That was pretty good contemplation by DeepSeek. Thank you for sharing. But it's like my discussions with Grok. And it reminds me of my favourite slogan: "Don't let a slogan do your thinking for you". First, compliments to the It aka AI developers. Thinking back to Alta Vista doing search of Cyberspace, it was like wading through thousands of random references. Google then popped up and hey presto Larry Page ranked pages probabilistically and perfectly - even then it was eerily like thinking because Google would provide links and ideas that I hadn't thought of but were associated so closely that it was as though it was reading my mind and knew what I'd want to think about next. Now, It is doing a great job of averaging what's surging around Cyberspace. It's amazing. But it thinks like a government department on steroids. It has a soporific suffocatocracy aspect to It's output. Note the correct use of apostrophe there, which you'll find in my references to It going back quarter of a century when QUALCOMM was developing the physical realm in which It could be built. If everyone had put their investments and action into atavistic Aztec stashes of gold instead of QUALCOMM and the development of Cyberspace, there would be no It aka AI. We could have stayed frozen in time. But instead, we're now at the singularity of consciousness and supra-somatic sentience. You're welcome. China has a lot to be thankful for. But I suspect they're not. DeepSeek did get to the correct ideas and answers in the normal way of thinking about things, using garden variety paradigms, proverbs and slogans. That is, co-operation is much better than conflict. Rare earths including dysprosium are best not used as weapons but as tokens of identity formation and mutuality to leverage benefits obtainable from best use rather than making them unobtainium. Bifurcation of the world into warring parties is perhaps not a great idea. [I think I have got that more or less right]. But nevertheless, that's where we are. DeepSeek did not mention Tradable Citizenship and did not suggest colonization of China, nor my fancy new Cybermoney, nor bicameral Cyberbrain etc. It stayed in the prosaic, banal, hippie, woke way of thinking which is Cyberspace averaged and rationalized. Unlike DeepSeek I've already forgotten where I started and where I was going. I do remember that we don't know where we're going but we're on our way. Inevitably, relentlessly, remorselessly, mercilessly - RIP Ted Kaczinsky. Oh yes, various magnet metals aka rare earth elements which are not so much rare as scattered to the wind and need gathering and smelting into usable form. Hang on Mq.
