Whoa I had never even heard about that. It does sound entirely possible though given how fast AI has progressed. We are simply not ready for where it may be headed next

Was it your number fake you called from? I'm asking because usually I tell to the people if they get that kind of a call to hang up and call back. Now I'm curious if our calling back would direct us to the scammer. Hope it all ended well for you and your parents.

Also, it's a bit the same as with photos when those were new, as Dead Domain pointed out. It's not that hard to make a photo show a context that is way different from the reality of where the photo was taken. Wanna see me get attacked by a monster cat? No AI or photo editing needed. So I also wish to caution people in phrasing it like the AI is the scary thing. AI has no plans to misinform you and disenfranchise or kill people, nor any desire to do anything. To me that seems a bit like saying a hammer is scary, when it's only an danger adding risk is there's already danger, and I can promise you that the hammers didn't cause that situation. And sure, when the AI is used to misinform and harm, like it is, it's totally fair and correct to say the AI is scary. When some lunatic is aiming a bazooka at you, I will agree that the bazooka is really scary. But we have to realize it's not the bazooka that makes it scary. If there's a bazooka in a museum in a glass cabinet you can walk around and you're in front of the bazooka, there's still a bazooka aimed at you and it's not scary. But the bazooka also does nothing when you walk away. You phrased it as "the AI thing", in the context of how it was addressed in this video: how it's used to polarize and misinform people. That's a good way to phrase it. Someone else could've posted a similar comment and just have said: AI is really scary, implying that it's the AI that makes it scary. AI just made it easier and faster to use and spread than using hand made illusions, but the principles of propaganda and misinformation have existed since the first multi celled organism gave an incorrect impression that another one fell for. And that can be very useful, so the existence of butterflies tells me. We are just far more complex than that, with more complex desires and agendas. And ultimately: what works, works. Bennie Chapstick basically says: you kill one baby, we're justified in nuking your entire ethnic group out of existence. And the image works to fuel rage, racism, and black and white thinking, regardless if people know it's a fake image. It's posted in a context of a world where we know that islamic terrorism targets civilians. AI did nothing there. It might as well have been a picture of a burnt turkey at thanksgiving, or a burnt out log. It did help to visualize, so it's more effective than text alone. What makes it effective is the sudden barrage of information that you don't have to put effort in to read. Simple words and word combinations that stand out help to steer the thought of the viewer: murder, killing babies. We're drawn to such words and phrases just as much as we are to seeing faces even when there are none. Imagine if the picture had the caption: Thanksgiving in a hospital. The effect would be way different. It's not the AI that makes it scary but our lack of understanding and lack of awareness of how our psychology works and is used to inform and/or trick us. And we have a lot of information on that. Advertisers and doctors have extensive studies at their disposal that have been used for over a century. We should be as informed on how our brains are treated as we want to be on what is in our food and medicines, and it's simply ignored for the most part by most people, thinking our intuition, the thing that is exploited with centuries of in depth (publicly available) knowledge, will keep us safe. I'm sorry this is so long. I could write an entire book on every minute of video here. Dead Domain races and summarizes tons of complex aspects that intersect with other complex aspects of our lives and with the situations discussed. She does it amazingly well. I hope I can call her she/her. But it is also a lot of information, and it's still just a surface level of drawing connections between how our society is shaped by people who purposefully and successfully exploit our minds against us. And all we have to say about it is that they and the tools they use are kind of scary. The tools _are_ scary, but the one tool that we should learn more about is: information about our psychology and how it can be and is used against us. I am far more afraid of the ignorance of the general population than I will ever be about actual fascists. Fascists have never won. We are a very social species with lots of empathy and a sense of justice. But at the same time we dismiss the fascists as lunatics and the anti fascists as exaggerating. Progress is stunted, at the unnecessary cost of millions of lives and livelihoods of billions of people, aggression and violence increases, human rights are taken away for bigoted and conservative reasons, and so on and so forth. This is not because of AI, but because of manipulative language. AI just make it easier to produce and spread. The lack of resilience and awareness of manipulative language is the real danger here. And the mechanisms of AI that make it easier to spread and use makes it exponentially more dangerous. We've never properly addressed our vulnerability to manipulation and accept in our everyday lives that it's completely normalized in all of the global societies. We still underestimate its harms and dangers, and the fact that your first words weren't: "Wow, we're easily fooled", but, "This AI thing is really scary", shows that you live in a society were it's completely normalized to skip over the manipulation tactics that already existed and are just inflated to monstrous proportions by AI. By our ignorance we let fascism rise time and time again and we even encourage ignorance, while millions die because of it, with the excuse of freedom of choice (to be or not to be informed) and freedom of religion. That's not a choice though. Choice requires (demonstrably correct) information about the options and consequences - could be another book all by itself. Before AI, millions of people died and billions of livelihoods were diminished, all because of the acceptance of manipulation with fallacies, and we've ignored it for the most part and only blamed those who used it to harm people directly. Con artists, cult leaders, snake oil sales people, etc. But they only use what works. Mechanisms that are already there, and that we don't inform ourselves on to be more resilient against misinformation, fallacies, abuse, etc.. If we want abusers to stop finding new victims we have to discourage doing that, not just by frowning when they use AI propelled manipulation tactics, but by making people aware of how easily all of us are manipulated. I'm not immune either. When I fall for manipulation, I need someone else to point that out to me, but if I'm the only one who sees fallacies for the deadly toxins that they are and everyone around me will just say it's somehow "my choice", I'll just be another victim, suffering the consequences, losing friends, losing livelihood, fueling and perpetuating unnecessary suffering and death. So yeah, in conclusion, I am infinitely grateful for Dead Domain's work and for the fact that she's not the only critical thinker, increasing the chance that people come across critical thinking and that it will continue to be more normalized despite the endless criticism that we shouldn't point out correct information if someone rather be wrong and ignorant. It also takes off the pressure on Dead Domain. Imagine she _was_ the only one. If she took a break, critical thinking would just end. But we're also not watching those other videos right now and instead we're here. That's saying something as well :) Because yeah, I rather hear Dead Domain give her view than, for instance watch Here's What Ethical AI Really Means from Philosphy Tube, which happens to be in my side bar right now with a flashy, probably AI generated thumbnail, which is probably a great video and I might watch it some time. In the meanwhile I wish to encourage people to look a little deeper into how and why AI is used to manipulate people and populations, and that it wouldn't work nearly as well if we were given the tools to think critically because even when I fall for it, you can show me how that happened and that I did and _then_ I can make the choice to continue or inform myself better, unless you don't think critically or let me believe falsehoods, in which case I'll be victimized and an abuser and enabler, without my choosing that role. The harms of accepting fallacies as excuses being so normalized have always been extensive and out of control. AI inflated the harms and speed and reach exponentially. Maybe a good time to rethink our "free will" policy and consider that we don't need it to make choices, but that we need knowledge and cognitive tools to make choices. Just like we need knowledge and cognitive tools to do maths and speak.

​@@stylis666im not reading all that but i assume its probably really smart or something

That's nuts. Some guys scammed my grandma out of $8,000 with that one, but her mind was really going and they had to have another guy pretend to be my brother in jail. The AI angle is extra evil.

Yeah, you shouldn't. Every demographic should disavow their crazies.

Considering the audience he caters would just as soon round him up and send him to a camp if they held the power they desire, I don't think anyone expects that he would be representative of your group. He, like Candace Owens and Dave Rubin, ignores the bigotry in order to be considered "one of the good ones" by a disproportionately powerful, wealthy demographic that rewards those who will speak out against the interests of themselves and the group to which they belong.

Thank you so much for this. You have no idea how much it means to me and how nervous I’ve been in taking on this topic.

@OP, it angers me that some ignorant people blame ALL Jewish people for what a far-right religious minority is doing. May you, your family and community remain safe.❤

I think its safe to say that many sane people dont support anyone who contributes to the killing of innocent people. Which leaves the only sane thing to do is support the victims on both sides of this conflict and condemn the actions of those that continue to contribute to the insanity no matter what nationality they are, as I'm sure the Jewish and Arabic are not the only ones feeding this war.

Yup! I feel the exact same way, free Palestine but fuck the antisemites using this as an opportunity to be bigoted

Your community is scared? Not as scared as Palestinians who are having rockers and white phosphorus rained down on them. Sorry but this "Jews in other countries" are scared stuff rings so hollow to me.

@@deaddomain But is that engagement healthy and positive for those who participate? Your content is excellent, but you seem to be staring down the barrel of an ethical dilemma, a moral conundrum. The platform rewards you for playing to the fears and frustrations of your audience, which in this moment even requires biting the hand that feeds you. But that hand is the hand of a master, not a mother. Some hands need to be bitten sometimes. What Elon Musk has planned for X would literally be dystopian. And as a software engineer myself, what that man did to that company and its employees was beyond unacceptable. There was a time, many years ago, where I thought maybe Elon Musk could be the Dr Quest our world needed. Turns out, he's the Dr Venture we deserve.

It was the best platform for realtime news on literally anything, especially grassroots things. Protest in your city? Follow the hashtag. Ongoing war? Follow the hashtag.

​@@Pasture_Primethats a lot of quotes for not adding a whole lot

What caused the newly formed Israel to be so aggressive against their neighbors? Were there some sort of conflicts occurring in the former Ottoman Empire where Jews felt persecuted or were being killed? Was there some sort of huge support among the Arab community, including Iran (who renamed themselves during World War 2 to more closely align with Germany's love for Aryans), for "getting rid" of the Jews in their area? And what happened to the Jews living in the surrounding Arab countries who immediately declared war on Israel? Surely the humanitarian governments left them in peace, and promised to always protect them... right?

@The2012Aceman Why did the allied powers renege on their agreement for independence when the indigenous populations fulfilled their end of the bargain? Why did Zionists smuggle weapons en masse, which sparked the Arab Revolt? Why were Zionist militias aiding the occupying force in oppressing the indigenous populace? Why were certain Zionist militias trying to recruit of Nazis in their fight against the British in 1942 and then subsequently allowed to integrate into the state of Israel? What does this say about Zionist values and priorities? I can't directly link sources, so look up the Haaretz article, "Zionist Militia’s Efforts to Recruit Nazis in Fight Against the British Are Revealed".

​​@@The2012Aceman It's not really Israelis themselves so much as the colonialist government that founded the modern nation. I'm sure some of the current anti-Palestinian hate is rooted in racism, but at first it was simply "these people are indigenous to where we want to build a country and we have to get rid of them, so we're going to convince everyone they're bad." It's the same idea as the English settlers toward Native Americans. Israel was never formed to be the "safe homeland of displaced Jewish people," it was just an excuse to gain land, but those displaced Jewish people did buy into it (they were of course extremely traumatized). But Palestinians would have welcomed them as refugees and immigrants into their own nation- they just never had the option because of the government's violent genocidal campaign. A sad fact some scholars have shared is that because Israel was ancient Jewish land, the Palestinians are likely the descendants of ancient Jewish citizens who converted to different religions (there are Muslim Palestinians, but also Christian Palestinians and many other faiths) to survive... It's horrible how they've been turned against each other by the evil, land-hungry government. Tl;dr: Although many Israelis ARE in support of Palestinians and condemn the IDF's actions, the hatred some Israelis and the Jewish diaspora feel toward Palestine stems from government propaganda utilizing religious and racial conflict.

@@The2012Aceman Israel was a colonialist project from the start. Which inherently means genocidal ambitions. Seriously. Read a few books about Israel.

@@michimatsch5862 Let's try a fun one: People who support Hamas believe that their actions are justified because they are being oppressed and persecuted. In 1948, when Israel declared statehood, were they being oppressed and persecuted? Was there some sort of international resentment against Jews at the time? Was there some sort of tension between the Jews in the Middle East and their Arab neighbors? And since we're talking about genocidal ambitions, I guess I have to ask: was there some sort of Genocide being conducted against the Jews at this time? Was there widespread support for it in the Middle East? How about Hamas's founding charter, any genocidal ambitions in that document?

I tip my fedora to you nonetheless

Unfortunately like almost everything in tech we are so far behind where we should be in regulation and legislation. Partially because lawmakers can barely work the technology and partly because of tech oligarchy like Musk. It’s a nightmare.

I struggle to see how folks can be pro-Palestine when they’d be killed for being who they are if they were to suddenly live in Palestine (pre-conflict). I saw a group of protestors and not a single 🏳️‍🌈 person who was there would be allowed to live. Nor would any of the women, given how they were dressed. I do not understand how someone can have that knowledge and be in favor of that.

@@hj7947 I struggle to see how people can be in favor of genocide. But here you are.

I’m anti-genocide. Go look at the history between those regions dating back to the 1950s, how many times did the Israelis strike first? If a country isn’t lashing out and historically hasn’t done so-then eventually they will have a tipping point. This is that point. You think I want to be deployed over there? Because I don’t. But I want Israel to be allowed to exist even moreso than I want to stay safe and warm in my bed. But go off if it makes you feel better, I guess.

I understand the sentiment but for those of us who are sex workers and artists, Twitter is the best and most profitable platform for that kind of content and moving platforms you’re going to loose a big chunk of followers, it’s just what happens. And for a lot of us, that is the loss of a lot of money we cannot afford, especially smaller creators and people doing this to survive.

@guytrashgurtdog There is still almost always a strong unwillingness to spread out or consider other places or personal safety or even just not slowing down unessential twitter use that goes beyond the argument of it being about monetary livelihood. I'm an artist who felt reliant on twitter and grew a more reliable audience by not relying on it because for artists, it isn't even a strong way to build a commission base because people aren't on the platform to find commissions and if you're any kind of artist who doesn't prefer fan art then you'll be passed up in the engagement machine. It's just not the golden goose people think it is especially right now

Honestly, the current methods of AI art production are kinda lame. I want to figure out how to properly teach a computer all the essentials of art so I can generate *actual* art.

That's literally what art is, though. You "remix" reality, may it be nature or art created by others before. Big part of becoming good as an artist is analyzing and copying the works of others.

@@AnoNymous-tu1xm yes, as an artist you PRACTICE by copying others Guess what you don't do with those. Sell them. And you cannot seriously believe that a human simply copies stuff from other artist while they draw/paint. Me drawing a line in a similar way to my favorite artist is not the same as literally tracing their art. They tried that crap with the music industry and got kicked out pretty much immediately because at least there they have decent copyright enforcement. If an artist steals parts of someone else's art then... That's stealing (wow). Has happened with digital art before, wasn't received well. Why do machines get the okay to do something we decided wasn't okay to do?

@@AnoNymous-tu1xmexcept humans have a brain with thoughts, emotions, dreams, wants, needs, etc. a computer will never be comparable to a human being. We can look at art and get inspired and create art, but behind that art is an actual soul. What’s behind AI art has no soul and is just a computer taking a bunch of art and spitting out something from mashing shit together. The computer is quite literally just copying and has no sentience whatsoever, it’s just a computer. We allow AI art to be considered art then actual artists are fucked and risk losing jobs and the capitalist dystopia only worsens. We do not need computers to make full art pieces for us when literal human artists exist and most are struggling just to get by and could use that money.
