I am not sure why he is saying modern AI is super intelligent. Trump makes my old ZX Spectrum look super intelligent.

Looks like we have another year to move people from windows 10 to Linux or perhaps tiny 10/11

It seems more they react out of fear, look at NASA having to remove references to anyone black associated with the space programme, if they failed to do that, they would probably lose funding or face other consequences.
It is probably easier to save all the data, comply then plan to restore as soon as this lot are out of the Whitehouse, the sooner the Mid terms come the better, I just hope the US does the right thing with this.
But yeah, this current MAGA lot seem to be able to intimidate with impunity as no one will stand up to them on a regular basis, which is why they are where they are today, if someone had said NO and NO means NO to them as a child perhaos they would have turned out differently, but the left would argue that is being nasty and against their rights.

I think we have seen with mainstream social media, posts of an illegal nature, racism, antisemitism and 'trends' some of which are dangerous, so moderators need now need to protect users from certain content, on the other hand, having this content on there gives a chance to challenge the views presented, something we are good at here.
If the law is broken, then evidence needs to also be preserved. If there is extreme content then just deleting it, won't stop it being posted again in the future, the authorities and society need help to tackle these processes at the source.
Education is still the key to this, and education starts at home with the parents / .
legal guardians.

Yes, we need to acknowledge that the US is not only aggressive towards neighbours, other countries, BUT also the native population of North America and large groups of it's own people, and this is getting worse.
On a related(ish) topic, BBC news showed a statement from Netenyahu saying this war won't last for years. I am pretty sure Vladimir Putin thought that before invading Ukraine, Time will tell I guess.

If the USA had gone after Epstein like this, he would have been stopped and 1000s of people would have been saved from this paedophile and his billionaire and other enabling buddies.

I wonder if the fact that since 1776, post independence the USA has never been invaded, hardly ever been attacked by external forces (9/11 being one example) is the reason why it is so aggressive towards others. If the US sustained real threat, and constant bombing as Europe did during WWII, it may treat others differently.
I am sure it is easy to sit in the pentagon and coordinate death and destruction on a global scale, safe that the same won't happen to you, &, friends, family in the USA.
Founding fathers must be turning in their graves right now.

I would like to see if I can start some sort of conversation on here, about #EthicalExploration. We know Elon Musk wants to 'colonize Mars' I really feel that the term Colonize is the wrong word, as I stated on my page, it throws up historical references to empires, one group ruling another and less about going somewhere for peaceful co-existance and scientific advancement.
There are a few papers / documents around this and related topics
https://zleap.net/ethical-exploration
While Elon can be commended for SpaceXs achievements, he doesn't seem to care much about the more negative impacts, so just as with the White explorers of the 18th/19th Centuries do we risk history repeating itself?

Markdown support sounds good to me, will that also inclide MathJax Support as that allows insertion of Math / science formulae (via LaTeX I think) to produce properly formatted text.
