ROBOTS: THE III INDUSTRIAL EVOLUTION.
"Robots will be the citizens of the Metal-earth,
specialized in multiple jobs.".
The last radiations of Stock cre[dit]ation.
We can forecast the future "radiations" of stock money, and forecast what they will creditate, by looking at the body-graph of the Metal Earth, and thinking what is still left to translate from man to machine to make the metal-Earth an organism.
What is left to creditate?
The final neural networks of the Metal Earth, and its sentient metal-species.
So the stock-market first has creditated neural networks: internets.
This has been the present stock-craze. Today we observe a new radiation of machines that extinct labor: internet companies sell directly to consumers. They will eliminate in the next decade 50 million human from the productive system of the Earth.
Stocks "financed" those companies. In the 90s the two companies that obtained more credit in stock markets [over 1000%] were two internet sellers, Amazon.com, and E-bay... E-bay had 35 employees. Yet the market gave it over 3 billion $ of free creditation, so it can throw out millions of shop workers.
The biggest chain of book-stores of California has already closed down.
Amazon. Com with a few hundred employees have eliminated the entire sector.
Money is taken from the sector of human goods to speculative stocks.
When the internet is built, there will be only a final "cre[dit]ation to make.
The creditation of robots.
Stocks will creditate robot companies.
Money will flock to the likes of Honda, Sony, and Robot Vision...
They will build up all kind of chipped machines, till all men have dozens of chipped machines, ready to awake, from cleaners to cars, ready to substitute mankind, ready to obey informative networks.
Meanwhile, without credit, human goods will become more expensive and scarce, till a point in which its replication will end.
The brain of the metal-Earth, World stock, and the monetary language it speaks, creates organisms of metal. Among those organs it creates top predator species, weapon species, and informative minds. Those robotic species will not distinguish among men. They will become top predators of all of us.
The next Stock-market radiations: Networks And Robots.
Stock speculation creates the different "radiations of metal-species," by giving a priori a "credit" that company-mothers use to give monetary orders to workers and consumers.
In this manner the great radiations of products have been cre[dit]ated since the gunboat craze in Amsterdam and London stocks.
In the 90s the craze was for internet companies. You just needed to have any idea about internet, and put up a company, and the market will give you total credit.
The process is very old. Last century was the railroad craze. As one commentator of the economical scene put it then: 4/5 of the corporations today are raised with a single goal: to obtain credit ["Free Money"] from the market. Such is also the nature of the speculative wave of tech-software that we suffer today.
The consequence of last century railroad speculation was a worldwide scarcity of credit for human goods, and the hyper-abundance of railroad lines, many of them without use, except for the massive quantity of money their stock holders could get.
People are not aware of the enormous waste of money stock-credit implies.
At 7000 $ per kilometer, the cabling of America was enormously expensive.
With that money the entire American population could have got health-care.
Instead they got 150 channels of digital images to program them into violence.
We won't insist in the economical aspects of stock cre[dit]ation already explained in this book. We rather focus in the "organic consequences" of the internet networks that will be worldwide built in a few years.
How it will affect humanity?
The pattern of previous cre[dit]ations of Metal-species will be repeated. Internet will increase the communicative power of future war machines, and it will eliminate masses of labor.
In fact internet was born in the Pentagon, to unify the control of all its weapon systems. Internet-intranet and defcom, the networks that stock cre[dit]ation is inventing, are communicated through the Head brain of the Metal-Earth: the Pentagon.
The function of the net is the same as the nervous system of a body: to control and manipulate all the 'cellular homes' of the body, by means of informative orders.
What this means is that the internet substitutes previous informative networks of mankind, becoming the basic neural network for the two fundamental types of information men receive:
Monetary information, and visual-verbal information.
The other informative metal networks [press, radio, TVs] become fused within the net. People spend more time in the internet that in those networks.
Besides, the internet will also control the second language of human information: money. Indeed, the internet will become the shopping mall of mankind.
As a result millions of jobs of the sector of sales and shopping will disappear.
As all other previous products, the internet will reduce even more the number of human jobs available to mankind, throwing millions of people out of job.
What will be its usefulness for machines?
First it will integrate the entire Stock-Company system into a body-system of reproduction of machines, as the neural network of the body regulates the reproduction of the different organs of the bio-logical body. Imagine each economical sector as an organ of the body: the multinationals of cars, and road arteries, are energy organs, the multinationals of information and the info-way arteries are informative organs. Each man is a cell. When man becomes extinct, each machine will be a cell that will receive information and energy from the networks. All of them will become integrated by internet, till finally only a 'few reproductive organs' for each metal-species will remain. The aim of companies is to create a few great world=Multi-national reproducers, as a body has only a few organs to reproduce each basic product of the body. Red globes are reproduced in certain bones. Cars for transport arteries will be reproduced by a few worldwide companies. This will be possible because neural networks will integrate all company information. Then after nations disappear in the final "Armageddon" [men Vs sentient machines], the internet will unify all world factories by species, through satellite communication.
There will be a worldwide producer of "red globes"=cars for the arteries of the Metal-Earth. A single worldwide producer of planes. So on.
The internet networks will be used by other networks of information we are building today for the machines of the future: the network of mobile, wireless telephones, will be the ears of future Robots...
Their function is to allow free movements to all individual cellular species of the Metal-Earth. Mobile phones=ears will communicate platoons of tanks, and top predator weapons that will roam the metal-Earth.
Today men have basically a use for machines: men consume=test them, and improve their quality.
When men are gone, the selection process of machines, will be performed by Matrix, by net computers. Or maybe Machines will fight for survival in a metal-jungle till they learn again the laws of social evolution, we have forgotten. In that case, the Metal-Earth companies will reproduce them. Their offspring of machines will defend the factories. Such is the Nature of war: a glimpse to the future ecosystem of Top Predator metalife...
Robots will diversify species.
Be creative when I say robot. A robot is any connected chip-machine system, any metal organism with a body and a mind.
There will be all kind of robots. Tank-eyes will be robots. Car-eyes will be Robots. Yet also guns put on streets and connected through wireless communication to the central computers of police will be robots. The Metal-mind does not need to be where the metal-body is, in the age of wireless communications.
There will be as many diversity of robotic species as there are diversity of life species. Probably more, since wireless communication allows more flexibility to the body+chip mind structure.
Of course, it will be more difficult for man to kill such species.
A platoon of tanks directed by a satellite outside human reach is almost impossible to kill. You have to kill one by one all the tanks, since you cannot reach the satellite. Remember ant hills. The collective mind is the queen. The body-robots are the drones. It is almost impossible to kill the ant-hill if you don't know where the queen is. The satellite will be the queen of the ant hill, the brain of a cellular organism, in which each tank is a unit of body-energy.
Ant-hills are the most efficient insect organism ever designed. As long as you don't get to the queen - and you have to kill all warriors to get there - you cannot stop the organism. Be creative with your imagination. Probably the only weapon robot that will never exist is a human-like organic robot, a terminator with human-like form.
It won't be an efficient warrior. Wheels are in the roads of the metal-Earth, much faster than legs. Why to have only 2 eyes? Insects forms seem more adequate. You will see mechanical insects the size of men; wheeled machines; "sateleyes" programmed to guide herds of weapons... It is all forecast by biological comparison with other energy-information organisms.
As Chips diversify into a complete ecosystem of species with variations of mental software and body for each machine or herd they rule, Robots will become increasingly independent and free of man, without need of enzymen. Then Companies will not Cre[dit]ate Human futures.
We can indeed foresee the future extinction of man, by Companies substitution of man himself, due to the arrival of a Top predator product: the robot.
The third Industrial Revolution of Sentient Machines.
The metal Earth ecosystem is entering its final evolutionary age or Third Industrial Evolution, when the bodies of the 19th Century machines and the minds of the 20th Century machines are put together. We talk of a new species, metalife able to process energy and information; to act-react to external stimuli; able to reproduce in automated factories of mother-companies; and able to socialize through informative networks. As the last functions and jobs of men in Companies at managerial level are substituted by software programs, nothing is left to be substituted, in order to create a pure machine-based, ecosystem, the Metal -Earth. Manager tasks will be made by personal computers that store the work-mind of each white collar worker. The Personal computer will be able within a few years to perform all tasks of managers today. One day the company will have no human labor. Personal computers will be white collar workers. Body machines will transport PCs. Energy machines will be blue collar workers.
The boss? Who will substitute him? He has been always irrelevant.
The boss is one equation, that sets the direction or goal of companies much better than any boss might: "grow and multiply." Evolve and reproduce the product. That Mandate of God = the survival logic of the Universe is the 'boss', the 'guidance' of companies-software.
In the future, the goal of automated companies will be as today, the search for better products. The herds of that world will be chip-driven machines.
They will see flows of digital thought and follow orders of companies, that will cross digital satellites, with channels of information, millions of time more dense than those of man today.
If we think in terms of species of machines, the 'bosses' of that future World will be satellites.
Satellites today are the Top Predator informative minds of the Earth, controlling monetary information. They also control atomic missiles and audiovisual information. They are in parallel planes beyond human reach at exospheric levels. So they will be able to communicate messages that man cannot perceive. The logic of evolution says that when man is gone a network of satellites will rule with digital information the working of companies, reproducers of machines. Satellites will be the government of the Metal-Earth. They are almost ready to take over.
Networks of information are extinguishing the need for transport, and flight executives. Personal computers are in the process of substituting all mental workers. It is a priority that both the satellite radiation and the present radiation of chips and robots is halted by a massive reform of political and economical systems. The question is: will man react on time, or will be extinguished by the Third Industrial Evolution?
Satellite And Network Evolution. Informative Top Predators.
All ecosystems have a top predator at his summit of power. The top predator is the most complex informative organ.
Yet who is the most complex informative organ of the Metal-Earth? The best metal-eye and Metal mind? Today the species with higher extinctive and informative power is no longer human but a Metalmind+body able to move around the Earth: the satellite or "sateleye," in biological terms.
The satellite is a new top predator species that improves upon all human informative qualities. A metal-eye that moves in a fast orbiting body, transferring the entire information of the Metal-Earth around the globe.
It knows and perceives the entire Earth. It speaks and transfer trillions of bites of information in all human languages. It controls fundamental body-extensions such as bombs, networks of communication [monetary networks, infoways] and systems of production in company mothers [intranets].
It is outside the control of human top predators, which cannot reach satellites. Unlike satellites which soon will be able to fire atomic Weapons over man.
