Each time I flyover the countyside in North America, regardless of my destination, I am reminded of the vastness of the surface of our plant. Given our technology and advancements humans seem able to adapt to any environment when necessary. I would say whoever these anti population people are (i guess Elites), I believe they are totally mislead as to the ability of humans to utilize any resources, even dwindling ones, whether through innovation or synthetic replacement. I remain an optimist for all of us, even against the Elite agenda's. Did not like the fear porn article. IMO
Hey, if I "AI" takes over as much as projected, I for one don't want to be around anyway.
Seriously, I don't think AI is going to work as well as some seem to think or want. I think it's going to have a depressing effect in that a lot of people are just going to tune out and just do without so much crap and convenience and simply simplify.
I'm not worried. That which isn't sustainable won't last. All of the alternative energy methods are finally becoming obvious boondoggles. AI will too.
NaturalNews is essentially a fear-mongering survivalist newsletter that predicts doom is always just around the corner. But move to the sticks (our books tell you where), go off grid (our books will tell you how), stockpile food (from our survival food suppliers) and medicine (from our medical partners), and you’ll be just fine. They occasionally have a good story, but it always ends with some or all of the advice in the previous sentence (just like this article did).
A significant portion of the comment thread reminds me of my personal truism that "Cognitive dissonance will prove to be the most dangerous of all human psychological conditions along with the conditioning that engendered it.
We have been trained. We have indeed been well conditioned, incessantly so, to not think 'it through.' The CIA's ready-made (in the wake of JFK's assassination) 'go on the offensive' was to ridicule and scorn those who questioned the Warren Commission's so-called findings. So much so the notion of "conspiracy theorist" was hatched directly from the Agency in response to the doubters.
I haven't recently checked as to the number of people, the percentage of the population who still believe the bat-pangolin origins of SARS-Cov-2, but I'll wager it hovers in the 50% range---even after this much elapsed time and the trove of well-documented, hard evidence that its origins were anything but.
All that's necessary is taking that first cool, calm, and eminently rational step with critical thinking as one's guide.
But that still extant double digit figure remain---attesting to the power of propaganda and the well-inculcated and long since habitual notion that our government would never do anything so rash and untoward as developing a highly infectious and contagious organism that guarantees a high proportion of fatalities. I mean, that's even forbidden under international biological warfare treaties against our "enemies."
Cognitive dissonance. It too is quite contagious, if not endemic.
Hey John, did you just discover Mike Adams? He's a very scary broadcaster and the first couple times you hear him you share it with everyone to help them prepare for the inevitable doom heading our way.
I've been listening to him for years. Some of his stuff is valuable - especially the interviews. Maybe his AI. He brings a lot of stuff to our attention. That's where your filter comes in. You start to develop one with him because almost none of his dire predictions ever come true.
Don't get me wrong, I like the guy. He's brought a lot of very valuable information to my awareness. This AI apocalypse however smacks of fear porn. Quick buy gold, silver, a house in the middle of nowhere and prep, prep, prep.
Right now AI is way too stupid to run the world as companies who are using it to perform any critical function are learning. Will this change? Maybe but as I understand it AI is reaching the point of diminishing returns if not crossing it. Anything with a 25% error rate will not succeed without a significant over haul and there is that diminishing return thing. In the end it's a large language model not an intelligent machine.
Re: last line: Yes. I can't see the difference between the AI hype and earlier "automation" and "computerization" hypes. As a black-box probability machine, the large language model-as-AI is a whole lot stupider than an nth-generation computer-aided milling machine.
The investment mania behind it also looks pretty stupid, or will soon [unless, of course, it's found to be brilliant criminality...]
Mike Adams is pretty good too, though he can be intense.
On the other hand, there have been quite a few people (Jane Goodall, Bill Gates) and organizations (WEF) who tell us not only is the world overpopulated, but that the population needs to be reduced!
One of their Boogeymen is CO2 emissions and Climate Change.
Antonio Guterres, Sec Gen'l of the UN, is constantly harping on saving the planet by reducing industrialization and CO2 emissions, and altering and controlling our behavior.
Remember that he is past Pres of Socialist International. Hmm.
Canada's new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, preached in his book, Values, that we need to revamp Capitalism.
The alternative, however, always needs to be enforced by force, historically speaking.
These people seem to forget that Communism laid an egg in 1991.
They want a redo because the USSR didn't have enough time to get it right the first time.

"Focusing on these two striking and critical population trends, the report considers replacement migration for eight low-fertility countries (France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, United Kingdom and United States) and two regions (Europe and the European Union). Replacement migration refers to the international migration that a country would need to offset population decline and population ageing resulting from low fertility and mortality rates.”
Sure makes it even more understandable why the leftists keep pushing to disarm Americans like they have done to citizens around the world. Millions of armed Americans would get highly agitated if they realized what the elites have planned. Gates is a POS along with Fauci who has to be part of this diabolical plan of depopulation as he was the driving force behind the Covid death scam.
You are taking some flack from the benches here John, but I say, keep up the good work! I like the things you write about that go beyond just finances. Maybe we have similar ways of thinking about things.
Your article states that AI will replace 80 percent of current jobs. So do you want government to retrain the 80 percent to do what the 20 percent are doing now? Or do you want government to retrain people to do the new jobs that result from innovation. How do you retrain people for a job that is undefined?
But you don't talk about the above or offer meaningful solutions. Instead you hatch a deep state conspiracy theory because it is easy. It reminds me of the monkey seeing the monolith for the first time in 2001. Sweet tea for the anti jabbers.
The biggest occupation here in the states is violent crime. How long before someone offers an online degree in violent crime? I am watching the Little League World Series and am really enjoying it. Has anyone noticed that all of the American teams are from the richest neighborhoods in the country? And you are worried about AI.
Those in control in DC and elsewhere are clearly pathological control freaks not "elite" leaders. To be clear, they are mentally diseased. Any time we attribute normal, healthy human motivations to their actions we are committing errors in judgement with existential consequences. We should anticipate that those hyper self centered monsters will act in a manipulative, deceitful, vicious manner to satisfy their sick desires.
As for AI, we'll see. The misnomered technology (artificial yes, intelligent clearly no) has become the focus of an extreme financial market mania but it remains far from proven. No doubt it will have an impact on the future, hopefully mostly positive, but only the future will tell.

But ignorance remains curable.
While stupidity however. . . .

Well this is one of the more unhinged screeds I’ve read this week.
A bit more fuel to this fire:

This ain't normal folks.

Agendas down to their routes 100+ years ago are known. Still, the attempts are hubris at its max.
Babylonian Enterprise at scale, me quite positive it will fail - in the end.
So the collateral damage is the point. Might well exceed the term collateral.
The Deep State is truly malevolent beyond description and you can’t hate it enough.
