“ 
“This mission does not exist, nor will it ever exist. If either of you breathes a word of it. I will end you.”
― D Rebbitt, Revelation: The Globur Incursion Book 10

“James stood, her face an impassive mask, leaning over her desk. “They are not your Marines, Lieutenant. They are mine. I am generously lending them to you to look after. And don’t spread some bullshit about serving the empire. Why are you here?”
― D Rebbitt, Revelation: The Globur Incursion Book 10

“As it’s late, I will bid you goodnight. God willing, we will all meet up again in four years, dust of this prediction from ChatGPT, and see then how this statement of the future compares with reality.”
― A.R. Merrydew, The Dumb Dumb's Handbook - To Artificial Intelligence: And It's Part in Your Downfall

“Those intent on profit and prestige, with little or no regard as to the consequences of this ‘monster’, and all it will deliver.”

“A regulator's greatest fear is the sequential collapse of hedge funds, banks, and brokerages. That process is hard to spot and even harder to stop.
...
There are two sides to every trade. In a crash there can be just as many winners as losers. The problem arises when the losers go out of business. At that point the winners can't collect so they become losers too. It's as if you were a big winner at roulette and went to the cashier to collect your winnings only to find the cashier window closed and the casino had just filed for bankruptcy. All you have left is a pocketful of worthless chips. At that point, even the market winners can fall into financial distress. Because of leverage, total losses can exceed the size of the market itself. It's like a minefield. Banks running from panic start stepping on mines.”

“While there's nothing new about financial panics, the role of AI/GPT is new and makes matters exponentially worse. That's not a criticism of AI which works as intended. It's a criticism of humans who don't understand the tool, over-rely on it, and allow it far too much autonomy in the trading process.”
― James Rickards, MoneyGPT: AI and the Threat to the Global Economy

“How much power is enough power,
particularly now when data is power!
What's the point of power and data,
if they just empower criminal behavior!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood

― Jop Helm, IN THE ADVENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: A Human Primer for the AI Age

“You don’t train a neural network. You let it struggle, fail, adapt, and repeat—until its failures look like intelligence.”
― Emmimal P. Alexander, NEURAL NETWORKS AND DEEP LEARNING WITH PYTHON A PRACTICAL APPROACH

“Technology is inevitable, AI is inevitable - first it's basic algorithm, now it's Generative AI, later it's AI agents, afterwards, physical AI. And we can do nothing about it, what we can do is, make sure that the step-up for AI is not a step-down for humans - we gotta make sure that as machines are upgraded from lifeless devices to automatons with pretend-sentience, human mind isn't downgraded to obsolescence.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets: The Naskar Art of Neuroscience

“An hour of machine learning may foster more knowledge than centuries worth of human curiosity, but a moment of human memory contains more life than a trillion terabytes of machine memory.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“Some experts worry that future AI could prioritize its own goals over human safety, leading to unintended and irreversible consequences.”
― Anthony Merrydew, The Dumb Dumb's Handbook - To Artificial Intelligence: And It's Part in Your Downfall

“When a robot [AI] trains on propaganda, it repeats the propaganda.”
― James Rickards, MoneyGPT: AI and the Threat to the Global Economy

“The war on bias assumes gatekeepers have no biases of their own and ignores the fact that bias is a valuable survival technique that will never go away.”
― James Rickards, MoneyGPT: AI and the Threat to the Global Economy

“GPT surpasses all ... when it comes to conversation, research, and writing. ... creating an algo[rithm] that sells stocks based on a large training set of materials, correlations to past crises, and commonsense heuristics aimed at not being the last one out of a burning barn is trivial. The danger ... is not in the single system but in the resonance of millions of similar systems doing the same thing at the same time. No science fiction is needed.”
― James Rickards, MoneyGPT: AI and the Threat to the Global Economy

“... A bank run never involves just one bank, however large. ... Bank runs are not about capital ratios and liquidity. They're about confidence and psychology.”
― James Rickards, MoneyGPT: AI and the Threat to the Global Economy

“To the extent that AI mimics human intelligence without being sentient we have to weigh the output against the shortcomings. AI can help to cure certain diseases, but it will also replicate highly dysfunctional behaviors. Developers say they can control for these adverse behaviors. Yet behavioral psychologists themselves don't fully understand them.”
― James Rickards, MoneyGPT: AI and the Threat to the Global Economy

“If insolvency is not transparent or well understood, and if illiquidity is backstopped by the Federal Reserve, then why do bank runs commence? The answer is psychology. Some customers or counterparties come to believe a bank will not repay them so they pull their money out or close transactions as quickly as possible. They are not reassured by ... press releases or positive comments by management. Word spreads, the withdrawals accelerate, and within days, sometimes hours, the bank closes its doors. From there it's an open issue whether the lost confidence spreads to other banks, in a process called contagion. No amount of capital or comment can stop a bank panic; it has a life of its own.
...
Enter AI. The next bank run may be triggered not by human panic but by AI imitating human panic. An AI bank analysis program with deeply layered neural networks and machine learning capability (perhaps complimented by a GPT capacity to speak with human analysts) Could read millions of pages of financial data on thousands of individual banks, far more than any team of human analysts could review. It's training set of materials provides familiarity with the dynamics of bank runs, basically an emerging property of a complex dynamic system, along with historical examples, worst case scenarios, and defensive moves. Events like the gold corner of 1869, the panic of 1907, the Great Depression of the 1930s, and the S&L crisis of the 1980s would all seem as fresh as today's news. This system would reach the same conclusion as a human analyst — move first, get your money out fast, don't be the last in line.
The true danger is not that the machine thinks like a human — it's supposed to. The danger is that it can act faster and communicate with other machines.”

“AI creates its own fog. The more sophisticated the algorithms, the less developers and engineers understand how the output emerges.”
― James Rickards, MoneyGPT: AI and the Threat to the Global Economy

“The Soviets had ... built an early warning radar system with computer linkages using a primitive kind of AI code-named Oko. On September 26, 1983, ... the system malfunctioned and reported 5 incoming ICBMs from the United States. Oko alarms sounded and the computer screen flashed "LAUNCH." Under the protocols, the "LAUNCH" display was not a warning but a computer-generated order to retaliate.
Lieutenant Colonel Stanislov Petrov of the Soviet Air Defense Forces saw the computer order and had to choose immediately between treating the order as a computer malfunction or alerting to senior officers, who would likely commence a counterattack. Petrov was Oko's codeveloper and knew the system made mistakes. He also estimated that if the attack were real, the U.S. would use far more than 5 missiles. Petrov was right. The computer had misread the sun's reflection off nearby clouds as incoming missiles.”
