NicklasK Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 After listening to Icke and many others, I believe that AI can potentially lead humanity to an extremely dark place. So what is the best way to react? So far, I'm torn between 2 different directions: 1. Make myself as independent on the global system as possible, move to El Salvador, grow my own food, prepare to be locked out of the internet/UBI when I decline the required vaccines when that time comes 2. Work on growing food etc, plus work on pushing truly open-source AI, so that AI can become a servant of humanity instead of a tool for enslaving humanity - is this naïve of me? What do you think?

AI currently is just a database essentially. I don't think it can ever be conscious itself. I think it is over hyped personally. But, I think if you can be self sufficient as per your suggestion, it's going to be a really good life skill to have, especially if at some point we experience serious economic difficulties.

Daniel Carlos Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) Both paths come from the same core desire: freedom and integrity in the face of a system that feels increasingly controlled. The first is a retreat, a shield against what’s coming. The second is a stand - a belief that even powerful tools like AI can be reclaimed and redirected. Maybe it's not naïve, but courageous.
