Forget about it. Read The Raw Shark Texts instead.

You're welcome. Thinking about it, the previous version probably would have led to more interesting answers. Like yours.

Start with a simple analog Braitenberg vehicle and learn how to ascribe intelligent behaviour to a purely mechanical system.

No, Mr Horvath did. I changed the title accordingly.

If I understand correctly, it's paranoid AI, discussing conspiracy theories about paranoid people, discussing conspiracy theories about paranoid AI, discussing conspiracy theories about paranoid people, discussing conspiracy theories about ... <infinite self-referential recursive loop> ... ? My inner Douglas Hofstaedter likes that!

Nice, looks tasty!

So, Kudzu?

Or Industrial waste like in France around 2012?

And on Banggi, a Malaysian island, there is supposedly green honey!

I stopped watching the video when the first ships approached Old London Bridge, which were clearly too tall to pass through, and fortunately the camera angle changed before I had to witness the AI shipwreck.

This reminds me of Dr. Adrian Thompson's interesting findings from the mid-1990s on the influence of electromagnetic phenomena in evolvable hardware on FPGAs.

Of course, the substrate being researched back then is different from human wetware.

That reminds me of how the manufacturer's customer service department for my car some thirty years ago tried to convince me that the problems with the ignition electronics could also be caused by solar flares. Which could have been the case, of course, but then it would surely have affected other vehicle owners as well. Though, maybe the sun did shine just for me back then, you can never be sure, can't you. I briefly considered consulting an astronomer.

Well, if you have nothing else to offer, one way or another you have to find loyal fools with a helper syndrome.

After all, you're are not a patriarch, as was common for thousands of years, who could just tell his family what to do or not to do, and they obeyed without question.

Or even sell your own children into slavery.

This manipulative stuff is a bit disgusting and annoying, but it pays.

At least it is a sneaky method to filter your prefered type of underling, but still look like a grand soul.

So, a double win.

Of course if you're into family fetish with a bit of sadistic gaslighting, it is even a triple win.

A lot of people even like it that way.

So it's a win-win, isn' it?
