Artificial Intelligence won’t become Skynet, but the federal government may become the Borg!
Assimilation is preventable in the next election.
Which terrifies you more, AI becoming self-aware or the Federal Government becoming conscious? As much as I saw the panic over AI in the last 3 months, I am confident that utilizing the Democrat energy strategy of only having intermittent power through the exclusive use of green energy, that Artificial Intelligence will be doomed as there will not be enough continuous power for it to function at a level where it will be able to become self-aware. No Terminator, no Skynet in our future.
The Federal government becoming conscious? That has already happened. For years the government ate and excreted. It eats your tax dollars, it excretes policy. We understand this to be the function of government. We give it nourishment and it is supposed to handle all those issues in society that we don’t have the time or resources with which to deal. We rely on our elected officials to provide guidance for this beast, but it seems that the beast thinks, for itself.
How else can the economic position of the United States be singularly affected by a branch in the government that is not in the Constitution (The Federal Reserve). How is it that government tax dollars are distributed to nongovernmental organization that have a primary purpose to encourage and aid illegal immigrants in their crossing of our border. How is it that our tax code has become so onerous that regular people cannot determine if they are filing their taxes correctly. How is it that there are 87,000 new IRS agents on the table to help create more revenue, by taxing you? How is it that the appetite for tax dollars is one trillion dollars more than what the revenue provides?
It's because the politicians have stopped guiding the government and have become a slave to it. Now they help expand the government because they will either get votes or kickbacks by this action. Debt be damned we are making government bigger! The bigger government inflates, the more conscious it becomes, and unfortunately the political thinking is abnormal. Government should not be used to drive revenue for those (politicians, auto subsidies, climate energy subsidies, NGOs, foreign aid, war, and the list goes on) that utilize our tax dollars to support themselves. Yet, any small excuse and our politicians print more money to our taxpaying detriment.
In the near future, should nothing change, there will likely be some sort of economic calamity spurred forward by our inability to service our debt. People will turn to the government for help, and it will print more money because that is how it solves problems. Then all will be a slave to government, and much like the Borg in Star Trek, resistance will be futile.
It can be stopped with your vote. Vote for Barry Lindemann, Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, Nevada.
