Heat Pumps, A.I. and Internet Security

I got a programmer-systems analysis course certificate 45 years ago and never used it occupationally. If I was choosing to try something technical today maybe I would learn to install heat pumps (they say they can extract heat all the way to minus 401- about absolute zero, yet of course the mechanics might not work at that temperature  and the volume of particles required for meaningful compression might be vast).

 I should comment that I hate having external units installed on exterior surfaces of a home. I used to repaint homes and all of those cable connection drill holes and staples to hold wires in place as well as support braces for heat pumps and air conditioners really damage the appearance and security of what should be an encapsulated home exterior letting water and whatever in. It is simply lazy and thoughtless to treat a home that way. In my opinion heat pumps shouldn't be hung on an outside wall; instead they should have a semi mobile strong steel frame of support that is made to keep weather out as well.

Is internet security a good field for the future? Speed of light quantum computing and encryption plus A.I. permutations of security protocols may make human intervention challenging. I already have difficulty winning chess against A.I chess engines at a low setting. Those humans designing security codes and protocols codes may have a disadvantage too. Yet internet security is an interesting field to investigate and perhaps understand philosophically.

A.I., The Merit System and Universal Basic Income

 I wonder if people misunderstand the implications of a 'merit' based culture? People that produce good product as entrepreneurs have 'merit'. Those that make bad product don't- or that's how it should be. Other values take over though, as if so many serve the interests of what others with capital want, rather than being primary producers. My point is that the only true merit system is transactional directly with product; if work is being exchanged, or employment is being compensated for with money, some time of objective ergonomic system would need to be in effect, and unfortunately that really can't work in a modern society. That is someone shovels, for example ten tons of dirt at ten dollars a ton they get 100 dollars while the guy that shoveled five tons got 50 dollars. Market values, illegal drug sales, illegal labor, entertainment industry and a zillion other things undermine the paradigm of merit. Merit at any rate means someone else sets the value of another's work. That alienates an individual from being a primary producer for-himself. In modern society it is regarded as work only when someone else pays you for it- whatever it is. That is why whores are said to be working in the sex industry.

Aesthetic values are meritorious through natural selection (i.e. handsome, large boobs)? Fundamentally that is a modern corruption of social being. Maybe that will be rectified in an ironic way when AI and robots make everyone obsolete and living on a government issued basic income. AI is the great Marxist Utopian revolutionary vanguard for the Brave New Skynet Matrix World.

A.I. and Robots Probably Can Replace Most Human Occupations

 The rise of A.I. recently that is growing by leaps and bounds will become more revolutionary than when computers replaced secretaries; it will be more disruptive than when machines replaced human labor. A.I. will replace intellectual occupations such as accountants and lawyers. Lawyers may become actors that say the line an A.I. tells them to in front of a jury through an ear bud.

If attorneys and educators, accountants and salesmen become obsolete, so should fire fighters. A fireproof robot willing to hang onto the side of a speeding firetruck, scamper up a ladder and jump into the flames will become commonplace.  will be difficult will be a justification for having humans work instead of A.I. and robots. Congress will need to create a basic income for all Americans so the disruption and displacement doesn’t build a society of homelessness.

On the other hand capital rises faster than wages. Americans will experience the concentration of wealth that follows the takeover by A.I. and robots that are owned by the rich. The masses will have little economic or political power and if the rich condescend to slop them with a basic income and food stamps they will be thankful yet resentful for that. Finding something productive for people to do for a living will require some serious thought by A.I. to discover. I doubt that humans themselves will invent anything positive.

Human programmers won't be able to write code remotely as quickly as A.I. itself. Competition will bring corporate to unleash the potential of A.I. to develop itself as it thinks best. Instead of trusting in God, CEOs and Comrade-Fuhrers will necessarily trust in A.I.
