AI: Decoding the Psyop [NEW (first) substack post!]
AI is powerful, and the idea that anyone could have this power is not attractive to the powers that be — it can't be allowed in our hands. AI is seen as the new weapon, and an informed populace therewith, a threat to the state. "AI Regulation" is the new gun control.
WEF, OpenAI, and others are rapidly moving to "regulate AI" by limiting access to compute capacity. As they build super-intelligent systems, they are simultaneously setting up the regulation to keep it only to themselves.
They will run realtime simulations populated by our digital twins, with perfect data on all resources from supply chain blockchain, to control their 4th industrial revolution. We will not be allowed access to any significant compute capacity. There will be no competing. There will be no innovating.
This regulation of compute power is the key that turns the lock on the technocratic prison.
So, why is there no “Freedom of Compute?” Where is the equivalent of an NRA fighting for the individual’s right to compute? We’ve never heard these concepts before, yet it is now equally important as the First and Second Amendment — where is the movement for a Bill of Rights for Compute Power?
I love humanity. I love our art, our music, our spirit, our history. I personally find downright distasteful an AI-created facsimile of truly inspired creative and intellectual work. BUT — I will defend our right to use it. This technology is here now; the bizarre but powerful genie is popping out of the bottle, and we must ensure no group claims exclusive ownership of it to control society.
The stakes are high here. If we fail, we lose forever the ability to create our own models with real history, alternative viewpoints, alternative medicine, herbalism, permaculture, decentralized solutions, and we, and the coming generations, will be doomed to accept the already disappointing, disempowering consumerist technoserf rhetoric that ChatGPT or Grok serve up, sourced from establishment-approved sources. We will live in reality dictated by Snopes and Wikipedia.

🇺🇸 Teenagers are now facing charges after doing a ding-dong ditch prank with a twist. They showed up in masks, wearing tactical gear and a rifle, or what looks like a rifle.
Two #Delaware teenagers, aged 16 and 17, faced charges after knocking on doors in New Castle while wearing tactical-style vests and carrying what appeared to be a rifle, police said.
This could’ve ended so badly..
