How did the British win the Battle of Britain?

How did the British win the Battle of Britain? It was looking extremely tentative at first. The Luftwaffe was sending wave after wave of bombers that were focused on air fields and radar stations which really wore the British down. The air fields were caught unprepared taking heavy losses with one big issue being the advanced warning systems to allow for the pilots to get into the air to defend against the bombers. It was really tight for a while where the British had a hard time getting planes into the air fast enough and getting them assembled fast enough in order to be able to replace the losses that were taken in the beginning of the battle. Due to the Nazis having near air superiority over Britain it was decided that aircraft production would be splintered into pieces of industry that were scattered across Britian which would serve to lower losses when the factories were targeted. One of the costs of assembling in pieces scattered is that the logistics of moving the pieces so they...

What makes you afraid of AI?

 

What makes you afraid of AI?


I’ll give you one quick scenario that should help you understand the threat that we have upon us, and this is only from one particular angle — this isn’t the only thing it can do.

An AI that can instantly look at your web history, analyze your phone calls, your text messages, your spending habits, your travel habits, what time you leave for work, what time you get home, how often you stay out late, and then makes a profile of you which it then cross references with the people’s profiles you hang out with and it then determines the likelihood of you having too many drinks tonight because you always do or worse.

It profiles you and now it knows what Meyers Briggs type you are only much more precise. Given it knows you fairly well for using your phone calls, and conversations, aligning them with what you truly did, where you truly went, and figuring out just exactly how much you lie, how often you lie, and what you’re the most likely to lie about you’ve got yourself a manipulators dream.

Now, with this AI someone can set up a certain set of conditions which will most likely lead you to break the law, to lie, to do something you otherwise would never have done. Now, predicting what your actions were going to be and funneling you towards that outcome — the blackmailer sets it up so you have just what you need to go and steal that trophy, or sleep with that sexy young woman, etc. and they catch you live on film not once, but many times to make sure that you can’t weasel out of it.

Then, the AI sends you a message on your phone — the message is at a specific time and written at a specific way, using specific words which are most likely to cause you the most distress and panic — as it chose the worst time to give you the worst news and it knew that you would be desperate to keep your secrets quiet — now you’re officially paying 30% of your salary to some ‘church’ for the rest of your life as a happy member of society

That there would be one of a billion scenarios that this thing can do. It’ll be able to set you up and anticipate your actions and with the right motivated ‘gang stalker’ type on you then they can artificially create all the situations they need to in order to guarantee that they get dirt on you and then you are their slave.

Slavery — that is why I fear AI

What is the Most Dangerous Situation You Ever Willfully Put Yourself Into?

  What is the Most Dangerous Situation You Ever Willfully Put Yourself Into? Photo by  Vincentiu Solomon  on  Unsplash I parachuted in behind enemy lines for what would turn out to be a near suicide mission. As soon as I landed I could see that the enemy was everywhere. I immediately began to look for cover to assess the situation. At first I was greeted by an eerie silence but then suddenly out of the blue I heard this blood curdling battle cry, which I could tell instantly it was the enemy. If these people found me I feared it would mean certain death, little did I know what I had coming in my future. I quickly found myself some cover and slid up tight between this green gawdy plant thing and what I could only assume was a tree or something as it was extremely hard and immovable. I never took the time to analyze it. Instead, I pressed up against it as tight as I could and I depended on the shadows to conceal what the tree and the plant thing had left in the open. O...

Why do you think that the US could lose it’s top position as a world leader?

  Why do you think that the US could lose it’s top position as a world leader? Photo by Kenny Eliason on Unsplash Sadly, some of the things you have been saying are good assessments of the situation and I believe there is credibility there for why the US is on a down spiral. #1) The Russians figured something out quite a while ago and they ran an experiment in the US in 2016 to see if it was true. People go up in arms that it was to mess with the election and yes, it was partly but that wasn’t the point in itself. By getting that hacker team to focus on the US they were able to spread disinformation and sow seeds of discord that had incalculable effects moving forwards. That hacker group a) showed the world that the US was vulnerable b) it showed that democracy has some major weaknesses that can be exploited c) it showed the threat of total free speech and free speech of the press d) it made the American electoral system seem fraudulent, or at very least not a credible and fa...

What are the potential drawbacks of nationalizing an industry?

 What are the potential drawbacks of nationalizing an industry? It depends on what industry and what the purpose of nationalizing it is. The industries that it makes the most sense to nationalize have some criteria in my opinion: They should be static industries that do not change very much or very quickly in terms of the core of it’s business. It should be an industry that is key to public security, public safety, or the public’s interest. It should be something that is mammoth in size so that it doesn’t affect any small businesses by having it nationalized. It should add value by nationalizing it - such as continuity, consistency, stability etc. There should be a pain point that is needing to be addressed that centralizing that industry under the government addresses it. It should be specialized enough that there is not a lot of competition. It wouldn’t be small business or medium businesses getting put out of business - it should be an industry where it would be cost prohibitive...
