If Ebola catches on and goes viral globally it will be a very serious problem.
Fortunately, that's highly unlikely. There has never been a confirmed case of airborne transmission between humans. Most transmission is due to insufficient and unsanitary health care facilities, due to lack of funds.
Before I got the vax I signed a paper noting that it had a 93% percent Covid prevention rate in clinical trials.
I had already received three Pfizer shots when I came down with the virus (confirmed, with a test that came up positive in less than a minute). However, I am absolutely convinced that the severity of my case was so minimal (sleeping under a blanket on the couch in my clothes for 3-4 days) because of the enhanced response of my immune system, due to the vaccine.
Correct. It's like a governor declaring a state of emergency
AI, huh? And here I thought the, uh, government might seize the opportunity to declare these companies illegal gambling that's rife with insider trading and other criminality, and shut them down.
The problem is always the relative ease of modern travel. This outbreak would be a regional issue if there were no jet planes.
So far, the outbreak is reasonably confined. But it might not stay that way. Raising that alarm is one of the key functions of the WHO.
Doesn't count until we see some in the wild.
No kidding! If Trump had decent PR, they would have had one of the "engineers" of the phone "accidentally" leave one at a bar in San Francisco by now.
Uh, train who/what exactly?
Other AI models. AI model scrapes web, web is full of AI hallucinations, AI outputs more hallucinations based on false data, rinse and repeat.
What is SQL doing on the list? Everything else is a general purpose procedural language, and then they added in one domain specific query language?
It is kinda weird. On top of it not being a programming language, does any DB professional really use stock ANSI SQL? Doesn't every database have its own, unique extensions (PL/SQL maybe being the most famous example)?
Probably people with an existing codebase to maintain.
50 is "elderly"? Ouch.
And let's not overlook that this is yet another attempt by the AI lobby to convince the public that AI "thinks," and even has the same concerns that human workers do. Which it doesn't. But the more the public believes that these algorithms are comparable to human intelligence, the better it is for all the people who keep pouring money into this bubble.
Forget legal power
On the contrary, evidence seems to suggest that AI has long been very good at generating zero-day vulnerabilities. It has a little more trouble with identifying and avoiding them.
I looked it up. Asus's fiscal year is January through December (same as the calendar year).
I remember when virtualization was the new hot thing roughly 20 years back and VM ware was aquired by some big corp, instantly turned to shit and the FOSS crowd started pushing out VM solutions to counter the problem.
They got bought by EMC, which at the time was a Dell company. Then they got acquired by Dell directly. Then they got spun off as their own company, which lasted a year or two before Broadcom snapped them up. Through the whole ordeal, they were sustained mainly by a combination of legit vendor lock-in and people just drinking the Kool-Aid.
