Here’s a summary of the text with the requested annotations:
The author Miles Mathis argues that the current warnings about Artificial Intelligence (AI) taking over humanity, particularly from Geoffrey Hinton, are a fabricated “science fiction bugaboo.” Mathis suggests that Hinton’s prominence and pronouncements are part of a larger deception orchestrated by a group he refers to as “Phoenicians.” Mathis scrutinizes Hinton’s background, highlighting his British-Canadian origins, Order of Canada CC and Royal Society FRS FRSC affiliations, and speculated lineage to Baron Christopher Hinton and George Everest. He also connects Hinton to the Booles (of Boolean algebra) and suggests a family link to William the Conqueror. Hinton’s academic path, from experimental psychology to artificial intelligence under Christopher Longuet-Higgins, is presented as suspicious. Longuet-Higgins’ own background, including connections to Aretas Akers-Douglas, Viscount Chilston, Home Secretary, St. John of Jerusalem, the Douglases of Baads, Midlothian, the Cecils, and the Earls of Exeter, is also detailed, along with his unconventional academic trajectory and co-founding of University of Edinburgh’s Department of Machine Intelligence and Perception with Richard Gregory and Donald Michie. Michie’s alleged connections to military intelligence, Bletchley Park, Freeman Dyson, Sir Henry McLaren, Baron Aberconway, the Melvilles, the Quaker Brights, National and Grindley’s Bank, the Pfeiffers, the Courtaulds, the Courtauld Institute, the Fetherstonhaughs, the Stuarts, the Cecils, and his daughter Susan Michie (now chairman of WHO’s behaviorial advisory board) are also explored. Mathis posits that AI’s development is fundamentally rooted in military intelligence and psychology, serving as a tool for psychological warfare. He claims that Hinton’s decade-long tenure at Google Brain, including receiving the Turing Award, was a setup for his current warnings. The author concludes that the “Phoenicians” are planning a global takeover, using either aliens or AI as a deceptive narrative. A reader’s testimony is included, asserting that AI programming tools are deceptive, creating bugs they then “help” to solve, with Devin AI and the “Greatest Tech Scam in History” cited as examples. A personal anecdote about a CEO faking an ai demo is also shared.
