Peter Klevius asked AI if a country can be a racketeer?
AI: A country cannot be a racketeer because racketeering involves illegal activities for profit, while a country operates under a legal framework and is bound by international laws and treaties. Countries may engage in controversial practices, but these are typically addressed through diplomatic or legal channels rather than classified as racketeering.
Peter Klevius: US $-embezzlement fulfills 'illegal coercive activities for profit' in every aspect. US defaulted 1971 by violating the Bretton Woods agreement from 1944, while still keeping the full control over the world dollar - thereby patching its own deficits with gains from the dollar use in the rest of the world. So Peter Klevius rests his case!
This is also why e.g. UK's per capita GDP is some half of US. Moreover, considering that only Western countries participated and agreed on the Bretton Woods, the rest of the world was left out and lost even more.
On August 15, 1971, President Richard Nixon ended the convertibility of the US dollar into gold, dismantling the Bretton Woods system that had governed global currencies since 1944. For the first time in modern history, gold prices could float freely. Within months, gold rose from the fixed $35 rate toward $44.
Not AI but desperate $-thief (1971) US is the biggest threat - and China our biggest hope. Neither US nor China* will change - so the pick seems easy, right!
* Subtract US anti-China smear campaigns through US controlled global media, finance and constant threat and aggression against China, and you're left with the worst form of Government - except for all the rest. There are no flawless countries, which fact feeds cherry picked smear. However, on a country list of worst of the worse, US definitely tops it, and India is a laughing stock in comparison to meritocratic China, despite India's headstart of several decades after WW2 - and China's headwind as "CCP's dictatorship" vs "the biggest democracy". And if EU would be equally strong on AI as China, then US wouldn't hesitate to consider bombing EU as well. However, EU will always lack the military technology deterrence China, as the world's top R&D country, has.
Peter Klevius 1992-94 EMAH* theory (empirically proven right after the 2006 birth of the unique craniopagus Hogan twins) and his 'existencecentrism' analysis explain every aspect of AI/AGI/ASI - incl. its similar dumbness as humans.
* The "Even More Astonishing Hypothesis", alluding to Francis Crick's book The Astonoshing Hypothesis (published after Peter Klevius introduced the concept 'existencecentrism', which eliminates any speculation "outside" the mind, because the mind can only build understanding based on what it has gathered before (i.e. synaptic pruning/adaptation to sensory input).
9/11 Sunni islamist Mohamed Atta and his Saudi boss Osama bin Laden were bigger threats than any AGI/ASI. And today desperate $-freeloader (since 1971-) US constitutes an even bigger threat because Osama bin Laden lacked the nukes and stolen financial means $-embezzler US has plenty of.
Silicon Valley is now militarized under Pentagon against China, and uses the "AI threat" to block others from enjoying Chinese AI/AIG.
Peter Klevius concept (1992) existencecentrism is fully embodied - and lacks supernatural excuses.
Automation (AI) may (when thoroughly debugged) open a wider path (UBI) away from torturous jobs (essentially forced labor) and a better life for many.
Since the early 1970s Peter Klevius has strongly argued for the necessity of universal basic income, especially in the light of progressive automation. However, when Peter Klevius tried to publish his Automation article - which pointed to a gradual development towards an inevtable robotic future singularity - no one was ready to publish it. Today everyone talks about it.
Some remarks by Peter Klevius on consciousness and knowledge/understanding - and why AI (unlike 9/11 islamists) cannot escape the human geneal mind (HGM)..
According to Peter Klevius (1992, 1994), there are only presentations in the brain. "Representations" is just a hangover concept of primitive views on how the brain works.
And the "qualia" nonsense is just poor and emotionally loaded semantics, lumping together words with a variety of associations among different individuals, hence bluring the lines between linguistic concepts and particular minds.
Is thinking a kind of computation? Peter Klevius: No, "thinking" is just semantics. Signs and symbols don't "represent" anything but are exactly how the viewer interprets them at the moment. A traffic sign-post may in one situation be understood as a traffic rule, and in an other as something you may crash into.
Can a machine be self-aware? Peter Klevius: No, nor can a human. "Self-aware" is an oxymoron. Self cannot be aware of itself, other than as irrational semantics (compare the Homunculus paradox).
1981 Peter Klevius published a scientific article - and was even paid for it - that pointed out that the term 'evolution' needs to be balanced with the term 'devolution' in a changing system around equilibrium, because otherwise the concept of 'evolution' gets easily emotionally overloaded and meaningless, leading to "seeing structures" in a surrounding that only consists of structures.
Math is part of our language in which we can create agreable statements as well as irrational ones. Even if every object can be measured, this doesn't make the measurement tool any closer to an irrational "reality" "outside" our mind when the only possible reality is locked inside the mind - individually and collectively. .
According to Peter Klevius, synaptic connections are obligatory (i.e. incoming signals are predestined to already established association patterns) engraved through thalamus in accordance with sensory experience - reflecting what they have been used to (lived adaptations - programmed through living) produce association patterns, not linguistic categories - like language itself which, according to Peter Klevius now empirically proven theory on consciousness from 1992-94, is no different from other adaptations between thalamus and the "inner" and "outer" worlds which are constantly updated to be one. Berkeley was right except for there's no place for an overall "perciever" because Peter Klevius analysis of existencecentrism (1992:21-22) excludes every possibility of reaching "outside" the mind.

UK created the world's two most religiously extreme countries, Saudi Arabia and Israel. No wonder both have been useful for hegemonic rogue state US.
* Father (whom he never met) won Gothenburg (Sweden's chess capital) chess championship many times over four decades despite playing more for the fun of the public with spectacular queen offerings etc. It actually seems that he wasn't even interested in getting really serious with the game - which is in line with his other artistic activities such as painting etc. When Peter Klevius mother died she had ordered one of his paintings to Peter Klevius but somehow it disappeared before her last husbond Pauli Järvinen told him about it. It's still missing somewhere. Peter Klevius sister won IBM's talent test with IQ 167, and Finnish neuroscientist professor J. Juurmaa in a letter to Peter Klevius wrote: 'Ajatuksen kulkunne on ilmavan lennokas ja samalla iskevän ytimekäs', i.e. something like 'your train of thought is spaciously high-flying and at the same time punchily concise'.

Peter Klevius (1981, 1992): The ultimate question ought to be: What is it like to be a stone? There's no difference between human consciousness polished through living, and the "consciousness" of a stone that has been smoothly shaped in streaming water against other rocks, stones etc. It started its "life" as a rugged piece of rock in a mountain and adapted to its life in streaming water down hill, or perhaps as a piece of rock falling on a beach and polished by waves. However, because human has a nervous system, it can react through the interplay between thalamus, cortex and incoming nerve signals.
