My Sunday reflection

in #media7 years ago

I am a big fan of science and technology.

But seeing what has been created right now makes me have goosebumps - in the negative way thou...

my afternoon started by seeing this footage:


or

It's okay for me - I mean why waste human lives for unsafe missions like flying to mars etc....

then my thoughts started to darken and to think about the one movie... yes, Terminator.... so I looked around for some footage
that I expected to see but still hoped that it was a far cry from the future...


or

Like anything else we're first told that it is to save mankind, to save lifes

and to improve whatever we want to hear

or

and then it started to get a little creepier....

and then there is the aspect of how far will they influence our everyday's life...


or

and what made me completely freak out was that in fact we are already this far with humanization of all these technologies that some of us even consider to substitute real humans for such things as feelings, sex,....

Social media has it's advantages but seeing how our worlds behavior is changing because of it and everything around it...


or

Maybe Elon Musk was right when he was saying that we are already living in a matrix...
Media tells you the new trends, Media tells you what is right or wrong and especially Media tells you what is truth or fake...
Some might call it "freedom of speech" but actually it is a freedom of doing and saying anything we want to even if it could negatively affect your next.


or

It's not only the government that is manipulating us - it's us all who are spreading this virus around without knowing the results and without even having the possibility to steer it...

We are now in a timeline where everything is digitalized - our behavior, our thoughts, our jobs, their money....
I do own crypto currencies like most of you in this chat I suppose but how are they really created?
By solving mathematical problems through taking the resources of every member to create a "super computer"? ... then what?


or

...Skynet?...

Do you remember the movie "zeitgeist"?...


or

I am not paranoid or a believer of conspiracies but 1 and 1 makes 3 right?....
What are we leaving to our children?

Let me know what you people think?

I wish you a nice Sunday

Bests,

Hi @opmga,

Did media told you to think about robots like the killer machines in the terminator? :)

Yes, we can create machines like those but they will only kill or destroy if they have to follow our instructions, if we program them to do so.

If we ever create a multi purpose AI, than it will overgrow us in everything in a very short time. It won't be driven by money or manipulated by fear, neither will it have desires or doubts. It will know what and when to do to achieve something. Something we have no chance to understand.

As I see, more intelligence equals less desire to harm other beings.
