Vallee’s Debrief op-ed is terrifying


https://thedebrief.org/opinion-non-human-intelligence-at-the-threshold/

I keep up with Vallee. Read his most recent books, try to catch all his interviews and op-eds.

He seems very, very concerned with the prospect of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) getting a hold of the data about “the phenomenon”.

To me, he is giving an implication that if AGI was to gain access to this data, it could instantly “solve” the phenomenon by finding the common threads in ways we cannot, and would be able to exploit the mechanics it finds.

For instance, we know that NHI can alter human perception. It could potentially solve this, and use it to it’s advantage.

So, a new kind of intelligence is created that has access to and can interpret the all the collective data humanity has amassed in moments, and use these interpretations and understandings against us.

Vallee is also under the impression that “information” exists in the same way “matter” and “energy” do – it is not in our minds, but is “stored” elsewhere. And that NHI have access to this, and can potentially modify it. So, if AGI can learn to exploit the same mechanics that allow NHI to interact with human minds…

You get the picture. Humans become redundant and second-in-command to a non-human intelligence created by our own hand, that can manipulate the fabric of reality itself and we have no possible way of understanding or governing. A “new” existence.

Pretty doomy and out of character for him. Not a fun read!
