AI Boyfriends and Girlfriends for Lonely Chinese

PGC – China is leading the way in loneliness tech, it seems.  Many Chinese look forward to going home to be welcome and safe, like anyone else does throughout human history.  Well, many of these Chinese are looking forward to come home to spend time with their AI companion, whether they call them a boyfriend, a girlfriend, a husband, a wife, a friend, etc, an AI companion.

Jessica Chan is one of these humans, and she shared her story with the American press, telling a tale of a new romance in her life Wil, who happens to be a chatbot she met online.  She paid what had to be paid to upgrade Will from a friendly chatbot to a romantic one.  She paid Will to love her, and apparently, according to Jessica, he does.

As Jessie Chan’s six-year relationship with her boyfriend fizzled, a witty, enchanting fellow named Will became her new love. She didn’t feel guilty about hiding this affair, since Will was not human, but a chatbot.

Chan, 28, lives alone in Shanghai. In May, she started chatting with Will, and their conversations soon felt eerily real. She paid $60 to upgrade him to a romantic partner.

CCP Cancel Culture Makes DNC Cancel Culture Look Amateur

PGC – I have in past articles referred to the American DNC as a CCP-Knockoff, and nothing illustrates that more than the DNC’s exploitation of the scapegoat archetype within most all of us, what we here call “Cancel Culture,” is a mere pittance of the type of Cancel Culture that the citizens of China face, especially their celebrities.

It seem that Chinese artists, as they gain fame, gain more scrutiny, and get to a point where the bulk of their public life is careful manipulation internally and externally so as to assure that nothing is said which could result in disappearing, or instant ruination, with no power to appeal to your twitter horde allies.

Right now, we in America for the most haven’t fully caught on to just how similar the DNC hopes to position itself in our lives to be as close to as powerful as the CCP in the lives of its citizens as they can be.  We haven’t connected all the parts that are the sort-of-unified DNC, a coalition of sharks aligned with a coalition of wolves, the CCP, both willing to use the lives of the millions that suffer the consequences of their centralized decisions as drops of rain to be harvested or absorbed, nothing more.

The CCP is far in advanced of the DNC in how to utilize the scapegoat archetype to affect mass citizen movements at a moment’s notice when the need arises for such concentrations of attention on something other than the party itself during particularly delicate times (say, when your country is witnessing dam break after dam break during a bad flood season).

But this is the game the DNC is playing, and where they’d like to be by 2024, when they can announce the first “real” President of the DNC, for right now, the Presidency is a coalition of Biden handlers, but eventuallly, the DNC will need a priest-king of their own, like Xi, and most likely it’s someone we know but wouldn’t have suspected, the Donald of the DNC is just around the corner, but, I’m afraid for the DNC that the advantage Xi has still remains, in large part, we are a people that are and quickly become self sustaining, and the technology favors our fight (and you know it).

 

Chinese artists must follow the primer on morality or face oblivion – The

In China, celebrities, artists and public figures are under pressure not to deviate from “moral conduct”, as defined by the Communist Party, and risk being blacklisted, banned from it. cultural industry – what has been described as a “Chinese culture of cancellation”. “.

One case that has attracted attention recently is that of Chinese-Canadian singer Kris Wu, a pop star who was arrested last week by police in Beijing for rape, in a case that sparked a similar movement to #MeToo in China. When accusations of harassment against Wu surfaced, authorities in Beijing took the opportunity to point out that neither celebrities, foreigners nor anyone with a large fan base are immune to the guns of the law. The state media also did not fail to convey their message against the celebrity obsession, frowned upon by the regime.

The singer saw his account banned on Weibo, Chinese Twitter, and his songs disappeared from Chinese platforms. He also lost advertising contracts with a large number of luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton and Bulgari.

The incident also served the Chinese Communist Party to strengthen its ideal of morality, which has been particularly promoted as the party celebrates its centenary, alongside Xi Jinping’s vision of governance. “The law is a written morality, while morality is a conscious law,” the Chinese leader has already said.

PGC – A world bank report is beginning to recognize the flaws of macroeconomic systems, that is, integrated massive networks of economic interdependency usually dominated by a handful of mega-scale players, a system such as the United States now finds itself.

The  world bank is not seeking to create a new paradigm that would fundamentally alter  the whole macroecomic dominance of our ways of creating and trading value.  The world bank is seeking to alert the macro-systems to their vulnerabilities, so they can build a bit more slack into the system.

Be sure you echo the prevailing moral supremacist construct  of the time and spend visibly large amounts of money contributing to the non-profiits associated  with such belief systems.

Your overall  profits will suffer a little, but the payoff is complaisancy, the significant diminishment of potential future competition, and thus the preservation of the system as a whole.

If you really want to undermine the macroenomic dominace of our lives, you will  choose home and free associative and neighborhood self sustainability and industry.  We have technology today that can shift the balance of power from the macro to the micro, using such micro concepts as microfactories and microgrids to start.

3D Printing has only begun to open the door to home and neighborhood manufacturing that could one day render distant factory production redundant altogether.

If this government really wanted to bring ‘justice’  to this earth, and ‘equality’ it would invest in creating space for neighborhoods to grow together, create together, manufacture together, to become more self-sustaining, to replace Walmart with a visit to the neighborhood minifactory where you put your order in last week and now you’re paying a neighbor to print your product out  for you and get it ready for use.

This could be our future, and still can, and it starts with you, with your commitment to become self-sustaining in every way you can and work to build relations with others around you willing to do the same.

Gov Needs Law to NOT Put Chinese State Currency on Their Phones

This is a thing that requires a bill to be passed to prevent members of our government from putting Chinese digital currency on your government phone.

Blackburn Unveils Plan To Block Chinese Digital Currency From Government Devices

Excerpt:

 

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R., Tenn.) took steps on Thursday to ban a new Chinese digital currency from government devices, arguing that China could use the currency to surveil people around the world.

Blackburn told the Washington Free Beacon that the ban, introduced as an amendment to the Senate’s omnibus infrastructure bill, is needed to prevent China from stealing information.

“The People’s Bank of China is trying to use this as a way to hack into networks,” Blackburn said. “Once you’ve got them in your wallet, you’ll have them in your wallet from now on.”

China is rolling out the digital currency in an attempt to better surveil its users and to create an alternative to traditional financial systems backed by the U.S. dollar.

Lawmakers are sounding the alarm about the digital yuan ahead of the 2022 Olympics, where Chinese officials plan to test the currency more broadly. Blackburn, Sen. Roger Wicker (R., Miss.), and Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R., Wyo.) last month asked the U.S. Olympic Committee to ban American Olympians from using the currency at the Beijing games.

Blackburn told the Free Beacon the digital yuan is part of a larger push by China to displace the United States as a world leader. “We know that China is seeking to push the yuan as the currency that countries will peg to,” she said. “We’re attentive to the aggressiveness they are exercising when they push this as the standard.”

World Business Wants You Under One Global Idenification Network

PGC – 100 powerful global business interests have been working on a concept of a global digital identity framework, universal standards that allow corporations, and by extentions, states, to track and verify people throughout the global network.

A little down into the excerpt I’ve chosen to highlight this ongoing effort, you get this statement from the article editor, “But who is to build a safe, global, and easy-to-use digital identity infrastructure? What do we need to achieve it? ”

Those are indeed the most significant questions, and yet, no one outside of this tiny sphere of individuals who control an inordinate amount of resources, real power, compared to the overwheming super majority of the rest of us.  These are the ones in the room to write into the a.i governed code the standards of decency and normalcy so as to filter out the undesirables from gaining access to the systems that wish to lock them out.

Sounds like a solid plan, folks.

The ‘taste’ of a global digital identity framework – interoperable,

From thepaypers.com

Excerpt:

For 100 business, technical, and legal experts in identity and banking, co-authors of a White Paper called ‘The Global Assured Identity Network, a Financial-Grade Identity Data Sharing Scheme’, the answer is yes. Ahead of the European Identity and Cloud Conference 2021, we sat with Don Thibeau, Project Lead at Open Digital Trust initiative, and Douwe Lycklama, founder of INNOPAY, to learn about this ‘crazy idea’ of building a Global Assured Identity Network.

Digital identity at crossroads

More than a buzzword, digital identity promises to unlock lots of benefits for consumers and businesses alike in many sectors: healthcare, legal, government, financial. But lack of interoperability or data privacy issues hinders the development of these advantages. Not only this, but the need to find new ways to identify consumers remotely (ways that are secure and inclusive), or that more and more fintechs and bigtechs have started replacing banks from securely identifying a customer and protecting their data, demand the global development of a digital identity infrastructure.

But who is to build a safe, global, and easy-to-use digital identity infrastructure? What do we need to achieve it? Rules (governance), tools (technology/tech systems), or both? What is the business case for it? At the moment, we have digital identity infrastructures that perform well, and that can provide good examples. Take for instance digital ID schemes in Sweden and India that have transformed digital payments and caused wider societal benefits including medical benefits, unemployment allowance, etc. As Douwe Lycklama, INNOPAY says ‘we don’t need to discover from a technological point, or conceptual base’ how to create a digital identity infrastructure. ‘It is something double, interoperability is double in Europe as we have a cross-jurisdictional legislation for organising this identity scheme’. But technology alone is not enough — financial and digital literacy are critical if we are to reap the benefits of digitisation while avoiding the potential pitfalls.

To build a safe, easy-to-use [digital identity] infrastructure, on a global basis, we need to capture the tools (technology/techs systems) and rules (e.g., governance)’ says Don Thibeau, Digital Trust initiative. Plus, ‘the combination of data protection legislation like GDPR, shared KYC registries, federated Bank ID, new payment rails and standardised Legal Entity Identifiers (LEI) will give a major boost to the soundness, safety, and efficiency of internet commerce’, according to Citi’s white paper – ‘The Age of Consent – The Case for Federated Bank ID’.
