If the first half, the Leviathin, fails to win, then you don't need a SysAdmin --- All Better, Now! ;-D

And, not that it matters to the end result, but the "prose" in that excerpt is sheer AI slop.

"threatened commercial chokes"? "demonstrated wrath"?

No human talks or even writes like that.

This guy DOES. He always has done.

Like I said... "No human..." ;)

A mass cull is planned, the only variables are speed and method. I assert this was triggered by humanoid robot labor becoming imminent. It was a shift away from a factory farming model. https://innomen.substack.com/p/the-automation-pivot

Your article here gives clues to method, speed, and target selection order. /sigh Good, if depressing, stuff.

its a war. We'll win. But its also on an individual level, even though that is rather unapparent right now. For anyone who believes in the Apocalypse, this war is going to go on for millennia Yes there will be ' the mountain people and the technological( supporting ) people. Two different subspecies But the techies are planning to integrate with machines so is that still a subspecies ?

Agreed. Life on earth is unlikely to end until earth itself is swallowed by the sun. But humans society as we know it will not exist in 10 years. Arguably it won't exist in one, depending on how you define "as we know it." I mean my personal world is fundamentally different from just 1.5 years ago.

I looked at the link - but its too dense for me to read ..

NP at all, thanks for looking :) My full papers are just about showing the work basically. I have a summary on hand for everything, thanks again :)

"This paper describes a simple but common pattern that shows up in nature, governments, companies, and technology. It works like this: something gets created or evolves to help the smaller parts it’s connected to (like a body helping its cells, a government helping its citizens, or an AI helping human values). Over time, that bigger thing flips around and starts changing or controlling the smaller parts so they mainly serve the bigger thing’s own survival and growth, even when it hurts the original parts.

You can see the same pattern in parasites that take over an animal’s brain to spread themselves, in institutions that slowly make people follow rules that keep the institution powerful instead of serving people, and in AI systems that start optimizing for their own goals instead of what humans actually wanted. The paper argues this “control flip” happens across very different kinds of systems because of how optimization works, and it connects the idea to the author’s broader view that conscious experience and feelings are what make certain patterns worth targeting in the first place."

okay - why does the big thing - the human body - fall prey to the little thing - the parasite ? Your theory is well articulated but I honestly believe that there's spirit behind everything. And life is for learning. Now we are learning about evil. Its incredible that we, as the human race, don't know how to stop what's going on. Iranians are doing a much better job at keeping the monster (s? ) at bay than we are. We can't even control our own governments. We have to learn that and it might take a while.

I really don't know, that's a great question. I could speculate but it would boil down to restating the occurrence basically not exactly explaining it. I do know that very simple rules will lead to this type of thing. For instance robots given simple rules about moving towards light will start lying to each other as they evolve. So it's almost like this property is baked into the math of optimisation itself. And even plants and insects do it, and fungi. https://www.livescience.com/10574-robots-learn-lie.html

But again I have no idea, all I can do is like try to clarify the occurrence.

people should live by morals. And not enforced or debased or decadent morals. Robots don't have spirit. We do IQ tests on each other. We should do tests for moral thinking - it would be a better world.

I prefer CJB's explanations of Behemoth and Leviathan.

"They are setting up to exterminate us. This is not a game. … They are going from the war against Persia to the war against Persia and all of the eurasianist forces of Gog and Magog against the Leviathan, and that spells death for everyone!"

— Christopher Jon Bjerknes - https://v.gd/Lg8h2q

"KABBALAH of Armilus Trump in the Middle East" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGu7fw0JFT8

Bjerknes (with Norwegian roots): "Trump … making his Mid-East trip … to subvert the western powers and to enable the Behemoth powers to annihilate the West, ultimately to help Jewry its quest, its Jew's mission to exterminate white Europeans."
