Is your air fryer

Spying on you?

LINK
Maybe even your video door bell, smart tv or watch.

Time to go back to the sundial and all year barbecue.

I think we are spied on more than we know. It's like the day I was walking down the street talking toa friend about shoes and when I got home all these ads for shoes popped up on facebook

Kath,things like that seem to happen to me quite often and I do not think it is a coincidence.Big brother.

Did you know that MI5, if they feel the need, can check what you’re writing in your emails; forums such as this; see what items you’re looking up on the Internet and what you’re ordering; and monitor your comments on You Tube? It may, or not be, you personally or your family members, but they can home in on known criminals to see if they’re looking up ways to make bombs, order high powered rifles, and so on.

If Joe Bloggs can hack into the White House computers, or our NHS, and probably other governmental establishments, then MI5, FBI and all the others can do much more. Just ordinary home computers are the most easy to track information from as they’re not as high tech as smart phones etc, and it doesn’t matter how “safe” you think your device is. I only own this desktop computer - no other electronic devices.

How often do ads appear on here when someone talks about a particular item, like shoes, for instance, like Kath mentioned. We suddenly get ads for shoes, but the subject matter isn’t important. It’s proof that we’re being watched. I’ve never been a member of any social media site, especially Facebook, because I know for a fact that the Police, Inland Revenue and so on (in all countries) monitor certain topics of conversation made by their members, and even catch out criminal activity as a result, and subversive material. This is what I was meaning when I posted my AI thread in July.

Like I’ve said before. Say it, forget it - write it, regret it. Take nothing for granted. It’s a very sobering thought.

about twenty years ago we moved house and our old house did't sell so we rented it out to help out with the finances, The renting agency told us, the police were interested in renting it to put equipment in and we had to promise not to enter the premises whilst they were paying the rent, We agreed and, I did enter the house, not to spy but to check the gas installation and water appliances, there was nothing at all in the house but, in the attic was,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I daren't tell but, The Tardis was less equipped than our old attic,,,,

" nothing at all in the house but, in the attic was,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Squatters?

mollie you 're a fount of information lass

I'm not sure what you both mean by your comments, but what I've said is true. I'm not paranoid, nor am I given to flights of fancy, and I never tell lies so, it's up to you.

Artificial Intelligence has been in existence for many years for certain sources, but it's only now being introduced to the masses so people will become accustomed to the inevitable and blindly accept it's just a progression of modern technology.

My son has an app on his phone which can locate my car and last week he phoned to tell me I had not locked it All of the phones in his house including the kids phones can track each other so if say one person is walking the dogs some one else can check on their phone and go meet them

I don't have any "apps" on my phone.
I removed them all. Mainly for the reasons stated above.

I just use it for what it was purposely intended to be used for, a telephone!
My advice is first, and foremost get rid of the location app.

Its just like having a personal tracker planted in your purse / handbag / wallet, etc

Cheshire Cat, you are absolutely spot on, and that's not the only way you can be tracked.

Younger people in their teens and twenties are more susceptible to persuasion, and they’re more easily subjugated into brainwashing, most especially those with a lower than average intellect. For example, people who play video games could well be exposed to subliminal messaging where an image is displayed for a tenth of a second to the subconscious which doesn’t register, but is stored into the brain. This, supposedly, was banned on TV a long time ago, but adverts are no different in that they try to entice potential customers into buying their product by hyping it up and creating a picture in the minds of those who watch them, and it works for many.

Underneath this post is an advert for AI right now during this edit.

Ive clicked on the link, Mollie. And, all I can see is a photo of what looks like an abandoned model railroad track?

Well I didnt like to say. But Cindy will be pleased

Shurrup you.

Cheshire Cat: So sorry about that. I’ve no idea where the railway line came from as I’ve never seen it before, so I don’t know what happened. Try this:

Invention of AI

Mollie can you not sleep like me up in the early hours the last few days. I think my body clock is still out of sync .Waking up at 4-30ish and my brain is telling me its 5-30ish so get up time

Not last night Peter. I couldn't get to sleep so I came down again and had a look on here.

That's when I saw an error had been made in the link I posted, so I re-did it, and re-posted. Couldn't figure out what I'd done wrong at first till the penny dropped.

No need to apologise, Mollie.
Its worked for me, now.

It makes interesting reading, that does.
Thank you for the link. And, making me aware of that.

You are very welcome. If only a couple of people read that and become more aware, then I'll be happy to have posted it.

Things aren't always quite as they seem and, if you take notice, AI is being mentioned in almost every advert that comes on TV now so that people will get accustomed to it, and stay in the subconscious of those who watch them, thereby creating acceptance into the masses, and that is brainwashing on a massive scale.

Cheshirecat

Correct, phones should be only a means of communicating.

Smart phones have ruined the cheaper camera industry and social life in the pubs and restaurants as well as some people making themselves unsafe on the streets by walking around like zombies looking at one all the time.

It was called science fiction when I was young,now it’s everywhere.What’s next?

The future is mind boggling FM

The future used to be Orange. Now it's Solar Power!

That advert is from, relatively speaking, not that long ago. We laughed, but look how true some of the comments have become!

Acceptance, yes, and brainwashing. I wonder how many surgical teams would be happy working under the instructions of a robot. This would also eliminate the skills of the surgeon and, in time, the surgical teams as well, thereby finding those people out of jobs. People aren't thinking about the possible, and probable, consequences in the not too distant future.

Did you read the article in the link I put on in its entirety? Some computers have already invented their own language that no human can read, and they communicate with each other, so who knows what they're saying, or planning.

It's an enigma mollie.

Every electronic device now spies on you from your laptop phone and even your car. I have been scrolling through sites for folding beds and guarantee the adverts will start popping up for them every time I switch the laptop on. My car has a "SOS" button so if I have an accident and am Immobile I can press this button and I can be located some cars do it automatically.A lot of people have "Smart" meters for their Elect Gas Water so readings can be read automatically is this not spying

First Mate:

There’s nothing mysterious about it to me. That article makes it perfectly clear. I don’t pretend to understand all the technical jargon, but I do understand the probabilities of AI having been let loose and the path it’s taking. Anyway, you started this, so I assumed you wanted some feedback. It probably won’t happen for another few years, and my time on earth is now limited, so I won’t see it, but you might, and your young family members certainly will as there’s nothing to stop it. Many have read this, but few have responded, either because they stick their fingers in their ears and say “lah-lah-lah”, or those who just don’t want to see what’s happening.

So, I rest my case for the Prosecution, M’lud!

We know nowt, them up theer giving us a bit of understanding are doing it for them, not to enrich our lives,
Be afraid of it and stay in the shallows where the sharks are not happy,

Alan Turing: Codebreaker, Enigma, and the Birth of AI

The Birth of AI

First Mate:

I know, ta. I’ve read all about Alan Turing, the Enigma Code, encryption, and his part in the creation of AI, but that doesn’t rob me of my thoughts and beliefs. He was clever, but I don’t believe he thought far enough ahead of the possible consequences as it stands today.

I doubt he would ever have believed how far computability would grow, because he couldn’t have forseen what its capabilities would be in the 21st century. How could he? We can’t predict 80 years from now, any more than he could predict 80 years from then. For him, computers were a useful tool for learning, which they are if used properly, but not for the many purposes they’re used for today.

What new science was then, is old hat now, because of the technology that has developed through time, and it will evolve even further as time continues. Even the eminent Stephen Hawking warned that full artificial intelligence could be the end of mankind as we know it.

Jeremiah was a Bullfrog, don't you know?

Yea Joy to the world

LOL! Typical responses from folk who are stuck for words.

First Mate: Like I said before, you started this topic, probably meant to be tongue-in-cheek, and I’m sorry if it backfired on you, but this is one of my pet subjects and I’ve read an awful lot about its inception and what it was designed for in the first place, so you provoked replies which you got. I may appear to be a bit dippy at times, and I am when I choose to be, but I do have my serious side as well and, you and Tonker resorting to cheap shots doesn’t phase me one bit as I’m non-confrontational.

Just one last observation on the subject. This afternoon I was watching something on You Tube and decided to make a comment. So I started to type it, and a box came up with a warning to stay respectful. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen that happen, but somebody/something was watching what I wrote, as I wrote.

Oh, and Tonker, did you return to your “spirit world” thread and read others’ replies? You had an experience which had happened to you, yet you make light of this real world predicament. Nobody made fun of you in that chuck. In fact, quite the opposite. Have a read.

My air fryer just sits there and says nothing. On the other hand, my microwave oven keeps pulling funny faces at me. If it carries on, I'm going to hit it. With a spade!
