@911conspiracyT (post #17),

Thanks for the post Matt about the Banjo app, preciate that.



Sorry (to Phil, Rob, griff, Ruby, Matt, anybody else who doesn't mind my posts at least
biggrin.gif
) that I have not posted in quite a while, still dealing with chronic pelvic pain, making progress (at least slight) towards curing myself, but long hours sitting in front of a computer does not seem to help. I'm going to start trying to make at least one post a week now, not guaranteeing that but see how it goes of course.


So Matt, you have Banjo app on your phone (smart phone right, iphone or android?), what does the app do that would have any interest for you, or just the general consumer/users out there? Just curious if you have used it for anything useful for you personally.


This video here, Damian Patton, he demonstrates the Banjo app on a smart phone,

Banjo Demo at SXSW 2012








CEO Damien Patton demos the features of Banjo, the social discovery app, for LAPTOP Magazine at SXSW 2012.


The main thing I get from this app usage, hell is still surveillance, even if the average consumer/user is the one doing it: for instance the "friend alert" feature on the app, he states that we're (as in the Banjo technology) watching your friends and even when they are not on Banjo at that time (but I would presume they have to be on their phones then {or at least you know where the hell their phone is at that time
biggrin.gif
}) and can alert the Banjo app user (and set distance radius, even far away cities) where your friends are at that time.


To me the whole thing smacks as a huge surveillance net, technology to track as many people as possible, all the time; people and events of course, in real time 24/7/365.

I would imagine that the Banjo app(s) available for businesses/corporations and gov/military are considerably (understatement
icon_eek.gif
) more detailed and invasive with information it can gather and provide for such "surveillance", I would have to think so anyway.



Gonna come back later for more posts regarding the link between "trans-genderism" and "trans-humanism".

The hive mind is coming. Imagine combining Banjo as seen on Patton's phone above, with Musk's Neurolink (see video), remembering a similar tech touted by Intel in 2009.


Of course only the rich (and an elite unit of agents) will have the Neuralink at first, unless brain surgeons start a charity. However, everyone (except for the domestic terrorists called Luddites, those pesky mofos blowing up cell towers and disrupting the frail 5G infrastructure... and except for those opting out for less radical reasons of privacy [spit on the floor]/health/religion [strict orthodox Jews don't use cell phones on the Sabbath, Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, Amish, etc.]) will wear Google Glasses or a competitor's version, the wearable tech that will finally replace cell phones in a few years. The glasses will allow augmented reality and real-time AI "assistance" with instant "telepathic" communication and visual input from friends around the world. App development for the platform of augmented reality will erase privacy and give police instant facial recognition input (no ID card required, despite the Amazon face ID flaws), in addition to your position in time and space as recorded (with audio) thanks to your smart glasses. Invite people to walk in your shoes, or never mind as the police do.


Have a nice day.

Incidentally, as noted on the Banjo app entry at Wikipedia, "Banjo launched a new feature called Banjo Rewind, which allows people to search past events and go back to specific moments in time." So (when/if the app is ever re-released -- no publicly available version exists today) those with access will be able to go back in time and replay the feed from your glasses, with all the input that came from your interface.


The amount of data requiring storage seems too large, but the value of said data will inevitably pay for the hardware. The Luddites will look for those hard drive storage warehouses in order to destroy them, but resistance is futile.

Can you post some links to some Luddite cases blowing up towers. Interesting topic.

Post #22 (from original thread, from 911conspiracyT)
That's just my imagination picturing the future. Somebody will start the new Luddite movement, if not the trans-humanists themselves. It's just a matter of time. The Hegelian Dialectic suggests an extreme opposite to counter the Borg-style future towards which we are heading. The synthesis of the opposing sides will still satisfy the objective.


In the short run, these attacks on the cell towers (and 5G small cells, utility poles, etc.) will increase security for the infrastructure. People in love with their Internet of Things will call for more surveillance, etc., to keep their 5G running. I imagine the "Luddites" will organize when robots begin to take people's jobs on a large scale... like driving a cab or Uber in the city. (Self-driving cars need 5G small cells every 300 meters or so, often much less, depending on line of sight around buildings and trees... and rain, believe it or not, impedes the signal. Keep the people around for those days, unless weather modification is used to keep the cities dry....)

I should add a link to the 5G Crisis thread.

Post #23 (from original thread, from 911conspiracyT)
An important video on Musk's Neuralink by Truthstream Media:
"Putting a Chip in Your Brain Will Not Make You a Superhero (or a god)"



Interesting to hear the Hegelian Dialectic mentioned here also, but the fear isn't coming from 5G but from AI.

Post #24 (from original thread, from gl69m)
Thanks Matt for the responses, really cool. Yeah, the Neuralink definitely does sound like first steps towards producing a hivemind, Borg (guess you're a trekkie maybe?
biggrin.gif
), or lots of mind controlled slaves at least.

Good videos, going through those now, thanks.


So, I'm guessing you will pass on getting the electrodes and chip in your brain?? haha, yeah me too! I'll go on the fence and say there are no takers from anybody coming here to LRF either (visitors and posters)

Luddites description, from Wikipedia (Google search)


Quote:



Luddite
The Luddites were a radical group of English textile workers and weavers in the 19th century who destroyed weaving machinery as a form of protest. The group was protesting the use of machinery in a "fraudulent and deceitful manner" to get around standard labour practices. Luddites feared that the time spent learning the skills of their craft would go to waste as machines would replace their role in the industry. It is a misconception that the Luddites protested against the machinery itself in an attempt to halt the progress of technology. Over time, however, the term has come to mean one opposed to industrialisation, automation, computerisation, or new technologies in general. The Luddite movement began in Nottingham and culminated in a region-wide rebellion that lasted from 1811 to 1816. Mill owners took to shooting protesters and eventually the movement was suppressed with military force.Wikipedia

History Channel description (https://www.history.com/news/who-were-the-luddites)


Quote:



The original Luddites were British weavers and textile workers who objected to the increased use of mechanized looms and knitting frames. Most were trained artisans who had spent years learning their craft, and they feared that unskilled machine operators were robbing them of their livelihood. When the economic pressures of the Napoleonic Wars made the cheap competition of early textile factories particularly threatening to the artisans, a few desperate weavers began breaking into factories and smashing textile machines. They called themselves “Luddites” after Ned Ludd, a young apprentice who was rumored to have wrecked a textile apparatus in 1779.

I certainly agree quite strongly with the cautionary stance and reaction of a "Luddite", to new technology in particular with the AI/transhuman stuff. I'm not against new technology, as long as we all still keep some basic control over it, how it's used, for who etc, and not the other way around, it or someone else (elite) using new tech to control (or eliminate) all of us.


The Dykes (Truthstream Media) are pretty popular on Youtube, 84+ million views. I have to say Melissa sounds a lot like a female James Corbett. If I wasn't sure, her voice sounds, well, you know, a little dykie, if you know what I mean.


I wonder if they are downplaying the actual threat of AI, becoming smart enough to enslave or wipe all humans out, with their Hagalien dialectic talk. They sound possibly dismissing it as a potential danger. I do agree with what they were saying that some transhumanists want super powers through technology, to become like superheroes.

Post #25 (from original thread, from gl69m)
I let this thread lag too much, need to add some more stuff to it, but I've just been too lazy, even though I've had some holiday days off over christmas and new years. Wanted to put up a year end movie/tv show review featuring movies with ai/transhumanistic themes, but like I said, I'm lazy
biggrin.gif
! Well anyways, I can still do that, I know a little late to get it in before 2019 ended but oh well.

I have watched a considerable number of movies and shows in the last few months, mainly out of sheer boredom and depression (mainly over my injury that I still haven't fixed yet, I guarentee I will eventually though), wanting to just be mindlessly entertained (don't we all??!
biggrin.gif
). I also am hooked on a stupid little game app called "Toy Blast" (I picked the name Toy Blaster on my game avatar), I'm pretty good at this game, and I can get to the top of the Illinois list on occassion; every two weeks there is a "Legends Arena" you make it into after beating the 50 new levels, and then it's just a race to the highest level you can attain in two weeks time. You can spend money on boosters, and apparently this gane rakes it in, as of 2015 it was the 4th highest grossing sort of free download game out there, bringing in over 250 million $. I refuse to spend money on a free game, especially if there is no possible financial reward for placing as high as possible. The highest I've made it to on the world list for a two week little game season is ranked #94th, beat 1468 levels in two weeks. The top ones can get to over 4600 in two weeks, I have to assume they are spending a considerable amount on the boosters to make it that far, this is at times a maniacally frustrating game, one of those free to play and pay to win kind of games.

I really should spend a lot less time on that stupid frustrating game (unfortunately I enjoy it too much when I'm defeating lots of levels easily though) and watching so much frivolous entertainment and focus on more productive things. But entertainment may also show us clues to predictive things being planned by the powers that be, so to speak, if you can pay attention and interpret the details. I half ass jokingly think of it as 'research', haha!


I'm a sci-fi fan anyway, that's what I normally prefer watching, and it seems that these days the dominant theme in so many movies is ai and trans-humanism, sometimes a combination of both mixed together. Not to say these two themes haven't been around, they've really been around longer than most of us have been alive; but there seems to me to be a crescendo being depicted nowadays that is pushing the extremely strong notion of the inevitability and futility of stopping ai (and perhaps transhuman) from dominating and taking over. Terminator movies started out seeming more like fanciful fiction in my view (like the comic book movies), but now it feels like it may be getting "for real", some of the concepts in these movies have technologies that are catching up to the concepts at an ever faster and faster rate it seems to me.

Here are a small list of some of the movies I've seen in last 6 months, these depicting a strong ai theme, "Ex Machina", "Tau", "I Am Mother" and "Kill Command". Kill command also depicts a strong transhumanistic theme, has a female character who has a chip in her brain that allows her to mentally call up data instantly over the internet and view it seemingly in front of her like a screen but in her mind I suppose. I may review some of these movies later. I Am Mother depicts an ai robot practicing trans-humanism to sort of recreate the human race after a so-called extinction event (movie description from IMDb- "In the wake of humanity's extinction, a teenage girl is raised by a robot designed to repopulate the earth."). "A-X-L is another movie, about a robot dog that I saw, kind of a low budget goofy man's best friend kind of campyness, but special effects are moderately okay.

Some of the movies I've seen depicting a strong transhumanistic theme, "Self/less", "Advantageous", "Diveregence"; "Morgan" is a movie that blends both ai and transhuman in one entity, a synthetic/genetically engineered biological human enhanced with nano technology I suppose. "Replicas" is a movie that strongly sort of merges the two as well, starring Kenau Reeves (starred in the Matrix, which I have not seen all of, and I have some misgivings about portions of the plot explanation though, might get into that in a later post) as a neural transfer specialist working for a more or less clandestine bio-tech (military in actuality) company. Certain actions of Reeves' character kinda pissed me off, but the movie brings his character off as I suppose a transhumanistic hero, transcending death for his family through full human cloning.

Anyways, the movie I'm going to review (spoiler alerts ahead, wink wink) a little more in depth for now is one I watched just over the holiday partial break period (I had two holiday days off in the middle of the week both last week and the week before) , is called "The Mandela Effect", here is a brief overview from a short LA Times article about the movie,

https://www.latimes.com/entertainmen...-effect-review


Quote:



In the film, Charlie Hofheimer plays Brendan, a game designer whose young daughter accidentally drowns. Over the objections of his wife, Claire (Aleksa Palladino), and his best friend, Matt (Robin Lord Taylor), Charlie seeks out a disgraced academic (Clarke Peters) who believes that if thousands are adamantly certain about — for example — an incorrect spelling of “the Berenstain Bears,” this may be evidence of alternate realities.

Not sure when exactly it was released, I saw it using the Amazon Fire Stick, using the Kodi app with add ons that can stream the movies somehow, my son told me there is gray area around the legality of that, not getting into that now, I have no idea what's legal and what isn't, hopefully not incriminating myself here. Some of the movies/shows I've seen from the Kodi and some from Netflix and Hulu (which we have legitimate accounts for).

My primary opinion of the movie is that it is a long promo for a version of a "simulation" conspiracy theory. It's telling too that hollywood (I guess it's from hollywood) would make a movie using Nelson Mandela's name and the term and concept coined by him (or coined in honor of him), and then have the main character and family be white of course, big shocker there right? Anyhoo, it does have the token black male character who is a mathematical genius, that the 'liberal' LA Times points out is a "disgraced acedemic", and at the same time they didn't even bother to give the actor's (Clarke Peters) character's name in the movie in the article. I guess they figured that wasn't important enough, nothing racist there right, well according to an alt-righter (writer) I suppose.

Clarke Peters plays Dr. Fuchs by the way, and his character I assume was forcibly made to retire by acedemia for bringing up possible mathematical computer proof of a version of a "simulation" or alternate reality theory. Alternate reality theory to me would be more like a multi-verse or parallel universes theory, and "simulation theory" to me wouldn't necessarily be the same at all, if say that there was really only one "simulation" going on right? At least I would think the two are not really equivalent in concept.

I noticed too the Berenstain/Berenstein Bears reference as the first (I think) in the movie as an example of either a false memory or a Mandela Effect (via 1984 style historic revision I assume). I remember that as a spoof conspiracy theory a few years ago, but my Mandela effect for that one is that for some reason I always thought it was spelled either Bherenstain or Bearenstain, go figure. The Berenstein conspiracy angle is part of the "Jews Control" everything 'conspiracy' too. The other really popular one in this movie the main character presented is the line from Darth Vader to Luke Skywalker in "The Empire Strikes Back". "Luke, I am your Father" (the line was actually "No, I am your father"
biggrin.gif
, honestly I couldn't remember which one seemed to be correct in my memory of seeing that movie such a long time ago).

Curious George, the racist colonialist brown monkey "children's book" character is also featured in the movie, with and without a tail as another example of the "Mandela Effect".


I like Dr. Fuchs character a lot in this movie, very rational, intelligent, and gives the main character enough ideas and information to try and create his own code to either interrupt the 'simulation' they believe, or he (the main character, he was a video game designer) is trying to create a do over and get his daughter back, re-write the simulation so speak. Unfortunately, the main character is informed by a family member of Dr. Fuchs' that he passed away before this guys gets to try out his new code; they just couldn't help themselves, about 99% of sci fi movies kill off the black guy (it might be less than that, but is extremely repetetive in these movies and pisses me off, and is very unoriginal anyways besides being racist). Dr, Fuchs had supposedly hung himself, I presume to explain the plot device that he felt extreme pressure from certain shady people or the "simulation" itself not to continue pursuing the "alternate reality" theory, which was the pressure he also felt to force him into a "disgraced" retirement. It's worth noting how many modern lynchings of black people nowdays are alleged 'suicides' by hanging.

Dr. Fuchs' character (and even the actor himself Clarke Peters looks a little bit like him too) reminds me a great deal of a real scientist mathematician by the name of Dr. Sylvester James Gates. I saw some videos with Dr. Gates discussing physics and string theory with Niel Degrasse Tyson, at least two years ago or more,




Quote:



Clarke-Peters1.jpg


Dr. Sylvester James Gates makes Neil DeGrasse Tyson desperate to hold on to Atheism








and it's my opinion that Dr. Fuchs character seems to be heavily inspired by Dr. Gates, although I found a snippet from this conference here,

2016 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate: Is the Universe a Simulation?








where Dr. Gates repudiates that he really believes in a "simulation" theory, despite the fact that he has found that there are several sets and types of equations in string theory that are identical to certain computer simulation type coding (or maybe just computer coding? done back in the 40s or 50s I think), and these equations describe the universe as they know it in the "physics" sense so to speak is what I think he was saying. My way of thinking about that is, that the computer coding even back then could have been borrowed from the mathematics in any case, and not mean that we live in an actual simulation the way I look at it.


But of course if you believe in an all powerful deity, anything it creates would be a simulation if the deity could change it at will, so in that sense I would say that a lot of religious believers faith would not really be incompatible with a "simulation" theory in my view. If we were all a mere "simulation" that also seemingly represents less free will and ability to change anything than we would have other wise to believe in some other reality, at least that's my opinion, and only one reason I reject that as any real possibility. It kind of leads to certain form of extreme relativism, especially if you mix "simulation" with "alternate/multiverse", you would always be in doubt about reality, sounds too schizophrenic for my tastes, that's why I don't particularly entertain such 'theories' for me.


The other extremely implausible piece of the movie is the absurd lack of security in the building where the quantum super computer is housed, and the main guy gets in there with no real problem (after he accidentally kills the non-disgraced academic who took over the job from Dr. Fuchs, to run the quantum computer) to download his little developed coding program to feed to the super computer, and walla, he interrupts the "simulation", ends up getting his daughter back at the end of the movie. No mention of getting the tragically "suicided" Dr. Fuchs back it seems, a terrible shame in my opinion.

Overall, if I was to rate the movie, I guess I have to give at least a D-, or 1.5 out of 5, it was interesting enough to get through the whole thing, in large part owing (for me anyway) to Dr. Fuchs' character. This movie might get a lot of attention in some conspiracy circles, especially ones like the flat earth sphere (
biggrin.gif
) of influence, a lot of flat earthers have repeatedly gone back time and time again to "simulation" style theories to explain away all the evidence that proves a global earth.

Another couple of things I've noticed about a lot of movies/shows nowadays, conspiracy thinking is depicted as being a lot more fashionable and not strictly relegated to calling all conspiracy believers nothing but "tin foil hat wearers". I would say that is probably a mixed blessing, and also that at least some conspiracies are less politically incorrect than others, and I would imagine "simulation theory" is one that is not so politically incorrect to the mainstream. Another thing is that so many movies do depict the primacy of the female character(s), depicting them as almost superiorly capable, not only mentally but physically as well, sometimes more so than male counterparts, or at least as equal to. That sets off conservatives quite a bit I know, so it doesn't bother me too much, even if it is not 100% realistic. The thing is though, it's almost always white women, so there is a racist angle to it none the less seems to me.


Anyways, that's it for now.

Post #26 (from original thread, from gl69m)
This post I'm going to cover two occurings in the world of coming automation that caught my fancy recently, robot farming and automated trucking. It will be a limited post so I won't be up all night with my slow typing ass, so I will try later to come back later and elaborate more on the one article ("Age of Robot Farmers") and the automated trucking videos.

First up, an automated strawberry picking machine/tractor with robot arm appendages attached that can pick strawberrys, maybe as good as human pickers or better, or maybe not yet or perhaps there isn't enough time/data yet to tell if that is true or not. One thing is for sure, there has to be plenty of investment (money, companies, engineers, tech folks, elites, etc,) pouring into the development of machines like this, designed to do all sorts of jobs that still require human labor for.

The Age of Robot Farmers

Picking strawberries takes speed, stamina, and skill. Can a robot do it?

By John Seabrook
April 8, 2019

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2...-robot-farmers

Not going to post the entire article here, it is pretty lengthy, just snippets of pertinent areas to my interest and what is useful and relevant to the thread. The opening paragraphs of the article,


Quote:



It was a hot February morning at Wish Farms, a large strawberry-growing operation outside Plant City, Florida. Gary Wishnatzki, the proprietor, met me at one of the farm offices. In the high season, Wish Farms picks, chills, and ships some twenty million berries—all handpicked by a seasonal workforce of six hundred and fifty farm laborers.

Wishnatzki is a genial sixty-three-year-old third-generation berry man, who wears a white goatee and speaks softly, with a Southern drawl. His grandfather Harris Wishnatzki was a penniless Russian immigrant who started out peddling fruits and vegetables from a pushcart in New York’s Washington Street Market in 1904. He and a partner established a wholesale business in 1922, and Harris moved to Plant City in 1929, to run it. Gary Wishnatzki is the first in his family to own a farm.

Wishnatzki, that name sounds like a nazi, hell the guy looks more like a german nazi than a russian in my opinion too. Or maybe his family is "jewish/russian", part of the 'jooworld order' right? Who fucking knows. So I guess his grandfather (allegedly penniless immigrant? fucking please, prove that) never owned a farm nor his dad, just sold produce secondhand, particularly berries I guess. In these two Youtube videos of Wish Farms, Wishnatzki did not sound to me as though he had a southern drawl or accent, in my opinion anyway.

Strawberry Harvesting Robot Demonstration in Florida








Notice too in the article, the mention of the ~650 seasonal workers that are needed to ordinarily pick all the strawberries and package them, get them stored, to market, etc., well that might mean 650 pickers not including the other farm and packaging workers, I don't know.

So in the article, as well as in one of the videos on automated trucking, they state a case of a "shortage" of workers taking the jobs (agricultural and trucking), and thus the business need for automated (robots/machines) to fill the labor gap/shortage. If there really is a "shortage" of workers, what is the underlying causes of that. For agriculture in the U.S., the article leans on a crackdown of immigrant workers (well the article states "illegal immigration" but this assuredly would affect "legal immigrants" as well I would have to believe), thus leading to fewer people in the workpool that normally fill those jobs.


Quote:



In recent years, though, seasonal labor has become much more scarce, and more expensive—making it difficult for growers of apples, citrus, berries, lettuce, melons, and other handpicked produce-aisle items to harvest their crops. Years of attempts to crack down on illegal immigration, both at the state and the federal level, partly explain these chronic shortages. In 2011, for example, Georgia enacted a strict immigration law that targeted undocumented workers and their employers. Later that year, the state reportedly lost eleven thousand crop workers. To fill the gap, officials established a program whereby nonviolent offenders nearing the end of their prison terms could do paid farmwork. The program had few takers, and many prisoners and probationers who did try it walked off the job, because the work was so hard. Georgia farmers lost more than a hundred and twenty million dollars.

“It’s very expensive,” Wishnatzki said of the process of getting visas for temporary agricultural workers—they are issued under a program called H-2A —because of all the red tape and the cost of housing. (“Expensive” is a relative term: H-2A workers are still among the lowest paid in the country.) “But at least it guarantees that we have workers, so we’re able to plant a crop,” he continued.

“I testified before Congress before last year’s Farm Bill, and I told them, ‘If we don’t solve this with automation, we’re in huge trouble.’ ”

The solution, Wishnatzki believes, is to make a robot that can pick strawberries. He and a business partner, Bob Pitzer, have been developing one for the past six years. With the latest iteration of their invention—known around the farm as Berry 5.1—they are getting close.

In the above video, Wishnatzki states a case for justifying replacing people with the robot that can pick the fruit, he claims the people are leaving and fewer people are wanting to take the job to replace people leaving I assume he means, and he claims that "replacing people is relative" meaning allegedly there will be some machine maintenance with higher skilled labor jobs to replace some of those job losses. Probably much fewer jobs created than lost I would think.


This video demonstrates a little more of the machine in action (the Berry 4.0 version) in the field.

SPW On RFD-TV: Robotic Strawberry Harvester Rolls Out In Florida








In this video, Pitzer mentions farmers "begging" for help because of "issues with the labor", of course he doesn't elaborate on those "issues". Paul Bisset makes claims about how the robots will cut costs; guarenteed harvesting throughout the season, reduce overage in packing and cooling costs, last thing he says is food safety (traceability) because it's "hands free"- presumably I guess he's implying germ free or less germs than hands could transmit to the fruit- If the machines aren't cleaned after several acres though would that really be true? and I guess it wouldn't be known without thoroughly testing it- have to wonder if it will get tested thoroughly before bringing robot picked produce to market- I seriously doubt that will happen. And I guess they would guarantee getting the machines up and running lickety split every time they breakdown right? I suppose, so only the wealthier farms could afford that for now anyway I would assume.


One thing the New Yorker article does indicate indirectly (without meaning to I'm sure), is that most agricultural work, particularly harvesting, has traditionally been done mostly by non-white people, though the article doesn't mention any race of the seasonal workers explicitly (most are Mexican it states); which I saw in other articles- I posted this in earlier posts that farm work was mostly done by black people up until about probably 60 years ago or so. The thing is, for all day labor jobs out in the hot sun, white people aren't the best suited for that and not many white people will do it all now days for the low pay that especially seasonal workers generally get. I lot of white supremacists complain all day long about the 'illegals' and brown immigrants coming to America for this work, but if they didn't, how many white people would do that work if they weren't doing it? I can't recall any of these stupremacists mentioning solving the problem of getting white people to fulfilling all the labor needs, if that is white people are unwilling or unable to do that work, if that is the stupremacists were actually successful in driving out all non white people, which would require that they start and win a second "civil war" I suppose, unlikely I would say, but I'm sure many of them love "the idea of starting one".

I'm sure AI/transhuman enthusiasts (who most of them are all white stupremacists also) are pushing for the machines to replace all the labor of black and brown people in the fields still currently needed, to feed not only white people but all other people too really, that American and other white dominated countries agriculture produces. To me that seems like another step in the direction for justification and setup of depopulation- particularly a racist depopulation, since most of the skilled jobs to maintain and run the machines are surely being catered by the techies to be trained/educated and filled by mostly whites, and there will be a few token but brilliant asian, black, brown and other peoples who are educated and skilled enough to get those jobs. The people losing those field jobs will mostly be driven into further poverty and be more transient than already, and this will create further human problems to deal with for them for sure.

Anyways, the article has lots of other info to cover, but is too long for one post for me, I will move on in the post to the next subject, automation of trucking.


This selection of videos highlights some discussion about the possibilities of (eventually that is) replacing human drivers, completely even, with automated self driving trucks (think "Maximum Overdrive" maybe, well hopefully not
biggrin.gif
). First two videos from actual truckers made 5 and 4 years ago, both these guys are humorous and seem to grasp the severity of the situation of truckers possibly losing jobs and definitely losing pay for sure.

Autonomous trucks are the end of trucking
Trucker Brown








Self Driving Truck Delivers Load. Is This The Future of Trucking?
ScottTheTruckDriver









And some other videos demonstrating that the trucks can drive by themselves, albeit only technically on the highway for now I guess, but still require humans on board to take over getting on and off the highway, presumably to refuel too I guess, drive in the city and back up into docks.

Dave Whyte rides in the Peterbilt autonomous truck








Embark Trucks' Self-Driving Truck Drives From Los Angeles To Jacksonville | CNBC








This video offers no proof that this truck went all that way with no humans on board, I have to assume a driver was on board for refueling, getting on and off the highway, driving into the city at final destination etc. At least I assume that anyway.

Could driverless vehicles spell the end of the road for truck drivers?








This video also claims there is a shortage of workers to fill trucking jobs, and thus the "need" for automation to fill that gap, I didn't really see them show evidence to support that, I guess it could be true but I doubt it; if anything if there is an actual shortage I think probably due to that it is getting harder and harder to obtain a CDL than it used to be than not enough actual people to fill the jobs.

This video also highlights that perhaps completely truckerless trucks are many years away (15 to 20 they say, which is what the two truckers also surmised), but many commenters in the video comments seem to believe that it is only 5-7 years away from now. Hopefully it will never happen, but the techies surly aren't going to quit trying as long as they will always have sufficient resources to pursue it. Both the truckers point out quite logically (just like I would), unlike the news commentators that didn't point this out, if everything get's automated and so many people out of work? who the fuck is gonna buy all the product that's produced, how will the "masses" afford anything if "automation" puts way too many people out of work and the jobs aren't replaced for them to go to? I could only imagine that the elites and AI enthusiasts could give a fuck less about that, but I digress, and I'm going to cut this post off for now, try and comment on more details of this article and videos later.

Post #27 (from original thread, from gl69m), I'm pretty sure I posted this one in Mid March 2020, it was before I saw the Whitehouse Coronavirus Briefing on March 20th 2020.
Not gonna spend time on following up on other posts at the moment, just wanted to say a few things about the current "pandemic' (COVID-19), and add a at least one show I think is worth checking out, called "The Unlisted" (Australian 2019, on Netflix ).



Whether or not this "pandemic' is "real" or fake/manufactured (to some extent? I suppose), I couldn't tell ya. Some small conspiracy theories are floating around; one involved Chinese spies stealing the virus from a Winnipeg Canadian govt. research lab and transporting it back to Wuhan in China, where a they say a Chinese govt. lab is reportedly a block or two away from the original seafood market where the outbreak there supposedly originally started. I saw that on some you tube video about a week ago, not sure which one didn't save a link. I'm sure there are many more ways for the Chinese govt. (among many govts. globally of course) to have possession of this virus and many others, so I wouldn't give that little theory any real attention, it seems almost besides the point to figure out a true root origin, at least from my perspective, not any great researcher here.

One thing I noticed on you tube especially, there is a large number of channels removed that up until probably a year ago, would have been calling this entire thing fake, and some removed perhaps for good reason, most others for bullshit reasons, but searching for hits on google and you tube, I was mostly coming up with mainstream (lamestream) sites calling out supposed fake-news scams about the virus, fake cures mostly, and supposedly false information about the spread/severity of the virus etc.


I was not aware until this last week or two that the COVID-19 virus is related to the SARS virus, apparently SARS is also a "corona-virus", supposedly at least 7 corona-viruses are known about, I thought I read somewhere that corona-viruses are also related to the common cold virus perhaps the cold is a corona-virus (not COVID-19 strain of course), not really sure about that right now.

I would likely think (IMO) we are really dealing with a real virus and not a "fake" one, although whether it is genetically engineered or not, how the fuck would the lay public be able to know? As far as, is it a "real" pandemic as opposed to entirely "fake", I would believe it is real, to an extent, but that would not mean it isn't or couldn't be a planned or manufactured event, and how many actual true cases of infection are there? They could lie about the numbers either way, way too high or too low, we would have no way of knowing.

It does seem to me, that people, not merely govt.s and companies/corporations, are taking this way more seriously than any of the other so-called outbreaks of the past 15-20 years; SARS of course, different bird and pig flu's, the ebola scare, west nile virus, Chaga's disease, Zika virus, I'm sure I'm missing many here, you get the point. Seems like the numbers of cases of this virus is definitely higher than the previous "outbreaks', haven't researched that though. It still seems relatively tame though to me, the severity and quickness of it, death toll (%), compared to numbers given about past epidemics; and kind of tame for a "shit hits the fan" event; but I would say, it is probably (most likely) a dry run for a future "shit hits the fan" event(s)/outbreak(s). Just my conjecture of course.


So far, I have not heard of any probable "confirmed" cases in my town of Alton, or the metro east Illinois side of the St. Louis area, but I did hear about a "confirmed" case reported in St. Louis, supposedly there are 5 confirmed cases in Missouri, and supposedly at least 93 cases in Illinois, per Chicago Tribune article, and Illinois is shutting down restaurants and bars from inside customers,

https://www.chicagotribune.com/coron...3xq-story.html




Quote:



Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced Sunday that all bars and restaurants in Illinois will be closed to the public, beginning at close of business Monday through March 30. They will remain open for delivery, drive-through and curbside pick-up orders, the governor said.



Here are the latest updates on the coronavirus in the Chicago area and Illinois:

5:56 p.m.: 93 cases in 13 counties

Dr. Ngozi Ezike, director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, said there are now 93 confirmed cases in 13 counties statewide.

“The number of positive test results we get each day is increasing exponentially, and the number of counties across Illinois is also expanding,” she said. “People should assume that this novel coronavirus is in their communities. And we all need to take steps to protect ourselves and reduce the spread.”

She said there’s evidence that transmission of the virus occurs when symptoms first start, “so it’s important to limit close contact with people as much as possible, even if you don’t feel that sick.

Of course I have heard on social media, the encouragement of "social distancing", keeping a minimum of 6 feet (?) between people in crowds and public spaces, so they are encouraging "anti-social" behavior, so to speak,
Anthrax - Antisocial (Lyrics on screen)








and of course, self quarantine, for two weeks minimum, if you feel sick, or whatever. The shelves in many grocery and department stores are getting low on stock, particularly paper towels and toilet paper, hand sanitizer, I'm not sure what all else, some is from over buying but some is the shipments are reduced I think, and some the stores may be with holding stock in order not to run out perhaps, so some is supply being interrupted by various means, perhaps "manufactured" temporary shortage so to speak in some way as well.


Trump of course accused Democrats of "politicizing" the outbreak by blowing it out of proportion I guess he means; and he called it their new "hoax" although I didn't see anywhere where he explained (or anyone else for him) what he supposedly meant what the "hoax" was about this event that the Democrats are allegedly perpetrating- according to him. I'm assuming he did not mean that he believes the virus or "outbreak' is entirely "fake", as it were. Meanwhile, he seems to be sticking to the travel bans to and from China, and now Europe, right now I don't know where all else. All schools are shut down for now in Illinois as far as I know, perhaps other states as well. My kids are out of school now, so doesn't affect us, but has to be affecting a huge number of people of course. I don't know about day cares right now.


This show, "The Unlisted", on Netflix, I think is pretty good, I liked it, watched all 15 episodes (season 1), the ending (slight spoiler alert) seems to beg for a second season, don't know if there will be one or not though.

When they learn of a secret plot to turn students into super-soldiers, identical twins Dru and Kal team up with a band of runaway rebels to take back their world.

I thought it was relatively well acted, I really like the twins role in this, the brothers seemed to work well together in the story. The plot revolves around a company that is using what is known as the "Global Child Initiative" (not sure if it is only a corporate or also govt. initiative, I suspect govt. sponsored too?) to secretly implant the students with chips that can be turned on to "mind control" the student's behaviors, and give them extra strength/stamina (which I find that part {extra strength] one of the usual implausibilities of these kinds of shows, what do you expect though, it is science "fiction"). The "Global Child Initiative" sounds like a descendant of the "The no child left behind" act of George Sr. Bush fame to me, supposedly to help increase education for as many children as possible and supposedly to alleviate much of global poverty (yeah right, the plot totally proves the opposite of course) as possible as well.

One thing about the ending episode, the plot makes it appear as though the govt. and the major investors seem to be unawares of the secret plot, I find that really another implausibility, which seemingly really doesn't make sense in the real world to me. Anyways, though, overall I like the series so far, and it underscores that there is no reason to discount that there (probably) are secret plots out there for real, most likely would be govt./corporate, to implant us and control us, generations in the future at least; however the show makes it look way too easy to fight that kind of conspiracy off with smart and nerdy kids and the internet, another implausibility I think in the real world.


For all we know, a vaccine program, like that probably being now developed for the current pandemic even, could be used to "implant" children (and anybody really) with chips or even nano-bots, for such a purpose, mind control of the population. Just my conjecture of course. All for now, later.

Tokyo, 6th February 2006 --- Hitachi, Ltd. (NYSE:HIT / TSE:6501) today announced it has developed and verified operation of a 0.15 x 0.15 millimeter (mm), 7.5 micrometer (µm)*1 thick contactless IC chip, the smallest and thinnest in the world, to date. The chip is a smaller version of the 0.4 x 0.4 mm "µ-Chip"*2 currently being marketed by Hitachi, maintaining the same level of functionality. The distance between each circuit element was reduced by using SOI technology,*3 which has an insulating layer in the substrate, instead of the Si (silicon) only substrate currently being used. Compared to the 0.3 x 0.3 mm, 60µm thick IC chip*4(henceforth 0.3mm IC chip) announced by Hitachi in February 2003, surface area is reduced to a quarter of the original size. Developments in thin chip fabrication technology have also enabled the chip to be reduced to one-eighth the thickness of the 0.3mm IC chip, at the same time. This significant decrease in size, increases the number of chips which can be fabricated on a single wafer, thus increasing productivity by more than four times. Compared to the current product which was used at the 2005 World Exposition held in Aichi, Japan, productivity is increased by about 10 times. This technology is expected to open the way to new applications for contactless IC chips.

The µ-Chip is one of the world's smallest contactless IC chips which uses an external antenna to receive radio waves (2.45 GHz microwaves), and transforms it to energy to wirelessly transmit a 128 bit (10^38 ) unique ID number. As the data is written during the fabrication process using ROM (Read-Only-Memory), it is impossible to rewrite the data and thus provides a high level of authenticity. The admission ticket system for the 2005 World Exposition, which had approximately 22,050,000 visitors, employed the µ-Chip, has a performance record of no incidence of confirmed forgery and 0.001% incidence of ticket recognition error. By taking advantage of the merits of compactness, high authenticity and contactless communication, and combining it with Internet technology, the µ-Chip may be utilized in a broad range of applications such as security, transportation, amusement, traceability and logistics.

Hitachi has been working on technology such as increasing communication distance and decreasing antenna size, whilst maintaining those merits, to enable a broader range of applications for the µ-Chip. The enhanced compactness and thinness of this new chip has further broadened the range of possible applications, including securities like gift certificates and a large variety of certificates. Further, as with the 0.3mm IC chip, the new chip has a double-surface electrode, and therefore despite its even smaller size, connection with the external antenna can be easily achieved, and high productivity maintained.

Features of the IC chip developed
icon05-3.gif
(1) World's smallest size achieved through application of SOI technology In the past, to prevent malfunction as a result of interference from neighboring devices, a wide device separation region was necessary around high frequency devices. Using SOI process, each device was surrounded by insulator, thus even when the devices were located in close proximity, interference between devices could be prevented and thus higher integration achieved on an even smaller area.
icon05-3.gif
(2) Thin chip achieved through application of SOI technology This was achieved by complete removal of the silicon layer on the reverse side of the SOI substrate on which the circuit is fabricated.
These results will be presented at the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC 2006), being held from 5th - 9th February 2006, in San Francisco, California, U.S.A.

Pretty freaky shit, maybe we are all chipped already and don't even know it, ugghh!

Hopefully not, not sure if there is anyway to check your body for something like this, not like examining your skin for fleas or bites, or even (gosh forbid) lice in your hair or something, especially something inside your body or blood. I wonder if there are even smaller chips than this available by now, even nano-sized ones.

Wanted to post some important information on (quite) probable coming automation that may well displace many a 'covid' unemployment stint, perhaps even before full so-called re-openings are fully allowed? Here are 10 articles about automation, that writers of seem to think that automation may well displace some jobs, maybe many, before the year is over? Possibly, haven't read all of them fully yet, only skimmed a few really.

How does U.S. spending compare to other countries?

The United States is not the only country to recognize the tremendous economic potential of nanotechnology. The U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative's member agencies have cumulatively spent more than $23 billion since the inception of the NNI in 2001. According to a Lux Research estimate released in December 2015, “The U.S. leads in government (state and Federal) nanotechnology funding with $1.72 billion spent in 2013 and $1.67 billion spent in 2014. Europe’s collective spending (European Commission and individual country programs) was $2.45 billion in 2014, an increase of 9.8% from 2012. While some countries, such as the U.S., continue to have centralized government programs to coordinate nanotechnology activities, most countries no longer do. In fact, many countries no longer explicitly fund nanotechnology, although it may be a part of initiatives that are funded under different technology support programs. Because of this change, it is difficult to determine with certainty the level of nanotechnology funding by country or region.”

Learn more on the NNI Budget page.

For example, there are over 1,900 U.S.-based companies conducting R&D, manufacturing, or product sales in nanotechnology in 2016. Of these companies engaged in the nanotechnology sector, over 36% have participated in the Small Business Innovation Research or Small Business Technology Transfer programs funded by the Federal agencies that participate in the National Nanotechnology Initiative. The most recent Business R&D and Innovation Survey (BRDIS) conducted by the National Science Foundation (NSF) found approximately 1,500 companies engaged in nanotechnology with approximately 1,100 of these classified as small businesses (less than 500 employees). The difference in the number of companies cited above can be attributed to the year the data was collected and other methodologies.
(I bet most if not all of these small businesses are "essential', am I right or am I right, ah ah,
icon_wink.gif
)

In December 2015, Lux Research estimated that nanotechnology-enabled products generated $1.6 trillion in global revenues in 2014; and that figure is anticipated to increase to $3.5 trillion in 2018.

Are nanotechnology products available today?

Yes, nanotechnology is enabling more and more products every day, from engine catalysts to cancer medicines to stain-proof pants, and everything in between. Revenue from the sale of nanotechnology-enabled products in the United States has grown more than six-fold from 2009 through 2016.

Previous estimates stated that 6 million nanotechnology jobs will be needed by 2020, with 2 million of those jobs in the United States
(Roco, Mirkin, and Hersam 2010). According to the U.S. News/Raytheon analysis, the number of STEM jobs increased 20 percent between 2000 and 2014. Looking ahead, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects that between 2012 and 2022, employment in occupations that NSF classifies as science and engineering (S&E) will increase 15 percent.

Wikipedia on nano-robots,

Nanorobotics
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanorobotics
Nanorobotics is an emerging technology field creating machines or robots whose components are at or near the scale of a nanometer (10-9 meters).[1][2][3] More specifically, nanorobotics (as opposed to microrobotics) refers to the nanotechnology engineering discipline of designing and building nanorobots, with devices ranging in size from 0.1–10 micrometres and constructed of nanoscale or molecular components.[4][5] The terms nanobot, nanoid, nanite, nanomachine, or nanomite have also been used to describe such devices currently under research and development.[6][7]

Nanomachines are largely in the research and development phase,[8] but some primitive molecular machines and nanomotors have been tested. An example is a sensor having a switch approximately 1.5 nanometers across, able to count specific molecules in the chemical sample. The first useful applications of nanomachines may be in nanomedicine. For example,[9] biological machines could be used to identify and destroy cancer cells.[10][11] Another potential application is the detection of toxic chemicals, and the measurement of their concentrations, in the environment. Rice University has demonstrated a single-molecule car developed by a chemical process and including Buckminsterfullerenes (buckyballs) for wheels. It is actuated by controlling the environmental temperature and by positioning a scanning tunneling microscope tip.

Nanorobot race

In the same ways that technology research and development drove the space race and nuclear arms race, a race for nanorobots is occurring.[18][19][20][21][22] There is plenty of ground allowing nanorobots to be included among the emerging technologies.[23] Some of the reasons are that large corporations, such as General Electric, Hewlett-Packard, Synopsys, Northrop Grumman and Siemens have been recently working in the development and research of nanorobots;[24][25][26][27][28] surgeons are getting involved and starting to propose ways to apply nanorobots for common medical procedures;[29] universities and research institutes were granted funds by government agencies exceeding $2 billion towards research developing nanodevices for medicine;[30][31] bankers are also strategically investing with the intent to acquire beforehand rights and royalties on future nanorobots commercialisation.[32] Some aspects of nanorobot litigation and related issues linked to monopoly have already arisen.[33][34][35] A large number of patents has been granted recently on nanorobots, done mostly for patent agents, companies specialized solely on building patent portfolios, and lawyers. After a long series of patents and eventually litigations, see for example the invention of radio, or the war of currents, emerging fields of technology tend to become a monopoly, which normally is dominated by large corporations.[36]

Biochip
Main article: Biochip

The joint use of nanoelectronics, photolithography, and new biomaterials provides a possible approach to manufacturing nanorobots for common medical uses, such as surgical instrumentation, diagnosis, and drug delivery.[37][38][39] This method for manufacturing on nanotechnology scale is in use in the electronics industry since 2008.[40] So, practical nanorobots should be integrated as nanoelectronics devices, which will allow tele-operation and advanced capabilities for medical instrumentation.[41][42]


Nubots
Main article: DNA machine

A nucleic acid robot (nubot) is an organic molecular machine at the nanoscale.[43] DNA structure can provide means to assemble 2D and 3D nanomechanical devices. DNA based machines can be activated using small molecules, proteins and other molecules of DNA.[44][45][46] Biological circuit gates based on DNA materials have been engineered as molecular machines to allow in-vitro drug delivery for targeted health problems.[47] Such material based systems would work most closely to smart biomaterial drug system delivery,[48] while not allowing precise in vivo teleoperation of such engineered prototypes.

Biohybrids

The emerging field of bio-hybrid systems combines biological and synthetic structural elements for biomedical or robotic applications. The constituting elements of bio-nanoelectromechanical systems (BioNEMS) are of nanoscale size, for example DNA, proteins or nanostructured mechanical parts. Thiol-ene ebeam resist allow the direct writing of nanoscale features, followed by the functionalization of the natively reactive resist surface with biomolecules.[53] Other approaches use a biodegradable material attached to magnetic particles that allow them to be guided around the body.[54]
Bacteria-based

This approach proposes the use of biological microorganisms, like the bacterium Escherichia coli[55] and Salmonella typhimurium.[56] Thus the model uses a flagellum for propulsion purposes. Electromagnetic fields normally control the motion of this kind of biological integrated device.[57] Chemists at the University of Nebraska have created a humidity gauge by fusing a bacterium to a silicone computer chip.[58]
Virus-based

Retroviruses can be retrained to attach to cells and replace DNA. They go through a process called reverse transcription to deliver genetic packaging in a vector.[59] Usually, these devices are Pol – Gag genes of the virus for the Capsid and Delivery system. This process is called retroviral gene therapy, having the ability to re-engineer cellular DNA by usage of viral vectors.[60] This approach has appeared in the form of retroviral, adenoviral, and lentiviral gene delivery systems.[61] These gene therapy vectors have been used in cats to send genes into the genetically modified organism (GMO), causing it to display the trait. [62]

Nanomedicine
Main article: Nanomedicine

Potential uses for nanorobotics in medicine include early diagnosis and targeted drug-delivery for cancer,[65][66][67] biomedical instrumentation,[68] surgery,[69][70] pharmacokinetics,[10] monitoring of diabetes,[71][72][73] and health care.

In such plans, future medical nanotechnology is expected to employ nanorobots injected into the patient to perform work at a cellular level. Such nanorobots intended for use in medicine should be non-replicating, as replication would needlessly increase device complexity, reduce reliability, and interfere with the medical mission.

Nanotechnology provides a wide range of new technologies for developing customized means to optimize the delivery of pharmaceutical drugs. Today, harmful side effects of treatments such as chemotherapy are commonly a result of drug delivery methods that don't pinpoint their intended target cells accurately.[74] Researchers at Harvard and MIT, however, have been able to attach special RNA strands, measuring nearly 10 nm in diameter, to nanoparticles, filling them with a chemotherapy drug. These RNA strands are attracted to cancer cells. When the nanoparticle encounters a cancer cell, it adheres to it, and releases the drug into the cancer cell.[75] This directed method of drug delivery has great potential for treating cancer patients while avoiding negative effects (commonly associated with improper drug delivery).[74][76] The first demonstration of nanomotors operating in living organisms was carried out in 2014 at University of California, San Diego.[77] MRI-guided nanocapsules are one potential precursor to nanorobots.[78]

Another useful application of nanorobots is assisting in the repair of tissue cells alongside white blood cells.[79] Recruiting inflammatory cells or white blood cells (which include neutrophil granulocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, and mast cells) to the affected area is the first response of tissues to injury.[80] Because of their small size, nanorobots could attach themselves to the surface of recruited white cells, to squeeze their way out through the walls of blood vessels and arrive at the injury site, where they can assist in the tissue repair process. Certain substances could possibly be used to accelerate the recovery.

The science behind this mechanism is quite complex. Passage of cells across the blood endothelium, a process known as transmigration, is a mechanism involving engagement of cell surface receptors to adhesion molecules, active force exertion and dilation of the vessel walls and physical deformation of the migrating cells. By attaching themselves to migrating inflammatory cells, the robots can in effect “hitch a ride” across the blood vessels, bypassing the need for a complex transmigration mechanism of their own.[79]

As of 2016, in the United States, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates nanotechnology on the basis of size.[81]

Soutik Betal, during his doctoral research at the University of Texas, San Antonio developed nanocomposite particles that are controlled remotely by an electromagnetic field.[82] This series of nanorobots that are now enlisted in the Guinness World Records,[82] can be used to interact with the biological cells.[83] Scientists suggest that this technology can be used for the treatment of cancer.[84]

I think this shows a strong precedent (unless this is all just a huge amount of money wasted on "science fiction'
icon_rolleyes.gif
whistle.gif
) that the U.S. and EU, probably Russia and China as well, all have the means to produce nano technology, as such what would be necessary to make "nano-machines" or "self assembling nano-particles" say to put in a 'covid-19' universal CoV vaccine (like the NIH/NIAID powerpoint pdf I've shown before)? I think so, that I have shown they have the intent to do so, and seem to have the capability to mass produce it too.

ID2020 Launches Technical Certification Mark

https://medium.com/id2020/id2020-lau...k-e6743d3f70fd


Quote:



Following the completion of v1.0 of ID2020’s Technical Requirements, we are proud to announce the launch of the ID2020 Certification Mark. Both of these efforts reaffirm our mission to improve lives through digital identity by adhering to our core principles of portability, persistence, privacy, and user control.

Aiming higher

Digital identity is being defined now — and we need to get it right. Digital identity is a term that comprises a host of technologies, processes, and systems. The ID2020 Certification Mark is not a baseline certification; it isn’t an attempt to bound the complex, uneven, and ever-expanding landscape of digital identity. Instead, the Certification Mark is an opportunity to recognize technologies that we believe could form the basis of a “good” digital identity. Our Certification Mark deliberately sets a high bar. We want to incentivize companies and organizations to design with our principles and technical requirements in mind, and fully intend for our Certification Mark to play a market-shaping role.

Some notes on the process

We have deliberately designed a simple application form in order to incentivize participation. We’ll summarize the process below, but want to note that we are fully open to revising current workflow and criteria — this is a living effort designed to evolve over time.

-Company/organization fills out the ID2020 Certification Mark Application Form.
-Our experts review the answers and, if necessary, follow up for clarification.
-If after our initial review and follow-up the digital identity doesn’t meet our requirements, we don’t issue a Certification Mark.
-If, on the other hand, we are satisfied with our initial review and follow-up, then we award our Certification Mark.
-The content of the application form is published on ID2020.org, along with a unique ID for the assessed digital identity system that the company/organization can use in its communications.


Three very pertinent companies involved in ID2020:

Rockefeller Foundation
Since 1913, the Rockefeller Foundation has sought to improve the well-being of humanity around the world. The Rockefeller Foundation provided ID2020 with seed funding in in 2017 and has been an ongoing supporter of ID2020’s work.

Microsoft (gates of hell)
The American multinational technology company joined ID2020 in January 2018 as a founding partner. Members of the Microsoft team sit on ID2020’s Technical and Program Delivery Advisory Committees.

Gavi
The vaccine Alliance

Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance brings together public and private sectors with the shared goal of creating equal access to new and underused vaccines for children living in the world’s poorest countries. Dr. Seth Berkley, CEO of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, sits on our Executive Board.

We Need to Get Digital ID Right
Since 2016, ID2020 has advocated for ethical, privacy-protecting approaches to digital ID.

We refer to the core requirements of that digital ID as the four P’s:

Private
Only you control your own identity, what data is shared and with whom
How exactly can they guarantee this, even if they actually intended to?


Portable
Accessible anywhere you happen to be through multiple methods

Persistent
Lives with you from life to death

Personal
Unique to you and you only

In September 2015, all United Nations member states adopted the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, including their commitment to “provide legal identity for all, including birth registration” by 2030.

Introduction

This paper is the outcome of a
two-day ‘Expert Meeting on Identity
Management 2030’ held on July 1st
and 2nd 2015. The meeting was
organised by the Dutch National Office
for Identity Data (RvIG) at The Hague
in The Netherlands and supported by
the International Civil Aviation
Organisation (ICAO). It involved the
active participation of 36 international
experts1 in the field of ID2 management.
Most of the participants were
representatives of public, national
and international organisations.
About a third of them came from the
Netherlands, a sixth from European
countries, a quarter from African,
American, Asian and Oceanian
countries and another quarter from
international organisations.

Concepts and infrastructures

In 2030, the concept of identification
is relative, quantitative and dynamic
In 2030, general acceptance has been reached on the fact
that identity can be approached but not completely
established, and that no conclusive proof of identity exists
[1-2]. As a result, evidence of identity is used to challenge
the hypothesis of identity during the core ID management
processes of creating, checking and ending identities,
rather than proving identity. The concept of absolute,
qualitative and static identification, promising binary and
error-free statements of identity independently of the
scenario, technology and circumstances, has given way to
a more realistic concept of identification as relative,
quantitative and dynamic.

5 Directions

In 2015, after the expert meeting, a series of directions were identified for the identity (ID) management
progressing towards 2030:

IDENTIFICATION
The concept of identification will evolve from an absolute,
qualitative and static definition of identification relying on a
proof of identity, towards a relative, quantitative and dynamic
definition of identification relying on evidence of identity

NCRA
In each country, a National Civil Registration Authority will
be created to develop efficient and trusted ID management
services based on a Unique Personal Number (UPN),
informative and integer data, and will comply at the same
time with the recommended practices of the IIMO and
data protection and privacy regulations

IIMO
The Identity Management Organisation will be created to
harmonize and coordinate ID management at a global level
and support the development of digital ID infrastructures
within the National Civil Registration Authorities (NCRAs)

TRUST
The IIMO will support the vision of a global identity chain
growing the trusted ID information of the NCRAs and no
longer based on the ill-trusted information of breeder
documents

DIGITAL
Digital ID infrastructures will replace paper-based processes
and allow for NCRAs to align their operational efficiencies
to the challenges arising from a rapidly-growing and more
mobile population and to cope with the amplification of
the migration phenomenon, desired or forced, for
personal, economical, political, religious, climatological
or other safety reasons

page 19

TOKEN
The tokens storing the personal and biometric data digitally
are designed to be multipurpose and cost-effective, and
their form factor is left to the discretion of their owners
I'm assuming these are small electronic portable data storage, to be held and possessed by the individual that holds all your "identity data"

Will they require micro-chip implants for all people in order to have the data secured on each person should all "tokens" or other devices or data(bases?) be lost or identity lost in system somehow?

according
to page 13
Particularly sighted users even choose to have several tokens,
each of them being a backup in case of loss, technical failure or
theft. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) microchip
implantation is another mature technology, but its spread is
still limited in 2030 due to its invasiveness
for users as well as
its tagging aspect recalling some inglorious historical
precedents.
In this respect, biometric technology remains a
non-invasive solution for identification and a credible
alternative to the use of microchip implants.
still limited it says, for now? how about in the future? Perhaps only in prisoners or people who volunteer to get them? children perhaps too?

ID2020: What’s Needed For Digital Identity In 2020
Posted on March 27, 202
https://www.pymnts.com/safety-and-se...ment-deadline/


Quote:



A computerized version of identity may gain special urgency as COVID-19 continues to threaten public health. Tracking vaccines certainly will be important in ending pandemics, now and in the future. That’s part of the ID2020 Alliance, which launched late last year, and which has joint efforts in place with the government of Bangladesh and the vaccine alliance Gavi, among others.

In an announcement upon the launch, ID2020 Executive Director Dakota Gruener said, “Digital ID is being defined and implemented today, and we recognize the importance of swift action to close the identity gap.” As noted in this space, immunization is serving as a platform for digital IDs, tied to birth registration and vaccinations to provide newborns with biometrically-underpinned digital identity.

Gavi, for its part, said at the time of the ID2020 launch that 89 percent of children and adolescents who do not have identification live where that organization is active — indicating that public health may be the springboard to giving people, at birth, the records they need later in life to participate fully in the global economy.

So, if they desire to create technological platforms to identify every last living human being on earth by the year 2030, why do they keep putting out the 'conspiracy theory' 'debunks' about ID2020 being related to a 'covid-19' vaccine??

The case of ID2020

A public-private coalition – members include representatives from Microsoft and Accenture as well as NGOs, academia, blockchain firms, and others – ID2020 is advising the government of Bangladesh on a vaccination records system.

The non-profit, which does not work on embedded microchips, is falsely accused of being part of fictitious plans that allege Bill Gates supports mandatory vaccination and the implantation of microchips or “quantum dot tattoos” into patients.

The claims about Gates have been debunked by fact-checkers at Reuters, but ID2020 is not listed in the leading database of COVID-19 debunks.

False claim: Bill Gates planning to use microchip implants to fight coronavirus

VERDICT

False: Bill Gates foresees the use of “digital certificates” with health records, but did not say these would be in the form of microchip implants. (he didn't say they that microchip implants would not be used either) There are no plans (only according to them, with no evidence offered, just a dismissal) to use this future technology during the coronavirus outbreak.

“Q: What changes are we going to have to make to how businesses operate to maintain our economy while providing social distancing?

Bill Gates: The question of which businesses should keep going is tricky. Certainly, food supply and the health system. We still need water, electricity and the internet. Supply chains for critical things need to be maintained. Countries are still figuring out what to keep running. Eventually we will have some digital certificates to show who has recovered or been tested recently or when we have a vaccine who has received it.”
they fail to include any quote from where billdoe even says anything about how the "digital certificates" will be stored and on what or that he said that absolutely no implants (of any kind) will be used...

These 'debunkers' are pathetic, I fail to see how any of these so-called 'debunks' of digital identity linked to 'cv19' vaccine are valid whatsoever, with the available information that I just posted above these.

Related to the 'cv19' vaccine and at least partial identity based on vaccination records in "quantum dot" dye implants,

Storing medical information below the skin’s surface
Specialized dye, delivered along with a vaccine, could enable “on-patient” storage of vaccination history.

Quote:



MIT researchers have now developed a novel way to record a patient’s vaccination history: storing the data in a pattern of dye, invisible to the naked eye, that is delivered under the skin at the same time as the vaccine.

The researchers showed that their new dye, which consists of nanocrystals called quantum dots, can remain for at least five years under the skin, where it emits near-infrared light that can be detected by a specially equipped smartphone.

An invisible record

Several years ago, the MIT team set out to devise a method for recording vaccination information in a way that doesn’t require a centralized database or other infrastructure. Many vaccines, such as the vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), require multiple doses spaced out at certain intervals; without accurate records, children may not receive all of the necessary doses.

To create an “on-patient,” decentralized medical record, the researchers developed a new type of copper-based quantum dots, which emit light in the near-infrared spectrum. The dots are only about 4 nanometers in diameter, but they are encapsulated in biocompatible microparticles that form spheres about 20 microns in diameter. This encapsulation allows the dye to remain in place, under the skin, after being injected.

The microneedles used in this study are made from a mixture of dissolvable sugar and a polymer called PVA, as well as the quantum-dot dye and the vaccine. When the patch is applied to the skin, the microneedles, which are 1.5 millimeters long, partially dissolve, releasing their payload within about two minutes.

By selectively loading microparticles into microneedles, the patches deliver a pattern in the skin that is invisible to the naked eye but can be scanned with a smartphone that has the infrared filter removed. The patch can be customized to imprint different patterns that correspond to the type of vaccine delivered.

“It’s possible someday that this ‘invisible’ approach could create new possibilities for data storage, biosensing, and vaccine applications that could improve how medical care is provided, particularly in the developing world,” Langer says.

The research was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Koch Institute Support (core) Grant from the National Cancer Institute.

It is argued that the "quantum dots" are just a "dye" and not "implants"; however the "quantum dots" are composed of nanocrystals and those can be designed to be used as possible RFIDs, and these can be read like a barcode which is more or less a passive transponder anyhow. Plus they are encapsulated in biocompatible microparticles that form spheres about 20 microns in diameter. Why is this research funded several years ago by gates and koch but also why would these not be used to deliver a 'cv19' vaccine? unless it's still "experimental' by the time one is ready; which might be by October,

Abstract
This Invention contemplates a system and method to manufacture an active RFID integrated circuit as a system on a chip which is powered by enzymes located in mammalian bodies. According to this Invention the active integrated circuit system on a chip is manufactured of a glass capsule containing a porous membrane which allows the free flow of bodily fluids into and out of the capsule. The enzymes in the bodily fluids of mammals produce sufficient electrical charge to power an active RFID transponder.

This energy is stored in an enlarged capacitor of the active transponder for use when required. In spite of the enlarged capacitor the entire system on a chip integrated circuit will be less than the size of a grain of rice.
perhaps not micron size, but they probably getting smaller and smaller over time, and probably small enough to use? in the quantum dot capsule of 20 micron size, from 2007 till now in 2020-

Application 11683056 is a system of producing an RFID antenna using the silicon in an integrated circuit as the resonant antenna material for the purpose of reducing the cost of an RFID system and for the purpose of increasing the range and selectivity of the RFID system. According to this Application the base silicon sheets which make up the primary building material of the silicon chip (integrated circuit) is subjected to a laser ablation process. This creates three dimensional nano structures on the surface of the silicon thereby raising its absorption rate of electro magnetic signals. On the reverse side of the same silicon sheet a directional antenna is etched using standard photographic reduction techniques and standard semi conductor industry manufacturing methods. The two sides of the silicon are connected through doping aluminum or copper impurities into these same base silicon sheets causing conductivity within the sheet of silicon.

Designing a device which transmits electro magnetic signals from inside the body poses several difficulties. These include the size of the device, power consumption and the compatibility of materials with the body. Different body tissues, such as muscle, bone, or fat, have a different resistance to electro magnetic signals. Antennas for such devices must be extremely small and efficient to minimize signal loss and preserve power. Pursuant to this embodiment a doctor could monitor the pacemaker of a patient in her office and make adjustments wirelessly. This is as opposed to the current medical environment whereby a problematic pacemaker would have to be surgically removed and an adjusted pacemaker inserted.

The solution proposed by this Invention is to manufacture an active integrated circuit RFID transponder powered by the enzymes of the human body. The transponder would be read by low frequency interrogators. According to this medical embodiment the active integrated circuit would be manufactured of a capsule covered by a porous membrane which would allow the free flow of bodily fluids into and out of the capsule. The enzymes in the bodily fluids of the patient would produce sufficient electrical charge to power the active transponder. The electrical charge is generated through an anode and cathode manufactured into the capsule. The capsule would be of bio compatible silicon.

The antenna would be silicon, as outlined in Application 11683056, and tuned to a low frequency, as outlined in Application 11676304. The capsule would be embedded into the pacemaker, hearing aid or muscle stimulator. The result would be an active transponder.

6. The system and method of claim 1 whereby an integral part of the system on a chip integrated circuit is an anode and cathode constructed at a nano scale;
7
. The system and method of claim 1 whereby the casing or capsule for the system on a chip integrated circuit is coated with bio conducive material which promotes the bonding of mammalian bodily tissue
8. The system and method of claim 2 whereby the antenna of the system on a chip integrated circuit is tuned to a specific frequency in order to obviate the detuning effects of whatever mammalian bodily fluids and tissue are present in a given embodiment situation which may interfere with an effective electro magnetic signal to the RFID transponder and from RFID interrogator and vice versa.

All embodiments herein are used as examples only and do not represent limitations to the Claims of this Invention.

Could the capsule for the quantum dot vaccine patch of MIT's be like that in this patent application, glass but porous to allow ingress and egress of body fluids to power an RFID transponder? I don't see how that is impossible at all.

This article here may show impending proof of significant job loss due to automation/robots even at this time now as I type this,

Amid the coronavirus pandemic, many companies could replace their workers with robots
Jun 6 2020

Key Points

  • During downturns, companies usually invest in automation to save on labor costs.
  • One expert discusses why we’ll see even more of that during the coronavirus pandemic.
  • ’As one CEO said to me, ‘The machine doesn’t fall ill,’” said Ravin Jesuthasan, who’s written three books on the future of work.

The coronavirus pandemic has destroyed tens of millions of American jobs. How many of them will come back?

That might be one of the most pressing questions of the Covid-19 recession. Arguably no other downturn has threatened to leave American life so unrecognizable.

What will the labor market look like in six months? Or 10 years?

For some predictions, CNBC spoke with Ravin Jesuthasan, who’s written three books on the future of work and is a member of the World Economic Forum’s Steering Committee on Work and Employment.

We know from history, every time we’ve had a recession, we’ve come out of it with more automation, and we’re in the mother of all recessions right now,” Jesuthasan said.


The interview has been condensed and edited for clarity

CNBC: How do you see this Covid-19 recession impacting the automation of work?

Ravin Jesuthasan: Many companies are applying automation in an accelerated fashion as they look to deal with some of the cost issues of this pandemic. And so much work now needs to be done with social distancing, without contact, so we’re seeing the use of artificial intelligence and robotics to take on what might have been done by humans. As one CEO said to me, ‘The machine doesn’t fall ill.’

CNBC: Which industries are moving quickest with automation?


RJ: Where you’re seeing a surge in demand, you’re seeing more automation. For example, many banks are seeing a spike in calls as a result of the CARES Act. And instead of hiring talent, banks are speeding up robotic automation and chat bots to handle the routine transaction requests. Because of the concern of spreading the infection, we’re seeing more interest in automation in logistics, distribution and manufacturing. I actually think it’s going to affect virtually every industry in some way, shape or form.

CNBC: What jobs would people be most surprised to learn can be automated?

RJ: The work of artists. We think of automation as being for the dirty, dull and dangerous. We don’t think of artificial intelligence as being particularly creative, but we’ve seen A.I. compose music, create paintings. The last few years we’ve seen so much artificial intelligence come into portfolio management. That’s work that was once seen as requiring very high IQs, critical thinking, judgement. Today, a lot of that can be automated.

CNBC: Is there a way a person can learn how likely it is that their job could be automated? And if they think they’re at risk, what can they do?

RJ: Some organizations are asking their employees: ‘Can automation do parts of your job better than you can?’ and promising them that they will be re-skilled for a job elsewhere in the company. It’s essential that employees continuously reevaluate and question their jobs.

reassess their own jobs? for the good of the company and not themselves, and they shouldn't say fuck you for that??!!

What is the highly repetitive, rules-based work that might be substituted by automation? And what might automation free you up to do that has higher value?become a paid to stay at home sheltered in fake 'corona pandemic' stiff, is the profits the company making from increases automation for these newly laid off workers to stay at home?? Sure, sure it will...


CNBC: As automation takes off, how do we protect workers and make sure many Americans don’t find themselves jobless?

RJ: The way we avoid a jobless recovery, which is not an insignificant risk coming out of this pandemic, is to ensure that we’re approaching automation by not just thinking about replacing humans with machines.

I hope he's talking about the CEO's of the corporations here..Not only is that wrong, it can be counterproductive. There’s a large retailer we work with that approached it that way, and they ended up needing to add a lot of talent because the machine required a bunch of new skills around it to operate it effectively. Their labor costs went up 30%, not down by the 50% they had expected. eventually robots will be fixing all the machines and other robots, this cost they figure will be worth it (for them) in the long run I bet The mere presence of a robot in a factory creates three types of tasks: someone to install it, someone to operate it and then someone to maintain it. Organizations that are truly progressive will think about how to keep re-training people to find new ways of getting them to work. how many "progressive companies? very few I'd imagine


CNBC: What might the government do? agenda 21 and 2030

RJ: I think a universal basic income has a real place in this debate was never seriously considered by the global corporate leaders until 'corona', hmmm... because I think we’ll go through a period of serious transition and something like a basic income can help us get through it while at the same time we re-skill the population for the new work that’s emerging. for the "essentials' right? yeah I think we know

AI liscence plate reader is supposedly to blame for this incident here,

Aurora police detain Black family after mistaking their vehicle as stolen

Aurora police detain Black family after mistaking their vehicle as stolen
Aug 03, 2020

https://www.tedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/aurora-police-detain-black-family-after-mistaking-their-vehicle-as-stolen
AURORA, Colo. — Police detained and handcuffed a Black mother and several children after mistaking their SUV for a stolen motorcycle from another state.

It happened in the parking lot of a shopping center off of Buckley Road and E. Iliff Avenue Sunday morning.

“Why are you now placing these children on the ground face into the concrete? It's hot! In front of all of us? Screaming at them. They are telling you they are hurt,” witness Jenni Wurtz said.

Wurtz recorded the incident along with several other witnesses.
She says a police car slowly pulled behind the family. The officer drew their weapon on the family and ordered them out of the car. Several of the children were handcuffed.

“That makes me very mad, because I am not anti-police. I’m anti what happened yesterday, and that was ridiculous,” Wurtz said.

The car the family was driving was not stolen. Police used a license plate scanner to gather information on vehicles in the area. They should have been looking for a motorcycle with the same plate from another state.


Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson said she blames the license plate reader but could not explain why the dozens of officers who responded did not confirm the vehicle description.

“I totally understand that anger, and don’t want to diminish that anger, but I will say it wasn’t a profiling incident. It was a hit that came through the system, and they have a picture of the vehicle the officers saw,” Wilson said, defending her officers actions.
I know I know, big shocker here, cops terrorize an innocent black family, yet again. Incompetence, really??!! Not only different states registered for plate number but completely different kind of vehicle, this is total fucking non-sense, should never have happened at all.

I bet, I just bet that the new Chief Wilson will be labeled a 'liberal snowflake', a 'commie' in disguise right? by the conservaturds out there. With 'liberals' like these especially when you are black who needs conservaturds? Especially since I think she took action to fire 3 police officers who used a social media photo to mock a makeshift memorial for Elijah McClain who was murdered for no justification last year by Aurora PD.

Would this have ever happened to a white family, a mom and her 4 daughters? We all know the answer to that...
After officers realized the mistake, the family was uncuffed but more officers continued to arrive. Video shows over a dozen officers standing around the traumatized family.

“I do not think a stolen vehicle is worth traumatizing the lives of children. On top of that, I was 20-feet away with a drawn gun. They didn’t even tell me to move, secure the scene. They didn’t do anything,” Wurtz said.
Wurtz filed a complaint with internal affairs. She believes the police department's policy needs to change.

By Monday evening, an internal investigation was underway following the incident, according to Wilson.

"We first want to offer our apologies to the family involved in the traumatic incident involving a police stop of their vehicle yesterday.

"We have been training our officers that when they contact a suspected stolen car, they should do what is called a high-risk stop. This involves drawing their weapons and ordering all occupants to exit the car and lie prone on the ground. But we must allow our officers to have discretion and to deviate from this process when different scenarios present themselves. I have already directed my team to look at new practices and training,"
Always the bullshit about we need more training blah blah blah or diversity/sensitivity training, none of that will ever stop all the racist or fascist policing, only true punishment and accountability for this action and behavior, but that's what this system was set up to do so it won't change with WHO's in charge now, and then they continually ply their bullshit fake 'liberal' progressive style diversity 'inclusive' language and tactics to pacify black and brown communities while no real change takes place.

Personally I think that is the purpose of this 100% (or at least 99% fake IMO) fake 'liberal' 'anti-racist' media industry, help maintain the system as is, very very deceptive, this is the hidden hand of the consurvaturd so-called far right IMSO. Same thing with the deep state (and other independent acting groups) infiltraiting the justice movement(s) protests which is mainly centered around the Black Lives Matter movement(s), they are there to sabotage and discredit these movements and at the same time create more and more justification (in MSM and alternative media) for ever increased racist and fascist policing and more and more public support there of. Sooner or later this will be or at least it can be used to crack down much harder on anti-covid-19 dissent, although it could be more racistly enforced upon black and brown people too and much less upon white people that is always a possibility- but I am not saying white people won't get cracked down upon for dissenting against the 'covid' official narrative they are to some degree already just like they are on everyone, but I still feel the "contact tracing/quarantining" if it comes about will definitely target black and brown people much more that is my strong opinion.

The new Chief Wilson claims that,
We have been training our officers that when they contact a suspected stolen car, they should do what is called a high-risk stop. This involves drawing their weapons and ordering all occupants to exit the car and lie prone on the ground. But we must allow our officers to have discretion and to deviate from this process when different scenarios present themselves. I have already directed my team to look at new practices and training," Wilson said in a prepared statement.
If so, that officers don't have discretion to use less force if unwarranted for a quote "high-risk stop"?, then is the statement given to this news station the day before by Aurora PD then not accurate? I highly doubt it..

Pause video @ ~2:40,
"There is not a written policy regarding when/how we use this stop. Officers can use discretion based on the information they have at the time." - Aurora Police Department
It's obvious who they use the most discretion for and who they use the "high-risk stop" tactic the most for, and I mean nationwide, hell world wide really, let's get fucking real here.

Was this a case of AI fucking up the information from an motorcycle to an SUVS and the different two state plates? Come on now we know better than that, liscence plate reader probably had jack shit to do with this incident, was probably a racist "karen" who called the police on this black woman and her children, and since they were filmed and complained on, then they may have concocted the liscence plate reader mixup story. Can't prove that with certainty, but speaking of AI and facial recognition in terms of racial AI individual identification,

The Best Algorithms Struggle to Recognize Black Faces Equally
US government tests find even top-performing facial recognition systems misidentify blacks at rates five to 10 times higher than they do whites.
07.22.2019
https://www.wired.com/story/best-algorithms-struggle-recognize-black-faces-equally/
French company Idemia’s algorithms scan faces by the million. The company’s facial recognition software serves police in the US, Australia, and France. Idemia software checks the faces of some cruise ship passengers landing in the US against Customs and Border Protection records. In 2017, a top FBI official told Congress that a facial recognition system that scours 30 million mugshots using Idemia technology helps “safeguard the American people.”

But Idemia’s algorithms don’t always see all faces equally clearly. July test results from the National Institute of Standards and Technology indicated that two of Idemia’s latest algorithms were significantly more likely to mix up black women’s faces than those of white women, or black or white men.
The NIST test challenged algorithms to verify that two photos showed the same face, similar to how a border agent would check passports. At sensitivity settings where Idemia’s algorithms falsely matched different white women’s faces at a rate of one in 10,000, it falsely matched black women’s faces about once in 1,000—10 times more frequently. A one in 10,000 false match rate is often used to evaluate facial recognition systems.

Donnie Scott, who leads the US public security division at Idemia, previously known as Morpho, says the algorithms tested by NIST have not been released commercially, and that the company checks for demographic differences during product development. He says the differing results likely came from engineers pushing their technology to get the best overall accuracy on NIST’s closely watched tests. “There are physical differences in people and the algorithms are going to improve on different people at different rates,” he says.

Computer vision algorithms have never been so good at distinguishing human faces. NIST said last year that the best algorithms got 25 times better at finding a person in a large database between 2010 and 2018, and miss a true match just 0.2 percent of the time. That’s helped drive widespread use in government, commerce, and gadgets like the iPhone.

But NIST’s tests and other studies repeatedly have found that the algorithms have a harder time recognizing people with darker skin. The agency’s July report covered tests on code from more than 50 companies. Many top performers in that report show similar performance gaps to Idemia’s 10-fold difference in error rate for black and white women. NIST has published results of demographic tests of facial recognition algorithms since early 2017. It also has consistently found that they perform less well for women than men, an effect believed to be driven at least in part by the use of makeup.

“White males ... is the demographic that usually gives the lowest FMR,” or false match rate, the report states. “Black females ... is the demographic that usually gives the highest FMR.” NIST plans a detailed report this fall on how the technology works on different demographic groups.
NIST’s studies are considered the gold standard for evaluating facial recognition algorithms. Companies that do well use the results for marketing. Chinese and Russian companies have tended to dominate the rankings for overall accuracy, and tout their NIST results to win business at home. Idemia issued a press release in March boasting that it performed better than competitors for US federal contracts
business_facial-recognition_graphs.jpg

Many facial recognition algorithms are more likely to mix up black faces than white faces. Each chart represents a different algorithm tested by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Those with a solid red line uppermost incorrectly match black women's faces more than other groups.
NIST
I've read it was pretty bad, but 5 to 10 times worse for black people, that is fucked up. White males have the least false mismatches, lucky me in that category I suppose, if they can't make it equal this bullshit shouldn't be used at all. Who the hell is putting in all the data into the algorithms, alt-right kkk grandwizards or what??!!

I have seen stories of white men being misidentified by police and being arrested even beaten but not falsely convicted but probably that's happened too but on a very small scale compared to black men especially.
The Department of Homeland Security has also found that darker skin challenges commercial facial recognition. In February, DHS staff published results from testing 11 commercial systems designed to check a person’s identity, as at an airport security checkpoint. Test subjects had their skin pigment measured. The systems that were tested generally took longer to process people with darker skin and were less accurate at identifying them—although some vendors performed better than others. The agency’s internal privacy watchdog has said DHS should publicly report the performance of its deployed facial recognition systems, like those in trials at airports, on different racial and ethnic groups.

The government reports echo critical 2018 studies from ACLU and MIT researchers openly wary of the technology. They reported algorithms from Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM were less accurate on darker skin.

Those findings have stoked a growing national debate about the proper, and improper, uses of facial recognition. Some civil liberties advocates, lawmakers, and policy experts want government use of the technology to be restricted or banned, as it was recently in San Francisco and two other cities. Their concerns include privacy risks, the balance of power between citizens and the state—and racial disparities in results. Even if facial recognition worked equally well for all faces, there would still be reasons to restrict the technology, some critics say.

Despite the swelling debate, facial recognition is already embedded in many federal, state, and local government agencies, and it’s spreading. The US government uses facial recognition for tasks like border checks and finding undocumented immigrants.

Earlier this year, the Los Angeles Police Department responded to a home invasion that escalated into a fatal shooting. One suspect was arrested but another escaped. Detectives identified the fugitive by using an online photo to search through a mugshot facial recognition system maintained by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office.

Lieutenant Derek Sabatini of the Sheriff’s Office says the case shows the value of the system, which is used by more than 50 county agencies and searches a database of more than 12 million mugshots. Detectives might not have found the suspect as quickly without facial recognition, Sabatini says. “Who knows how long it would have taken, and maybe that guy would not have been there to scoop up,” he says.

The LA County system was built around a face-matching algorithm from Cognitec, a German company that, like Idemia, supplies facial recognition to governments around the world. As with Idemia, NIST testing of Cognitec’s algorithms’ shows they can be less accurate for women and people of color. At sensitivity thresholds that resulted in white women being falsely matched once in 10,000, two Cognitec algorithms NIST tested were about five times as likely to misidentify black women.

Thorsten Thies, Cognitec’s director of algorithm development, acknowledged the difference but says it is hard to explain. One factor could be that it is “harder to take a good picture of a person with dark skin than it is for a white person,” he says.

Sabatini dismisses concerns that—whatever the underlying cause—skewed algorithms could lead to racial disparities in policing. Officers check suggested matches carefully and seek corroborating evidence before taking action, he says. “We’ve been using it here since 2009 and haven’t had any issues: no lawsuits, no cases, no complaints,” he says.

Concerns about the intersection of facial recognition and race are not new. In 2012, the FBI’s top facial recognition expert coauthored a research paper that found commercial facial recognition systems were less accurate for black people and women. Georgetown researchers warned of the problem in an influential 2016 report that said the FBI can search the faces of roughly half the US population.

The issue has gained a fresh audience as facial recognition has become more common, and policy experts and makers more interested in the limitations of technology. The work of MIT researcher and activist Joy Buolamwini has been particularly influential.

Early in 2018 Buolamwini and fellow AI researcher Timnit Gebru showed that Microsoft and IBM services that try to detect the gender of faces in photos were near perfect for men with pale skin but failed more than 20 percent of the time on women with dark skin; a subsequent study found similar patterns for an Amazon service. The studies didn’t test algorithms that attempt to identify people—something Amazon called “misleading” in an aggressive blog post.

Buolamwini was a star witness at a May hearing of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, where lawmakers showed bipartisan interest in regulating facial recognition. Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Maryland) said racial disparities in test results heightened his concern at how police had used facial recognition during 2015 protests in Baltimore over the death in police custody of Freddie Gray, a black man. Later, Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) declared that Congress needs to “do something” about government use of the technology. “[If] a facial recognition system makes mistakes and those mistakes disproportionately affect African Americans and persons of color, [it] appears to me to be a direct violation of Americans’ First Amendment and Fourth Amendment liberties,” he said.

Why facial recognition systems perform differently for darker skin tones is unclear. Buolamwini told Congress that many datasets used by companies to test or train facial analysis systems are not properly representative. The easiest place to gather huge collections of faces is from the web, where content skews white, male, and western. Three face-image collections most widely cited in academic studies are 81 percent or more people with lighter skin, according to an IBM review.

Patrick Grother, a widely respected figure in facial recognition who leads NIST’s testing, says there may be other causes for lower accuracy on darker skin. One is photo quality. Photographic technology and techniques have been optimized for lighter skin from the beginnings of color film into the digital era. He also posed a more provocative hypothesis at a conference in November: that black faces are statistically more similar to one another than white faces are. “You might conjecture that human nature has got something to do with it,” he says. “Different demographic groups might have differences in the phenotypic expression of our genes.”
Michael King, an associate professor at Florida Institute of Technology who previously managed research programs for US intelligence agencies that included facial recognition, is less sure. “That’s one that I am not prepared to discuss at this point. We have just not got far enough in our research,” he says.

King’s latest results, with colleagues from FIT and University of Notre Dame, illustrate the challenge of explaining demographic inconsistency in facial recognition algorithms and what to do about it.

Their study tested four facial recognition algorithms—two commercial and two open source—on 53,000 mugshots. Mistakes that incorrectly matched two different people were more common for black faces, but errors in which matching faces went undetected were more common for white faces. A greater proportion of the mugshots of black people didn’t meet standards for ID photos, but that alone could not explain the skewed performance.

The researchers did find they could get the algorithms to perform equally for blacks and whites—but only by using different sensitivity settings for the two groups. That’s unlikely to be practical outside the lab because asking detectives or border agents to choose a different setting for different groups of people would create its own discrimination risks, and could draw lawsuits alleging racial profiling.

While King and others carefully probe algorithms in the lab, political fights over facial recognition are moving fast. Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle have promised action to rein in the technology, citing worries about accuracy for minorities. Tuesday, Oakland became the third US city to ban its agencies from using the technology since May, following Somerville, Massachusetts, and San Francisco.

King says that the science of figuring out how to make algorithms work the same on all faces will continue at its own pace. “Having these systems work equally well for different demographics or even understanding whether or why this might be possible is really a long term goal,” he says.

Startup company in Munich (Germany?) is developing an AI social distancing monitoring "queuing" system (cameras and various sensors too?) for use in public places particularly transit areas, train stations, airports etc. or malls or large buildings gov. or hospitals corporate buildings et al.

I recommend watching ~6:47 in thru ~9:55 in, rest of video is complete waste of time IMO, this portion covers the "queuing" system.

screen captures at- ~8:30, queuing/monitoring (big brother) in corporate office buildings presumably, notice the red circles representing sheople who have committed the 'heinous' violation of the minimum 6 feet distancing rule for at least a tad longer than allowed (whatever that time-frame is, 30 seconds or less? who knows),

9:35, train station (or airport perhaps) one way directioning monitoring animation

I'm sure there are a multitude of these types of firms and companies working on (have been for years probably) these kinds of systems. I wonder how many of them are actually already in place? being used now? And it sure seems like only a matter of time before the social distancing/mask gestapo get's rolled out to enforce this kind of totalitarianism on the masses; will probably be rolled out in phases determined by 'covid' 'case' 'hotspots' or social unrest/protesting of all kinds etc. 1984 on steroids. And as always the inevitable "selective interpretation and selective enforcement" applies as to where and who the enforcement is enacted upon the most of course.


A few examples of mask gestapo being rolled out in Australia,

AUSTRALIAN karen gets ARRESTED after not wearing a mask a store
Jul 26, 2020

The level of force and malice in the first example is definitely way higher than the second video; first woman is treated almost like they would treat black/brown (the n-w...s in white 'supremist' speech) people but at least neither one got shot or tased (I don't think) or killed which seems good for them
icon_smile.gif
. Woman in first video supposedly has a medical exemption for masks but police ignored that I guess? If a cop is hell bent on an arrest they don't let things like constitutional rights or whether a real violation even took place stop them anyways.

Seems to me we have yet to see this kind of enforcement being ramped up on a wide scale everywhere, as yet, and as the average population is not used to being treated like racial profiling victims are; that could well change if this kind of gestapo truly adopts a "colorblind" approach to the mask/social distancing enforcement. Somehow I doubt that will happen but I could be wrong but I suspect this will be test marketed in various places before becoming more widespread adopted to see how many covidiots out there (particularly white be they 'libtard' or "consurvaturd") will allow this absurd over reach of police state power without much resistance.

May need to talk about this here, and this connection to the transhuman/AI agenda, presenting it straight from the source first,

The Fourth Industrial Revolution: what it means, how to respond
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016...-revolution-what-it-means-and-how-to-respond/


TheFourth Industrial Revolution | Full Version (Subtitled)
Apr 13, 2016


They seem to be selling us a very attractive way to "respond" to what they say is an inevitable takeover of AI/transhumanism, for the betterment of "all", should we be skeptical of that? well of course I am and my postings here couldn't hide that obviously.


Here is a sort of I would say a probable "progressive" rebuttal to the Davos presentation of the 4th Industrial Revolution, quite interesting.

Utopia or Dystopia
where past meets future
The one percent discovers transhumanism: Davos 2016

https://utopiaordystopia.com/2016/01/31/the-one-percent-discovers-transhumanism-davos-2016/

The most interesting portion of article to me,
The theme of this year’s WEF was what Klaus Schwab calls The Fourth Industrial Revolution a period of deeply transformative change, which Schwab believes we are merely at the beginning of. The three revolutions which preceded the current one were the first industrial revolution which occurred between 1760 and 1840 and brought us the stream engine and railroads. The second industrial revolution in the late 19th and early 20th centuries brought us mass production and electricity. The third computer or digital revolution brought us mainframes, personal computers, the Internet, and mobile technologies, and began in the 1960’s.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution whose beginning all of us are lucky enough to see includes artificial intelligence and machine learning, the “Internet of things” and it’s ubiquitous sensors, along with big data. In addition to these technologies that grow directly out of Moore’s Law, the Fourth Industrial Revolution includes rapid advances in the biological sciences that portend everything from enormous gains in human longevity to “designer babies”. Here we find our rapidly increasing knowledge of the human brain, the new neuroscience, that will likely upend not only our treatment of mental and neurodegenerative diseases such as alzheimer’s but include areas from criminal justice to advertising.




If you have had any relationship to, or even knowledge of, transhumanism over the past generation or so then all of this should be very familiar to you. Yet to the extent that the kinds of people who attend or follow Davos have an outsized impact on the shape of our world, how they understand these transhumanist issues, and how they come to feel such issues should be responded to, might be a better indication of the near term future of transhumanism as anything that has occurred on the level of us poor plebs.
So what was the 1 percent’s take on the fourth industrial revolution? Below is a rundown of some of the most interesting sessions.


One session titled “The Transformation of Tomorrow” managed to capture what I think are some of the contradictions of those who in some respects feel themselves responsible for the governance of the world. Two of panel members were Sheryl Sandberg COO of Facebook, and the much lesser known president of Rwanda Paul Kagame. That pairing itself is kind of mind bending. Kagame has been a darling of technocrats for his successful governance of Rwanda. He is also a repressive autocrat who has been accused of multiple human rights abuses and to the dismay of the Obama administration managed to secure through a referendum his rule of Rwanda into the 2030s.

Kagame did not have much to say other than that Rwanda would be a friendly place for Western countries wishing to export the Fourth Industrial Revolution. For her part Sandberg was faced with questions that have emerged as it has become increasingly clear that social media has proven to be a tool for both good and ill as groups like Daesh have proven masterful users of the connectivity brought by the democratization of media. Not only that, but the kinds of filter bubbles offered by this media landscape have often been found to be inimical to public discourse and a shared search for Truth.


Lastly, there was a revealing panel on neuroscience and the law entitled “What if your brain confesses?” panelists there argued that Neuroscience is being increasing used and misused by criminal defense. Only in very few cases – such as those that result from tumors- can we draw a clear line between underlying neurological structure and specific behavior.
We can currently “read minds” in limited domains but our methods lack the kinds of precision and depth that would be necessary for standards questions of guilt and innocence. Eventually we should get there, but getting information in, as in Matrix kung-fu style uploading, will prove much harder than getting it out. We’re also getting much better at decoding thoughts from behavior- dark opportunities for marketing and other manipulation. Yet we could also be able to use this more granular knowledge of human psychology to structure judicial procedures to be much more free from human cognitive biases.

The fact that elites have begun to seriously discuss these issues is extremely important, but letting them take ownership of the response to these transformations would surely be a mistake. For just like any elite they are largely blinded to opportunities for the new by their desire to preserve the status quo despite how much the revolutionary the changes we face open up opportunities for a world much different and better than our own.


Here is a 5 part series of videos I recently ran across, this woman has evidently researched the 4th industrial revolution quite a bit and with that the coming of "data markets" I guess it could be called (the coming "technocracy", well kind of here already really). She's a bit of conspiracy theorist too it seems, says she leans "left", I'll take her word for that for now, not sure she would agree with my brand of what that should be but I think she has studied it some significant detail.

But I really dislike all of the unnecessary and inappropriate laughter at times when the conversation turns to the grim possibilities of the new enslavement or even de-population of humanity, as though she doesn't really see herself as a potential target of this? I can laugh about that on occasion cause it's better to laugh than cry all the time at potential oncoming doom and gloom, but this woman seems to take that to much to high a level IMO, but it's the information I'm a lot more interested in, so here it is. I have yet to watch all of the 4th one yet or the 5th one.


To me it sounds a bit like a "data market", is really sensors placed on people (on or in the body, and all manner of sensors surrounding us in our living spaces), whole populations, not merely for 24/7 surveillance, but for collecting vastly huge amounts of data, for the AI computer brain engines; I suspect to "evolve" the AI towards the "singularity" the coming "consciousnesses" of this machine and future machines.


I think the 'elite' who are pushing this, may somehow be deluded that they will still be able to control all of that, for their benefit that will serve them in a future where humans will be de-populated and replaced with robots (that are all too human like in appearance and behavior) and machines: all of this data from humans about humans in every conceivable way to know us all over the planet- is way to "evolve" this "data" and transfer it to the machines/robots; to replace humans in their "elite' future idio-topia, machines they get to control how they want to, like pets that if they can program just right won't fight back or rebel, like humans do.





Ultimately I think they may see this as much easier to achieve much quicker than the transhumanist leap- becoming human-2.0, their absurd fucking idio-topia. With all lower caste/class humans eliminated and if they can fully control the created robot humanoid class and machines then they would be free to pursue that such a twisted goal, however long it would take them.

Some videos on robot farming, this is the future they want to create for agriculture, similar to what is depicted in the movie "I Am Mother" completely machine and robot automated agriculture (I mentioned this movie in Post #25). I have seen evidence of planning intent of this kind, even where I work at, I have some pictures of corporate advertising murals (somewhat similar to what I'm about to present) on a wall in one of the greenhouse buildings I sometimes go to pick up waste, but not going to post those pics for interests of not jeopardizing my employment of course.

This really looks cool...I heard a lot of buzz words like sustainable, technology, algorithms, tetrabytes of data, etc. Said nothing about what the images are actually used for or anything about the actual production of crops except the purpose: to make growing crops possible under extreme conditions. In the future maybe some insight into how this actually helps farmers grow better crops would be interesting.(Seed selection? Description of water quantities? Types of fertilizer?)

I am a plant geneticist and this is actually a lot more powerful than that. Basically if you have the sequence of the DNA of each plant and how they look (the scientific term if phenotype), you can start to predict how certain genes could affect the phenotype of the plants. Imagine looking at a bunch of different plants that all survive drought really well, you read their genomes and discover that they all share a particular mutation in a specific gene. You canstudy that gene and insert the mutation in other plants to fortify them. This can be done by direct editing (more precise and faster, but still feared by most people) or by performing numerous specific crosses (very expensive and time consuming) . This kind of study is called GWAS (Genome Wide Association Study).

Waned to see the robotic planting demonstration, I know from working at a Monsanto seed warehouse for a temp job 5 years ago that some automation in seed planting machinery has been in use for probably well over a decade now, but don't know if fully automated robotic machinery is in serious use as of yet, but with near limitless money and resources being invested in automation these days hard to predict exactly how soon such capabilities are actually around the corner, if indeed they are.

This video shows a pretty good detailed look at demonstrating the machine planting (sowing) seeds in a field, and weeding the soil and that it can do so without harming already growing seedlings (as long as the machine stays perfectly straight in alignment). Robot harvesters like the sowing and weeding machine also exist perhaps all 3 jobs in one robotic farming machine as well. Impressive looking machine with solar power and batteries that can be kept charged by the solar panels. Relatively expensive machine though, ~80,000 Swiss francs.

No shit motherfucker. Why don't you corporate executives get your asses out there in the greenhouses and fields and save the billions upon billions of currency expended on this research/investment?

Imagine, robot are doing farming like you do, or perhaps doing technology like vertical farming, that would create unlimited food supplies, and food prices will become cheaper, or free. What will happen to people once food become free? I am ok with unemployed and homeless, as long as my stomach full.
CEO Alexander admits to the huge unsustainable power/electricity cost of indoor farming later in the video, so the plan is robotic farming like this in greenhouses have to assume, and obviously larger outdoor robotic automation ventures like the FarmdroidFD20.



An intersting but quite alarming article from DARPA regarding what I think is really attempting to create nano-machines here. What I suspect, and have to dig for more articles, but these are not really "artificial viruses" here, I think they are sort of biologically based nano(to micro) size electronics (like parts, diodes, transistors, crystals {crystalline} microchips and receivers and transmitters etc. etc.); I think they probably have protein sub-unit structures not found naturally (in nature) that likely have metals (ions and/or other parts of the protein) scaffolding and antennae like structure that is more machine like say than a chlorophyll antennae with an Fe++ ion at it's core.

Biggest Little Self-Assembling Protein Nanostructures Created
DARPA-supported team designs protein cages that build themselves from scratch inside living cells and could serve as delivery vehicles for a range of novel therapies

A research team at the University of Washington has harnessed complex computational methods to design customized proteins that can self-assemble into 120-subunit “icosahedral” structures inside living cells—the biggest, self-booting, intracellular protein nanocages ever made. The breakthrough offers a potential solution to a pressing scientific challenge: how to safely and efficiently deliver to cells new and emerging biomedical treatments such as DNA vaccines and therapeutic interfering particles.

The work, funded by DARPA in a lead-up to the new INTERfering and Co-Evolving Prevention and Therapy (INTERCEPT) program, “opens the door to a new generation of genetically programmable protein-based molecular machines,” the researchers report in this week’s issue of the journal Science. The research paper is available here: http://science.sciencemag.org/content/353/6297/389

Anyone familiar with the role-playing games Dungeons and Dragons and Munchkin need only picture the 20-sided die to understand what an organic, icosahedral cargo container looks like—symmetrical, triangle-shaped panels folded evenly on each side. Unlike a die that can be held in your hand, however, these creations are the size of small viruses and are designed to interact with cells in the same way viruses might—that is, by delivering their caged contents into a cell, albeit in this case with positive, customizable outcomes. Also, whereas dice are produced in molds on a factory assembly line, these nanocages build themselves inside cells, following with atomic precision instructions written in genetic code.

Nature provides many examples of self- and co-assembling protein-based molecular structures like icosahedral protein cages. They serve as scaffolds, enzymes, and compartments for biochemical reactions in the body, and they form virus capsids—the geodesic-like protein enclosures that protect viral genomes from the human body’s immune system and facilitate their entry into cells.

“Viruses offer researchers many lessons on ways to access the body and use the body’s resources for their own purposes. DARPA is studying how to apply those tricks to the challenge of overcoming infectious disease,” said Jim Gimlett, the DARPA program manager overseeing the University of Washington effort and the INTERCEPT program. Among other goals, that program seeks to deliver into cells protein snippets that can co-evolve with viruses and provide ongoing immune protection even as viruses mutate and change.

Viruses consist of two main parts: genetic material (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein shell. To reproduce, a virus first attaches itself to a cell within a host organism. This occurs when a virion protein on the virus binds to a complementary molecule on the surface of the cell. The virus then enters the cell and releases its genetic material inside. These viral genes hijack the cell’s biological machinery, forcing the cell to generate new copies of the viral genome and shell proteins. While still inside the host cell, those freshly minted viral genomes and protein shells assemble into new viruses, which eventually burst from the cell and disperse to infect others.

DARPA’s focus is on the protein shells. If scientists could design customized shells and program them to embrace specific payloads and replicate within the body, they could open new pathways for personalized medicines and therapies. However, the universe of proteins is large, and the combinations of ways in which those proteins can—based on electromagnetic charges and other factors—link to one another and spontaneously fold within three-dimensional space is devilishly complex.

When designing a protein assembly process, the nature of the selected proteins and how they fold will determine if that creation can bind to particular cell receptors and whether it can accommodate a desired cargo such as small molecules, antibodies, nucleic acids, polymers, or other proteins. “Protein folding can be compared to a 3-D puzzle with thousands of pieces and an astronomical number of possible solutions, but only one of those solutions might be right for a particular need,” Gimlett said.

The University of Washington’s latest research used combinatorial computations to consider hundreds of thousands of possible protein combinations and then characterize in detail a few hundred of those designs. Then the team inserted genes encoding the desired protein sequences into E. coli bacteria to test how the instructions would be carried out within living cells. Ten of the designs resulted in assemblies within those bacteria similar to the intended three-dimensional configurations. In fact, tests conducted using small-angle X-ray scattering and negative-stain electron microscopy revealed that these cage-like structures had self-assembled with near-perfect, atomic-scale precision.

Icosahedra possess the highest possible symmetry of any polyhedron in three-dimensional space, and thus generate the maximum enclosed volume for packaging cargo among symmetric assemblies of polymers. The accurate self-assembly of a 120-subunit icosahedral protein cage is a five-fold improvement over what had been, until recently, the previous record for such a structure: a 24-subunit, two-component tetrahedron. Just last month, the Seattle team announced that it had broken that record by designing a hyperstable, self-assembling 60-subunit icosahedron, research that was featured in the journal Nature. In their latest paper, the researchers note that the 120-subunit assembly either hasn’t evolved in nature or has yet to be discovered.

“This construct’s generous capacity, and the accuracy with which it builds itself, bode well for the field of biomolecular engineering,” Gimlett said. “I look forward to seeing some of the innovative applications that will surely emerge with the arrival of this robust new platform.”

Anybody else see the similarities there? Unmistakable to me. There is already plenty of "viral vectors" (created from) natural viruses with which they deliver gmo genes in transfection in cells in genetic engineering and in cellular therapies etc. or even could be used to deliver vaccines possibly; so realistically I don't think it makes sense to believe that they need more "viral cage vectors" that they need to create more out of “icosahedral” structures (however many sub-units)- I believe these are being created for the purpose of nano-machine technology and not "viral vectoring".

Now the mRNA vaccines coming out may indeed have ways of implanting mRNA genetic material through vaccines and potentially altering people's genes but I feel the nano-machine application and utilization may even be more alarming than that, and I would venture to say perhaps some vaccines will incorporate both mRNA schemes as well as the “icosahedral” structure composites like these created by DARPA, assuming again we aren't being fed more "science fiction", but like I say they are spending a shitload of money resources and scientific labor on this every single day for decades now so it's foolish to think all of it is pure science fiction. And again I think the nano-machine icosahedrals could very well create RFID tracking (data receiving and transmitting? internal interface operating system too that can be controlled from outside? "Corbett Report" mentions shit like that) capabilities like something needed for a full ID2020 cataloguing of all humans on the planet like they seem hell bent on doing with Agenda 30.

I wonder if anyone has time or is willing to read this here - EU directive ammended 23 April 2020 which regulates "medical devices" as can be seen this directive was changed not long after the official announcement of the C-virus. I wonder if this would allow eg. "nanobots" and also it looks as this was prepared before as it is quite complicated text and the "official" C emergency was not long in place at this time: It makes special reference to C19 this is already suspect imho:


Tbh I am pretty sure that "nanobots" and/or eg. Graphenoxyd which can form structures in the body could be defined as "medical devices" (?)
