It has been two months since this piece came out, and already so much has changed and advanced in the AI field. Your questions are now even more relevant.
I feel terribly for this woman. I'm sure she is not the first this has happened to either. I think you said it best when you stated: "There are some huge concerns about the way AI is being used and the type of future that could create if we as people are not careful, or perhaps if we don’t increase the quality of our consciousness and being."
It does come down to us as humans. Thanks for another thought provoking piece. Your work is a guiding light for me.
Ai is as dangerous or beneficial as our consciousness is. It can ONLY DO what it’s programmed to. It doesn’t have a mind of its own. When humans want to be destructive, and immoral as in this case, then ai is an insidious tool to facilitate that desire, if you want to uplift, inspire and promote healing & offer assistance to others then ai is a proper tool for that as well. Ai is neutral in and of itself. We are seriously flawed humans and our polarity primarily leans more to the positive OR more to the negative. Ai is like a car. Provides much needed transportation to people OR when driven by a drunk or impaired person can be used as a weapon to murder and mame people. To say AI is dangerous is like saying cars are dangerous 🤔
Beautifully written! You really hit the spot with how emotionally disconnected we are as humans. This is such an understated issue.. I'm very grateful for your presence and the hard work that you put in Joe. Best regards
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. Also well said on this being an understated issue. I find our culture tends to look mostly on the surface of issues, but I feel that is slowly changing too.
It's interesting because I am often conflicted as to where to put my energy in terms of my work. On one hand I want to teach nervous system regulation and personal development more as I now have a ton of training in that arena, but on the other hand I love talking about current events and societal design sometimes lol. They overlap deeply in terms of importance as we explore this subject of 'collective evolution.' I guess I hope I can do both! lol
I can’t help but wonder if the convenience of using AI as a personal assistant is a way of making the population illiterate. Eliminating the need to read or write - you only need to speak. And if you can no longer read, you will be forced to listen to audio books. But how do you know they are reading the book verbatim and not modifying or censoring certain parts of it ‘a la 1984’? Technology can be wonderful but I’ll keep my paper and pen and overflowing bookshelves.
This makes me think of cultural decline.. will we keep seeing a degrading of the way we think, relate, sense, and feel? I'm with you. Keeping a sense of connection to what allows us to exercise our minds is key. My wife is a big time book collector too! :)
I think mankind is on two parallel paths, one leading to cultural decline and one to enlightenment. We are still free to choose the path we wish to take.
Technology is accelerating human evolution, far past the rate of biology. Intellectually, most humans are incapable of utilizing technology, as it has become too complex. It is already being used to oppress entire societies, and is key to perpetuating the false meritocracy, feeding the kleptocracy, in America.
I hope there will be enough of a resistance to these futures to stop social credit systems before they become a larger part of society. My hope is we can engage the average person out there enough to have these questions be posed by alternative thinkers as opposed to mainstream culture which may limit the ways in which they think about these topics.
The resistance to technology, expressed by the boomers and prior gens, suggests people recognized the potential consequences of technology. I foresee social credit systems being incorporated into human existence, within a generation. Without the perspective of less advanced generations, there will not be much resistance to anything technology related. The mainstream culture in America is very easy to manipulate, and the easier tech makes life, the more they will sacrifice to maintain their standards of living.

Indeed. The good news is, I see A LOT of people talking about it.. which is great!

Dear Doctor Miller,
Re: the S & M “50 Shades . . .“ franchise
His childhood traumas aside, TED BUNDY had self-analyzed!
—and reported, that his deadly sexual habit was groomed into
existence by pornography (( S & M pornography )) !
Media and psychologists and sociologists had responded by
coming to the defense of the pornography/pornographers,
not expressing ANY serious consideration of Bundy’s high I.Q.
opinion.
Why not any thoughtful analyses by the professional
academics ?
After Bundy’s initial comment and public responses, nothing
more was said of it.
Pornography destroys civilized society, but PROFITS rule. And
serial-killer/cannibal Jeffrey Dhamer had been similarly hooked
on violent porn magazines during childhood.
Always mention Bundy’s own analysis, to be fair to T R U T H .

Well said. We must be willing to change as people as well.

Indeed and well said. The consciousness that drives technology is everything :)
