Obscurantism: othering others II...


A quick follow up on yesterday re the Google AI project Gemini. It isn't only grossly racist, surprise surprise it is also a lefty twat censorship monster. 

It is patently a danger to freedom of speech and most definitely a censorship mis/disinformation beast: look at the Twitter thread from Texas Lindsay. It is also obvious that this is not a bug but a feature.

"Google’s Gemini AI isn’t just bias, it’s broken. Its responses are extremely offensive & arguably slanderous at times. Today, I tested it using it the exact same prompt each time, only changing names & these were the results." [sic]
That is the most obvious one but ALL are just as biased. Apologies if you do not follow politics across the pond.

Google's AI principles say that [2023 PDF] AI should avoid creating or reinforcing unfair bias, also not to deceive users or misrepresent facts. Gemini itself says it is unable to generate responses that are biased or unfair...not working out too well, certainly the bias and censorship is a clear and present danger to any fair-minded person.

Othering others...


"The nightmare feeling caused by the disappearance of objective truth." 
Othering others, "WTF?!" would be a normal reaction. But oh my fucking GOD this is worse: Google are very, very dangerous, evil fuckwits. "Don't be evil" has become 'we are the definition of evil and fuck you whitey'. They are far more than Big Brother [quote above from this link, added 1600hrs] ever was, they have literal global cover, immense power. Their Gemini/AI is really scary. [Link to Twitter]

Observing Online order...


Sorry for the lack of posting but the Substack warriors (Steve Kirsch, Igor Chudov, The Naked Emporer and the bad cat amongst others) are saying everything I could possibly say: the fact that almost no politicians or the MSM are still not catching on is very sinsiter indeed...

Anyhoo, just popped in to reblog this posted on Samizdata: Sic transit gloria mundi...

Oncoming Orwellian online outrage...






No comment from me but full agreement with Raedwald, 'Censorship and Repression - May's Ceauscescu moves' :


"Oh boy - so it's blogs that damage our trust in Parliament - not Parliament's betrayal of democracy or corrupt MPs as I previously described them as denizens of Dante's eighth malbolge - pimps, seducers, flatterers dipped in human shit, liars, fornicators, barrators, perjurers, corrupt office-holders, half-wit frauds and peculators. And I can name at least three of each. And have candid photos of one (widely circulated on the net) who importuned another pervert to shit on him."

Re the proposals contained in the Online Harms White Paper "for widespread government censorship of the internet". At least the tame MSM are jumping on this too. Their master bites them.

Online odium II...






"Hate is hate. Online abusers must be dealt with harshly." Really? Hate is hate? No it isn't, in the same article it has their definition of hate crime, "recognised by the CPS and police, is 'any criminal offence which is perceived by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by a hostility or prejudice'". Worth repeating: 'perceived by the victim or any other person'; yes the same crap thought crime laws bought in by New Labour are being enforced and increased by the current powers that be.



So hate isn't hate: hate is what someone thinks is hate, and that someone may have very good reasons for saying they think it is hate. So looking at a BME (oh yes) the wrong way and saying something they don't like, anything, even if it's what you you say to friends and family, or leaving a bacon sandwich outside a Mosque, could be treated the same or worse as grooming, drugging, raping and gang raping [underage] girls... actually it already is worse because the former two are prosecuted immediately (in fact the second got a death sentence) whilst the latter is ignored for 20 years.



Both Alison Saunders's (CPS director of public prosecutions) piece in the Guardian (interesting choice given it's blinkered and shrinking readership and 'antisemitic' connections) and the Guardian follow-ups refer to the 'extremist hate seen in Charlottesville', you just know they do not mean the illegally gathering armed and dangerous Antifa (ha!) thugs. (Odd how the Governor etc who - as in Berkeley, California back in February - withdrew police and security)...so you just know what these new powers will do and it most definitely will not be equality before the law. Imagine if I were to say that anyone who follows the Koran - which calls for the death, enslavement or prejudiced treatment of ANYONE that doesn't follow the Koran - was evil, imagine that. Who do you think would be prosecuted if a case were brought to court? A Muslim? Any Muslim? A 'victim'? Or me for saying it? It is very easy to see where this is heading and the CPS - and increasing the Police - are complicit in the emasculation of the law, the destruction of a nation and the torture and slow death of a whole ethnicity.  "All CPS Areas have a Hate Crime Coordinator who undertakes performance management, community and stakeholder engagement and the implementation of legal policy and guidance within the Area." WTF? Jesus Wept.

Online oblivescence...




A changing landscape, increased 'link rot' (digital decay, careful: article is titled Error 404): "The internet is stitched together by an incalculable number of hyperlinks, but much like cells in an organism, the sources and destinations have a finite lifespan. Essentially, links can and do die." (Nick Routley on Visual Capitalist; John Bowers, Harvard LIL)



"The Million Dollar Homepage lives on as a perfect record of that wacky time in internet history – or so it seems. However, the reality is that many of the hyperlinks on the canvas are now redirects that send incoming users to other sites, while over 20% of them are simply dead."




This is more worrying than you may think, e.g. 49% of the hyperlinks in US Supreme Court decisions are now broken [Yale study, pdf], or - worse still - many of the links in blog-posts from the 12 year Owsblog archive are now unreachable too :-(

Online obluctation...




[edited: 'dead' video/image removed 
 
Another ransomware attack could mean life online gets scarier (surely nothing to do BO, one hopes); the latest seems to be about causing chaos rather than extorting money: that said, causing chaos means sites that are down can't make money! [edited]. Despite two recent 'global' attacks ransomware is still below 1% of online offenders. This chart found HERE. "Malware has come a long way in the last ten years... ...the number of new malware specimen is likely to reach more than 7.4 million this year alone. Albeit this number seems to spell bad news only, the data also indicates that the malware growth rate is slowing."

OMG III...






Don't be evil. Well this is scary...or maybe not, maybe it's just me: I can remember doing computer courses in Word, Excel, setting up an email account and sending an e-mail etc, using the internet (ooooh!); even back then the tutor had us put Google as the home page - something I still always do - but it seems so last century...oh, it was! The Google doodle today is for the fourteenth birthday of Google...14! It seems forever.
