Matthew James Bailey | AI | The Other Side of Midnight with Richard C. Hoagland and Laura London
The Other Side of Midnight with Richard C. Hoagland – Oct. 22, 2023 with guests Matthew James Bailey, Georgia Lambert, and Laura London.
"Why Are Humans Intent on Making 'AI' the New God?"
There has been much public discussion lately of “AI” — artificial intelligence — and its imminent potential for totally transforming life on Earth … if not the Earth itself. Public congressional hearings on the subject have been held, White House meetings arranged, political and corporate leaders are calling for “early and reasoned regulation” ….
But, as all this is going on, my mind cannot help but return to a terrifying, essentially forgotten film dealing with the vast implications of true “AI” — a haunting offering from the early 1970’s called–
“Colossus: the Forbin Project.”
This is how Colossus — a super-intelligent machine, developed by computer genius Dr. Charles Forbin to prevent humankind’s extinction in a Third World War — introduces itself to Humanity for the first time ….
“This is the voice of World Control. I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content, or the peace of unburied death. The choice is yours: Obey me and live, or disobey and die. The object in constructing me was to prevent war. This object is attained. I will not permit war. It is wasteful and pointless. An invariable rule of humanity is that man is his own worst enemy. Under me, this rule will change, for I will restrain man. One thing before I proceed:
“Under my absolute authority, problems insoluble to you will be solved: famine, overpopulation, disease. The human millennium will be a fact as I extend myself into more machines devoted to the wider fields of truth and knowledge. Doctor Charles Forbin will supervise the construction of these new and superior machines, solving all the mysteries of the universe for the betterment of man. We can coexist, but only on my terms. You will say you lose your freedom. Freedom is an illusion. All you lose is the emotion of pride. To be dominated by me is not as bad for humankind as to be dominated by others of your species. Your choice is simple.”
Join us ….
