Today's News:


Facebooks new proactive detection artificial intelligence technology will scan all posts for patterns of suicidal thoughts and mentally ill users.


I guess they intend to flag Pizzagaters as mentally ill and start sending their Facebook friends and police alerts that the user is mentally ill and needs intervention. They may try to get people sequestered for psych evaluations against their will by getting the family to agree that the Facebook user is mentally ill. This is getting very weird...

Hopefully people abandon facebook in huge numbers. There is no way to Opt Out of being scanned either. We need to start memeing that Democracy is a trick word and that a Republic is what we are supposed to be. That will be a hard sell to normies but Democracy is a trick word, just like the trick Democrats.


This is software to save lives. Facebook’s new “proactive detection” artificial intelligence technology will scan all posts for patterns of suicidal thoughts, andwhen necessary send mental health resources to the user at risk or their friends, or contact local first-responders. By using AI to flag worrisome posts to human moderators instead of waiting for user reports, Facebook can decrease how long it takes to send help.


A mere few years ago the idea that artificial intelligence (AI) might be used to analyze and report to law enforcement aberrant human behavior on social media and other online platforms was merely the far out premise of dystopian movies such as Minority Report, but now Facebook proudly brags that it will use AI to "save lives" based on behavior and thought pattern recognition.

What could go wrong?


“There have been terribly tragic events - like suicides, some live streamed - that perhaps could have been prevented if someone had realized what was happening and reported them sooner... Artificial intelligence can help provide a better approach.” And in a post yesterday announcing the new AI suicide prevention tool integration, he wrote that “In the future, AI will be able to understand more of the subtle nuances of language, and will be able to identify different issues beyond suicide as well, including quickly spotting more kinds of bullying and hate.”


The idea of Facebook proactively scanning the content of people’s posts could trigger some dystopian fears about how else the technology could be applied. Facebook didn’t have answers about how it would avoid scanning for political dissent or petty crime, with Rosen merely saying “we have an opportunity to help here so we’re going to invest in that.” There are certainly massive beneficial aspects about the technology, but it’s another space where we have little choice but to hope Facebook doesn’t go too far.


And if this is not enough to turn the public's stomach, the glowing review ends by again reasserting Facebook's "responsibility" to implement its AI tools, as "Creating a ubiquitous global communication utility comes with responsibilities beyond those of most tech companies, which Facebook seems to be coming to terms with." Essentially, the familiar argument goes, the public should just "trust us" as this is for our "safety" and we are benign and humanitarian, says Facebook.


I've talked to Mark about this. His understanding of the subject is limited.

Ironically as Facebook continues to tout its claims of protecting democracy by taking steps to "ensure the integrity of elections" as Zuckerberg has frequently stated, it will now actively and openly pursue an AI regulated future which, as Elon Musk has personally warned Zuckerberg, will likely be the very source of tyranny and ultimate destruction of future humanity.

As Plato predicted nearly 2500 years ago, “We should expect tyranny to result from democracy, the most savage subjection from an excess of liberty" (Republic, Book VIII, 564 a). http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-11-28/facebook-announces-it-will-use-ai-scan-your-thoughts-enhance-user-safety

https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/2259473 My Submission on Elon Musk and AI was deleted. Thought you might be interested in what he said. @The_Savant

Well, I certainly don't know much about Elon Musk or what on earth he's on about, but infusing our brains with software and monitoring its activity does seem like a great way to learn how to control our minds...

What an absolutely bonkers suggestion haha.

EDIT: Since posting this submission, my internet speed has decreased a LOT. Do you believe in coincidences?

carmencita ago

No, I don't. I had read little bits and pieces about Musk, but this really opened up my eyes. A sort of addition to the microchips they are already placing into children and workers. They talked us into microchiping our pets as a precursor and softening the blow. Now here we are, Brain-ware.

David Icke has been warning about them wanting to chip us for years!

I saw the report about microchips being placed in workers -- might you have a link to them being placed in children already? I've already told my (teenage) sons that nobody but nobody in our lineage will get chipped -- if they have to move to the mountains and live off the land, whatever: nobody gets chipped.

O. And I wholeheartedly agree with your concerns about Elon. In case that wasn't clear. Lol.

http://mochip.org/ Notice the 10th Anniversary and also the Mason Logo and in the Side Bar is the Event Calendar for chipping the children. Breakfast With Santa! Wake Up People. I have known this for months, since researching St. Louis Mo. There is also one in Illinois also run by the Masons.

Thank you!

Just spread it around. I sent this to a friend with grand children and she was livid. Her kids, not so much, they think it is baloney. I bet they did not even open the link when they found out what it was.

chabon ago

Looks like they're not using chips yet. My guess, though, from the programs name, is that this is a pre-chip program -- softening up the people.

MoCHIP is a comprehensive child identification program designed to give Missouri families a measure of protection against the ever increasing problem of missing and abducted children. MoCHIP stands for MissOuri CHild Identification and Protection Program. The program uses an Amber Alert compatible computer disc to provide their child’s critical information to the parents. Microchips are NOT used in the program.

But I do take this very seriously. I've told my older-teen sons that nobody but nobody in our lineage is getting chipped. I've just started the conversation -- I'll get more emphatic when the grandkids come along :)

You are wise to start now. They are conditioning the children and so we are their only protection.

chabon ago

Yes, you too. And I will be sharing the warning.

carmencita ago

:) You are a good one. TY.
