How to spot a robot?

Does substack have a are you a wobbot catcha?

Or a human detector?

Nope.

Thus anyone could be a wobbot?

And how would one see the dif between a wobbot and a privacy aware human?

At some point we have to ask where the line is.

More and more people are just following the pattern set for them. The “global mind” installs itself, and personal thought stops. CAPTCHA says it all, proving we’re human has started to look like proving we’re not already behaving like machines.

When thinking isn’t organic anymore, when it’s just pre-loaded narrative, the question becomes:

Which robot, then?

Acording to Kraftwerk, We are the robots.

And we have created the Man Machine Machine Machine Maaaachine!

But for sanity we really need to be able to tell the diff between electro mechanical minds and grey mass muscle memory organisms.

Max Headroom has to reveal his limped language model.

Wasnt that George Carlin?

With all the things we have seen in the past 40, 50, 100 years. Its shocking that its only a hand full people who actually wreck their brains to find solutions instead of pointing to the problem.

there really isnt many… and its not that hard and you dont need a 180 iQ ‘‘what country does good and stuff and folk aint pissed off all the time’’

‘‘oh right’’ ‘‘ok do what they are doing then as they doing real well’’

‘ ive got another good idea’’

‘‘what countries are doing real bad, and how do they do it’’

‘‘oh’’

‘‘its countries that do like we do’’

And that would sort it in one swift , oops cant use that word its soon to obselete BRICS has all ready done 4.maybe 7 ..so 4.7 trillion roubles through the new payment rail.. definatly 4. something i was crunching some math earlier and that was part of it…. any yes there we have it.

Max was running it processes in the same era, so they may have borrowed carlins brainwaves. :-)

BRICS: A double edged knife.

Understandable that they build their own system, but it could the privacy of the BRICS-sphere in the ass. (I assume that it will)

The Dutch have a massive AI driven 'Toeslagen Affaire' thousands of people got screwed by the govnerment. Childeren were displaced, some even disappeared. And eventhough this happened years ago, things were never solved. Worse, they now find more, that could be even worse, and probably is.
