  1. 11:18 " the protests and storming of the government residence also shows what happens when governments lose control of an economy" WRONG. This is what happens when governments HAVE THE CONTROL of an economy for over a decade. The Berlin wall did not fail when it fell, but when it was built. SriLanka collapsed not when the residence is stormed, but when the debt was taken ======= SriLanka's population should recognize they have no citizenry, and are incapable of managing their own government. They should tender the administration of the country for twenty years (one generation) to Singapore.

  2. By confounding "sentient" with "human" and "intelligent" an agenda can/is being pushed Not mattering how much (or IF) a program is "sentient" or "intelligent" , it is not human. That means two things: a) it does not automatically receive the same rights as a human; b) humans have to act humanely towards all entities, ie not be cruel, but nothing else . We should act humanely because of what WE ARE, not because of what we are acting UPON. There may be different forms of sentience. So what? We have no tools to identify them or measure them. If we are ignorant or oblivious to forms of sentience different than our own, we must conclude that recognizing other forms of sentience is not a requirement for survival of our species. It may be fun. useful, entertaining, but not a need. There is no need to use "sentience" as reason to be "humane'. The attempt to declare something as "sentient", and by this declaration force a change in behavoir is putting the cart in front of the horses. The objective here is to create a new dimension to further restrict liberties...24/7 surveillance of the individual by AI. An AI that does not sleep or grow tired, but can denounce the individual for breaking the "rules". Unknown rules, non-legislated rules, buried in the code that is "propietary secret"... and enforced by law.

  3. Private companies are doing the same thing government does You never own your house, or car, if you have to pay taxes as a subscription. And the house can be seized if you fail to pay the subscription. Software as a service, planned obsolecense, planned failure and service subscriptions are rackets The solution is known: open source. Language has been open source forever. OS, hardware and software can be the same. Consumers must decide and vote with their wallets

  4. It is certaintly "artificial", but there is no "intelligence" in ChatGPT When talking to most people it is just "natural" lack of inteliigence. 6:15 Search engines give biased results, AI search engines will give biased results Beware of those that pretend to sell AI as "neutral" AI will be monetized, and the AI "answers" will be "promoted" and "directed"

  5. 3:20 "you have two minutes" ... So people get conditioned to obey instantly What happens when BeReal issues a "challenge"? Two minutes to take a picture "saving the planet"? "when it's time to (quote) be real... " Because everything else in your life is fake!!! ONLY when the app tells you then your life becomes "real" 3:44 "...it's not random" OF COURSE NOT... how much would a fast food chain pay for a push notification at lunchtime? To selected, geo-located phones already close to their restaurants? ".....it's a secret..." because transparency is overrated? 6:45 "for many people it's just no so easy" then focus on this problen. Do not enable loaners, introverts, socially akwards. Of course social media harms people... but it was a side effect. The true goal is social control, and this is what it looks like when stripped of any pretense otherwise.

  6. 5:00 about those key drivers Japan was forbidden to re-arm. The lack of military spending was a boon to the economy. They also sat out the cold war and the huge R&D costs associated with nuclear triad

  7. 12:00 "as our life become ever more digital" That is not a given, it is a choice. There is a wide spectrum of choices, not a unique "ever more digital" solution.

  8. 1- Caveat emptor. Dumb enough and lazy enough to fall for the "convenience" justification? Get fleeced. 2- Banks are oligopolies with high barriers to entry. Of course they want regulation to avoid competition 3- The people of #1 believe that the government will legislate to "protect" them... dumb, lazy and naive as well 4- These businesses make you download apps, these apps track your movements, spending patterns, contacts, and gain even more revenue from selling the data. C'mon people. It is not hard. Everything that is worthwhile requires hard work. The good things in life may be "free", but not effortless.

  11. DALL-E does not create art. It does as it is told If it were art, it must be capable of failing, and creating without prompt Filling in the blanks is not creation, it is averaging and smoothing
