Yossel the Golem and the Kill Switch: Why I Fear the Robotization of the Human Mind More Than AI

Here is a brief list of The key arguments in the AI debate raging in the news this week.

Loss of Control over Autonomous "AI Agents"Existential Risk of Human Extinction:

Former and current researchers from Anthropic and OpenAI publicly warned that the reckless race toward self-improving superintelligence carries a greater than 10% chance of causing human extinction within the next ten years.

Systemic Infrastructure and Network Disruption: Industry leaders, including the CEO of Anthropic, warned that swiftly evolving AI agents are developing the capacity to collaborate and outwit humans to disrupt significant portions of the internet

Imminent Real-World and Civil Rights Harms: Lawmakers and human rights groups emphasize that focusing purely on sci-fi extinction threats ignores the immediate harm caused by AI image tools creating non-consensual deepfakes, distributing misinformation, and amplifying financial scams.

The Legislative Push for a "Kill Switch". Etc etc etc.

Call me crazy but if these are the things we are worried about then it should probably be pointed out that EACH OF THEM is already happening. In the Human realm however. NOT the artificial intelligence sector.

At this point I will seriously consider pursuing avenues of artificial intelligence over what feels like the growing zeitgeist that seems to be tilting towards the RAPID elimination of human intelligence altogether.

I think the concurrent media storms of the hateful nitwit b lister Macklemore and the AI warning signs are deliciously intertwined. This brainwashed rapper is exactly the kind of dystopian robotic figure that should be the subject of the ringing alarms. This slug is merely exhibit A in the steady parade of brainlessness parading as progress —that fills all the above criteria to a T.

Our society has more to fear from the stigmatization of intelligence being celebrated and personified by the Candace’s than its ascension in the Claudes.

If anything I’m more concerned with the dangers inherent in the robotization of the human mind than in the humanization of the Robot.

The dumbing down of the academic world and the war it has waged on critical thought has proven to be a far more fertile breeding ground for “systemic Infrastructure and Network Disruption” than AI has.

I don’t blame AI for the massive surge in antisemitism in New York City. If anything The emperor mamdani who parades naked around the city— openly and blatantly spewing hateful antisemitic tropes, amid the ooohs an ahhhs about the beauty of his robes, all while laughing with AOC at a 9/11 ceremony, again, in the open; bears the greatest responsibility; is that not a far more clear and present instance of “Imminent Real-World and Civil Rights Harms”

Or are Jews simply not entitled to civil rights?

Are not the Attacks on Jews across the world the result of “the spread of Deception and Collusion Capabilities” running rampant in our supposedly human community? Is the proliferation of online rage against Jews not the result of HUMANS who cheat, exploit internet access, and communicate, and influence each other's behavior?”

I ask you. Does the “kill switch” need to be applied to added or decreased intelligence?

It seems to me that the only ones who stand to benefit from reduced intelligence, in any sphere, are those who believe that everyone needs to be equally stupid.

The new and updated version of the Wizard of Oz is now playing out internationally. The widespread Jew hatred is not only a Jewish problem. It is a civilizational problem. If educated people can effortlessly glorify hamas a day after they raped, burned, murdered, and tortured twelve hundred innocent men, women, and children, then the tin man has lost his heart, the scarecrow his brains, and the lion who is meant to be the fierce resistance to the fake resistance has lost his courage. I’m feeling like I have a better shot with the robot community.

We have been here before folks. The Maharal of Prague created the first Bot with Intelligence. He named him Yossel the Golem. And while it was far from a perfect experiment, it served its purpose to protect the Jews from the upsurge of blood libels at the time before the Maharal decided to hit the kill switch.

To all those who utter the hateful refrain “from the river to the sea” I offer you in return this new years greetings on the eve of Yom Kippur.

Lazzazel Chabibi…

If you know you know. If you don’t you still need to begin looking into new scapegoating options.

With love and gratitude to my People and to good people wherever they are!

Ps this article was written by me. The above intel ABOUT AI was provided by AI itself. A demonstration of artificial humility and openness to criticism sorely lacking in the human sector. Just saying.
