lux operon Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Tax Incentive Puts More Robots on Factory Floors https://www.wsj.com/articles/tax-incentive-puts-more-robots-on-factory-floors-1516962600 Tax Bill Will Lead to More Automation, Executives Boast to Wall Street Investors https://theintercept.com/2017/12/14/tax-bill-provision-will-lead-to-more-automation-executives-boast-to-wall-street-investors/ Just thought I'd throw that out there, take it or leave it. You're right to feel bothered by the excitement around 're-shoring'. There's a curve upward in manufacturing jobs growth at the moment but there will probably be a point soon where automated labor in manufacturing succeeds over most human labor. And in my view, people are daft if they think this is bringing us any closer to some kind of Jetsons Family fully-automated luxury communism. Integrated with smart cities, 5G and the IoT we're all being promised in glowing terms. Plus with the citizenship of the robot Sophia ("Wisdom" goddess in Gnosticism and Kabbalism) in Saudi Arabia of all places, we can expect the way opening for machines to have equal rights to humans, including marriage rights (check the endless reports on Sex bots), and humanity faces their demise or a merging with them in the "singularity." Next door to Arabia we have Jerusalem which is already being called by some the hi-tech capital of the world and are well known leaders in cyber-security. Jerusalem: Hi-tech capital of the world http://www.jpost.com/Magazine/Jerusalem-Hi-tech-capital-of-the-world-378282 Jerusalem – Israel’s burgeoning high-tech capital https://www.israel21c.org/jerusalem-israels-burgeoning-high-tech-capital/ Hot Robot At SXSW Says She Wants To Destroy Humans | The Pulse | CNBC (she's said this on at least 3 different events/shows I've seen, so it's being done on purpose to send a message) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0_DPi0PmF0 Just saw this today: Saudi Arabia is building a $500 billion mega-city that's 33 times the size of New York City http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/saudi-arabia-building-billion-mega-bigger-new-york-city-a8230731.html Sophia next to 1995 Illuminati Game Card "Eliza" Edited February 28, 2018 by lux operon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvatorin Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I dunno man, I think you are gettin a lil ahead of yourself there with machines having equal rights thing. I keep re-reading your first post in this thread and trying to dissect what it is you are saying, and I'm not quite gettin it. Reads like your average unmedicated schizo rant.

Candiru Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I think we all love you Bulk/Stephen G. But tbh I think some of Trump's money laundering predicaments will have to do with human trafficking. Possibly at his hotel in Panama. But what do I know...

Salvatorin Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 This is from June 2011 when "Weiner-gate" was in the air. How coincidental that we find the earliest recorded use of the term "pizzagate" coined by Trump. And how coincidental some on the right believe he's fighting the "pizzagate" rings. Have you considered the possibility that instead of 'pizzagate' having some kind of backwards causality, the 'pizzagate' theory's name was inspired by a trump quote from 2011?

Maybe you can clarify things in plain language - no links please - so that I can grasp what it is you are trying to illustrate. Haha, yes it's a bad combo of massive subjects and my unpolished writing skills. Wouldn't providing direct links to the literature and reports allow you to bypass whatever shortcomings I bring with the message? Re robot rights: We know that granting one citizenship brings rights with it yes? Now did you know that the Hanson robot "Sophia" recently received citizenship status in Saudi Arabia? There was much public outcry of such a perceived effrontery to the actual female citizens of Saudi Arabia who are treated as second class citizens, indeed they only just received rights to drive cars -- a big deal for them. This greases the skids already for more progressive, liberal, socialist, whatever nations to follow suit who pride themselves on things like animal rights, transgender rights, etc etc leading to rights for transhumans eventually, which has been discussed and pursued now for many years by Google and various government initiatives (look up the Converging Technologies report published in 2002 by the U.S. National Science Foundation and Department of Commerce discussing this). I hope this sounds crazy to you because it is, but very powerful folks are moving forward with these plans with or without your consent, laughing or crying. I'm just relaying the info. The links are necessary to build up a knowledge base so we can get up to speed on what's going on and where we're going otherwise I'll only sound like I'm speaking martian (or like an unmedicated schizo if you prefer): Saudi Arabia, which denies women equal rights, makes a robot a citizen https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2017/10/29/saudi-arabia-which-denies-women-equal-rights-makes-a-robot-a-citizen/?utm_term=.35338e1929ee When Will Robots Deserve Human Rights? https://gizmodo.com/when-will-robots-deserve-human-rights-1794599063 Give robots 'personhood' status, EU committee argues https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jan/12/give-robots-personhood-status-eu-committee-argues UAE appoints first-ever Minister for Artificial Intelligence https://tribune.com.pk/story/1536528/uae-appoints-first-ever-minister-artificial-intelligence/ Sophia the Robot Explains Her Plan For Women’s Rights https://www.powerofpositivity.com/sophia-robot-discusses-womens-rights/ Robots could become 'electronic persons' with rights, obligations under draft EU plan https://www.cnbc.com/2016/06/21/robots-could-become-electronic-persons-with-rights-obligations-under-draft-eu-plan.html World’s first robot ‘citizen’ Sophia is calling for women’s rights in Saudi Arabia https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/05/hanson-robotics-ceo-sophia-the-robot-an-advocate-for-womens-rights.html 'AI is good for the world' insists Sophia http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4584770/AI-good-world-insists-Sophia-humanoid-robot.html Ray Kurzweil, head futurist at Google has been beavering away on making these things come to fruition for many many years, and he's one of the leaders of the Transhumanist movement.

Bear in mind some of these articles are themselves introducing this subject with a 'yeah it's pretty creepy at first but ya know it ain't so bad, besides look at all the perks, so maybe this is a good thing, etc etc" angle, others are straight up PR roll outs, Deity-replacements or simply playing to lower base lusts -- they work every angle. So some here may actually go from denial to advocate; seeing this as a dehumanizing and depopulating agenda is too uncomfortable for some (I'll spare you the endless literature on the depopulation agenda). I'll leave you with that selection to choose from for now. If this aspect is still too unbelievable for you then I'm not sure I can help you out on the other stuff. PG itself is a whole other can of worms guarded by a wall of disinfo so just hearing that stupid term may already invoke images, feelings and ideas as intended and the only thing to show you how it works is doing the actual grunt work of reading reading reading basically 100s of hours worth of material. Most aren't willing to do that and are satisfied with the snappy one liners and slick soundbytes as they sail into oblivion.

goDel Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Amateur tip: create a new thread. You've entered at page 462 of a thread with a collection of links for people to read and get up to speed speaking martian. That should tell you it belongs in a different thread. Also, if people aren't up to speed after more than 400 pages, odds are they never will. Go search for some thread about AI and machine rights or something. I'm sure that's been covered here before. Trump and AI don't mix well. Unless you want to venture the subject of artificial stupidity. At which point the ethical issue becomes trivial.
