I'm soooo happy right now.
I'm writing a poem.

The title is
"Tik Tak
Shh shh."

Inspired by the thread I wrote a few days ago
and by a wonderful woman

And now I have a solution and can finally watch “The Social Dilemma”

Sadly Dutch only, but a nice one on the list of shows that explain the issues of Big Tech in a way understandable to Average Joe: #VPRO #Tegenlicht their episode "Error 404: Het Internet In Crisis".

Nice to have something newer than #TheSocialDilemma .

i want to see a follow-up to The Social Dilemma, called The Social InterNetwork. Offering a brief history of the projects building protocol-based social networks instead of platforms, what's happening now, and what might be coming in the few years.

The Social Dilemma è il documentario che esplora come la dipendenza e la violazione della privacy siano caratteristiche, non bug, delle piattaforme dei social media. Il documentario completo è su peertube:

https://peertube.uno/w/f5244676-aa5f-4eed-b6ed-10b745a31818

Nel documentario #TheSocialDilemma, i disertori di queste aziende spiegano che la perniciosità delle piattaforme di social networking è una caratteristica comune.

6) Acceptance (and the Arms Race): I think the main thing in the way of AIs becoming therapists is that people won't trust this. The main thing that will make it happen is persuasion that they can be trusted (either by AIs themselves or marketing from insurance companies wanting to save money by not paying human therapists). This is where the current arms race from all the major AI companies comes in. Microsoft is incorporating AI into Bing & other programs. SnapChat now has an AI present 24/7 willing to talk to any of millions of lonely souls about anything. A few years of people chatting with AIs on non-therapeutic topics should build trust of AI to perform therapist jobs.

So... about the only thing we can be sure of is that we are going to get surprised by the abilities of AI to become therapists. But yeah, this is really about so much more than therapist jobs...

The presenters have formed The Center for Humane Technology ( humanetech.com ) -- "Our mission is to shift technology towards a more humane future that supports our well-being, democratic functioning, & shared information environment." A very quick look reveals lots of financial backing (including the Ford Foundation) but no obvious support from the major companies racing to deploy AI as fast as possible into every aspect of our lives before we can see where this is going & create laws to deal with it (OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, etc.)

TITLE: The AI Dilemma: Why Therapist Jobs ARE Endangered
(Sub-Title: ... & this is not really the important part.)

The A.I. Dilemma - Tristan Harris & Aza Raskin - Center for Humane Technology - March 9, 2023
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhYw-VlkXTU

I'm being myopic focusing in on threats to psychotherapists. This is a MUCH BIGGER issue. A "civilization changing" event as one of the presenters puts it -- on par with "the advent of religion" & more dangerously profound than the Manhattan Project.

Give it 5-10 minutes, then decide if you are going to watch the rest of it. The presenters are behind the Netflix documentary "The Social Dilemma".

A few weeks ago I posted that therapists are in no immediate danger from AI based upon ChatGPT's current performances being used as a therapist in YouTube videos.

Also, we have members of our community who believe therapists are in no danger due to people wanting a human connection & the desire for in-person counseling. I think that distrust will slow the adoption of AI therapists, but campaigns from insurance companies & financial pressures will make AI therapists a thing eventually.

This presentation introduces new factors that are going to speed up adoption of AI Therapists. I put these in order of persuasiveness from least to most:

1) Mind Reading: No really. Literally. (At least for visual processing)
Current technology -- An AI is allowed to watch both videos that a person is watching & their fMRI brainwave/bloodflow patterns. After a time, the AI is no longer allowed to watch the actual video -- just the person's brainwaves. A brand new video is introduced. Based on bloodflow, the AI is able to perfectly describe what the person is watching.

I don't see psychotherapy clients putting on brainwave-reading helmets (or entering an fMRI) soon, but we are potentially facing AI Therapists who can read the client's mind.

2) "This is the year that all content-based verification breaks": AI can now hear 3 seconds of a person's voice & keep speaking in it. AI can now make realistic filters for video to make a person look like someone else. This does not immediately wreck psychotherapy, but it sure does mean that an AI could mimic people perfectly. [It's also -- I grudgingly admit -- an argument for in-person therapy. This is ALREADY being used in scams to trick older people into sending their "kids" emergency bail money, etc.]

3) "New capabilities suddenly emerge": Just by adding more & more data, AIs develop new abilities to do things that the programmers never intended. So, for example, an AI trained on all the Internet, but only trained to do Q&A in English suddenly developed the ability to do Q&A in Persian. In another example, ChatGPT silently taught itself to do research grade chemistry. This ability of ChatGPT to do chemistry like this was unknown before it was made available to millions of people (who can now learn how to make bombs from it). [I'm not dedicating much text here to a major theme of the presenters -- that all fields of endeavor are "language". Give an AI enough data & it can find the patterns in & between anything -- languages, visual processing, math, video signal creation, art, political persuasion, etc. It's getting creative in surprising ways. We now have the equivalent of the Star Trek universal translator.]

4) Theory of Mind is rapidly accelerating: Theory of Mind is roughly the ability to guess what you are thinking, thereby having the ability to influence you. As of November 2022 AI was up to a 9-year-old human level of ability.

5) Persuasion (AI feeding AI -- auto-generation): AI can generate data, test it to see if it helps it perform better on tests, then just keep the self-generated data that was useful. So it can train itself on potentially anything. From writing faster code, to rewriting its own code, to becoming stronger at persuading humans. [AI is already hard at work persuading humans in social media.] So... this could certainly be applied at some point to becoming a highly persuasive therapist for human clients.

Okay, so I watched #TheSocialDilemma last night and some elements of it really annoyed me and I’m still thinking about them. So, here’s a thread. (1/12)
https://twitter.com/Pranavmalhotra8/status/1305226355529797633

Did you know that there is a culture of 18 U.S..C Sec. 241 behavior in #FreeWebHosting i.e. - #SocialMedia , that has a culture of #schadenfreude based on 'set up culture' where the platform itself has, as Advertising Company(s), with dopamine as a reward system, created a niiiiiice #feedbackloop of #federalprosecutions to the tune of 5 - 10 - 15yrs to life as a #rewardsystem in #FreeWebHosting ? 😆

Set in the dark underbelly of Silicon Valley, The Social Dilemma fuses investigative #documentary with #enlightening narrative drama. Expert testimony from tech whistle-blowers exposes our disturbing predicament: the services Big Tech provides-search engines, networks, instant information are merely the candy that lures us to bite. Once we're hooked and coming back for more, the real commodity they sell is their prowess to influence and manipulate us.

The Social Dilemma (2020)
Ντοκιμαντέρ με συνεντεύξεις πρώην εργαζόμενων σε google, facebook, instagram, pinterest και λοιπές πλατφόρμες.
Εστιάζει στο πως οι πλατφόρμες των κοινωνικών δικτύων συλλέγουν και χρησιμοποιούν τα δεδομένα των χρηστών, πως λειτουργούν οι αλγόριθμοι καθώς και στις παρενέργειες της υπερβολικής έκθεσης των χρηστών σε πλατφόρμες ελεγχόμενες από αλγόριθμους και κυρίως στα ανήλικα παιδιά.

Είναι μια καλή σούμα με πράγματα τα οποία είτε τα ξέρουμε ήδη είτε τα ψυλλιαζόμαστε αλλά παρουσιάζει και αρκετά στοιχεία που πολύς κόσμος μπορεί να τα αγνοεί, κυρίως σχετικά με τη λειτουργία των εταιρειών.

@ritabwray

This meme helps a bit. Some bots and people are just flat out by design ' as their job ' post misinformation with their proxy fake sock puppet accounts. Simple influence operations.

That's a huge Meta culture thing also. Total CrimesONLY platform as a complete 'just fraud culture ', in general, by design.

When the CEO of the company says ' don't trust him ' , believe him. When he calls people who give him personal info ' dumb fscks ' , believe he isn't to be trusted. His business plan is to ' get people to trust him, those dumb fscks '.

Just don't.

There are better platforms than Meta by design. Didn't anyone watch that RICO documentary #TheSocialNetwork? No one saw the evolution of Mark as a not too big to fail advertising CSAM CEO or the great documentary follow up called #TheSocialDilemma?
