How I will learn to stop worrying and love the robot overlordsteemCreated with Sketch.

I have become convinced that Artificial Intelligence is one of, if not the, most important endeavors of our time. I have been inching towards this conclusion for some time, but may have been recently tipped over the edge by two great "Wait but Why?" articles:

In an effort to understand the rapid technological changes we are experiencing now, and the exponentially greater changes coming in the years ahead, I have decided to dig as deep into Artificial Intelligence as I can stand. As I go through this, I will check in and post my experiences, resources, and projects. This will be an aid to my own learning, but hopefully fellow auto-didacts will find this useful.

To get into the weeds of AI development, I will need to build some foundations:

  1. Mathematics - Did I really pass calculus in college? I don't remember any of this shit. I'll need to brush up. Mainly I'll be using https://khanacademy.org for this.
  2. Programming - I am current a front end developer, but I'll need to brush up on data structures and some lower level coding skills
  3. AI concepts - machine learning, deep learning, neural nets, etc. I have a conceptual understanding of what these things are, but my end goal is learning to create these types of systems.

Along the way I'll be keeping up with current events and pondering ethical and societal issues related to AI technologies. Right now I'm particularly interesting in workforce automation and basic income (e.g. take my job and pay me to do nothing please!), so expect plenty of thoughts on this.

That's all for now, hope some of you will join me on my road to (understanding) superintellegence!

Have you ever read Sacred Economics? It has nothing to do with AI but I think you'd dig it. Good goals btw.

saved it in my goodreads , thanks for the tip!

It's the thing that will destroy humanity. 100%

depends on your definition of destroy. It may mean our extinction or it may lead us to transcend humanity. It's coming one way or the other, but the more we plan and understand, the better chance we have.

You will transcend your humanity and become a slave. You will actually be destroying your only chance of salvation.

Oh... is this... is it judeo-christian salvation? I usually don't bite for these kinds of discussions, but I have to ask, what would lead you to believe a god would give us the capability to create this kind of technology if it would lead to damnation? Or is the technological singularity the rapture?

The rapture is bullshit. I grew up athiestic. I am a software engineer, and I am uniquely positioned to understand the tech better than most. I also recently was awakened to the reality of this world, and the reality points to the existence of god, and of great evil in this world. Essentially, with a bit of research, you can easily prove the existence of an evil overlord currently crushing us.. the Luciferian Doctrine is the western philosophy, and we trust science like it is a god.

One goal of the illuminati elite, for their new age of darkness require the following abominations to be fulfilled, just as in the days of noah...

  • merging of male and female
  • merging of man and beast
    -merging of man and machine
    the concept of being a god, and self worship is prevelant. We are absolutely in biblically described end times, down to the eclipses, and everything described. We are about to be microchipped, the new world order is gripping hard, as described, and they will be trying to merge us into one religion following the great alien deception coming soon.

Strong claims, I'd like to see the bit of research that offers proof for this. I am assuming it's more than pop stars featuring triangle/eye shapes in their music videos?

I'm asking in earnest. I don't believe in conspiracies or the eschaton, but I'm truly agnostic and am fascinated by these kinds of theories.

You should start believing in conspiracy theories, since that is simply a term that is used by the elite to denigrate independent research. Of course there is proof of this... but here's the deal with truth... You must find it yourself. I don't have all the answers.. but I can tell you the high level facts. You can validate them yourself.

  • Secret societies.. masons, illuminati, etc.. all worship the god of this world, lucifer.. in the modern world the teachings of alister crowley, etc.

  • they seek out the wealthy to corrupt, and all high level business men and leaders of the world, with the exception of those who the US media hates are basically illuminati puppets

  • laws always favor them, and are designed to steal your wealth

  • the UN agenda 2021, now 2030 is a depopulation agenda, spoken about in the Georgia Guide STones

  • When you look at the story of the bible in the context of advanced technology, it starts to make sense as actual truth.

  • The bible is the single most validated document in the world. There is no document that is more reliably accurate than this one.

  • The God of the old testament is Jehovah.. aka Satan. He's the reptilian demon.

  • The character christ, not the catholic lie of christ, but the actual concept/person of Christ appears to be a message from our actual creator

  • Ancient Aliens bullshit is all these ancient demons (Ra, Gilgamesh, Moluk) etc.

  • Christ offered himself to die to save humanity literally, as a contract with this entity.

  • Humanity didn't believe it was him, just as today

  • Ancient gods of Babylon, were in fact interdimensional advanced species. They were called fallen angels, other names. These were gods of ancient days around the world... The ones who did human sacrifice. These traditions live on today via the royal bloodlines and the rich royalty that have been in control for generations (rockafeller, soros, rothschild).
    -They are in control of governements, intel agencies, religion, music, media, etc. You know media is controlled by 3 people?? Not hard if they are all in the same club

  • These people are the karzarian jewish mafia, aka the illuminati cabal. benjamin fullford has good intel from the deep. It'll seem nuts, but it can be validated.

  • We are all under the control of the central banks, who are the implementers of the agenda of financial slavery we are currently living under.

  • See the illuminati whistleblower who was an elite banker. He tells all, right up to child pedophilia and sacrifice.

  • Want proof? Read the Talmud. Try and watch or read the Protocols of Zion.

  • Want more? There's so much more.

  • Space and NASA are fake. ALL CGI and wires and underwater and low earth orbit aircraft.

  • The goal is to make you think you are nothing, an accident, and to give yourself to the luciferian agenda, as there are no consequences, and to be ruled by the lies of this world... materialism, sports, celebrities (idol worship).. it's so easy to see it's in every superbowl halftime show.
