The Hive Mind: the future of the Internet

In 2019 there were 57 million Americans who owned Smart Speakers like Alexa, Sonos or Siri (Homepod), up from 45.7m in a year. Voice assistant use on smartphones is growing apace:

We are now beginning to see the shape of the future Network. It will be a hive mind with the principal objective being the transfer of money from the bottom layer (biological intelligences such as you and me) to the top layer (the super rich, giant corporations and National Socialist states).

The intelligence of the hive comes from the users and bots in each layer as well as from the top.

The biological layer has varied needs which is why it serves as the source of transactions. This creates a problem for controlling the hive so bots will be introduced yet further to nudge and steer users towards appropriate consumption. The input from the biological user layer is largely to alert higher layers to consumption trends - even political views are helpful in this respect so long as they do not threaten the hive.

Artificial Intelligence (AIs) will progressively occupy the Bot Layer, befriending and helping users in their "lifestyle choices". Eventually the network below the corporate layer will be populated by AIs and biological intelligences with many routine tasks such as shopping and performing physical and mental health checks being delegated to user's "friend" bots. Eventually it will be possible to spot and remove any Bio-Node that threatens the hive. AIs will be network nodes long before they are placed in robots.

The term "Bio-Node" is appropriate for users on the network because ordering goods, rating transactions and nodes, attending to smartphone apps and producing literary works for consumption by other users - whether text messages, images or blogs is not life as we should know it.

The most curious aspect of this monster is that it was enabled by our own representatives in government. There was and is no need for it. See A Better Future for the Internet.

We all know this is happening. The purpose of the Hive is to increase it's transaction rates and size, adapting humanity to be like biological AIs. I am now leaving this computer, going downstairs, kissing my wife, and taking my dog for a walk in the sparkling spring air.

The Falklands have always been Argentine - Las Malvinas son Argentinas

"The Falklands have always been Argentine" is taught to every Argentine child as a matter of faith. What was Argentina during the time when it "always" possessed Las Malvinas? In this article I will trace the history of Argentina in the context of its physical and political relationship with "Las Malvinas", the Falkland Islands. The Argentine claim to the Falkland Islands dates from a brief episode in 1831-32 so it is like Canada claiming the USA despite two centuries of separate development. This might sound like ancient history but Argentina has gone to war for this ancient claim so the following article is well worth reading. For a summary of the legal case see: Las Malvinas: The Legal Case Argentina traces its origins to Spanish South America when it was part of the Viceroyalty of the Rio del Plata. The Falklands lay off the Viceroyalty of Peru, controlled by the Captain General of Chile. In 1810 the Falklands were far from the geographical b...

The Roots of New Labour

This article was written in 2009 but is still useful to understand the motivation behind New Labour - from the global financial crisis through the over-regulated, surveillance society to the break up of the UK into nationalities. The past lives of Labour Ministers have long been sanitised and many biographies that include their shady communist and Marxist pasts are inaccessible or removed from the net. The truth about these guys is similar to discovering that leading Tories were members of the Nazi Party. If you are a British voter and do not think that this is important then I despair for British politics. Had these people taken jobs in industry their past might be forgotten and forgiven but they continued in left wing politics and even today boast of being "Stalinist" or International Socialist (or in Blair's case, Trotskyist ). Peter Mandelson (first Secretary of State and Labour Supremo): "Mr Mandelson was born into a Labour family - his grandfather wa...

Do Muslim women want to wear the Burka (Burqua)?

Do all islamic women want to wear burka? Can a woman's freedom to wear what she wants oppress other women? Are western feminists aiding a cult that is dedicated to the destruction of feminism? I hope to answer these questions in this article. I would much appreciate any comments you might have if you disagree with the article, especially if you have a feminist viewpoint. Here is a description of the problems of wearing burka by a woman of Asian origin: "Of course, many veiled Muslim women argue that, far from being forced to wear burkas by ruthless husbands, they do so out of choice. And I have to take them at their word. But it is also very apparent that many women are forced behind the veil. A number of them have turned up at my door seeking refuge from their fathers, mothers, brothers and in-laws - men brain-washed by religious leaders who use physical and mental abuse to compel the girls to cover up. It started with the headscarf, then went to th...
