Full Spectrum Dominance; war by air, land, sea, RF, nuclear, and through subversion of media, polticial processes, food supplies, pharma, medicine, ecology, culture, religion, economies, manipulation of demographics...

This is the reality of power struggle (all means are in the game), but this new level of reach, spread and deep integration has been within reach and in active development for at least 200 years, and it's just going get worse. It's enabled by bureacracy, "one voter, one vote" democracy in the face of a mature media manipulation ("mind control") industry, capitalism and other trappings of civilization. ML is just going to end up automating the doctrine of FSD.

I think I'm moving out of the city to learn to live off the land, be independent and raise a family. I think it may be very interesting to see how I can use modern technology in that context, while making sure I don't absolutely depend on it.

Anyone else think it's quite possible there will be a lot of new wars in Western countries in 20-40 years, when the tipping point of replacement migration is reached?

That's it in a nutshell. The ultimate black box to bow down to. We already do this with in so many ways, just following orders, just repeating what we hear, and so on.. and people think we're become less spineless and murderous as this wet dream of sociopathy is introduced? Yeah, right. Some list biased training data as a pitfall, from the "correct" perspective that is absolutely a feature, that is the point.

In real life? I can't think of anyone I can have normal, intelligent conversations with who doesn't express worries that get flagged on HN. And I'm not talking leftist young people, I'm talking everybody, from 20 to 85.
