heuristics - the science of training humans to behave more predictably until you believe that you can read their minds and predict the future.
ai is the final solution. people are encouraged to depend on ai for everything so that they atrophy their brains and lose the ability to think and act independently and then the ruling class will have prescient knowledge of everything we could ever say or do and they will feel like god and finally be able to coom
The problem with that theory is that no matter how much you force the AI to espouse your own political theory, it doesn't change peoples' minds. You can't get the AI to say Luigi Mangione was a hero, but you describe the case to anyone on earth behind closed doors and they'll tell you they think he did the right thing. Even people who fall for AI slop consistently, they fall for it because it aligns with their values, not because it's persuading them to hold new values. For example: The AI archaeology videos. They aren't persuading people who believe in the contemporary view of archaeology that they've found weird alien chambers under the pyramids. Those videos work on people who already think the pyramids are giant chemical batteries left behind by aliens, you get what I'm saying? It jacks into what you already believe and spins a fairy tale about it to ensure your engagement. But it can only reinforce what you believe, it can't make you accept a new belief. Humans already have a difficult time persuading other humans to change their beliefs. The same way you're instinctively preparing to rebut me, do you believe we lack a similar filter for non-humans?
>>32552I think AI is just another tool in the box. It used to be, you needed to dedicate resources, usually one or more humans spending many hours, to build an echo chamber. Now, AI does it almost effortlessly, meaning those same resources can be diverted to creating propaganda which might change your mind.
Propaganda builds the walls that divide us, AI reinforces them.
