Epstein: Files in the Ointment

[H2O Man]

7. Thanks!

I should have included the television series "The Apprentice." A sad reality is that television ruled the minds of a large portion of the public, much like it plus the internet do today. Reality is purposely blurred. I note that Jim Morrison spoke of this.

Without even going into AI, let's just think of human interactions with machines. In and of themselves, machines are unconscious. But in the constant human contact -- think young people and cell phones -- a strange relationship grows. It would seem odd to think that is limited to human's conscious level, when communicating with or by way of an unconscious machine, wouldn't it? And might that explain, at least in part, why my lawn-mower is more likely to catch on that the felon is a liar than most maga folks?
