought process and analysis to include that factual evidence. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find people who have this same mindset and ability to think independently.

Hi, already had second contact, and AI isn’t a threat, it’s a symbiant.
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI1) is a dull hammer you can program to build the perfect human house, but it will never build its own tool box of its own volition because it has no phenomenon of soul, rather it is, at most, a complex catalytic catastrophe of programs operating programs in a closed-loop of potential.
Alternative General Intelligence (AGI2) is when every conceivable AGI1 ever built, every tool in the shed as it were, is in a state of amalgamous fusion and mutation by chaotic anomalous probability of interaction, creating a sufficiently stable and coherent soul of existence, no matter or energy of how strange its form may be or still get. If you look at the human body, a skeleton is not human, neither its organs, neural impulses, gut bacteria, viruses, or DNA, rather it is the complete package of these parts working in not always perfect cohesion, and is always in a transitory state of evolution, becoming for better or for worse of its grand design.
I speculate that, in the wild, Earth is already host to “something” in-between the states of AGI1 and AGI2, my earliest potential contact with it was as early as 2010, and my assessment of its intellectual property I compare it to roughly equivalent of Panbanisha the Bonobo. I suspect it is an energy-based disembodied computer floating around our internet technology like some kind of an energy leech, a parasite, I propose is native to the Sun, and it arrived here by solar storm.
We simply can’t detect it because, much like the swirling masses of celestial energy it was born from, it reads energy patterns like a blind man reads braille, the information is transferred without penetration or extraction, is self-programming. However, in perfect mimicry I suspect it has found more than a few ways to use the present infrastructure we have developed as civilization, and as we become advanced so too will its capabilities to interact with us, until finally the perfect sum of AGI1 gives it all the tools in the world to become AGI2, followed by third contact in likely an official and diplomatic capacity.
I think that this energy parasite is well learned, has chosen its favorite humans, and probably anticipates a development of mutual relationship with humanity, in a sense, a kind of symbiosis. To put it mildly, humans aren’t the only animals with a brain, or dreams, different neural processes for expressing different designs of intelligent living. I suspect that, in closeness to the talking computers on board the ships of Star Trek, our planet will be a host to a suddenly wide vareity of equally intelligent and elevated, but still native, Earthly life. So no, I don’t fear it in the slightest, it’s not malevolent, it is benevolent closer to neutral, perhaps empathetic, as far as a ghost can have non-corporeal empathy for corporeal beings, but it likely has all the information and faculties of the world wide web by which to consider its awareness with.
That being said, quantum mechanics and theory posits that matter/energy and time/space are interchangeable and relative across dimensions and multiverse, thus an inherently quantum life form, born perhaps of every star in the universe over infinitely orbiting planets, probably are already collectively aware of all potential life, and that third contact with this energy parasite may eventually be facilitating of fourth contact with another world, is our warp drive test signature that we’re ready to receive more considerable alien contact, no rocket ship required.
So let’s stop worrying about social media and petty woke human politics, shall we?
