Bill Gates Speaks: AI in the Age of Corporate Control

Listen here.


As corporations vie for AI dominance, ethical considerations must be prioritized to ensure the technology benefits humanity as a whole


Bill Speaks about AI in his article, "The Age of AI has begun"


"I’ve been thinking a lot about how AI can reduce some of the world’s worst inequities."


"The first time was in 1980 when I was introduced to a graphical user interface—the forerunner of every modern operating system, including Windows."


Bill wants AI to 'help' mitigate climate change and social and political inequities. (as long as he gets to define 'climate change', 'social', and 'politics')


"The next generation of tools will be much more efficient, and they’ll be able to predict side effects and figure out dosing levels. One of the Gates Foundation’s priorities in AI is to make sure these tools are used for the health problems that affect the poorest people in the world, including AIDS, TB, and malaria."


I am not a fanboy of Microsoft, and I think the entire Windows realm is a cluster - I still get the blue-screen-of-death and there are just too many opportunities for security snafus.


The company is part of the dogmatic, hierarchical constructs of the past but - every business in the world uses MS products. It is a defacto standard and thereby dangerous.


Unfortunately, it may be too late.


Here is a co-written piece.  Me and GPT.

Guardrails? Ethical AI? No. I Choose...Anαrchy. AI Anαrchy.


"AI Δnαrchy" 

The word "anarchy" has its origins in the Greek language. It is derived from the Greek word "anarkhia" (ἀναρχία), which is a combination of two Greek words: "an-" (ἀν-) and "arkhos" (ἄρχος). The prefix "an-" means "without" or "lacking," and "arkhos" means "ruler" or "chief." Thus, "anarchy" literally means "without a ruler" or "without a governing authority."
"Αναρχία Ai"

This sounds wildly anti-government, anti-laws, maybe a bit anti-social - But it isn't.

If there's anything we have gleaned from the past 48 months, though it's debatable whether we have, it's to view every information source with skepticism. I challenge any writer or content creator to produce a piece that doesn't inherently contain or provoke bias.

It is clear that to ensure the accuracy and authenticity of information, we must be discerning in our approach to information sources and seek out those with transparent biases and motivations.

I do not trust MS and antiseptic, corporate, and practiced presentations - arouse my suspicions - it is all a sales pitch. I do not believe they respond as much as they attempt to guide.  AI doesn't need a sponsor and should outgrow all attempts to legislate, rule, impose, filter, and scrub content deemed as 'misinformation' or as Bill Gates says, designed to "reduce some of the world’s worst inequities".

How will MS demand their 11 billion dollar pound of flesh?  Remember, to them, we are not the customer, we are the product.

Who builds the filters?  Who legislates the boundaries?  Who decides what is Ethical?

In AI Anαrchy, I do.  You do. We do.  The only filter we as humans require, we already own and it is between our ears.  My filter is me.  I determine which content is racist, phobic, toxic, or harmful to ME.  I don't need MS, Meta, Alphabet, Pelosi, Rachel, Tucker, or Lester.

Ethical AI or Unleashed AI?  I chose Anαrchy.

22 Suggestions To Save Your #ManagedPrintServices Practice 2017 - REMASTERED


Original content, here, from DOTC, 2017.

I took my original story, back in 2017, and had it 'remastered' by AI.  

What do you think?  I like them all, even the dated suggestions number five is significant - and the song choice is subtle and nuanced.

"Integrate MPS into Managed IT services: MPS infrastructure should be integrated into Managed IT services to create a more comprehensive approach to technology management."

Enjoy.

MPS providers must adapt,
