Maybe to many people I sounded unperturbed when they saw me warned A few years ago, it was said that true social justice requires woke supercomputers. Today is?don’t say I wasn’t Warning you:
Vice President Kamala Harris announced the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB)’s first government-wide policy to reduce the risks and leverage the benefits of artificial intelligence (AI), highlighting the core elements of AI. announced that it would be realized. [sic] President Biden’s groundbreaking AI executive order. This order strengthens the safety and security of AI, protects Americans’ privacy, promotes equity and civil rights, stands up for consumers and workers, fosters innovation and competition, and strengthens America’s reputation around the world. He ordered drastic actions to improve leadership.
be patient. Advance capital? Yes, with a new Council of Chief AI Officers that all federal agencies must appoint.
Technology and justice are powerful idols, and the elite-level clash of their cults brings untold and unstoppable pain to Americans and the American experiment.
According to OMB, the new CAO will “adhere to minimum safety standards and work collaboratively with chief financial and human resources officers to leverage AI to advance agency missions and ensure equitable outcomes.” “We will develop a plan to develop the necessary budget and personnel.”As Ars Technica reportOMB explains in detail exactly what it has in mind.
Government agencies are encouraged to prioritize the development and deployment of AI in the public interest, using AI to improve the accessibility of government services, reduce food insecurity, and combat the climate crisis. We recommend prioritizing where technology can help understand and tackle big societal challenges, such as addressing and improving social conditions. We aim to improve public health, promote equitable outcomes, protect democracy and human rights, and increase economic competitiveness in ways that benefit people across the United States.
Despite all the social justice jargon, the idea behind it is simple. Having tried every other known form of government to create a utopian heaven on earth, we have found all to be lacking. Justice is far too complex for humans to achieve. Whatever good we have control over is hopelessly incomplete due to the limits of our knowledge and abilities.
Only the most intelligent machines are able to understand in great detail exactly what to do, at what point, to exactly how much, and to whom. In a world of endless microaggressions and microinequalities, only a national supercomputer can correctly weigh our worth and place us correctly in the appropriate ranks of the great ladder of social credit. We can renew our status by election year, not election year. Every day or hour, but every moment, every femtosecond, a new Last Judgment takes place. Artificial intelligence must integrate all federal agencies into a new system, one of supercomputers categorized as woke religions and overseen by a super-official clergy.
So much for democracy! So much for human rights!
The same goes for public health. The sacred vocabulary of our folk religions has been so thoroughly degraded by our digital and diversifying rulers that online they and their slogans are like emperors without clothes. And they’ll come knocking on your door. If you take a few more steps down this path, they’ll do it offline if you ask them.
Of course, there are common-sense, practical justifications for keeping governments informed of rapidly advancing technology. Officials who have been drowsy at the wheel will wake up to a different type of regime change through digital power. There, ambitious nerds seeking revenge for federal incompetence and DEI discrimination will eliminate what they see as intermediaries of the cult of justice and establish a new form of governance in the federal government. A foundation for straight-up technology worship. This one-feed, rule-all model spells the end of America as definitively as a single-feed social justice/social credit system with an unelected theocrat of an awakened supercomputer.
The age of computer champions
Technology and justice are powerful idols, and the elite-level clash of their cults brings untold and unstoppable pain to Americans and the American experiment. Naturally, hedonists and trads alike want nothing more than a break from the eerie sense of impending battle royale that casts an ever-greater shadow over our lives.
But running away en masse to the Shire or Burning Man is like calling for an airstrike on Big Tech’s data centers; instead of collapsing en masse, we gradually process and use our wisdom to adapt to the unfolding reality. It would abandon a moderate path that would give Americans a reprieve. To a hostile and alien timeline. We need talented engineers and public servants who will work with each other, with the American people, and with the precious resources that we rightly cherish, no matter how battered and degraded. It is necessary to be cooperative with the constitutional form of government.
But we won’t have them unless key players in technology and governance stand up to recognize that a radical revolution is not the cure for what ails us. Americans know how fragile this young country is. Our imaginations and works of art are filled with recurring dreams and nightmares of rifts, factions, chaos, and collapse. What makes libertarianism, conservatism, and even liberalism so hard to maintain is the anarchism that still pulsates just beneath the surface of much of American life, and the fact that only some form of iron rule can keep us Because of the accompanying fear that it can be saved from a headlong fall into barbarism. The details go south.
Ultimately, the change of heart we need on the cutting edge of technology and in the infrastructure of government must come from a place deeper and more authentic than imagination or calculation. It must come from insight born of painful spiritual experiences. Such a tested and strengthened council of tech-savvy elders would be a boon not only to technology and government, but also to the people and citizens who are ostensibly the cause of this mayhem. But we’re not going to get that from OMB today, and we’re not going to get that from the “Biden” administration. If you’re a top technologist or Trump administration official in a presumptive second term, the golden path is wide open and you don’t have to make any numbers to get in line to get to the front. .
It takes more than ambition, ability, and intelligence to harness and save a country. With humility, patience, and listening to what can only be heard in silence, you may be remembered forever.
