​​As predicted, the ‘sky is falling’, Ai alarmist are front and center.  I am an Ai Anarchist; "AI ἀναρχία".

The EU has adopted legislation geared to ‘protect’ from the evils of artificial intelligence and the US Government has enacted, through executive order, Ai policies for all departments.  Roll in Scotland’s implementation of anti-hate laws with an LLMs predictive capabilities and we’ve got a real life PreCog.  What could possibly go wrong?

But I do not believe Ai is better than humans, I believe that Ai will help us be “more human than human” (MHTH).  The edge is that being human is both good and bad.  By extension, MHTH could mean more good and more bad – if you get my drift.  At this point, all attempts to regulate will force evil doers underground and attempt to constrain forward movement result in strangling innovation.  Today, there is no hyperbole in Ai; perhaps there never will.

The music industry is a good example of manmade constructs fighting for survival.  As we see more and more ‘artists’ rail against AI, what they are showing, is their deep investment in selling and fear of losing control of money, not the creative process.  Art was for art’s sake – it took agents and lawyers to turn art into money, forcing artists to chase cash.

“We reap the seeds we sow.”

The established tech hierarchies are doubling down on this narrative and business model. But Ai removes barriers to entry, destroys silos, and fills generation gaps.  Artificial Intelligence doesn’t just change business processes, it is changing business.  Examples can be seen in the advancements in, of all things, food service robots. 

Right now, today, there robots serving hamburgers and in light of the recent minimum wage legislation in California, is it unbelievable to imagine IN and OUT with no employees?

The Ai boom may be the end of Unions, manual labor, the assimilation of ‘lights out’ manufacturing and ‘one person’ billion-dollar companies but hardware remains the foundation and area of expansion for the foreseeable future.  Nvidia has coined the phrase “changing the Data Center into AI Factories…” as bigger and faster chips process more and more – Moore’s Law is dead.

Chips are one thing, but the manifestation of artificial intelligence with the ability to call on and imitate all five of the human senses and interact with the real world physically is the next step. In a word, “robots”. 

But there is more. We create artificial skin and manufacture meat. How soon before we grow muscle over a metallic frame? Indeed, how long until Ai helps us ‘grow’ Ai ‘chips? (Brains)
Here’s the summary, Ai isn’t a thing in the future it is THE thing of the present.  Your job will be eliminated by Ai in less than a decade, for some of us, in 2025. 

New toils will come forth, new revenue streams and more fulfilling experiences are just over the horizon.

Cheers!
