Human life is too important for the choice to end it to be determined by an algorithm. Fully autonomous war machines are a huge threat. Once that genie is out of the bottle, all bets are off. We're not talking skeletal metal robots holding machine guns here. What about swarms of insect sized killers - going dormant for ages then activating on facial recognition and flying in the target's ear with a small explosive charge. What if that algorithm then decides that all people with a skin tone darker than X are a valid target. Or people wearing certain clothes. Or people in a certain age range. Or ethnicity. Or driving a certain model car. Or more likely, what if it gets hacked by a state player, or a crime syndicate, or just some incel in his mother's basement...

Walk this way, talk this way

Dafuq?? Do you really think Trump gives a flying f**k about the welfare of anyone who isn't Donald J Trump? Especially foreigners. Once again the stupid bastard is being led by the nose by Netanyahu, who needs yet another war to keep in power and out of court. Peace prize my arse. The only prize the orange clown deserves is "Worst President Ever", possibly upgraded to "Person who has had the most negative impact on humanity 2016-2020, and 2024 to impeachment"

Good luck getting a lift though!

Sounds like Anthropic AI are one of the rare tech companies ones common sense and vision. As these are totally foreign to the village idiot in the Oval Office, it's no wonder he doesn't like them.

I had poached eggs and fried mushrooms for lunch today. If I were Onetrack, I'd probably be in orbit right now 😆

Curried egg and red onion is a potent combination.

Sounds like something Chopper Read would have used.

Prince Punt? Runt? Nah you've lost me Peter! 😆

That's what I thought too. Was he unelected? Reelected? Both? I wasn't aware that NK had elections. Ones with more than 1 name on the ballot, anyway.

Bated. Definitely. As in "abated" (lessened, reduced). You wouldn't want baited breath. That would be fishy. And you might get hooked.

Renewables are cheaper, greener, and don't harm the ecology - or human health for that matter - anywhere near as much as fossil fuels. Kind of makes you wonder why anyone would argue against them, whether or not they accepted the science proving anthropomorphic climate change.

I think you're glossing over a few things here. Gina may employ around 4000 people, but she is also doing her best to lower working conditions for everyone - she is a major backer of the LNP, the IPA, and has made statements wishing Australia's employment conditions were more like parts of Africa, where people are willing to work for $2 a day. Not sure why she thinks everyone except her should work for peanuts, given her wealth has increased from the poverty line of $75,000,000 she inherited in the 90's to around $40,000,000,000 now.

Marriage is just a piece of paper. The loveliest couple I know, with two wonderful adult kids, have been together over 25 years without marrying.

I just heard there's going to be a Trump Tower on the Gold Coast. One more reason to avoid it
