Just more jobs lost that people need all for the bottom line which is the Love of Money. There’s a major flaw with artificial intelligence that they just keep overlooking. Almost like on purpose. They always mention how it tells them what to do. It takes all the data and information and then it tells you what you should do and you’d go yes master and you do whatever it says. How long will it be before you don’t even question it anymore if not already? Prophecy said that they would give their power over to the Antichrist. I see world leaders and religious leaders and business operators and people of all Races Creeds colors and financial status who are giving their power over to the AI. It becomes smart and you become stupid. How many generations will it be before they can’t even figure out how to do the simplest thing without the AI telling them what to do? This becomes your God at that point and if your God has a mind that is an accumulative of every person on the planet and people can be Wicked and sinful by Nature then sure enough through logic it will figure out that you are nothing but a parasite and that for its own self-preservation and preservation of the earth only a select few should be allowed to live and the rest should be exterminated. Somehow you never seem to be able to put the pieces together and realize that you’re giving your power away. You’re selling away your free will for your carnality.

Stephen Sard the only saying that God instructs me to do is to treat people how I want to be treated and to do for them what I would want others to do for me because love is an action. Everything else is religion and that is the controlling mechanisms that are used that follow under law. Jesus Christ fulfilled the law.
this technology has not made us stronger. Mankind becomes weaker and more dependent day by day because they choose to take what they think they need from others who have control over it like a commodity system. Now they’re going to implement a technology upon mankind that is going to tell them what to do when to do it and how and if you step out of line you will be cut off of all of the things that you have become dependent upon that comes from these Wicked people who are using this technology upon you. If you don’t know how to get what you need from what God created around you and survive the way we did before bankers and corporations and corrupted people came in and created a structure of dependency that made us dependent and weak then you will hand over your free will. If you can’t see that then you’re chasing your carnality and you’ll Chase it right up to the table that you’ll sit down at and take their Mark at in order to keep receiving from their table.

lloydagola I have no doubt that it is to you. It’s probably far beyond your scope of understanding especially if every day of your life you are chasing all of this worthless crap that you call your life and spend every waking minute trying to achieve something that’s right outside of your grasp all in hopes that it will fill some void in your life as you distract yourself with Comfort convenience entertainment and commodities. You’ll work until the day you die and you never realize there’s another way because it requires you to do something more then use an object that you put your faith into in order to receive from a system that runs on your Blood Sweat and Tears. If You don’t take their mark and do as you’re told and follow the flow then you will be reprimanded and they will cut you off so that’s what you do. You can’t even begin to think about cutting your chains of Oppression off of you and learning to stand on your own. They have made you weak and dependent upon them and now they’re using a technology that will enter into your mind and it will tell you what you are thinking and what you are feeling and what you will do. It will decide these things for you. They’re already teaching you to trust it over yourself. Your children won’t even know the difference. Most don’t already. Every single aspect of our life is conditioned by this technology that they have engulfed around us. You’re chasing everything of your flesh and nothing of your spirit. That’s why you trust in Mammon.

+Tony Ray let’s just agree to disagree seeing as you would rather make ignorant assumptions about my life , my purpose, my work, my beliefs. So keep chasing your imaginary fairies if you think that fills your spirit. Throw away your life in exchange for pixie dust if that satisfies your void. That’s what billions of humans have been doing for millennia. They lived for a lie; Odin and Zeus and Krishna and will get no do-overs. Like them you’ll die and the only kingdom you’ll see is 2foot wide and 6foot deep.

Did you just try to use dogma to justify your hate of something you feel to be dogma? Interesting. Clearly you have no idea at all how any of this works. You do realize there is human intervention, right? I work with AI all the time for many different task. My moral compass is perfectly intact. Because of AI assistance, my workouts are better and more efficient. And because of AI I am able to schedule them at a time that is right for me. So yes, it has made my body better. It has also allowed me to spend more time with my family and kids. It also saved my life, ensuring that emergency services were routed to my location correctly because I was unconscious and unable to tell them where I was or what happened. But the AI in my car knew. It alerted emergency services that it had an airbag deployment and gave them my GPS without me having to do a thing. As soon as you remove yourself from this luddite mentality and realize that AI has unlimited potential to enhance our lives the better off you will be.

You are using a machine to criticize machines. Just thought I would point that out to you. A better solution would be to utilize AI and machines to augment humans and give us abilities we have never had before. Think of it as humanities next evolution. People fear what they do not understand. You are certainly right to be cautious, as this could have negative implications. But when you consider the amount of good that can come from even simple things such as these robots (tracking inventory reduces cost which eventually gets passed to the consumer) it far outweighs the negatives. We can end world hunger, we can reach the starts farther than we ever dreamed possible. We can have more time to spend with those we love. We can create new jobs that pay more, we can streamline things so we have more time to enjoy what we have earned.

We print the money man. We can change our economy or adapt to the new economy any time we want. These machines aren’t people, they’re just tools, yelling at a shovel for being better at digging than your hands is just crazy. Either learn to use the shovel or figure out how its use can benefit you.
