Does anyone remember the #movie #Idiocracy? themoviedb.org/movie/7512-idio…
In the movie, a #society is on the verge of collapse because it has regressed mentally and can no longer understand #technology, not to mention use it sensibly. Parallels to current #world events are recognizable. They want to protect unborn children but apparently not the born ones.

"It was a shock. A total surprise," said Nick #Aiossa, acting director of the European office of #Transparency #International, one of the continent's leading NGOs fighting for the rule of law and against #corruption. At the end of June, the Open #Society Foundation (OSF), founded by #GeorgeSoros, decided to turn its back on 40 years of #investment in civil society in the heart of #Europe and redirect its funding towards #Ukraine, #Moldova, the #Balkans and the plight of the #Roma.

Our technology should not advance faster than our humanity. 🤔
Is that another damn AI picture? How can you post it? You always warn about the dangers yourself, don't you?
Yes it is #AI generated and yes I warn of the dangers. Unfortunately, my posts without pictures are mostly ignored. I also have the feeling that most people don't really understand the extent of the threat. Pandora's box can no longer be closed. We can only try to deal with it #responsibly. I do think there's a difference between posting AI images and developing #Skynet.
I am working on a #FAQ on the subject of AI and hope to have enough time over Christmas to present the first parts of it to you. So please stay tuned and continue to be critical.

Do we really want to criminalize a large part of the population while tech companies do the same? In the end, is the only difference that #PirateBay was not a multimillion corporation?
