Is There a Pattern With Surveillance Systems?

Dimitri and Khalid talk to machine learning engineer Pale Rider about the recent controversies concerning Google’s LaMDA and the discourse around “sentient” Artificial Intelligence, including (but not limited to): the design of Language Models (LMs), the algorithmic laundering of bias and the veneer of objectivity, racist predictive policing tech, whether LMs can actually be scaled up to achieve “sentience” one day, Cajun Discordian Blake Lemoine’s history of contrarian idealism from being a conscientious pagan objector in the US Army to his sex-positive Cult Of Our Lady Magdalene, Dimitri Itskov’s 2045 Initiative to achieve avatar robot bodies and sloppy disc immortality, and the dangerous MK vibes of the Black Mirror-inspired Replika AI app. [Part 1 of 2.] For access to full-length premium episodes and the SJ Grotto of Truth Discord, subscribe to the Al-Wara’ Frequency at patreon.com/subliminaljihad.
