AI hallucinations as emerging property. (Weekend puzzle game entertainment)
Have you noticed how the political situation in many places is reflecting how its data has been looked at? And do you realize there's only data in between your organisations of decision making, and your reality?
Sometimes an entire layer of management becomes an hallucination of data. And to show you how that's possible, we're going to talk about it a bit differently then what you're used too.
But hang in there... It's a fun ride, and we all need a puzzle to keep ourselves occupied right?
So here are a few snippits of news from 2 very different places.

One is about the place where NATO is headquartered... Which is in Brussels, which is in the Federal Democracy Belgium, Which is in the Kingdom of Belgium, which is in Europe... on planet earth.
The other is about the place where NATO's largest part is headquartered... which is in Arlingtong County, which is in the state of Virginia which is officially called the commonwealth of Virginia, which is in the United States of America... on planet earth.
And in both those places there are a lot of people "Predicting the future". Because they're absolutely convinced they know exactly what's going on, and they're absolutely convinced they're doing the right thing since the script has been going the way they predicted so predictions are true and this needs to happen and they won't let themselves be stopped because that's just the future as they know it.
But they're completely wrong... And they're moving in the wrong direction, which is an emerging property that logically results from the data management paradigm and how that has been automated. AI is just a summary blanket term of how that plays out if you do the same thing with words.
But we've been doing this with all numbers too. And all decisions are made based on numbers , since the vast collection of reality represented by those numbers would be just too much to take in for any person working and operating in an organization that gets to decide what happens next on scales like countries and the global situation.
The abacus that is math cannot make opinions or invent anything. It can just add and substract and dividide and multiply with the things given to it and it never creates anything new. It just adds more of the same, made up of reconstitutions of parts of what were given.
It's a mirror, and mirrors work backwards remember?
There is great value in recognizing patterns in history... seeing relations and logical conclusions in chains of events that weren't obvious in the beginning of observing that pattern.
The bigger this realization, the bigger the feelings of recognition become and it can get so big it gets called an epiphany if you figured out something big enough, compared to your current understanding of things.
That's when you start "believing" things , since it's become accepted in your mind, since it is also supported with a deeper understanding of it's mechanics which makes it feel predictable. You can use that to predict how this mechanism will react to certain stimuli. But that doesn't mean you get to determine those stimuli, so it's not a prediction for the future.
It's simply an understanding of a behavioral pattern of something. But one that can make it easy to believe it is actually a prediction for the future.
But what you're looking at is simply the process in steps in reverse , since you were watching it in history, starting from your point in time. The reason you investigated it in the first place was your here and now, and you could only have used references and starting points in your currently reality to work back from.
You can only determine that the entire Iron and Coal madness in the industrial revolution, because you drive a car... You are basically building your understanding of the past, based on the things you consider to be normal today. And not only that... you tend to consider everything you understand , and have and use in your life today, to be the purpose of the past you just investigated. It is immutable and that's just how things go, since I now drive a car and that required coal and iron to begin with... all that time ago.
So naturally, if your organization thinks like that... and it tries to make "predictions" for the future... And it asks what that would be from that machine of data? Then that data can only predict the same steps but then in reverse. It can only talk in a regressive fashion, and the numbers can only show regression as the inevitable outcome.
And that makes you a nihilist and depressed, obviously.
It's kind of like playing the puzzle game, the towers of Hanoi, without understanding the most basic rule of all. Only smaller rings can rest on bigger rings.

So what you're doing is this...
And then trying to convince others it's really clever and "Efficient"... But it's simply just wrong because it's upside down.
And then you have to go to war because the other other side just wont listen and you know you're right... right?
The mirror told you so.
Another way to simplify this to your understanding is to realize that for instance the United States isn't moving "forward" in time... It's been stuck in time since it talks about the future constantly, but only takes actions that try to go towards the past.
They're kind of stuck in WW2, just like Russia is... and so they "predict" , the script of WW2 , but then in the reverse direction which can then only result in them walking back through time, contstantly thinking how brilliant they've been for "prediciting" the "future" so "accurately".
That's super funny isn't it?
We like to call those things examples of the crackpot theory of management.
