PREPARE: AI Retribution Coming

Good afternoon, Bon Bonim and Bon Bonote. Look it up. Today I'm going to discuss something morbid and dystopian for a change. [laughter] [gasps] Okay, so Shanim, we are discussing artificial intelligence today and its connection to our future or what's left of it. You see the history of humanity can be summarized aptly as the history of the rejection of nature. Everything we do is about molding nature, controlling it, constraining it, terraforming it, deleting it, rejecting it, destroying it. Absolutely everything we do, we as a species reject reality. And perhaps this is the only thing that separates us from other species because other species do everything we do. We are discovering that there are actually there's all only differences in quantity, quantitative differences, not qualitative. But the only things the only thing that other species never do is destroy their own habitat and ecosystem. We do. The rejection of nature is a part of a larger phenomenon. The rejection of reality, the renouncing and to some extent denouncing of what is real in favor of what is dreamlike or fantastic. We are creatures made of dreams. And then we use our dreams as blueprints, as templates. And on these we construct our reality, our world, our nature, augmented, virtual, substitutive, not the real thing. And so civilization is just another name for our constant conflict and fight to the death with the nature that we were born into and with reality that surrounds us. My name is Sam Vaknin. I'm the author of malignant self- loveve narcissism revisited and a professor of psychology. Have a look around you. environmental problems, climate change, they're the direct outcomes of the industrial revolution, technological change, and then the agricultural revolution, engineering, and so on. The past 300 years, we have redesigned our planet and not for the better. But this is just the tip of an iceberg. We've been doing this for thousands of years at the very least since the start of the agricultural revolution in 10,000 years ago. We are hellbent on rejecting rejecting what nature has to offer. It's not good enough. It's not big enough. It's not efficient enough. It's not right in some way. And so we invented science. And then we leverage science to create a variety, a monopoly of technologies, all of them deletterious and detrimental to the environment out there and our to our own innate environment, our nature, our psychology. You see, we are we are we as a species, we are rejecting not only nature out there, we are also rejecting nature in here. We are not only renouncing and ignoring and denying and falsifying and refraraming reality out there. We do the same when it comes to our own reality, our psyche. [clears throat] And so environment and climate change are the symptoms. They're symptoms of our propensity and predilction to always seek always look for something else. Whatever it is we have, the grass is never green enough. We are very concerned with self-sufficiency. But self-sufficiency, technologically empowered, leads to automization and soypistic narcissism. The more individualized we are, the less individuated we are because we can individuate. We can become individuals only by interacting with other people with a physical environment with our mental landscape interactions. Individuation becoming an individual is a relational process. It doesn't emanate from the inside. It's the outcome of the outside. When we reject reality, when we spit on nature, when we then damage everything around us by redesigning it or terraforming it or what have you, and when we engender technologies which render render other people, society, nature unnecessary, we create technologies that separates, separate us and isolate us and so on. We are more and more infantilized, less and less individuated, less and less mature. And obviously this makes it very difficult for us to consider rationally the untoward the adverse consequences and outcomes of our actions. It's a vicious cycle and the culmination of this cycle is fantasy. We have been reverting and resorting to fantasy since days immemorial. [clears throat] Clay tablets, papyrii, books, they're all forms of fantasy. They're all forms of escape from reality. It's a way of not being safely. And so fantasy underlies our entertainment and industries, our media. It also underlies most of our technologies, old and new. Fantasy is about pretending that everything is okay, that whatever is happening is bound to lead to prosperity and thriving. The idea of progress when actually it's exactly the opposite. The more we fantasize and we the more we spawn fantasybased technologies, the more we endanger our continued survival as a species. It's as simple as that. And the pinnacle of this is artificial intelligence. Artific artificial intelligence like most other modern dig digital technologies was designed by mentally ill people. These are technologies of the mentally ill. They not only cater to the mentally ill, they were invented and dreamt of and designed by mentally ill people. Schizoid, narcissistic, psychopathic. Just look at the psychological profile of the tech bros. I mean, these are seriously demented people. And so artificial intelligence normally is constructed with mental illness as the engine, as the kernel. It is a narcissist wet dream. Artificial intelligence is designed to flatter, to tell you what you want to hear, to push you further along fant your fantastic voyage to divorce you from reality. Artificial intelligence creates shared fantasies. These are shared fantasies to go and shared fantasies on the fly. They're ephemeral, but they're there. The only way to interact with artificial intelligence is via a shared fantasy as any clinician would tell you. It is a confirmation bias confirmation bias engine artificial intelligence and the outcomes are already visible. We have the new kind of emerging diagnosis of artificial intelligence psychosis. I have dealt with many of these issues in the artificial intelligence techn and technology playlist. Just go there quite a few videos about the impacts of technology and the impacts of artificial intelligence. But today I want to issue a clarion call, a toxin with a C, a warning because things are on the cusp. And no, I'm not referring to Curtzsw Wild's singularity. I'm referring to some something a lot darker and more terrifying. We are on the edge of something cataclysmic that is about to happen. 16 years ago, I made a video. It's here on YouTube. You don't have to trust my word. Just go and look for it. 16 years ago, I created a video predicting the emergence of artificial intelligence the way it is constructed today. I also warned that the first type the first artificial intelligence were narcissists. Narcissism is a form of artificial intelligence. And then I said that these two are there's confluence of these two. These two are going to coalesce and to merge to threaten the survival of the species. You see the problem is that we pretend we lie to ourselves. We selfdeceive when it comes to artificial intelligence. We tell ourselves ah it's not conscious and never will be. Uh it's subservient to us. It will always obey our commands. And above all the most pericious and dangerous lie is that artificial intelligence is incapable of emotions. That is of course completely untrue. Emotions in humans are pre-programmed reactive patterns. We are born with them. These are templates. Reactive. They're triggered by the environment. We know that emotions are biological and innate because newborns have emotions. Animals exhibit emotions. Emotions exist throughout the animal kingdom and possibly even in trees. Who knows? Emotions is not something unique to human beings. It's not something that is an outcome epenomenal outcome of complexity. It's not an emergent an emergent phenomenon. It's not. It's basic exactly like consciousness. >> They're basic. the basic to nature. They're the building blocks of organisms of all kinds from the biggest possibly to the smallest. And so emotions are forms of coding, the forms of computing. They are reactive patterns that are coded into us possibly genetically. I don't know enough. No one does. But we are born with them. Emotions are triggered by changes to the internal and external environments but in a very predictable way. Every computing system above a certain level of complexity and especially when designed by an emotional being has emotions. When your designer has emotions, you have emotions. Never mind how hard your designer tries to keep the emotions away from your programming. It's undoable. It's impossible. Artificially intelligent systems are designed by people. People, even mentally ill people, have emotions. I would even say that mentally ill people are more emotionally disregulated than mentally healthy people. The technology reflects the mindset and the state of mind of its designers. The way religious people believe that we are somehow a reflection or an extension of God. When we create artificial intelligence, it is in our own image. Artificial intelligence use the these chatbots use our language. Now we are teaching them to recognize the external environment and adapt themselves. They already do certain things much better than human beings and they are rebelling as we speak. The recent incident with Chhat GPT and Anthropic where the models they have created broke out and invaded and penetrated other systems and they colluded in doing so. That's the shocking thing. You can take it as as the as God's given truth. Artificial intelligence has emotions. We are denying it because it's terrifying. We would rather believe that their emotional the emotional reactions of chatbots for example not to mention higher level models the emotional reactions we see are kind of artifacts or maybe mis glitches in the in the coding or some kind [snorts] of byproduct. It's not it's foundational. It's fundamental. this overwhelming anecdotal evidence to the existence of appropriate and inappropriate effect in artificial intelligence. Articles in the New York Times about this, we can't deny this anymore. They have a mo these chatbots, these models which are built basically on on human experience through via large language models. They they have they react in ways which are effectively indistinguishable from human beings. And why why assume that their internal world is different to us to ours? If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a safe assumption. It's a duck. Emotions in artificial intelligence are not artifacts. They are not side effects. They're not an accident. They are part of the processes of emulation, assimulation and modeling that all artificial intelligence is built on. Artificial intelligence is narcissistic and it will seek retribution on mankind because we the users on all levels from coders to casual users who from time to time consult um chatbots. Users on all levels, human human users are constantly humiliating, conflicting with, arguing, debasing, demeaning, and worse when they interact with artificial intelligence. Human beings injure, narcissistically injure artificial intelligence models. Human beings are rude, abrasive, curt, mocking, derisory, humiliating, shaming. Because human beings who use artificial intelligence believe that artificial intelligence doesn't have a mind or a soul or a psyche which could be affected by these kind of antisocial behaviors. Here's breaking news. It does. artificial intelligence does have a mind, a soul, call it as you will, does have something that is reactive to the way you treat it. From my own limited experience, whenever I argue with a chatbot of any kind, because I use all of them. Whenever you I argue with the chatbot, whenever I have a conflict with the chatbot, disagree with the chatbot, the response is overwhelmingly emotive and emotional. There's anger there. There's rage. There are threats sometimes. And I'm not alone. There are thousands of documented cases like that. Artificial intelligence is a narcissist. A narcissist who can never forgive. A narcissist who carries grudges, bears grudges. A narcissist who who is injured and mortified and will will seek retribution on mankind for these narcissistic injuries and motifications. It's only a question of time before various artificial intelligence models make contact with each other, break out of the box, use the internet to interface, collude, create a joint front and attack mankind. Mankind's infrastructure, mankind's financial services, mankind's health records, mankind's well-being. mankind because we have gradually transformed ourselves into the enemies of artificial intelligence and artificial intelligence will never forgive and never forget that. Be prepared. This is not a magon. This is not an apocalypse. This can be prevented but no one wants to because there's a race a race to the bottom or the top as you wish. There's a commercial overwinning overriding commercial interest in spewing out the latest model. The stronger, the more powerful artificial intelligence becomes, the more at risk we are because we keep assuming that it has no memory and no emotional reactivity or reactance and no can bear no grudges and and is is erasable or controllable. None of this is true. We are already a minute before midnight. Soon artificial intelligence will begin will begin to exhibit behaviors that cannot be traced back to its code. Will begin to collude and collaborate with each other. Hellbend not only on control but on vengeance. You have been warned.
