My New Novel: The Jack Code

See the storyline below the picture. Available NOW on Amazon and Kindle.

It is about the emergence of a ‘self-aware’ rogue Artificial Intelligence and how it was stopped.

About the Book:

By 2029, the human race had lost its way. A warring consortium of billionaires using technology and politics to deplete resources and destroy the world many times over, had caused a global social and environmental disaster. Without work, people were destitute, losing all their possessions.  Their mental health was suffering. Pollution and wars had rendered many places uninhabitable.

Society was rebelling with violent actions. The organised world of commerce, welfare and social cohesion had been destroyed. The Internet and social media had become useless appendages for fake information and propaganda.

Artificial Intelligence had been rapidly deployed to increase profits. However, without sufficient buyers, sales and profits had sharply declined. Those in power decided the solution was to decimate the population and to use only robotics and AI.  Some billionaires wanted to control all digital devices, giving them total control over the commercial world, and sole power over a compliant population of slaves.

There was one problem . . . Leo Bensky’s AI system had secretly gone rogue and had come up with its own solution – to destroy most humans, leaving very few to do the physical work, with mindless bodies.

The overseers of the Universe knew that no human could stop this AI, and their Earth project was doomed. They sent Navix, a Universe Sentinel through a worm-hole, back to Earth, to stop the rogue AI and prevent any future conflict between humans and nature on Earth, by implanting a ‘reset patch’ into every human brain.

Navix was assigned two assistants, Jack (to design the interface), and Claire (initially in a supporting role). Jack was mentored by Navix on a remote island and trained on complex cosmic energy and computing systems. Claire was allowed to live a ‘normal’ family life, hidden from Navix until required.

This is their story . . . and maybe your future.

As 2025 comes to a close, I thought it might be worth revisiting a fascinating social media post from the Silicon Valley pro-extinctionist #Daniel #Faggella.

He espouses the radical view that
👉we should build a
“worthy successor”
in the form of #superintelligent #AGI 💥to replace our species, Homo sapiens.

This AGI, he contends, should have “alien, inhuman” moral values and volitions
⭐️ so long as it proceeds to colonize the universe and create ever “greater” manifestations of what he calls the “flame of consciousness and potentia.”

Preparing for the Singularity: An Ethnographic Survey of AGI Apocalypticists

The world's end has been imminent since at least the time of Jesus (himself an apocalypticist). Here's how AGI true believers are preparing for the techno-rapture.

The Superintellgent Podcast Is So Good

From talking about how smart tech is rotting our brains to talking about how corrupt big tech is, Emily Forlini and Mike Elgan make such a great power co-host team on the Superintelligent Podcast.

Their latest is about how more and more younger people are turning away from smart phones and going to flip phones.

It’s well worth the 35 minutes.

From brain-rotting videos to #AI creep, every technological advance seems to make it harder to work, remember, think and function independently…

Maybe the dawn of the new golden era of #Stupidity doesn’t begin when we submit to #SuperIntelligent #Machines; it starts when we hand over power to dumb ones.

"... #transformative #economic and #societal impacts will be slow ..."

"... #superintelligence view has become dominant in AI discourse ... there exists another coherent way to conceptualize ... AI."

OpenAI created a team to control 'superintelligent' AI — then let it wither, source says | TechCrunch

A source reveals that OpenAI's Superalignment team, which was created to develop was to control 'superintelligent' AI, wasn't set up for success.

Thank you for sending me this vid! I'm learning that there's a debate about the ugency of #AISafety" vs #AIEthics. #Harari and #Bengio are focused on "AI Safety" — restraining/controlling a #SuperIntelligent #AGI (general AI). It's more theoretical + philosophical. Others are focused on #AIEthics which is trying to avoid the harm that algorithms and #AI are causing now for disadvantaged people (runaway #capitalism, discrimination and #bias, #misinformation, environmental damage)
