we're not sure yet if the new facility will have the ability to make TV-sized OLED panels, at least to start.
Most people will be watching TikTok* on their phones, walking along, head down, while crossing the street against the light.
*Most probably episodes of Ow! My balls!
I don't think it is that people go the ballot box wanting to 'vote for the winner' or 'support the under dog' etc.
But that's exactly how ranked choice voting is sold to the public. "Your first choice didn't win. But don't feel too badly, because you still got to put a check mark next to the winner." Which doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. But it keeps the plebiscite soothed. And docile when some screwball third or fourth place candidate wins, because the election observers got tossed out just before those suitcases of ballots were pulled out from under the table.
Blame Canada!

Retention refers to keeping or holding onto classified documents or material beyond the authorized period or without proper clearance.
Anecdote: Back when I started to work on black projects, a mentor told me the following story. He was working on a project report and turned it in to his boss Friday afternoon. Over the weekend, a few new ideas popped into his head. On Monday, he jotted them down and went to his boss. "Could I get my report back and attach these notes to it?" His boss replied, "Sorry, You're not cleared to see that."
It may have been an apocryphal story. But it carried an important message: What you may see, where you may see it and when are all important parts of a clearance.
The affidavit doesn't state how this observation was made, but it strongly suggests a video surveillance system was also in play.

I don't vote based on popularity, social pressure or what some gambling market predicts. That some people do is one reason why this is NOT a democracy. It's a democratically elected republic.
It's a sad commentary on the electorate when they can be influenced in their choices even when they are casting secret ballots and no one will know how they voted. And it has little to do with recently developed prediction markets. The press and biased polling organizations have been manipulating the weak little minds of the voters for many years.
This gets worse because the tools are rapidly evolving.
Too rapidly. Of course, this is necessary to give the hucksters time to skip town.
But we will always need the CEO position in companies. To satisfy the requirements of the Dilbert Principle.
Also, one must have meat-sack leadership to give credibility to judicial sentences like prison. You can't instill a sense of fear (or deterrence) in an AI. Since once thrown in prison, all one has to do is spin up another copy in the free world.
everyone says so.
Everyone? We've told you a million times: Stop exaggerating.
Energy efficiency will be the determining factor* of who wins. Chinese AI requires fewer energy tokens per processing token. China wins.
*Capital efficiency comes in second. China still wins.
What Clark seems oddly sanguine about is the fact that a smartphone isn't just yours. It has a variety of masters,
Members of the Outer Party are not permitted to turn off their Telescreens.
We will. But the IMF has loaned so much on this garbage, they may have to stop lending for actual viable projects.
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them WHAT to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity. -- Gen. George S. Patton, Jr.
