This is factually incoherent nonsense. The "blood-thirsty dictator" was "installed" (e.g. inherited the throne) in 1941 during WWII while Iran was occupied by the British and the Soviets. He came to power when his father abdicated and fled.

The "blood-thirsty dictator" didn't murder thousands of people every year or anything remotely like it. Over the entirety of the "blood-thirsty dictator"'s reign figures are in the low hundreds in total for the political/dissident deaths conducted by his forces.

The non-proliferation issues are explicitly a double standard for obvious reasons. The purpose is limiting proliferation of nuclear weapons into more hands not the enrichment itself. Limiting enrichment amongst those without nukes is a means to that end.

No such authority exists. These actions were illegal and halted by the courts. Everyone the US sent to CECOT was returned.

The US has a dictator wannabee as a president.

Anybody who has worked in IT should realize that people CHOOSE to activate their brains. Smart people can be morons when they choose to be.

Lazy is a huge part of it. Some are so out of shape mentally, it takes incredible effort and time to become fit enough to perform difficult tasks--- and would rather somebody else does it because it's even harder to overcome a massive debt of effort.

You get in car accidents NEAR your house because you go into autopilot daydreaming mode and it's painful to make yourself pay as much attention as you do in other less trained locations. It's natural and difficult to counter; plus this society is geared to promote lazy.

That's not what Anthropic promised their shareholders. If that was all Claude is supposed to be, nobody would be giving them that much money in the first place.

Are you being serious? There is no moral right for intervention in response to the intentional massacre of over 30k injuring over 300k civilians over the course of two days? Murdering injured protestors in hospitals, murdering and raping doctors and nurses for treating them? No moral right to stop barbaric repressions of human beings? Sigheh to 9 year old girls all totally normal.

Of course all the dark age nonsense is by no means limited to the borders of Iran. Iran is the worlds leading state sponsor of terror destabilizing the entire region.

The source of the regimes "right" to massacre civilians is the same as an external powers "right" to intervene. FAFO.

Over the last few weeks I've seen a number of RFJ wanted fliers with millions of dollars in reward money produced by the US state department. They have a phone number and a tor address and explicitly target Mojtaba and the IRGC org chart.

The problem with all these arguments is that they beg the question: They assume that AI is some kind of sentient technology with personal and unpredictable goals that are inevitably in opposition to humanity's goals. They then argue that humanity is controllable because it cannot fight a super intelligent sentient technology with personal and unpredictable goals. It's a classic logical fallacy.

There can be no co-operation without some measure of trust. It's a collective balancing act which is not purely technical. AI mimicry enables new kinds of social engineering attacks that have never been possible before. The onus should not be purely on the software architecture, IMHO.

Agreed! I used to RUN a 4KB BASIC interpreter in my T-16 back home!

I'm nit optomistic that thonking thos fast is a giid odea!

Gonna be a problem if you want to run a modern web browser.

Which is frustrating because there's no reason a script-enabled rich text viewer with networking should require this much f---ing memory.

With all the perfect, unbiased journalism going around will AI lower the bar?!

I cannot believe that Microsoft is baffled why people HATE Windows 11, so much--or maybe it's just that people are HATING Microsoft.

Check it for yourself. Have 64GB of memory? Still Windows uses VM, and you pay for the SSD--all to make it seem less bloated.

We have already witness too much AI pollution and fact distortion in every type of humanity's information.

Oh no, there is no victory. Your summary is pretty good here. But the idea that Linux is provably less secure because old bugs were found is flatly wrong. They were found late, but they were indeed found. How many ancient bugs are lurking in proprietary software that nobody has found for positive reasons and made full disclosures of so affected parties know they need to mitigate? Nobody knows!
