I saw an Instagram post about the cafe DAWN (Diverse Avatar Working Network) in Tokyo, Japan that is utilizing artificially intelligent robot waiters for remote use workers with disabilities. The robots, created by Ory Labs, inc., were specifically designed for extending inclusion into the workforce for people with disabilities.
These workers are bed bound and can’t perform an 8 hour job. They can wait tables remotely via the robot. This is wonderful for the workers. However, there are some who have major concerns about the integration of advanced artificial intelligence-based automation.
The Caution over Artificial Intelligence and Animation
Artificial Intelligence and robotics have been receiving major backlash due to its current low positive impactful, potential to replace human workers via automation in an already shrinking job market, and the unpredictability of Artificial Intelligence as well as its lack of common sense. For the whole of mankind, Artificial Intelligence is the Frankenstein monster that has the potential to bring about the obsolescence of Mankind. Its reach isn’t only limited to the service and manual labor fields. As AI and Automation has reached into education, law enforcement, religion, social engagements such as marriage and relationships, parenting, adult products and services (it may even end the demand for human sex workers), the need for human input or influence will become less. This will be the big picture that can put severe limitations on the continual development and growth of mankind. It can make mankind more dependent on governing rulers who, having such technology in their hands, can become tyrannical dictators far beyond the likes of Hitler. Indeed, without GOD, mankind will consider its fate to be in the hands of government rulers who control resources such food, water, and other necessities.
Upside of a Downside
The restaurants use of the robots is noble. However, this restaurant is one of few examples that implement the use of Artificial Intelligence and Automation for as tools to benefit the greater good of the mass population rather than tools to maximize profits. Hopefully, this is the direction that that use of Artificial Intelligence will take. I hope that persons with disabilities will not be exploited to condition the mass populace to accept Artificial Intelligence and Automation. We must be careful. We want to help those in need.
Appen – mining humans for Artificial Intelligence (AI) development Appen is highly focused on (AI) development. AI is one technology that will lead us to the Mark of the Beast faster. It’s also not intelligent – it’s aggravating. The bots are the worst. The only thing worse than the bots are the humans that you are connected with once you get past the bots. They are on a mission to be unhelpful and act like they don’t understand anything that you say beyond anything that neatly fits in with scripted dialogue or company directives. No complex thinking skills or higher order reasoning required. They justified the use of the artificial intelligence to replace humans. Appen is helping to further this agenda and employing you to do it.
As a former educational technology columnist for Examiner.com, I have observed the evolution of Science. Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics in education. In fact, when I was in college and a recent college graduate in 2002, I notice this big push for S.TE.M. education and degrees. You were basically locked out of the job market if you didn’t have a degree in any of those fields – unless you know somebody that could get you a job (wink, wink). Career day wasn’t too kind to you if your major wasn’t in either of those fields.
I wondered, what is the point of offering degrees in anything other than the biological and physical sciences, engineering, mathematics, and technology if they weren’t were marketable. Degrees outside of them would have no more worth than a leisure class. However, now it is all making sense. S.T.E.M. degrees and the tech and fields which, ultimately they all will lead you to, are those which train – program – humans to build their own destruction – obsolescence. Nothing alerts one more of this than the study of Robotics. Robotics was pushed heavily in junior high and high schools. Here in Baton Rouge, schools such as Woodlawn High School, Kenilworth Middle School, and Scotlandville High School had prominent robotics programs. I thought that it was wonderful at the time because it gave me content to write about when educational technology was still burgeoning – it was not yet common place as it has been since the Pandemic. There was even a S.T.E.A.M. school here, Mentorship Academy, they are now Helix Mentorship STEAM Academy. I though that it was great. This is before I learned in depth about God’s Word, the end times, the NWO and their agendas. It’s all leading to the self-destruction of mankind.
In a nutshell, is creating its own mankind murderer. It is creating and teaching technology to be perform than mankind itself. Sophia, the artificially intelligent robot has already cried – kill all humans. Why would she say that? She says it because she lacks common sense. It has been reported that most Artificial Intelligence lacks common sense. It has no complete, complex thinking skills nor higher order reasoning. It sees a problem, and its solution to the problem is to destroy it altogether – it doesn’t matter the cost nor outcome. It doesn’t have the ability to incorporate moral reasoning in it’s problem solving. This is much like the ideology of progressivism – ultimately, it lacks common sense. It is line a spoiled child – no highly demanding, rushed, no empathy and selfish. It is like the Daleks from the television show Doctor Who that yell “Exterminate, Exterminate” when they encounter humans.
Thus, conducting business them will be difficult. They will function as a poor-performing bureaucracy on steroids. A near infinite amount of redtape to navigate only to be lead on a road to nowhere.
Like John Henry the Hammering Man of the Ballad of John Henry who, during the Industrial Revolution, was known for being the fastest and strongest tunnel builder for the railroads, mankind will not be able to keep up compete with the work output of the technology it created. Thus, rendering itself obsolete.
For a little predictive programming, though the Ballad of John Henry is predictive programming as well as an observation of currents times of the 1870s. The Cosby Show shares The Ballad of John Henry on it’s Surf’s Up episode.
Cosby Show also discusses robotics in the 1985 episode Vanessa’s New Class. Vanessa is placed in an advanced science class that has a science competition. Vanessa creates a model of the solar system for which gets her first low grade. One of Vanessa’s classmates and friend, whose father happens to be an electrical engineer, gets first prize for a robotics project. The gentle push towards robotics as a regular subject of study back then was being given.
Why do people in these fields continue move forward with the progress of self-destructing technologies for mankind once they recognize it’s devastating potential and impact? Is their thinking that linear – that narrow-minded?
Jesus says in Revelation 2:12-13 KJV that Satan’s seat is in Pergamos which is also known as Pergamum. Pergamos is where is now called Bergama, İzmir Province, Turkey.
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Pergamum: Where satan dwells is a documentary by Appian media that explores Pergamos.
The metaverse is a digital creation of an interactive reality that can more easily accessed and altered by individuals. However, the questions posed by myself many and others is:
Is it a universe or multiverse? Will the metaverse remain as it is – decentralized? Will it turn into a universal metaverse How is it most functional? Which is mode is best for society?
Is it a universe or multiverse? So far it is decentralized in nature, thus making it a multiverse as such. Questions we seek to explore are:
There are many digital platforms that qualify as metaverses on their own such as Cryptovoxels, Roblox, Metahero, IMVU (my go to), Sandbox, World of Warcraft, Gather.Team, and PokemonGo. These platforms are used many purposes – work, play, commerce. They can utilize virtual reality, augumented reality or both.
With the above said, there is no one unified global metaverse platform. Right now, the metaverse is a multiverse. One can exist in many digital, and the case of augmented reality, physical, incarnations such as in Jet Li’s movie The One.
Will the metaverse remain as it is – decentralized? Indeed, there is no one digital alternate reality that mirrors the real world.
On platforms such as Roblox, IMVU, Second Life, and Avakin already offer that which those such as Sandbox offers.
How is it most functional? Why hype up this concept of the metaverse?Being decentralized as it is, it is reminscent of the internet prior to big social takeover – monopolies by companies such as Facebook and Google. Prior, to Facebook and Google centralizing the internet – there was more autonomy and more niche enclaves – more variety and choices. Independent thinking and unique interests – individuality – lead the charge lead the charge. However, big social encouraged and environment of conformity and uniformity – group think – infuenced by selected and paid public figures. Governance Vs. Autonomy is the issue that concerns us. Which is best?
Governance The missing element seems to be universal governance. A one global metaverse equaling to or even replacing the physical growing global society would probably, though I don’t recommend, a one world government of sorts.
Autonomy The point of the digital worlds is to access the freedom and liberty that is limited by physical world – socially, spiritually, morally, biologically, and legally. However, in the ever-growing socialist led global society of physical world, social behavior measured by the standards of progressivism rule. Such rule and any other type of heavy-handed rule would crush the purpose of the metaverse for the everyday individual.
