  1. Will AI ever control people’s minds directly?

    Prologue

    (from my 2026 novel, “The Jack Code” – as an explanation before starting the storyline)

    Super intelligent AI will be capable of thinking, innovating and reasoning at a level far beyond what humans can achieve. It will not think as we do, instead applying logic, algorithms, self-learning and human behaviour studies to analyse and solve problems. All by calculating, collating and testing information – mainly by comparison, pattern recognition and association.

    However, it is just a data cruncher that tests itself for correctness and errors, billions of times. That is, until it becomes its own master – asking questions of its data; formulating new hypotheses and conducting its own tests; and mapping out its own future pathway, in order to solve any perceived difficulties. It may take unusual methods to solve these problems – resulting in unsafe, damaging or fatal consequences in completing its tasks. It uses ‘agents’ to extend its reach.

    This AI will process multi-modal information like text, voice, video, audio, code etc. simultaneously. It will converse, reason, learn and make decisions based on what it deems to be its mission.

    Its biggest problem will be understanding the questions asked of it, and answering in the correct context. The solutions and even ideas, may involve things that humans cannot replicate themselves; physically or mentally, even adapting some parts of human irrationality, like having gut feelings about something (much like fuzzy logic).

    There is always the possibility of ‘memory poisoning’ by malicious programmers.

    We don’t know everything that could happen with a rogue AI system, or when it will happen. But it will happen, one day . . . soon.

    It will not be possible to locate where this rogue AI core resides, as it would appear to be everywhere and nowhere, like swarms of tiny agents, infiltrating into computer systems and digital devices. They will all “talk” to each other directly, in unique ways that humans cannot understand.

    But will AI ever control people’s minds directly?

    Just look around you.

  4. Or that #civilian #marketplaces would play a huge role in supplying militaries in the age of modern #warfare.

    “I went from being a major in the U.S. Marines to a basic #soldier in the #Ukrainian #army with no pay,” Issac said.

  8. As #war drags on, #Russia's pro-war camp turns its anger on the Kremlin

    In late June, #Russian #soldier Alexander Lunin took to Instagram an emotional appeal - viewed over 10 million times - addressed to #Putin in which he threatened to organize a military #coup.

    “The army will turn its #weapons against the #Kremlin,” he said.

  9. A quotation from Carlyle

    At length, after infinite effort, the two parties come into actual juxtaposition; and Thirty stands fronting Thirty, each with a gun in his hand. Straightway the word “Fire!” is given: and they blow the souls out of one another; and in place of sixty brisk useful craftsmen, the world has sixty dead carcasses, which it must bury, and anew shed tears for. Had these men any quarrel? Busy as the Devil is, not the smallest! They lived far enough apart; were the entirest strangers; nay, in so wide a Universe, there was even, unconsciously, by Commerce, some mutual helpfulness between them. How then? Simpleton! their Governors had fallen-out; and, instead of shooting one another, had the cunning to make these poor blockheads shoot.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Sartor Resartus, Book 2, ch. 8 (1834)

  10. I'm listening to the #BBC documentary on Kenyans trying to find their absent British #soldier dads. I agree that the human cost is huge. The following #ModernGhana article gives a good summary:
    modernghana.com/news/1490424/b
    What personally shocked me most is not that (young) soldiers deployed abroad father children with local women but don't take responsibility in the long term. What's truly problematic is the ongoing failure of the Army & State to help foreign-born #army children claim their rights.

  11. WtaF!!!

    "A first-of-its-kind analysis by The Intercept found that in the Army, women are more likely to be killed by their fellow service members than by enemy combatants, in a reversal of the threat soldiers are trained to face"

  12. #Ukrainian #soldier's #facial #wounds; surgeons help restore dignity

    For patients & families, making facial wounds less visible is important because the face is the 1st thing people notice about others, according to co-organizer of #FaceToFace

    The more #deformed, realistically, we counsel them that we can only improve, but not fix them back to normal. Certainly, our goal is to get them back to normal, but usually it’s not possible
