The problem with that is, how many people are going to? And how many people will just find the misinformation fed to them to be an excuse to do what they want? We have tools to counter misinformation right fucking now. And you still have riots at the capitol building. Cops killing minorities, now imagine how much worse its going to be when they have "video evidence".

Exactly. And AI will know us down to our very core based on our online activities, our core belief systems what we WANT to be true is all that's going to matter. They will shove the truth you want into your face and start to "steer" you by putting information into your feed that you would be genuinely afraid of, manipulating the general public in ways most people won't understand. There is a fully AI generated podcast between Joe Rogan and Steve Jobs circulating right now. Do you really think people are going to take the time to verify everything? They're already falling for Government propaganda left and right as it is and the evidence presented to them is shit. Bow when the evidence looks crystal clear, sounds crystal clear and is genuinely pushed to very specific target audiences. It's going to get very dark very fast. Sadly the good honest politicians will have no way to fight against it. Legal loopholes will pop up left and right and partnerships will start to spread between anyone willing to sell their soul for money. A new generation of Hannitys and Alex Joneses will pop up, push their shit to people who want to believe.

Not only that, but neighbor will turn against neighbor. Imagine how easy it would be to fuck with the reputation of other people by just circulating perfected deep fakes of them doing shit. Some girl breaks your heart? Next level revenge porn, dude passes you off? Same shit just make it humiating and gross. Put people in gross and outlandish situation. Everyone is going to be shouting deep fake, and people are going to believe what they want. Sadly people are always being looked at through a camera as long as they're holding their phone. These AI systems gave already shown that they're capable of finding video of the moment a selfie is taken by finding internet connected cameras around the selfie at that time. As time goes on those cameras will only grow in number as everyone opts to connect ring video doorbells, Amazon purchased security cameras. Lots of members in my family even put cameras inside their home. Ai will have a perfect 3d image of you in seconds just by tracing your digital footprint. Tracking you through apps like Google maps, uber, doordash, anything with a location tracker. Finding cameras near you, getting every angle it can find.

Have you given apps access to your image folder and such? A lot of apps ask for it, and a lot of people just consent without thinking. And all it would take is having a company in another country make whatever video you want them to make, pushing whatever agenda you want the video to push and then air it on their networks, turn around and then broadcast that to your country as "evidence" create disorder and before the video even gets a chance to get fact checked the next video is already out and people don't care. It's crazy how short the attention span of the average person is getting. In the span of a few days they cam completely forget and stop caring about news they were militant about because they saw something new and scary on the news.

Yeah, the mental bubble idea fits perfect. I feel like a brain is necessary for my beliefs system tho, like, I think each of us is just basically AI running around as self contained computer systems, living life and helping the system find what is and isn't beneficial for a future society. And based on what we do in life the system will just drop us into another simulation that lends to either mending dangerous or hindering behaviors or advance us into a more advanced simulation where we advance further into the future. Basically "traveling back or forward through time to tame and cull certain flawed behaviors.

More or less we are in a permanent state of either moving forward or backwards based on our life choices.

I also support the being the only player in it bit. But more in the sense that we're each our own pocket universe and the universe creates probabilities for everyone outside of you. The people of course would genuinely exist in their own dimensions, and when you interact with them it would affect their home dimensions. It's a lot to type and would really make no sense unless broken down. I'd be better at talking ab it. But in short I do believe people are real but not real at the same time.

That's actually sort of a theory already circulating called Last Thursdayism

Yeah, I've been a big believer in simulated earth for a good while now. It makes sense to me. It also helps with a unified theory of everything imo. Including Gods, and the Devils. I'd say they're just representations and avatars of the civilization that created us, or parts of the machine created to balance the system and not let it devolve into anarchy and chaos. And I'd even wager there are neutral parts watching us as well. Eventually everything rolls in on itself and our cosmic karma will be weighed against us before we each get to jump into these other societies and civilizations with different standards than us. I could talk about it all day and not get bored.

Now, think. What if this was the thinking of another civilization that hit the asi milestone. And they wanted to see the evolution of different species in a simulation? What would happen if monkeys evolved into something sentient? And here we are.

See, people keep thinking of all the positive amazing things. What terrifies me, is what happens when you can't distinguish reality from AI generated scenes in the future? When it becomes so perfect it isn't even uncanny, just indistinguishable from real life? What happens when you can create AI of people doing whatever you want and pass it off as real? I'm sure corporations already own your likeness, will be able to use them however they want without consent due to copyright loopholes. Now imagine passing off the wrong person and having them create evidence against you that the average person would have no real idea was just the most advanced deep fake on the market and all they had to do was type up a story for their ai to digitize? Government propaganda will fit whatever the most aggressive and underhanded party wants. And we're already dealing with shady politicians in office. Imagine if Trump had access to a perfected deep fake?! It's scary as hell.
