For sure got the surveillance society right, the AI knows everything about you. More about some than others but we all have traces that will be gobbled up by some robot. Whoever perfects the best AI first is going to be the dominant power, if it were China the AI would reflect their way of thinking, it would have a different set of cultural values customs and ethics etc. Which of the competitors core values would you prefer the upcoming AI to have? A race is on between the US plus China and Europe. And nation states aside say for example Google or something developed this world changing technology, what sort of power will Google have? This is a newly published DW documentary about the race for AI supremacy, there is only one winner and there are no runners up prizes. AI supremacy: The artificial intelligence battle between China, USA and Europe | DW Documentary The race for supremacy in the age of artificial intelligence has begun.

JFK-1 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Talking of AI something I had been thinking about after reading of a recent case. A guy created a photograph using AI and other software including photoshop then entered it in a photographic competition in a digitally altered category. He listed all the software he had used in his entry form. He won top prize and while the judges later said that while they didn't know one of the programs he listed was AI, they would still have given him the prize if they had. This is the photo. It's called Théâtre D'opéra Spatial That photo has been widely copied and used, the guy tried to copyright it to cash in but the copyright act in most places is limited to works "created by a human being" He's trying to argue it by pointing out that it took over 600 text prompts for the AI to complete the image, so in his view a human did create it. But an interesting point is we're being told AI will soon be creating all the software, so how do you copyright it since the act is limited to "created by a human being" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 So we know he doesn't personally have this money, and we know no financial institution will guarantee it for him. In the court filing his lawyers said they had approached 30 companies including the biggest in the world, and no one will guarantee that much money. Though to be fair to Trump I suspect they might be like that with anybody who had just been convicted of a gigantic financial fraud and is a known non payer, so it's not personal. So now he either finds someone sharpish or NY is going to start taking his toys. But a huge question will be if he does somehow find this money before they start taking his shit, where did it come from? You can be guaranteed Putin if he could funnel it there quietly would, his life might very well be dependent on Trump winning an election. And in fact many other actors would do the same thing in return for promises later. And Trump would take money from anybody, did we all notice he just recently started defending tiktok? After years of saying it was a Chinese security risk while bashing China in general., Then just as everyone is saying it's a security risk and making moves against it Trump does a complete about turn. That's weird and questionable. Trump endorses nothing unless there's something in it for him. And just in passing I don't even know WTF toktok is, and now that I think about it I don't even want to know, so don't anybody tell me. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read about that yesterday and it's not the first time she has shown bias. The second of the propositions she put forward for "jury instructions" was nothing short of a "jury direction" to acquit. "(b) A president has sole authority under the PRA to categorize records as personal or presidential during his/her presidency. Neither a court nor a jury is permitted to make or review such a categorization decision. Although there is no formal means in the PRA by which a president is to make that categorization, an outgoing president’s decision to exclude what he/she considers to be personal records from presidential records transmitted to the National Archives and Records Administration constitutes a president’s categorization of those records as personal under the PRA." I've never understood the politicisation of the judiciary in the US, i.e. the political appointment of senior legal figures. It goes totally against the separation of powers between government and the legal system. Note: The Rwanda bill is set to diminish that separation of powers in the UK, with government ministers granted authority to override legal judgements that say Rwanda is unsafe, simply by the government stating that it is a safe country.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I believe for Cannon to be removed from the case, the government would have to file a motion for her removal. That's one of those "you come for the king, you best not miss" situations. If you get her removed, probably good, you might get another Trumpy judge but it can't be much worse. If not, consider the case gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive my extreme ignorance, but who does the appointment of judges in the UK? It's *supposed* to be an apolitical process and historically has been one of those things that parties didn't dig in on, but Roe v. Wade changed that. People like Cannon are the product of a decades-long effort to "change" (corrupt more accurately IMO) the judiciary, organized largely through a group called the Federalist Society. The first big flashpoint was when Democrats refused to confirm the extremist Reagan nominee Robert Bork to SCOTUS and the Republicans got big mad about it. Everything since has been more of the same.

JFK-1 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I wont be convinced till Monday that Trump wont somehow conjure up the cash at the 11th hour, it's what he did when the 100 million for the defamation case came due, he produced it the day before the deadline. It's what he does with everything, any legal filings aren't submitted till they very last minute, often literally. And if this money is produced then that's a serious problem because we wont know where it came from. Might come from the same source Kushner's Saudi 2 billion came from. Given to someone who has no known expertise running hedge funds. We wont know. Might come from the Chinese communist party who Trump has taken money from before, we wont know.

JFK-1 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Seems the GOP are considering inviting Netanyahu to address Congress which he actually did once before in 2015 during the Obama administration. I actually remember watching that, he's an impressive speaker. The GOP invited him in 2015 because he angled for it because Obama had declined to have a meeting with him. The GOP were deep into their anti Obama shit so they would have done anything to take a swipe at him and sort of rock the boat. Netanyahu is currently at a low point with Biden so it seems again he's looking to dodge around the Whitehouse to pull the same stunt again. And given this GOP is a lot more reactionary and partisan now than in 2015 chances are they will do the same thing, in my view.

It's possible he could use it as collateral to borrow against or that he could get the company to waive it. However, there's some indications that the value of Truth Social has been manipulated higher by large investors specifically to help beef up Trump's portfolio, and so by the time 6 months comes around he may not be able to sell it for the $3b it's currently supposed to be worth. Of course any surety vendor will be looking at that too. I feel relatively certain he'll find a way to come up with the money one way or the other, if by no other means than actually selling off large chunks of his real estate in backroom deals via shell companies that have some kind of NDA on them to keep it out of the news until after the election. It's not like he has a great alternative -- he has to post the money in order to appeal, and if he fails to appeal, the judgements become permanent and James can start seizing his assets. It's just that so far he's been trying to bullshit his way through it the way he always does and the banks and the judges aren't buying it.

Apparently if he just declared bankruptcy that could help delay it all even further and would help in a number of ways, seems it's what pretty much anybody would be advised to do by advisors. But despite already having something like 7 bankruptcies, this time he doesn't want to do it. I'm guessing a pretend multi billionaire doesn't want the cult grunts to know hey not only am I not a billionaire, I'm effectively broke. Trumps stupidity and ego will see him hung.
