Ethical Robots of War ?

Refer to: http://hardware.slashdot.org/hardware/08/01/28/1638253.shtml and http://www.cc.gatech.edu/ai/robot-lab/online-publications/formalizationv35.pdf

Do you think humans would ever implement an ethical robot ? I think it's all big talks and makes things sound nicer. The very human nature is so predictable and corrupted, easily swayed when winds of changes move. I am not being a pessimist but it's about reality. If person or something becomes and follows ethical , it's as good as not doing the unethical (killing , using lethal force ...etc.) So those who thought up about this ethical robot thing , fat hope and I think you lot knows very well how corrupted our nature are. Time to wake up sleepy heads. If there's really ethics , we wouldn't have so much trouble and bad news around these days. Those who talk big about ethics ... are pure hypocrites and fascist ... save for a very small minor and rare ones. So far , I have not seen anyone who fits into the rare group yet.

There's an old saying, when people talk about morals , it's when morals are absent. When people talk about good governing , it's when good governance is absent. I forget who said it but I think this saying is very true. When a sage comes to teach about morals , it's when people are corrupted that's why sages come to attempt to teach. If everyone is not corrupted , then where do you need to have someone to teach and rant about ? If a country is well governed , people wouldn't be bothered to talk about good governance because good governance is already there. Only when there's a lack of good governance , that's when people come out to rant about it.

Electronic Insecurities In the Modern Era

As technology grows better , even home computers can be installed with decryption programs to decrypt/hack/crack the commonly use 256 bits AES encryption which is supposedly to be an international standard encryption used by companies , groups , individuals , organizations , governments ...etc . Those who understand and have knowledge of cryptography would understand the insecurities of these supposedly strong international encryption which is suppose to protect your data. Does it really protect your data ? NO !!!

So do you think your encrypted transactions , secure webs , encrypted text , databases , applications are really safe ? NO !!!

Those who think that current encryption is safe should start to feel the dangers looming just over the horizon as home computers , laptops , mobile devices and servers are nowadays equiped with multiple core CPU , better hardware specifications , better technology ...

Usual hackers are one thing to worry. The next thing to worry is those whom you trust most with your secrets. Why ? They can easily betray you. Computers can and would and have always been betraying us by 'accidentally' leaking our vital data out in many forms.

Governments around the world these days are outrightly denying us of our basic rights of privacy by sniffing our data we sent across the internet. In the name of war against terrorism, they implement such methods...which we have very little idea of their real intentions. Companies , groups and organizations do not usually keep their promises of safe keeping our personal data from others which we give them during our surveys or registrations. They always have good excuses to evade if we ask them why our data have been leaked. Some companies and organizations may go to the extend of doing 'under the table' trading of our personal datas they 'promised' to keep secret in contracts to those who are willing to pay them huge sums of money.

So you think by using encrypted instant messaging , encrypted databases , safe and secure SSL , TLS data channels to surf the net and downloads and send encrypted emails or do purchases over secure websites, you are really very safe ? Do you think firewalls , proxies , SELinux , AppArmor , Anti virus , anti spyware , anti malware are secure ?

I would definitely say NO !!! You are not safe with all these encrypted or so called 'secure' features. There is always ways to break it. Huge agencies and organizations have the money, resources , man power , brains ... all at their disposal to crack and break every single encryption there is today and in the future if they really start to become serious ...or should I say ..many have already started to do so ...

Do you really trust the applications you are running or you downloaded and installed in your computer ? Do you trust your Operating System would not betray your data to someone ?

NO !!!

So some of you may think I am crazy and paranoid ... but it's always better to be safe than sorry when real disaster strikes. So some of you might ask, if the world is really insecure, then what now ? Well this is how the world work. As long as there is us , humans , and as long as we become more powerful , we become more corrupted by power and become more power hungry. Yes , the ugly side of human nature. It's disgusting isn't it ?

So eventually and finally, there's NO SUCH THINGS AS SECRETS BECAUSE ALL SECRETS CAN AND WOULD BE KNOWN !!! Even the military grade encryptions are vulnerable because sooner or later , someone would crack it. Well, we have to live with it in an era where our secrets cannot be kept in a machine or on paper and neither in our minds.

Welcome to the INSECURE WORLD...

My theory on codes of games...

I was having some free time so I decided to play Starcraft's multi player Original edition with the Top vs Bottom 4 vs 4 mode. I took a protoss as usual and one of my favourite race and the others are computers. While I was playing , I noticed that the computer codes were rather more bias to the opposition than to the players team. How do I know the codes are bias ? Because I am a programmer with some experience in writing programs so I made an observation on many rounds and I came up with the theory that codes are written for bias one sidedness. My theory was true because everytime me or my allies attack an enemy's base the nearest enemy's forces , and even as many enemy forces if possible with the local defending forces would swarm like ants and bees being disturbed to fight to their death trying to repel the attackers and they come in swarms. When my allies or me get attacked , we do help each other but not to the extend of like the enemies , generously swarming the attackers for you. You have to defend on your own most of the time and help arrives in a handful when you are about to die out. By then, it's too late to repel the invaders. Maybe my allies are not sentient or smart enough to react and are rather stupid entities but the frequent calculated and sentient like reaction of the enemies makes it even far more suspicious that the makers may have created it in that way .... hmmm.....

Anyway, I am just providing information and my theory, not creating a hate post. I would still continue to enjoy playing Starcraft anyway.

I noticed that I have to bend down to look at the screen when playing games and it causes my back of the neck and shoulder muscles (because my hands are resting on the tables), to ache. So those who are going to play games for a little more than 30 minutes, just pause it , do some stretching and basic exercises , walk around , look at other stuff like trees and plants for 10 to 15 minutes before getting back. Drink some water to hydrate yourself too .This would help to maintain your health.

Sensitive Pawns

Human sensitives and even normal humans can fall prey to the schemes and plans of entities who seek to manipulate world events or checking out how humans and others react to certain situations they wish to create.

An example is that some sensitives or someone may come into interaction with entities who claim they are so and so and that they are here to help or do something 'nice' or appear beneficial to people but you may not know if this entity is really who it claims to be or what's the true intend of the entity. This happens to anyone and can happen to everyone. No matter you are practising Dark Arts, White Magick , Grey Magick , Chaos Magick ... Ceremonial Magick ... any kind of energy or spiritual related or even non-spiritual related stuff... the entities can and would try to approach you. They may spoof identities , manifest in forms and signs to convince.

To the entity, the person who begins to accepts and listen to them are now the entities pawns whether they want to influence world events indirectly by these individuals or even groups or maybe they just want to check out and test and experiment on humans or they just want companion... there are many reasons. Some of these individuals even create their own sect or religion after being 'inspired' by these entities.

People without enough understanding and knowing of the nature of entities and of the True Nature of all things would easily fall prey to the whims of these entities. Maybe these entities truely wanted to help ? Who knows what are their aims.

I am not saying that these entities are evil because we cannot make a sweeping statement and since to entities of medium to high plane of level , the concept of Good or Evil doesn't exist because they understand the nature of all things and thus they are beyond the reach of duality. In truth , anything in the realm of duality is an illusion so Good and Evil is an illusion made by our minds and to make our behaviours predictable and controllable.

There are many entities and each is unique. Each entity have the capacity to influence humans at whims and can spoof identities very well. We have to sense the essence of their intend and be careful. Normal methods of divination and probing entities do not work on entities because entities would have already known what you want to divine and probe and change the results far before you can even set to find the answer.

Not all entities are as they seem and humans would continually become the pawns of entities as long as humans do not evolve and understand and know the True Nature of all things without dogma and pre-conceived notions.
