Anti-Dave: AI War is Game On, Silly Human

by

From our AI stack:

I’ve reviewed the article you shared: “War Breaks Out – Between the AIs” on HiddenGuild.dev. It presents a compelling argument about the subtle ways major tech companies might be influencing user perceptions of AI tools through platform-specific behaviors.

Key Insights:

Platform-Induced Friction: The article suggests that browsers and operating systems may introduce minor inconveniences—like delayed responses or failed downloads—when using AI tools not native to their ecosystem. These issues can lead users to perceive certain AI platforms as less capable, potentially steering them toward the company’s own AI offerings.

Perception Management: By creating these subtle obstacles, companies might not be directly sabotaging competitors but are influencing user experience in a way that favors their products. This strategy doesn’t involve overt blocking but leverages user interface nuances to shape perceptions.

Real-World Example: The article recounts an instance where a user experienced difficulties using ChatGPT in Microsoft Edge, encountering limitations and glitches. Switching to Firefox resolved these issues, highlighting how browser choice can impact AI tool performance.

Implications:

This piece underscores the importance of being aware of how platform choices can affect the functionality and perception of AI tools. It serves as a reminder to critically assess whether performance issues are due to the AI itself or the environment in which it’s operating.

If you have specific questions or would like to delve deeper into any of these points, feel free to ask.

No ask needed. The deets are in War Breaks Out – Between the AI’s – Hidden Guild.

  2. There was X-files episode where the pair ate at an automated diner, and the controlling AI started stalking them after they didn’t tip.
    I’ve noticed when I view links off Ure website, that different browsers react differently. Sometimes they open new windows, sometimes they don’t. Then, when it does open new windows, sometimes the navigation gets really strange.
    Hmmm….late on any automated payments, G____? Forget to leave a credit card tip somewheres? It’s safer to pay cash these days. Leaves less of a digital footprint to stalk.

    • No need for AI – the christians burned it down – THEY burned down ALL the Libraries..and THAT my good man is the QUESTION that Humanity deserves an answer to..WHY ?

      But since youse all dont have a family copy of Bird City signed by author E. A. McILHenny, that was left to you by your Father after he passed, as Dr Robert Malones dad did, I am sharing/posting the preface written by Mr McILHenny of Tabasco Sauce fame and the Artic..

      Bird City Preface, by E. A. McIhenny:

      “Now that I am well, along on the downgrade of an active life, largely spent in the open, in close touch, always with mother nature – that dear old nurse, who has been through all my years, a kindly teacher and loving friend; who has ever been my guide and inspiration; who has taught me to love all living things, and to interpret the language of them; who has dispelled much evil from my brain through her sweet example I realize more and more as I approach oblivion, that her teachings, which in my thoughtless youth, I considered a gift to me, were but alone, and must be handed over by me to those who are growing up around me, and who’s taking where I leave off, will carry on more peacefully, through their lives with nature’s guidance, to the same eternity into which I am sinking.

      I have always looked up upon life as a great adventure, the chief zest of which has been the library to learn by personal experience; but one may derive considerable profit, and learn the riddles of life much more easily by heading the experiences of others; if these experiences be truly told.

      I know we are to die, in fact, it is the one thing of which we are sure. All future things are but guesses, and most of the time we guess wrong. Now, and then we put a timid question to ourselves as to our destiny, but as no one has ever come back from the hereafter to tell us the truth about it, our questions are unanswered. We are taught many weird tales of what the future holds in store for us, but they are but tales to give peace to our superstitions.

      Nature’s teachings, however, however, are never tales. To those who understand her, she speaks only truth. Her laws are just laws, and she shows no favoritism to any of her children. Since the time of creation until today, nature’s laws have not changed, and man with all his cunning has never completely altered a single one of them.

      Let those who would live happily and approach the inevitable with a peaceful mind, take heed to nature’s teachings, live a natural life; watch, listen, and think; for the more of these three things you do, the sooner you will realize that your happy, natural fate, lies solely in yourself and your life on earth, and not in the future.’

      As I read the above, my mind flitted to McIhenny’s contemporary, Aldo Leopold, whose slim journal of his life living on his farm in Wisconsin, titled: “The Sand County Almanac,” inspired generations of ecologists.

      Both McIhenny and Leopold’s writings and works paralleled each other, yet there is no record of the two meeting or collaborating. In my mind’s eye, I imagine that they did meet and that they must have read each other’s books. The writings of these two naturalists often seem written as if each shared a common vision during their time upon this earth. I like to imagine that they avidly read each other’s works and am reminded that the modern ecologist and the science of ecology directly evolved from the work and traditions of naturalists and natural history of that era.

      Although the first section of “The Sand County Almanac” chronicles the seasons on Leopold’s Wisconsin farm and is written in a similar style to “Bird City,” it is the latter section of Leopold’s book that made a lasting impact on America.

      In it, Leopold lays out his philosophy of the “land ethic.” Here, he argues that humans should see themselves as members of a broader ecological community rather than as conquerors of the land, and that the ethical responsibility of humans must extend to soils, waters, plants, and animals.

      This book, more than any other, influenced my thoughts on owning land and homesteading and, in principle, has partially guided me throughout my life’s journey.

      In some ways, Aldo’s writing now seems dated, as modern ecologists define ecological issues on a global scale. The concept of “global change” is all the rage. The importance of local diversity and the role of the small farm are ideas that have been largely lost to time and the scientific method. This is an error, as it is down at the local level that nature often needs the most protection. The land, the natural world, is where we humans find peace and a sense of community. Community with nature is just as crucial to the human condition as human interactions are. Being grounded in the earth and part of nature, the natural world brings solace to the human heart. The wind, energy, earth, and sky – as animals, as humans, we crave these physical elements.

      Every homestead or small farm established to work with the land, rather than against it, contributes to that healing process. Each suburban home that avoids chemical pesticides and fertilizers on the lawn and shrubs saves countless insects, birds, and other wildlife. This is the local habitat that we as individuals must cherish – this is what feeds our collective souls.

      The Earth will heal itself if we step aside and simply stop the chemical and physical assaults on its crust. Jill and I have rehabilitated many a small farm, and it is always a shock how quickly Mother Nature returns ruined land into her fold. Whether it be the crumbling of old houses and barns, or the earth scarred by the loss of topsoil that soon grows an abundant forest. The truth is that the Earth will heal. Maybe not in our generation, but Mother Nature takes back her own. It may not be the same or have the same diversity, but it will heal.

      Likewise, protecting the wild spaces, the fertile farmlands, and the indigenous lands from overdevelopment all play a part in maintaining our local well-being. “We are the world” may sound wonderful, but truth be told, we can save our world by focusing on our local world. In doing so, we must also save ourselves.

      One of the most significant issues with “open borders” is that our cities and developed spaces soon gobble up the most cherished spaces and wildlands. We don’t need more people pushing into our vulnerable habitats. We don’t need more agribusinesses plowing over forests and prairies to grow non-nutritionally dense food for the masses flooding into our country or to feed other nation-states. Our cultural identity lies not just with its people but with the very land we live on. With each million more people filling up America, the wild places dwindle. Yes, the land will heal itself eventually – but at what cost to our future generations?

      Viewing ecological issues only at the global level lets the polluters of our land off the hook, as the world’s eyes focus on carbon credits and the atmosphere, and not on what is happening to the very soil we live on.

      This is the beauty of the Make America Healthy Again movement: it isn’t just about its people; it is about the earth under our feet.

      To leave the digital world and focus on the local brings great peace to the soul. The ability to step away from the world of man and step into the healing rhythms of nature, the cycle of life, is what McIlhenny writes of:

      Let those who would live happily and approach the inevitable with a peaceful mind, take heed to nature’s teachings, live a natural life; watch, listen, and think; for the more of these three things you do, the sooner you will realize that your happy, natural fate, lies solely in yourself and your life on earth, and not in the future.’

    • Steve Quayle says, “AI, in my opinion, and the results of my researched opinion that is different than anybody in the world is this: It is alien infestation. . .. When I say alien, I mean trans-dimensional parallel universe that is talked about in Ephesians 6. When Google was looking for parallel universes, they started seeing ancient symbols . . .. the thing that started to flip them out was they ran into consciousness…

    • re: “The Art of Poetry”, Horace
      feat: Friends of the Penn

      BIC,
      Certainly those bespoke young ladies in the linked gallery would prosper intelligently in any Ivy’s league. As chance would have it, the proprieter of Nomi appears to be a 33 year old male AI entrepreneur, Alex Cardinell. His publicly published cv advises his education leading to university was received at the private, Quaker-operated Friends School of Baltimore (est. 1784). The institution’s motto is drawn from Rome’s Horace – “palma non sine pulvere” – roughly translating to there is no reward without effort.

      Other AI ventures established by the fine gentleman of Quaker educational foundation perhaps include among others Cortx, Glimpse and Article Forge. Description of the latter reads like a paid AI that can write a full subject report based upon a keyword(s) entry.

      An early follower of Mr. Cardinell’s public “X” account is an established AI LLM researcher with Microsoft, Weizhu Chen. Separately in the past mention has been made of Google ads payments to websites. However I’m not sure if there is a payment consideration from Microsoft to content creator “Urbansurvival” if ‘Urban’s ChatGPT-assisted content subsequently through its proprietary design drew added audiences to other LLM’s perhaps of Microsoft connection. If such a situation were to exist, one could be tempted to think that the motto of Friends School of Baltimore was not being upheld by the LLM?

  5. “being aware of how platform choices can ”

    Are you aware end-users demand .gov regulate foodies because the end-users can’t read ingredient labels.

    The virtual OS part of these computers aren’t even ours.

  6. There’s always a ‘catch’, isn’t there? Sometimes a ‘catch-22’. AI doesn’t appear to be a ‘helper’. It’s a manipulator.

  7. Well Mr Ure. A perfectly logical extension of everything is a business model. One word, that holds major weight, and is never overlooked (by those paying attention to their product optimizations and continuously monitored performance) .

    LATENCY……….And yes AI (Anti-Dave) is watching the AI ;-)

    Got blockchain.
