La differenza fondamentale tra gli scimpanzé e gli esseri umani? La tecnica o, come diciamo oggi, la tecnologia.

La tecnologia non è alienazione, è rivelazione: è ciò che fa sì che l'umano sia quello che è.

The dark horse of the New World Order was never Communism, Socialism or Fascism: It has always been Technocracy! Started in the 1930s, re-introduced by the Trilateral Commission in 1973 as the “New International Economic Order,” Technocrats have staged a sweeping coup d’état in plain sight in Washington, DC. during the Trump presidency. The Dark Enlightenment wants to turn us into a monarchy. Tokenization is flipping us into an asset-based economic system where you “will own nothing”. AI is shoving us into a digital Gulag.

In a world where artificial intelligence sees everything, the very notion of secrecy vanishes. Every crime—no matter how trivial, how carefully buried by time or circumstance—emerges into the light.

A system built to handle a few exceptional cases collapses under the pressure of universality.

We live in an incredible period in history. The computer revolution may be even more life-changing than the Industrial Revolution. We can do things with computers that could never be done before, and computers can do things for us that could never be done before. But our love of computers should not cloud our thinking about their limitations. The AI Delusion explains why we should not be intimidated into thinking that computers are infallible, that data-mining is knowledge discovery, and that black boxes should be trusted.
