Originally published at: WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? ALBANIA'S NEW A.I. GOVERNMENT MINISTER
Well, we knew this was coming eventually. Some nutcase government in some blighted part of the world would eventually think that appointing an artificial intelligence avatar to a governmental post - in this case, an entire ministry - was a good idea. In this case, the nutcase government is that of Albania. If you’re old…

As someone residing somewhere on this blighted continent I think I am going thru the stages once described by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. I don’t know at what stage I am because I seem to be stuck in a repeat loop for some reason! One thing I do know is that european countries are being puposely demolished. It is happening so fast that the bottom might drop out any day now. The good news might be that enough brainpower is left to build something totally new. We will have to, because we pinned ourselves in total isolation with no resources to speak of. I pray for our youth to be stricken with the Divine spark of equilibrium in reason and creativity so they can transform goodness in practicality worldwide, after so much of it was/is destroyed by socalled leaders bent on fattening themselves on pure evil!

YES!
Communist and/or Dictator are very simply interchangeable; they go hand 'n hand.
AND now they’ve christened a new governmental Marxism; with Algorithmic BYTE[$]!
LOL! AI to fight corruption!
The AI Ministry; will incorporate corruption, very deeply into Albanian government’s, new infrastructure!
Dielia, a seductive and treacherous woman.
AND of course, the government goes with standard operating procedure:
Lie after lie; right-out-of-the-damn-AI-gates!
100% incorruptible; 100% legible, etc., etc.
Even better; a micro-crud operating system: The Wholly of Back Doors galore!
A truly woke ambition: a straight-out of Renoir death-wish to fight for; joining the stinking, sinking EU.
An Albanian AI guinea pig.
All that’s missing: is its AI sovereign lipstick; plus, its non-negotiable Western-parroting, scripted-codes.
Albania’s Welcome Sign:
You checking into an Albanian Algorithmic AI Hellscape…
That you can never leave.
… many on GDS may be too young to remember Max Headroom so here is a sample. The thought behind Max was very far ahead of its time. Not anymore … Yes, what could go wrong?

Albania is a beta test. FBI will be alfa one😆
I remember watching him. One of the few interesting programs on television. Unfortunately I was not aware of the messages being conveyed in the content, just liked its quirkiness and unusual cartoonish format.
If the TRUTH be known:
AI is already running this globalist AI takeover; as the globalists - are just that stupid - to follow IT!
All the way to hell!
Yeah, it was different enough to hold my interest. The network bigwigs put me in the mind of the film “Brazil”.
Also, I’m a firm believer that we’ve got something like “blipverts” today. Nothing instantly deadly, like in the show, but rather insidious and layered…
Incidentally, the first time that I listened to “paramonia” was in a customized sound room a friend had put together… I remember the look of the “Bose 901’s”. Sounded amazing on that setup. That and “The Art of Noise”
Bose speakers made music very likable, I have a pair.

MTV has never been the same

MTV’s “decade of relevance” (to me) ended in the early 90’s. Being around 12 years old at its inceptetion, I feel like Gen X was a “perfect fit” to grow with it through our adolescence. When it came out I’d literally just graduated from a black and white TV and so in a way switched two gears at once. It was on in the background of my room more often than not. Was repetitive by nature sure, just as radio stations were, but there were quite a few videos that still stand out to me. Live “rent free” in my head as they say…After the early 90’s it just wasn’t the same.
Most of favorite artists actually pre-date MTV though. Rush, Tull, etc…for those I should have been born a decade EARLIER. Not that it matters I guess, since I really enjoy the Beatles and the Rolling Stones as well… even though I have no Sympathy for the Devil…

… I was already in my 20s when MTV hit. Life was already up and running so a little late for me to get hooked. Was and am still much more interested in listening than “watching”. Since we are speakering … My standard wall at this time consists of the following: … Kenwood driven ESS AMT 1Bs, Avid 103s, JBL L100s. My better half prefers her Carver driven Infinity RS Ils and a pair of Bose 901s. Different ears for different folks. 
I had four JBL box speakers with an amplifier mixer in my 1979 Mustang hatchback. Two were hung from the roof in the back. Luckily I never was in a collision!

Bose 901’s combined with Cerwin Vega’s and some strategically placed treble throughtout…
Oh! and analog tuners, drivers and EQ’s
My “midlife crisis” convertible is too loud for me to hear any music (rotary engine) but it’s fast and smooth. Usually long form podcasts like Giza entertain me on long trips anyway now. Music is better enjoyed at home. Recently found a nice dual deck tape player from way back to add to the madness. Going to transfer some of the old mix-tapes.

Let’s face it, you could do worse. At least Diella has a personality, unlike our own dear ‘leader’ and ‘statesman’ over here, Sir K. (as in Kafka). To play devil’s (or is it Ahirman’s?) advocate for a moment, I think she’ll have a lot of machine learning to do before she surpasses our own Sir K. when it comes to corruption. It takes real nouse - as we say in my part of the anglosphere - to appoint PM (AKA the Prince of Darkness) as our ambassador in Washington DC. Algorithms just couldn’t make it up.

Hard to beat out Sir K.
Even an advanced AI would be challenged, and that’s without any programmed guardrails.
Machine-learning is enforced status-quo.
Which, at the very least is: anti-white; agenda driven; loaded for bear with corporatism, well-funded global bureaucratic data banks galore!, cancel America with a woke-topia of political correctness to replace liberty, In God We Trust, and E pluribus unum.
With your Kingdumb’s leadership, it comes down to that ancient truism:
Possession is 9/10 of the law.
Although, Sir K look to be; at the very least, a 150% - Demon possessed.
Can AI beat the Devil Himself?
Well, that’s an interdimension-able question, for another day.
… the key phrase here is “machine-learning” … only dyads allowed here, a totally dyadic system, no matter how large the “database” and the “speed” (calculations per nanosecond or whatever terms the kids are using nowadays) epiphenomenal sentience will NOT occur. This is only a slightly updated version of the "if we only had more ‘storage’ " then sentience would occur. The real danger here is how easily the ordinary person is duped.

Garbage in: Garbage out.
The more the garbage, the more the status quo.
Remember, what is published; generally has already passed, through various filters.
So at best…
Sanitized garbage in; sanitized garbage out.
AND, most of us are in controlled environments…
Open-air hospitals…
Open-air prisons…
Or, in closed-algorithmic-loops.
Welcome to the asylum…
