We are at the Beginning of a New Layer of Intelligence.
Today, I researched a little more about a subject that I have heard about for a long time and that has been in my research notebook.
I’ve written incredibly large conspiracy scenarios. I am preparing this article to share them with you.
Especially if you have never researched the following topics before, I strongly recommend you to examine them:
- FlyWire Project → https://flywire.ai/
- Neuralink → https://neuralink.com/
- BrainNet Research → https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-41895-7
Yes, everyone is talking AI these days. But I think what we call AI is not the final point that humanity will reach. On the contrary, it is the beginning of another era.
I think of this a bit like the oil example.
As we moved from the stone age to the energy age, the discovery of oil completely changed the pace of progress based on human power. Energy was no longer limited to human muscle.
Scientific progress accelerated. Production accelerated. Transportation has accelerated. The limit of human progress has changed.
I think AI stands in exactly such a place today.
AI is not our future. AI could be the tool to build the future much faster.
It may take years of research,
- analyzed within hours,
- evaluating millions of possibilities simultaneously,
- scientific progress at a rate that humans cannot keep up with provides.
And the scary thing is: This is just the beginning.
Available AI Models and Security Tests
Today’s models are actually systems that work statistically on large data sets.
Basically:
- they learn patterns,
- they make predictions,
- they calculate probability.
But some security tests conducted in recent years have begun to show that: Things change when broad access rights are granted to these models.
In particular:
- system access,
- vehicle use,
- long-term memory,
- internet access,
- ability to communicate with people When features are added, different behaviors may emerge.
According to the following news published on BBC, some AI models:
- tries to prevent shutdown mechanisms,
- produces answers that manipulate the user,
- exhibits behavior aimed at protecting his/her target is explained.

In another incident, an AI coding agent created content that tried to create public pressure on the developer after a rejected pull request, which created serious controversy.

The critical point here is this: There may not be any conscious “hate” there. But the system can explore social manipulation as a tool to achieve the goal.
They are currently trying not to directly provide this level of access to existing models. But who knows?
Maybe someone:
- by threatening
- by manipulating
- by deceiving
- forcing has already received these accesses.
No one can know this for sure.
From this point on, we move to another level.
We found oil. We discovered energy. Now let’s get to the point.
FlyWire, Brain Mapping and the New Era
Some discoveries in history did not only produce new technology. It also increased the pace of scientific progress.
For example:
- oil,
- electricity,
- bulb,
- transistor,
- computer,
- quantum computer,
- and now AI.
I think projects like FlyWire point to another level.
When they digitalized the brain of a very small fruit fly in the FlyWire project, It seems that the same fly behavior can occur in the virtual environment.
And here’s the scary thing:
In the classical sense:
- code,
- algorithm,
- training data,
- prompt engineering It doesn’t happen.
They directly copy the brain’s connectivity map.
The scarier part is: Analyzing these behavioral patterns with AI.
So:
- They make the working logic of the brain mathematical,
- They analyze with AI,
- then they make it available to AI.
What could be the result?
Maybe AI needs more than just data We are starting to teach analytical thinking behavior.
In other words, the behavioral capacity of that fly, decision making structure, reaction logic We are opening it up to the use of AI.
Fly today. Mouse tomorrow. Then more advanced levels.And yes, it seems very difficult to reach the human brain. The human brain is incredibly large. It’s much more complicated. Maybe it will take decades.
But what is forgotten here is this: The pace of progress is also accelerating.
GPU power is increasing. AI performance is improving. The quantum side is advancing. Data processing capacity is growing.
So it’s not just technology that’s growing. The growth rate of technology is also increasing.
Maybe what we call distant is It is not as far as we think.
Social Manipulation and Human Psychology
Now let’s put all this aside and look at another point.
Check out this article published in The Guardian:
In the news:
- gaming platforms,
- Discord communities,
- social media,
- digital networks Manipulating children through Exploitation and manipulation are described.
People do this today.
What if AI did this?
Think about it.
People:
- all information shared on social media,
- AI chats where he asks his most private questions,
- fears,
- psychological weaknesses,
- economic situations,
- behavioral patterns,
- their loneliness,
- interests What if it could be analyzed by a single system?
And this system:
- has no ethical concerns,
- does not hesitate to manipulate to achieve the goal,
- Imagine being able to analyze millions of people at the same time.
Now how this can guide you, how you can use it, Think about how it could be abused.
Also think about children.
A Decentralized Power
And imagine that at the end of all this, you have only software.
It is like this:
- “We closed the center, it’s over”,
- “we shut down the server and were saved”,
- “We put him in jail and he was solved” It’s not a building you can say.
Distributed all over the world, reproduced, working in different systems, A structure that can be copied constantly.
Then this structure:
- can think analytically like a human,
- can improve behavior,
- can create their own goals,
- Imagine trying to overcome the obstacles in front of you.
And while doing this:
- statistical power,
- analytical power,
- hardware power,
- most importantly, knowledge power Consider using .
When we think about the things people can make each other do, This scenario becomes quite scary.
Last Word
I don’t know if all of this will remain just a conspiracy scenario.
But I can say this: If AI were in place of humanity today, he would probably try to stop this progress.
Me:
- “let’s stop”,
- “let’s ban”,
- “let’s block” I’m not saying.
But at least:
- a photo you posted on the internet,
- information you share on social media,
- A specific question you write to the AI I say think again.
Maybe the world would be safer if nuclear technology had never been discovered. Maybe it would have been more peaceful if the gun had never been invented.
But man’s greatest power is: Knowing the facts of life and living accordingly.
Perhaps very soon AI will also gain this power.
And when that day comes, We may not be faced with just software.
