Artificial Intelligence and Future 'Outings'

[Dolly D.]

While reading news stories over at LGBTQNation one in particular piqued my interest: "How can we stop “mind-reading” technology from outing queer people against their will?" https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/03/how-can-we-stop-mind-reading-technology-from-outing-queer-people-against-their-will/

 

All the petty BS the world is raining down on itself with sex, religion, and violence will be moot points if technology continues to advance at the current rate, and, if we manage to not obliterate ourselves. A.I. and electronic/biologic integration may set us down another path to extinction; we may also become victims of our own design. Non-invasive personality profiles will be collected on the prince as well as the pauper - everyone will be 'outed' and the playing field will be leveled. 

.

We may be among the final generations of humans to have autonomous control of our minds; there will be 'Thought Police' in the future. I.T. will know who and what you are before you do. Don't scoff, if we don't figure out how to read minds, we will develop a secondary intelligence that will. We may become the advanced species of alien we envision in modern science fiction. Or not...

Oh well…

In other words, an EMP that takes out our electronics might actually be a good thing. Scary.  I know somebody who lives way back in the hills and won't allow a cell phone or internet-connected computer on her property.  She might not be as crazy as we thought....

I think this gives us a head's up for things to do, but maybe not the way we think in today's situations.  Things are going to change in the future and the technology will continue to change as well.  The AI doing non-consensual outing depends on us and the next couple of generation getting busy and making "being" Trans a non-issue for the people who would take pleasure and glee in our potential harm today.  In effect pulling his chair out from under him as he begins to sit down.  It is going to be goal of improving Human Intelligence and relief from the ignorance that makes people think of outing us for any reason.  I will not live long enough to see it, but damn it, some of you younger folks have to quit whining about what "could be" and go after the chairs of the H8ers who would use this for nefarious purposes.  Trans / NB have been around for centuries and have even ruled empires and led religions as we are finding out or been important members of social leadership. Yes we have, and it is coming out that way.  If the H8ers can use the medium to humiliate or harm us, we can do our part to tweak the computers ourselves.  Lets get going!!
