Does the connectivity of large data centers to human interactions improve or decrease the ability to grok ?
@aurajenn
To answer your question Iāll speculate its to improve their interactions, at least in their minds. After reading the following article, Iāll also speculate their ultimate goal is to obfuscate what theyāre really doing with āgrokā.

Imagine how many humans NOT needed in government if administrators could just grok their questions for what to do? Technocracy at its finestā¦.

It makes me nauseous from a humanity existential view, to contemplate the lack, the degradation of thought, the devolution occurring in regards to the push for AI. And no, I donāt think I am being hyperbolic.
I was daydreaming last night: remember all those warnings from AI designers and programmers about AI and how it was terrible for humanity? No sci fi nonsense about them physically taking over the world- no, rather the removal of critical thinking and human initiative, creativity , once and for all.
No one is talking about those warnings anymore.
And no, this is not some luddite, 'oh humans will never fly in airplanes ā anti progress screed. This is far deeper than that.
This is not just some new mode of transportation.
This is not just a new media.
This is a thing that pretends to think, this is an infection that infiltrates , or wants to, all modes mediums and objects of daily human life. It canāt be ātamedā , made ānonpartisanā or made useful. It is inhuman and antihuman to the core.

Absolutely antihuman, and yet parasitic. The concept is to feed all that is good into the gaping maw of cubic databases with algorithms designed by algorithms.
A race to the bottom and beyond.
The result? Faux art, sans emotion, sans everything.

Iāve been reading this book published in 1977 about the rise and philosophy of engineers using technology to replace government and politics to solve the allocation of resources issue. The missing link to their data gathering problem is solved with the advent of computers and eventually AI. Though we are to believe the project was a failure and only lasted for couple of years out of Columbiaās newly created Industrial Arts college when the cochair was dismissed as a charlatan and the advent of Rooseveltās new deal, the idea stayed around and here we are with Muskās grandfather as a major proponent.
The basis of technocracy is replacing the price system in dollars and profits with an energy units and products produced based on need and not profit. Sounds like a utopian idea?
Communism without an ideology and of course the selective few social engineers will run things to a ābenevolent endā?
Remember Blackrockās push for DEI, damn the profitsā¦?

I just canāt fathom why anyone would find that attractive or think itās useful.
It is like pretending that cats are birds and giving them seed to eat and trees to live in . Itās just not natural, nor will it work.
Humans are not machines and any attempt to make them dependent on an external program and trying a one size fits all way to āmaintainā them will only lead in them breaking and dying off.

Have you noticed, it matters not what the masses want or like, there are others who donāt care what the masses want or like, and have the means to do and or try any experimental idea that comes to mind?

Leave it to Fort to say bluntly and honestly what others do not want to say. Indeed, what is some of them should not be coincidences. Personally, I worry less about conspiracy theories, than all of the ācoincidence theoriesā seemingly pushed by the powers that be, the propatainment media, &c.

After 80 years I have come to the conclusion that each of us is a Bit Player in Somebody Elseās Big Game!!! I love Samuel Hofmanās description of where we liveā¦that this is a Factory Planet!! And then the āgodsā brought us into existence as a Slave Race!! Pretty good description of what has been going on Behind The Scenes that we knew nothing about!! Also, Paul A. Wallis has a new book out, āEden Enigmaā! His Eden book series is a great account of his own Personal Journey! We each could relate our own Personal Journey; each one being unique!!

I wasnāt really paying attention until I started reading about Mo Gawdat, a former Google chief business officer (Egyptian background). Catherine Austin Fitts is recommending his latest book, Unstressable. He resigned his position, citing his concerns about where AI was going.
While looking him up, I saw articles on 3 different AI whistleblowers who died mysterious deaths, all labeled āsuicidesā - Cyrus Parsa was the last one who died in February. For some reason, they each died 7 months apart starting last year.

Having read Iain Davisā research about him, I donāt think so. However, there is a spooky coincidence about him taking his family to South Africa, and the fact that Peter Thiel also spent formative years in South Africa, and the British political theorist Nick Land, who developed the political philosophy both Musk and Thiel admire - the NeoReactionary movement, was in South Africa as well because his dad was a Shell Oil executive.
Thiel & Musk having Afrikaner ties (and many wealthy Afrikaners apparently admired the Nazis in their day, or so a white South African commentator observed on one podcast - was it Geopolitics & Empire?) Land would have been in the British South African group but one wonders.
Just a lot of coinkidinks, Iām sureā¦
