Artificial Intelligence, AI, is such the “in” thing now. You just can’t get away from it. AI art, AI music, AI writing. It is everywhere. And let’s not forget about Robots, Terminators, and Sex Dolls who can whisper sweet nothings into your ear. How delightful the world is becoming! And it’s all for fun and entertainment, isn’t it? Yeah, right.
Of course, what we, the peons, are told and exposed to starts out as fun and entertainment. Smartphones to play games on and sort out all sorts of fun things, ChatGPT to write our homework for us, and automatic cars that will come and pick us up after we go shopping or have a meal, to name only three of the myriad ways robotics and AI are coming into our lives However, nothing has come along yet that is anything at all like the Terminator robot. Those types are just in the movies. Yeah, right.
We are not as cognizant of the thousands of things AI is a part of in our everyday life. Robots have been building our cars and such for quite some time. Although we know about these things, we are not fully conscious of the manner in which they are taking over the world. We suspect it, but we are just now becoming more aware.
And if we listen to Elon Musk and those like him, we are being adequately warned.
AI is not just a computer program, or some metal contraption welding on car bumpers, it’s a lot more than that these days. Its current brilliance is that it can second-guess us—apparently it can actually “think.” It has a “mind of its own” and is designed to make humans irrelevant, not just in the hard labor force, but everywhere.
Sure, sure, sure, we are told that just isn’t the case—that it isn’t as bad as all that. We are told AI is a tool, something we all can benefit from. The carrot is being dangled in all of its wonder and brilliance. I am certain the stick will be just as wonderful and equally brilliant—and ultimately deadly
We may not reach a point where robots actually take over with the intent of destroying all of the “flawed and useless” humans. That is a common Science Fiction theme. I don’t think it has to come to that (but it certainly may).
What I do believe it will come to, and quite soon at that, is the death of humanity The broad stroke will be the elimination of what makes us human, and more than likely, few of us will even notice. The ones who do notice will go underground (maybe quite literally ala The Matrix or Robocop). And then start the whole human nonsense over again. Well, maybe the second time around (or the 3rd? or 4th?) will not be “nonsense”—let’s hope we learn from our mistakes.
So, most that we, as consumers, are aware of is the fun and entertaining part of AI, or the boring and “who cares” areas that takes over laborer’s jobs. What about AI and robotics showing up in areas that are not “fun and entertainment?” How about in law enforcement and the military? Clearly, it is making its debut in these places as well. And when it has reached its zenith here, it isn’t going to be pretty.
Everyone, I think, is familiar with the robot dog being developed by the police. This robot is presently assigned rather benign duties—patrols in parks, bomb disposal, and surveillance and reconnaissance. But there are plans to arm them and use them for more “paws on” situations. The police also use other robotics for various things such as aerial surveillance, negotiations in hostage situations, and even giving out traffic tickets.
Getting back to arming Police Fido, they have already implemented some robodogs with tear gas, tasers, and nets. A special Chinese police dog (well, not really a “dog”) is currently rolling through the streets of Wenzhou in Zhejiang province. This thing is being used to even chase down suspects, reaching a speed of 22 miles per hour. Not as cute as a dog by any means, but apparently just as, if not more, effective.
On the law prosecution and defense front, I just read about some lawyer in British Columbia being called on the carpet for using ChatGPT to generate “made up” court cases. They apparently used this false information in court on a high-profile family dispute. The lawyer claimed she was not intentionally trying to deceive, but was found liable anyway.
Although using AI in legal proceedings is not yet a “thing to do,” I can see the writing on the wall pretty clearly. Robots used in law enforcement is a no-brainer, but using robots, or other forms of AI, in court proceedings is in its infancy. But mark my words, it will be developed to do anything a human is currently doing.
Who wouldn’t want to have an AI-equipped robot lawyer which will have in its programming every court precedent known to man and will be able to utilize impersonal logic in its argument? A jury of robots is also a given—talk about the impartial judgement of the presented facts. Oh whoopie! What a time we will all soon have! Most criminals won’t even get to court; they will be mowed down by Rover out in the field while committing the crime—no need for a trial considering the righteous accuracy and computer discernment of Robocops.
The military is not even worth quibbling about.
They are designed to kill the enemy, so any way they can do that without causing too much casualty on the “good” side, then what the hell, bring ‘em on. Military conflicts have already lost all ethical considerations (how can killing people ever be ethical?) with drone warfare—sitting in Maryland pressing buttons to kill people in Pakistan (or anywhere else for that matter)—then why not have robots and other remote devices out in the field doing the genocide for us?
Am I making too much of this? I mean criminals are criminals, aren’t they? Shouldn’t they be apprehended in the most efficient and safe way possible? (Safe to human police officers.) The military is in the business of killing the enemy, primarily so the enemy doesn’t kill us. Isn’t any way we do this effectively and efficiently a plus?
I don’t think so. Militarizing the police in any situation leads to bad things. Look at this historically. A militarized police force does not typically mitigate crime, but instead facilitates the policing and controlling of ordinary, innocent, citizens. Police forces are instruments of those in power, generally local and federal governments. If we can trust them, then we can trust the police to do what they do, for us, their employers. But since when can we trust governments? We never have been able to, and we never should. If they get too much power, that power will ultimately be used against us. We are seeing this clearly around the world today.
Robofido is not a good idea. Nor is it a good idea for AI and robotics to become an integral part of policing or enforcing the law. AI and robotics have no place in the court system where guilt or innocence is decided.
Yes, we may be a long way from AI making its mark in the judicial system, but its beginnings are there, and we must continue to be aware of its progress.
AI, as we see its implementation today, is a scourge. How we will effectively and ethically deal with this, I don’t know. But deal with it we must, before it is too late. As cliche as that sounds, we must not let this pass us by without serious action.

Everyone who writes about “AI” is always talking out their arse. “Robots have been building our cars and such for quite some time.” What’s “and such”? And I think all the slaves in the car factories would argue against “robots” building the cars. There are no such things as robots. Not what you mean anyway. There are robotic arms that do one repetitive thing. That’s not a robot. Your phone is more “intelligent”. Or do you think your phone is an “AI robot”?
“Its current brilliance is that it can second-guess us—apparently it can actually “think.”
Apparantly? Think? It’s simple to disprove. “Ask” it for something that would actually be of help. In computers they say shit in, shit out. That’s what “AI” is. What they’re spending billions to build in your country is the control grid, to process 24 hour a day facial recognition for EVERYONE in your “smart cities”, ditto voice and text and email processing, ditto endless social credit calculations for everyone, ditto some sort of “interface” for you all to “interact” with (that’s the “AI” you’re all already playing with and think is so “clever” – you won’t think it’s clever when you’re trying to get it to “allow” you to eat).
Good post.
We are heading fast, and faster by the day, to the point of synchronicity.
Kind of an all-or-nothing situation.
Nobody knows what the world will look like in the near future, say, a decade.
It seems our current state of consciousness needs to catch up with the level of technology we are facing… it’s either that or destruction.
The way things are going, we are losing by a landslide.
OR so it seems.
NicoX, is that you in that photo
sitting on your throne of justice!
lol
I guess people forgot about all the sci-fi dystopian warning movies, precursors to reality.
A.I. =Artificial Israel. Jews own/program it all.
As Nico X stated: ‘The goal of ZWOG is to substitute the white race with wogs & robots.’
The Zionist-Commie Jews are getting closer & closer to installing their omnipresent Artificial Israel (AI) global surveillance Orwellian police state.
Of course no mention of Jews developing all this AI in America and China. The root of all evil isn’t money but Jews.
Was Covid an AI operation? For the Western NATO nations it was coordinated with automaton obedience to the top-down orders of the US military (DARPA) out of the Cheyenne Mountain Complex in Colorado. From the largest experiment in history on live human beings with the Covid jabs, likely all of data from the diverse batches is being processed by a major AI center and it may be the Cheyenne Mountain Complex.
In any case, either AI or the human monsters actually in control of the entire operation, regardless of all crimes, murders, fakery, disabilities, and deaths, must consider it a blazing success in being able to control, dupe and screw so many people over for so long. They are totally indifferent to the disastrous results of the jabs, and that is verified by the conduct of all of their automaton puppet leaders running our governments.
Todd, this for you. To incorporated if you haven’t already.
It’s uber-thoughtful.

This is another example of the dumbing down effect where brain powers are being transferred not more into our controls but out of them. You can see the effect with calculators in schools where the importance of learning how to sequence on a pad has replaced the development of mathematical understanding, skills, and the mental exercises that go with it. Fewer and fewer people are able to think with abstract ideas, not only with math but also for any real form of reasoning with abstract thought.
With our technological dependence we see the axe wielding the man, the machine mastering the maker, and all forms of parallel thinking and even metaphor becoming meaningless. We are more and more prisoners in silos of different sciences speaking different languages with only those in charge of feeding the machines seeming to be in the know and in charge. We think we are in control of the machines we create but then discover they are in control of us. For instance, it would be nice if we could control the automobile, but everywhere you look it has replaced people. We seem to build our cities and neighborhoods more for the automobile than for people.
Humanity is not improved when fewer and fewer people can follow a rational argument or connect more than two dots on any issue. Twitter and X, for example, are not about thinking. They are outlets to control and monitor thinking with hardly any real dot connecting at all.
Even with the arts, the predominance of technological shortcuts over the use of our brains is contributing to the dumbing down of the people into crass externalism of temporal excitements as the end. Plot and the continuity of a story mean less and less, which is a refection of the loss of contact with the human soul trapped in an external present but divorced from life and nature, and in which the continuity and purpose of one’s own life has no real meaning.
China will continue to excel not because of its communism, but because of its culture and unity in ensuring that its people develop their brains and excel in understanding and memory skills. They are making their AI cheap and more open than in the West because, like the Jews doing the same, their leaders are on a long-range power trip where they know that smart people together with all of the devises are more important than smart cities, smart cars, and smart machines with dumbed-down people running them.
A”I” is not intelligent and it never will be, since there’s no consciousness in it nor will there ever be.
That won’t prevent your masters from doing some very bad things with it, though. And it won’t prevent the Jews from telling your children that it is really sentient, alive, and was created equal… yada, yada… and they must give up their inalienable Rights — whatever one’s they still enjoy — and consent to take antidepressants and have their souls extinguished just to make everything “fair.”
Beware of and disbelieve in A”I,” but even more so. beware of and disbelieve in The Jews.
Artificial Imbecility, as if there wasn’t already more than enough rampant imbecility being constantly demonstrated by moronic organic meat bags stuffed with sludge.
Death of humanity? Artificial Intelligence?
When a computer mouse is “smarter” than the operator that spends his/her lifetime in Billy Gates & Co cyberworlds to read about intelligent life(forms), pollyticks and most of all bargains of all sorts that could benefit the forever stretched wallet – as every breath in life has to be paid for that some holier than others Entrepreneur can live on their islands to philosophize on how to squeeze more blood out of “stupid” stones aka making money out of nothing, then humanity must have died a long time ago without any kind of intelligence ever had any part of human life. And of course if one wants to know about the future of tomorrow – besides Billy the Gate there is always B/Hollywood. Who needs intelligence as subjects subjected to a life of money spinning operate the “smartest hamster wheel” – forever and for FREE. That is what is called “Green energy” these days! Smart innit? A lot smarter than my creepy computer mouse!
Ladies:
Why would you bother with Artificial Insemination, when you can get the “real deal” off me?
No such thing as AI
AI ain’r sentient. Period!
It’s only and ALL algoritm’s.
U must be a pure imbecil to believe the crap ur being fed..
Probably taken the shot and a couple of boosters..
I find it really strange, to put it diplomatically, that Rixon Stewart keeps posting that redundant nonsense from that ultra pretentious, condescending and obsessive nincompoop NicoX and all his fake followers, disciples and fanboys. It just pollutes his site.
What kind of moderation is that?
By the way, the comments are usually the most interesting and important part of this site, yet they get posted late in the day, long after the articles are posted. Half these articles would be relatively insignificant if it wasn’t for the comment section, minus the repetitive crap posted by this insufferable SickoX.
China is proof of the symbiosis between capitalism and communism. Communist China is actually the most capitalist nation on earth. In truth, capitalism was the mother-bitch that spawned communism. And the big daddy of them both is the Jew.
THX1138 – Robot Policemen and AI Judges. Been there done that.
I’ll say one thing for that AI Robocop:
It’s at least better looking – a LOT easier on the eyes! – than the hysterical hags & harridans masquearding as “Police Chiefs” across ZWOGUK! 😂
