2025 Despair Meme: Rogue AI Bots

The old despair default, at least among young people, had been to envision an America without the safety net of Social Security. Figuring that they would have to work forever, they were exhausted before they really got started on careers. That's what they told me during Tarot sessions. 

Now, and it's across-all-generations, is the firm belief that an AI bot will go rogue. Yes, the end of the world.  In The Atlantic, Matteo Wong reports that there are those not bothering to set up a retirement fund because they're convinced they won't be around to use the yield.

The pessimism comes from the reality that Generative AI is becoming smarter than humans. And already it has been up to no-good. A few months ago the headline in Fortune screamed:

"Leading AI models show up to 96% blackmail rate when their goals or existence is threatened, Anthropic study says"

In anti-intellectual America there has always been a suspicion about folks who presented themselves as smarter than the rest of us. That's depicted in the Apple TV series "Smoke." 

(Spoiler Alert) Arson Investigator Dave Gudsen assumes he's smarter than everyone. Smug, he goes about setting the fires he'll then investigate. Eventually those who are probably not as smart do routine police work and nail him. Before that, though, the blazes he caused have taken too many lives.

So, here we are. There is not only rising distrust of Gen AI. It's accelerating the prepper movement. The irony is this: That smarter-than-us bot will likely be comprehensive in destruction. Stockpiling food and shelter-repair materials? There will probably be no need for all that.

Meanwhile, there are clients for tarot readings who continue to build a future. A common focus is on purchasing rental property as a retirement source of income. 

What those with hope are missing out on is the extreme comfort of feeling very bad. It's safe in there. You are liberated from normal human angst about the future.

The Elite Psychics - Cassanda Vanzant Provides Solution for Getting Clarity, Finally

Image
  Ever since The New York Times saluted the Tarot in April 2021as a tool for self-awareness and introspection, there has been massive interest in psychic readings. More recently the media designated psychics as the new therapists. However, that left those seeking guidance in a pickle. The issue is: How to select a psychic who is 1) authentic 2) caring and 3) will provide the results you need.  Long-time psychic Cassandra Vanzant observed that confusion. Her Ah-Ha moment was to develop a fresh approach to the "delivery" of the psychic connection. That is The Elite Psychics.  Excited about this breakthrough development in psychic services, I requested an exclusive interview with Vanzant.  *************************************************** THE ELITE PSYCHICS Q: With all the internet psychic sites to choose from, what makes your site, The Elite Psychics, different? A: I’ve worked for quite a few of these psychic online companies. Most prefer quantity over quality. ...

Aging - Holding On To Sense Of A Self

Image
  The Wall Street Journal fingers retirement for the epidemic of a loss of self among the aging.  However, the process can kick in as soon as anyone senses they are no longer young. Gone is their youthful self. Denying aging, they don't invest in creating a new self - and continually bringing up to date that identity. By time there is a shift from a demanding career to part-time, freelance, entrepreneurial or no work there is no emotional, physical and spiritual platform to keep building on. In the Tarot there are myriad cards which salute moving on and breaking free from the past, even though there is so much uncertainty about the present and the future.  My favorite card for that is the Eight of Cups. It is commonly called The Walking Away card. I prefer to refer to it as The Walking Toward card.  Cups symbolize emotion. There is certainly lots of that in leaving the past behind. The mountains stand for the unknowns. The sitting position recommends not rushing the...

We Are All Paul Weiss - And Now We Are Different

Image
 Paul Weiss has been the tipping point.  The Executive Order by the current administration - the third issued - got to us. How vulnerable we all are to power. Forget the grade school lessons about what America is about. Forget how university deans caved during our counterculture protests.  Yes, and forget "rights"  as being sacred. Here's what we now know. The key driven in that EO was that a lawyer who had been a partner at Paul Weiss years ago - Mark Pomerantz - had landed on the US President's enemies list. Of course there were other things about Paul Weiss, such as its mission for diversity, which didn't sit well with MAGA ideology. But that stuff probably was small potatoes. Pomerantz was the trouble spot. How obvious it became: We are all Paul Weiss.  Conversations I have with tarot-card clients, what I read in the media and what's turning up on professional anonymous networks Reddit and Fishbowl scream one message: Everyone can be a target for politica...
