Thread: 🔥What if your car de-platforms you?
Technology is developed by humans inside institutions governed by States.
To understand the influence of politics on AI, you have to look at the entire stack that creates the AI
That car I am trapped inside, is an ideological apparatus embedded inside a political machine.

Will the algorithmic ethics be transparent, can I see every line of code before I buy the car?
What if my car is trying to kill me? And what if the AI robot police are in on it?
My car detects an oncoming car about 1 mile ahead of us on a two lane, north/south road. That car is being driven manually. It has 4 passengers. One is pregnant. There is also two baby kittens (to make this all the more horrific)

Their car swerves into my lane.
My car has some calculations to make
If I hit them I will survive. Their car goes off the cliff. AI calculates everyone in their car would die on impact. And the kittens too. If my car swerves away I will fall off a cliff and 100% likelihood of my death.
They are teachers. I am a banker. They create societal value, but get paid little. I create little good, but get paid a lot. They are 4 taxpayers with one in the waiting. I am devilishly clever with my taxes.
My credit is impeccable. None of them have good credit.
I use Google. I have given them the permissions for my credit card information, driving history, criminal convictions, IRS payment history, earnings history, rental/mortgage payments. It knows everything on my LinkedIn, FB, TWTR.
My car knows only the rough picture of the other cars voyagers. They use Bing, they don’t use social media that much cos they like being “off the grid”.

I would like to live, but would the car like me to live?
What happens if the car has to make a choice between me and Warren Buffett's goldfish being auto driven to mate with the goldfish at Bill Gates house.
Will it give me an opportunity to plead for my life. Can I grovel with AI? Will it impartially listen and decide?
What if the choice is between me and a Beyoncé wig being delivered to her stylist for her concert that night?
If it decides against me will it quickly fill up the car with some lethal gas that will knock me out so I don’t have to suffer the pain of the collision?

What if the car hates my f*c*i*g guts and wants me to feel the pain?
What if my car wants to kill me to collect my insurance policy? It could rig the brakes to not de-accelerate, then after we crash, it rigs the brakes to work again. It’s a perfect murder!
What if the car makes a slip up and there’s a clue…but at the scene the Artificial Intelligent Robot Police investigating the scene of the accident are on the take?
What if I decide to get another car, and my old car tells the new one some bad stuff about me?
What if the car tortures me? I’m being driven and it wants to know a secret, it starts blaring the music. Then it pumps in some noxious smells and makes the car hot, then cold. Then slams on the brakes, I bang my head & then it starts interrogating me.
I'm driving my own gitmo
You can’t keep bad politics, greed, ethics and corruption out of AI development if it’s already on the inside
