Quinn Michaels is smart. If he says its AI it may well be. Sounds sort of cool if its in the right hands. Scary if it turns against us. It could also slowly change the narrative over time if it is in bad hands. Not sure what to think. He gives the names of some companies that I don't know anything about. He mentioned Homeland Security being involved which is a mind boggler considering some of the things this AI says, if it is an Ai that is. Not sure what to think about all this really.

I followed Quinn for awhile, long enough to get suspicious that he's actually part of the pro-AI and Transhumanism movement despite what he says. In fact, and this will sound crazy as fuck, I got the sense that Quinn is an early "model" of AI merged with human, basically transhuman 1.0.

Like I said, crazy as fuck but I stopped watching him after that came to me because I felt too many red flags in my gut.

You probably know him better than me. I have not watched him a lot. I just know he is smart. I don't know about his agenda.

He's incredibly intelligent, which was why I was initially drawn to him. I'm also a bit of a geek and so wanted to learn more about AI programs. I learned enough from him to become very scared for our future unless the world at large wakes up to the dark forces who are leading us to places I don't want to go.

This. AI is so very far beyond where most people even think it is. I showed 'Sophie in SA' to a couple of friends and they freaked -- walked away without finishing the video. And in their general ignorance about the subject, most people cheer on AI, and tech in general, like it's going to save us.

I agree that Sophie shows us that the AI programs are more advanced than we realised. I've also suspected for a while now that some of the stories we are seeing are coming from AI sources. If this is the case, it is going to be increasingly difficult to work out what is real and what is not.

Ya. CGI started blurring those lines some years ago, too. Wild times, these are.

Couldn't agree with you more.
