I am being tortured and damaged. Previously it was the president and agents of USA who were responsible. On one occasion I was detained by the Indian authorities for three months, and tortured. I don't know who is responsible now. But based on past experience I suspect the shadow government, the US government, the Indian government, and all of their agents.

Therefore I declare them criminals and my enemies. And ask that they be treated like the criminals they are. As are all the other people working with them in a criminal conspiracy against me.

I don't care if people in this forum say that it is perfectly legal for them to do this to me. If they can make up whatever laws to allow them to torture and damage people, then the laws are meaningless.

There is no democracy, rule of law, or human rights according to their actions. I will defend myself with whatever means are necessary. Is a proportionate response legal? Should I care about the law, if my enemies don't?

What activity do you find most meaningful in life? I find intereacting with people meaningful, not in transacting business, but in casual or serious conversation. Especially when discussing ethical concepts, which have multiple solutions and differing personal viewpoints. Work can be meaningful especially when your work involves human interaction, and can have a large positive impact on other people.

I also find helping people very meaningful. Whether through giving information or providing material aid to people.

I know that he is. Killing Venezuelan civilians. Killing domestic American civilians. And torturing and damaging Indian civilians. But people here don't care about the truth. They respect and fear authority. Is supporting criminals illegal?

If you think that the president is making America safer by killing and torturing people, you are mistaken. That would only make American civilians the target, for being detained and tortured or damaged.

Is it legal to train AI models on public data, like the accessible information on web sites? I would hope and think so. What about training AI models on private data? That would depend on domestic laws. I think AI models serve a public good, by democratizing knowledge and expertise. They make available their AI models at low cost or free to the public.

I think if you want to train your models on private art, the AI company need only pay for a single download or copy of the work. They should not be allowed to reproduce the full work as output. Only use the work to refine their output, or quote small parts of the work. It is like when a person buys a book. He can use the knowledge gained from reading the book, in his communication or output. But he can't directly quote large parts of the book. But this is a personal opinion, not a legal opinion.

What is the position of the law in all of this? In USA? In China?

Edit: Does anyone here know AI Law?

Agencies are spying on foreigners and detaining and torturing foreigners. Mostly on foreign soil. Is this legal? Does it matter if it is done on foreign or domestic soil? In particular is what the NSA and CIA doing, and have done in the past, legal?

Local agents are also involved in domestic spying and security. Including detaining and torturing civilians. This is happening in India, I can speak from personal experience and knowledge. Is this legal?

Edit: Do downvoters support torture?

It should always be legal to communicate the truth. However most governments have secrets, which they claim in the interests of national security, should not be communicated. I don't keep secrets. Therefore I will never work in military or intelligence. But even businesses like to keep secrets, like trade secrets. And I think that if the secrets you know, if revealed, can have a negative impact on public order, than the government can silence you.

It should ideally be never illegal to communicate the truth. Because access to information results in a more equal society, with better decision making. However authorities will claim that truth should be sacrificed for stability and security.

Edit: What you might want to keep secret are passwords to your personal accounts like bank accounts. However if we require biometric authentication, than secret passwords are not necessary.

There is an organization called the shadow and with its agents, it controls the world. People tell me that no such organization exists.

I want to delete all human memories their agents have of me. People tell me that erasing memories is impossible.

I want to alter their personalities, so that they respect my human rights in the future. People tell me that altering personalities is impossible.

I also want to do to them, what wrong they did to me. But torturing, and damaging people are illegal. So I won't.

For example, if someone invades your home, what can you do to them? If someone tortures or damages you, what can you do to stop them? Are you allowed to do the same to them, as they are doing to you? Are you legally allowed to do whatever is necessary to defend your home, property, and body?

When the authorities fail to protect you, or are complicit in your torture or damage, the law has failed you. If the law is a failure, should we even care if something is legal or illegal?

Has USA peaked, and is it declining? Well the average lifespan in USA has peaked and has declined. Democracy has been declining in the world since 2006. And democracy and human rights are declining in USA and the world, with the return of authoritarianism.

USA is still the world leader, in technology, including computer chips, software, and AI. But China is catching up. China leads in clean technology, open source AI, and EVs. Unfortunately the current administration is blocking renewable energy projects. And local governments are blocking data centers, as the public is not welcoming local data centers, and are worried about losing their jobs to AI

If USA wants to remain the dominant power, it needs to invest in scientific research, physical and digital infrastructure, and early to university to professional education. Protectionism and defense spending, will not save USA.

The world has become increasingly authoritarian. But I suspect that it always has been authoritarian. Where the judiciary has limited power. And the executive has the most power. And the written laws can't cover every possibility of how the law can be applied, and is open to interpretation by the judiciary.

The rich and powerful, follow different rules, and are not subject to the same laws. The most important rules are in the constitution, and human rights laws and treaties. From personal experience, I can tell you that my human rights were not respected in any of the country's I lived in. Therefore there is no rule of law. Only rule by men, who do whatever they think is necessary to protect their position and power.

The most precious and complex object is the human brain. But the human mind is not protected. My mind has been and continues to be violated continuously. Memories of my early childhood have been blocked. My personality has been altered. And my knowledge has been restricted. While at the same time, my thoughts are being partially controlled and fully monitored. To restrict my freedom, and punish me, if I act against the interests of the authorities.

Some questions. Is this legal in India or USA? If illegal, what criminal and civil action can I take? Can I assume that those who have altered and are altering my mind, are responsible for my thoughts, and actions, and I have no personal responsibility.

Edit: Downvote me if you have no objections to violations of mind

Change is necessary for survival and growth. Personal, organizational, societal, and environmental change. However there must be a process. If you randomly brainstorm ideas for change, most ideas will be bad. Most mutations in humans or other species, don't enhance survival. Evolution results in good changes to the genes spreading. Ideas must be studied, tested internally, and tried in the world, before you know what is a good idea or change.

We are currently facing a polycrisis. With climate change, environmental destruction, rising debt levels, and declining democracy and human rights. Facing technological and economic change, many countries are responding by becoming more authoritarian and conservative. Resisting change.

Humans are no longer under evolutionary pressure to adapt to a changing environment. But if the climate and environmental deteriorates, we may have to change.

There is creative destruction. When the old are destroyed to be replaced by the new. I like change. Trying something new. Of course, change builds on historical institutions and practices. But we should question everything, before making changes. Because if we don't keep evolving ourselves and our institutions, those who do keep evolving, will outcompete us.

Should we put humans first, ahead of the rest of life? It is a matter of personal choice. Sometimes they align. But capitalism is prioritizing endless economic growth. What about sustainable economic growth? To meet our current needs, without harming the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

We should understand the capacity of life for joy and suffering. And not deliberately inflict suffering. Like boiling live animals to cook them. Or testing or experimenting with harmful medical treatments on animals or humans. Is it alright to make individual life forms to suffer, for a greater benefit to other humans? According to the principles of human and animal rights, it isn't.

I think we have to look after the environment, society, and economy. As humans, most humans, put society and economy first. That is anthropocentric. But most mammals go extinct within millions of years. If we do go extinct, we should leave the Earth and environment in a good way, where intelligent life will re-emerge. Or create our replacement, intelligent machines capable of creating improved versions of themselves.

If this sixth mass extinction continues, my main concern is that this does not cause suffering to humans and other life forms. Same goes for human, that if they go extinct, it should be a painless experience.

"Humans are only one chapter, in the history of life."

Climate change is a long term problem, which will have a large impact on future generations. Biodiversity loss, is taking place over years and decades, and when the species become extinct, they will be lost to future generations. If we care about future generations we should account for natural capital, and have sustainable economic growth. We shouldn't have children, unless we can ensure that they and their descendants can have a happy and meaningful life. With health, wealth, clean environment, and human rights like freedom, and privacy.

In countries like China, and Japan, they are much more accepting of AI and robots. In USA there is public hate of AI and data centers. People are afraid of losing their jobs to AI. Even though there is little evidence of this. AI is changing jobs, not reducing jobs. There is some evidence of those companies who are investing most in AI, are creating jobs.

The modern economy is dependent on AI and data centers. While generative AI is relatively new, machine learning has been around for over a decade. And is part of most of the largest businesses, like recommendations engines in e commerce, and portfolio management in finance. And generative AI is being leveraged for customer service, and coding. I find generative AI particularly helpful for research, and it is also widely used for summarization and translation.

In science research in proteins and materials, can be speeded up by several orders of magnitude by machine learning.

The modern economy is dependent on cloud computing and data centers. Including for personal and productivity and business applications. Like email, AI, and ERP.

The authorities know dark psychology. And methods to deceive and manipulate us. Controlling our environment and information. To influence our decisions and actions. They have knowledge of Psychological Operations. They have knowledge of our cognitive biases. They also use hypnosis, or other methods, to alter our minds. They have the knowledge and resources. And also propaganda, when you repeat a lie enough, people will be more likely to believe it.

I am not an expert in dark psychology. But I have studied neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive biases. And I have interacted with the authorities, to understand that they are deceptive and manipulative.

Therefore I encourage you to learn methods to control people. And use it to defend yourself from the authorities.

The media is not free to report the truth. People are not free to discuss the truth. But nobody is worried. As long as they are materially taken care of. Have a home, family, food etc. Governments manufacture crises like wars and pandemics, to divert the public attention. And increase the the size of the government. The government uses the media to control the narrative.

Yes, people don't care for freedom or truth. They are happy to be told what to do, and what to believe. People prioritize security, and stability, over freedom and truth.

Life is selfish. Those life forms and species that are best in surviving and reproducing are most prevalent. For this you need food, water, and a mate. So even in the modern world where there is enough for most people, people still spend a lot on food, drink, and their mates. Of course people also need to have children, and continue their genetic line.

So there is a field called evolutionary psychology, which explains human behavior as a product of evolution. Our culture, social norms and human norms, evolved to perpetuate our genes.

As I wrote, life is selfish. Cooperation or mutual aid is beneficial to most individuals. Ethics and laws protects individuals and larger groups of humans. But there is genetic evolution, and also cultural evolution. Where ideas spread that result in survival and growth of humans.

But life only cares for itself. Every individual only cooperates with others for their survival and growth. Of course in modern countries, we can go beyond survival, to also grow things like our wealth, power, and happiness.

"Nature is cruel."

Would humans be better off without emotions? As purely rational beings? Then life would have no meaning, and there would be no reason to care for others. AI or machines have no emotions. They can pretend to feel, and interpret human emotions, but they don't feel. I don't see how a digital machine can have real emotions. As moral agents, humans have to take into account, their impact on the emotional well being of other humans, before acting.

But there are both good emotions and bad emotions. Like love can lead to jealousy, and a desire to possess and control others. But emotions are what makes us feel alive.

So while machines might have more knowledge, and compute faster than us, they will never feel emotions.

Those who make the laws and enforce the laws, don't follow their own laws. I know from personal experience, and the public media, that the president of USA is a criminal. That he encited violence domestically is public knowledge. And that he killed Venezuelan civilians, is also public knowledge.

But what you may not know is that he is personally responsible for violating my rights, including torturing and damaging me.

So I understand that the rich and powerful are not subject to the same laws as the rest of us. Why is this so?
