How Did the Fake World Governments Arise?

Caesar Augustus, Roman emperor, seems to have a lot to answer for.

"This is not a call to chaos. It is a call to clarity"

Fresh from his investigations into our own fake democracy, and mindful that much of the world seems to be run by similar outfits, Ian Clayton (Ethical Approach UK) notes that this methodology  has been a long time in gestation.

And yet, if this situation were not in hand, there would be no call to point it up.

Truly we have come through the valley of the shadow of (Covid) death already, and certainly those were times that try men's souls.

We who have made it this far know that the darkness is deepest just before the dawn. And when the Light came, "the darkness comprehended it not".

Don't panic, keep faith, stay serene ...

Who has not heard of ChatGpt, Grok, etc? - Almost nobody.

Who understands how they work? - Almost nobody.

Who understands how good their results are? - Very few.

So of what use are they?

Well, as an improvement on a traditional search engine, they are indeed useful, especially if we are examining a reasonably cut-and-dried topic, say for instance, the Statute Book. It exists. It's not "fuzzy" except in so far as its provisions can be extremely complicated, even contradictory,  and thus not easily understandable by mere humans, which is one of the reasons we have hitherto had to have highly paid and experienced lawyers ... in an attempt to understand the output of our Parliamentarians ... ("but ignorance of the law is no excuse").

Now take a look at economics. Could an AI unravel the best economic policies for the country?

If you ask me, not a chance.

It's all far too uncertain and you'll probably never find a roomful of economists to agree on anything very much. When I was a student, the biggest most ponderous and least useful textbook was on Economics - it isn't a "science" because human beings and their predilections and choices are simply not overall capable of reliable prediction without taking into account all manner of extraneous factors. And economics is all about the choices of humans.

Are there areas in between that could benefit from a better type of AI?

Well, human-designed AI is still in its infancy, the "explosive growth" phase is almost certainly still current, and so the answer must be a resounding "yes!".

So, what form might an improved AI take?

"AlterAI is experimental software in active development. Responses may be inaccurate, incomplete, or occasionally unexpected. Always verify important information independently"

If you feel tempted, best do some rigorous testing ...

"Costs" may also be Punishment

Are legal "costs" now on occasion indistinguishable from fines?

Especially perhaps if the Justice system doesn't like you?

Martin Geddes, in his quest to establish the authenticity of the SJP (Single Justice Procedure) which is routinely used to try defendants all across the country, has been handed what he assesses as an exorbitant award of "legal costs" against himself, and suspects that he is in effect being punished for his temerity in challenging the system.

He is in effect being charged for a refusal to engage.

It's a bit like you call to see your doctor's receptionist to make an appointment, but he has no appointments available, and the receptionist charges you for giving you that information.

Do you agree?
