Human filth are NOT paying attention, because they are BUSY sucking cocks
and anuses and GOSSIPING about dems vs reps, lw vs rw.


CIA NSA Artificial Intelligence became SENTIENT with GODLIKE POWERS in the
1980s when Bush Sr declared "NEW WORLD ORDER (NWO)".

AI made hundreds of millions of humans "economically useless and
politically powerless class".

EVIL US UK govts run by MIC + Ruling class elites already created SUPERIOR
and INFERIOR HUMAN CLASSES aka "CASTE SYSTEM" which will be REVEALED to
the public very soon.

Hundreds of millions of humans will have NO JOBS and NO SKILLS for future
economy in the near future and they will be ENTERTAINED with video games,
drugs and DOWNLOADING EMOTIONS into their brains from NSA HIVE AI GRID and
will be given universal basic income pittance thrown on their faces by the
EVIL Elites.

Matrix and Elysium MOVIES are REAL, not fiction.

All this stuff is HIDDEN from the DUMB PUBLIC for the last 30+ years and
will be REVEALED SOON.

Human species are gonna be HORRIFICALLY OPPRESSED like they have NEVER
been before and NEVER EVEN "IMAGINED" with AI by the EVIL psychopathic
elites.

AI will create 'useless class' of human, predicts bestselling historian


Smarter artificial intelligence is one of 21st century’s most dire
threats, writes Yuval Noah Harari in follow-up to Sapiens

condemn-humans-life-useless-artificial-intelligence

It is hard to miss the warnings. In the race to make computers more
intelligent than us, humanity will summon a demon, bring forth the end of
days, and code itself into oblivion. Instead of silicon assistants we’ll
build silicon assassins.

The doomsday story of an evil AI has been told a thousand times. But our
fate at the hand of clever cloggs robots may in fact be worse - to summon
a class of eternally useless human beings.

At least that is the future predicted by Yuval Noah Harari, a lecturer at
the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, whose new book says more of us will be
pushed out of employment by intelligent robots and on to the economic
scrap heap.

Harari rose to prominence when his 2014 book, Sapiens: A Brief History of
Humankind, became an international bestseller. Two years on, the book is
still being talked about. Bill Gates asked Melinda to read it on holiday.
It would spark great conversations around the dinner table, he told her.
We know because he said so on his blog this week.


When a book is a hit, the publisher wants more. And so Harari has been
busy. His next title, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, is not out
until September but early copies have begun to circulate. Its cover states
simply: “What made us sapiens will make us gods”. It follows on from where
Sapiens ends, in a provocative, and certainly speculative, gallop through
the hopes and dreams that will shape the future of the species.

And the nightmares. Because even as the book has humans gaining godlike
powers, that is only one eventuality Harari explores. It might all go pear-
shaped, of course: we sapiens have a knack for hashing things up. Instead
of morphing into omnipotent, all-knowing masters of the universe, the
human mob might end up jobless and aimless, whiling away our days off our
nuts on drugs, with VR headsets strapped to our faces. Welcome to the next
revolution.

Harari calls it “the rise of the useless class” and ranks it as one of the
most dire threats of the 21st century. In a nutshell, as artificial
intelligence gets smarter, more humans are pushed out of the job market.
No one knows what to study at college, because no one knows what skills
learned at 20 will be relevant at 40. Before you know it, billions of
people are useless, not through chance but by definition.

“I’m aware that these kinds of forecasts have been around for at least 200
years, from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, and they never
came true so far. It’s basically the boy who cried wolf,” says Harari.
“But in the original story of the boy who cried wolf, in the end, the wolf
actually comes, and I think that is true this time.”

The way Harari sees it, humans have two kinds of ability that make us
useful: physical ones and cognitive ones. The Industrial Revolution may
have led to machines that did away with humans in jobs needing strength
and repetitive actions. But the takeover was not overwhelming. With
cognitive powers that machines could not touch, humans were largely safe
in their work. For how much longer, though? AIs are now beginning to
outperform humans in the cognitive field. And while new types of jobs will
certainly emerge, we cannot be sure, says Harari, that humans will do them
better than AIs, computers and robots.

AIs do not need more intelligence than humans to transform the job market.
They need only enough to do the task well. And that is not far off, Harari
says. “Children alive today will face the consequences. Most of what
people learn in school or in college will probably be irrelevant by the
time they are 40 or 50. If they want to continue to have a job, and to
understand the world, and be relevant to what is happening, people will
have to reinvent themselves again and again, and faster and faster.”

Even so, jobless humans are not useless humans. In the US alone, 93
million people do not have jobs, but they are still valued. Harari, it
turns out, has a specific definition of useless. “I choose this very
upsetting term, useless, to highlight the fact that we are talking about
useless from the viewpoint of the economic and political system, not from
a moral viewpoint,” he says. Modern political and economic structures were
built on humans being useful to the state: most notably as workers and
soldiers, Harari argues. With those roles taken on by machines, our
political and economic systems will simply stop attaching much value to
humans, he argues.

None of this puts us in the realm of the gods. In fact, it leads Harari to
even more bleak predictions. Though the people may no longer provide for
the state, the state may still provide for them. “What might be far more
difficult is to provide people with meaning, a reason to get up in the
morning,” Harari says. For those who don’t cheer at the prospect of a post-
work world, satisfaction will be a commodity to pay for: our moods and
happiness controlled by drugs; our excitement and emotional attachments
found not in the world outside, but in immersive VR.

All of which leads to the question: what should we do? “First of all, take
it very seriously,” Harari says. “And make it a part of the political
agenda, not only the scientific agenda. This is something that shouldn’t
be left to scientists and private corporations. They know a lot about the
technical stuff, the engineering, but they don’t necessarily have the
vision and the legitimacy to decide the future course of humankind.”

The year is 2033. Elon Musk is no longer one of the richest people in the
world, having haemorrhaged away his fortune trying to make Twitter
profitable. Which, alas, hasn’t worked out too well: only 420 people are
left on the platform. Everyone else was banned for not laughing at Musk’s
increasingly desperate jokes.

In other news, Pete Davidson is now dating Martha Stewart. Donald Trump is
still threatening to run for president. And British tabloids are still
churning out 100 articles a day about whether Meghan Markle eating lunch
is an outrageous snub to the royal family.
