Posted in: Bernie Sanders wants U.S. to adopt a 32-hour workweek See in context

That's pure theory. Look, even if you would then work with quite a needed higher productivity in less hours and would generate enough to receive the same wages as before, then you have luckily that same amount as before but for example have to share it now on 50% or whatever higher percentage of one more free day or leisure time, which is the decisive time span when you usually need the money and spend it. That continued, you would already need double the former income when the reduction would be another day or would be a 24 hrs working week, needing now money for four free days, but only hove three working days to generate it, and so on.

To generously shorten everyone's learning curve, AI can't and work properly, which is mathematically intrinsic. Of course there's no need to believe me that. Tweak the billions of weights and parameters or implement legions of models, whatever, finally you'll have an own, some longer learning curve and get the same result.

Posted in: Putin has no successor, no living rivals and no retirement plan – why his eventual death will set off a vicious power struggle See in context

I don't see a power vacuum after his death like the author describes it. I would agree so far, that the prime minister Miskhustin doesn't have any potential or chance. That guy of course has a sudden window accident while the deceased body is still warm. lol But there are of course quite some figures in the pipeline , for example hard-liner and with presidential experience , Medvedev, then not to ignore the soul twin and private friend Shoigu, then of course one of the most probable options, Patrushev , a former FSB boss and now head of state security council, or someone else from FSB, GRU etc, then there are also other possibilities like someone even much more radical or war-affin from the extreme nationalist wing and near political parties. And finally, if there is still any doubt left or really any missing scenario or too much undecided rivalry, simply the military will take over and establish an army led dictatorship.

Posted in: AI supercharges threat of disinformation in a big year for elections globally See in context

I wonder what an extremely small margin this strange discussion is about. The very big majority of people or voters doesn't even have any time or knowledge to produce such fake news or election influence and also no time or knowledge to explicitly make intensive searches for it or reading it. I guess that's only a very limited debate within that very small circle of AI fake producers / hackers etc and their similarly small group of counterparts. Both should not such overestimate themselves. They are of nearly insignificant importance, influence and our planet surely turns on and on with or without them.

Now they immediately start to cry when not everyone is abiding and dancing to their weired music. Look, there are much more people out there than only you few oh so very violent-free 'falsely' accused eco-terrorists and green taliban. If you are really too sad and it somehow psychologically helps, you can still block my road or throw ketchup against a painting of me. That's surely much less disturbing than where you throw your peacefulness usually against. lol

Very dangerous to detect, all those anywhere hidden hamas supporters who are in high positions and don't even have the average Hamas phenotype and military equipment in their hands. You can only detect them when they leave camouflage and generously wide open their wallet.

Posted in: Europe's world-first AI rules get final approval from lawmakers See in context

That's pure theory. Those AI rules can't even be enforced on the ground like already strict anti-drug rules show no effects leaving the streets full of illegal drugs and junkies. There is also just no one left in an aging society and with mass influx due to open borders who could handle AI or enforce rules against negative effects. Anyway, it's an obsolete discussion ,with the reality scenario of course any sophisticated technology including AI will disappear too. There won't be any problems with AI in the future, when our first world's economies are de-industrialized, dissolved and finally disappear, becoming replaced by global south chaos, anarchy and the related 'technology' development levels. In other words, they try to rule into something that still isn't existing and also won't exist quickly enough to still get even a glimpse at before everything else is too late too.

At least they should show a minimum of mannered human behavior and ask the public before they blow hundreds of millions of our money into nothing and pollute air and environment with their unlimited crazy and useless ideas. They and their supporters can do it, but please pay the development and the damage costs out of your own pockets and not with money from us many unasked!

Posted in: Gains from rising stocks proving elusive for most Japanese See in context

Let's make a little comparison. We all mostly have similar wishes, let's say a big house, a fat luxury car and a bug yacht to go on vacation with to dream islands and beaches. Now, do you have the money to buy that or will someone invest in your dreams or ideas, at least would your bank invest in it by giving you a big and more than sufficient credit? Of course not. And if yes, you wouldn't read or comment here on JT but enjoy that far away beach. Ok so far? Now tell me, why we little poor nothings in return of such bad treatment which is ignoring our dreams, should invest the very small money we have left, into those companies, their dreams and production or weird start-up phantasies? No, who likes it may risk money and support such, but as for me, I don't see a potential money infrastructure that would support my dreams and business ideas, so why should I support theirs by any investments? I and probably you too, won't even get closer to your real dreams even if a few of those investments would pay. That's all to it to say.

Posted in: Ramadan in Gaza begins with hunger worsening and no end to war in sight See in context

Especially surprising to me is how quickly all those very religious people in that region there forget about their more peaceful parts of the own religion. They shouldn't do anything else than praying especially not engage in fights on Fridays or Saturdays respectively, right? And for the whole month of Ramadan there should be somewhat like a ceasefire, granted by the stronger side, or not thinking about necessary defense on the weaker side, in this current scenario. That's a minimum of peace that they have to follow as a religious duty, but they don't care at all. I'm much more peaceful than those and am a candidate for hell as an atheist? Come on, that is bxsxt, they go both to hell according to own rules.

Posted in: What do you think of home schooling? See in context

It's not good in my opinion, because the kids need interaction, communication with other kids, not only with adults (home schooling teachers or parents) , but most of all they need any comparison and have to develop a feeling for competition with the other kids in class, so that they can estimate their own standing and learning progress and then further improve it by all means, if necessary.

Posted in: Biden cajoles Netanyahu with tough talk, humanitarian concerns but Israeli PM remains dug in See in context

The problem is the outlook and the future numerical development. Of course they know they will be outnumbered and entangled in future even more than now, a simple look at the birth rates and global numbers of religion members gives a clear hint. And if then there are established two separated sovereign states, which is the demand of global community, they don't even know what's going on in the neighborhood and if the next attack is planned. Tunnels and the massacre attacks for example couldn't even prevented with own control and full own information access. How does that turn out in a two state scenario? So in fact they have only this one shot in this very small time frame, and of course it will all repeat even more deadly with a ceasefire and two states. Not a nice situation, for no one involved. Can't be helped, in that whole region conflicts are the constant so to say.

Posted in: 'Moshi-Tora' speculates on how Trump's election might impact Japan's economy See in context

The impact on economy will surely dependent on support level. Trump is a business and negotiation guy, so instead of opposing everything already before he is even elected brings not much or nothing, but support, negotiations and doing business will bring everything. For countries outside U.S. the key might be to lure him with some US jobs creation, profitable outlooks , verbal political support and such. It's not so much effort to convince him into advantages for BOTH sides as he is a more simple structured type. But on the other hand, stubborn opposition and contradictions can quickly bring quite an isolation and economical downturn. It's a very big chance or a big disaster, depending only on very own attitude, not his.

They don't get their mouth full at the very top and medium level again. Although a bit sinking and very loud complaining they at least HAVE their WAGES. I wonder when or if ever only one millisecond is spent on all the dependent people with even lower, lowest or without any wages.

That hasn't been any topic at those times. Of course there surely have been some rare cases too, but that has all been handled silently outside of public, and those criminals or psychos neither made it out of prison again and rumors were they also haven't made it very long inside the prison.

Posted in: ‘Volunteer’ gets suspended sentence for stealing fruit from quake-hit home See in context

That puts also the more general question, if volunteering after natural catastrophes or helping in an accident or crime situation really pays out. It seems, that when you are acting and help in such situations, you potentially are already with one leg in court or prison, because you often may become a little hero and get smiles and thanks, but in a quite a significant number of times you are suddenly confronted with accusations, complaints, whatever else. In so far it's of course a theft in this case here, as the fruits were expensive and inside a property area and not normal cheap ones on an publicly open roadside tree, but it should be weighed against the many hours or days of harsh volunteer work in the destroyed area. I would agree that the verdict is a bit too harsh here.

Sounds more like an April fools joke or such. Sweden and wine expertise? Real licensed sommeliers who test, approve canned wine and then even recommend that in public? That's surely quite a bit too much to become nearer of believing it. Real wine connoisseurs would flee the scen or at least wouldn't even go close to a filled wine glass nor touch it if told that the wine is out of metallic tanks or was filled up into cans.

Posted in: Microsoft engineer sounds alarm on AI image-generator to U.S. officials and company's board See in context

What's mentally wrong with all those people? AI still cannot produce anything harmful or with hurting physical impact, it just only calculates or 'produces' byte patterns. If someone now develops a psychiatric disorder and sees a harmful picture in those byte patterns and prints it out on paper or forwards it by email etc. then it has nothing to do with AI anymore. And still it's harmless, as it is only a sheet of printed paper or as an incoming email another byte pattern that might be interpreted as an email or a 'picture'. But of course it's still completely harmless then.

Those companies should also demand extreme payments for the EU wished additional or changed features and otherwise leave that whole market and only return there if they have regained consciousness on the old continent, return to global normality and of course pay for the services' re-installation, if they should again wish access to IT and related technology. I surely would teach them a lesson, better early now than risking own big global IT company for those turned crazy people.

All that has worked somehow and so just let him alone. It's not worth to hype it, because it helped him like other things and behavior have helped us somehow.

That's in practice just only a new 'hidden' head tax for everyone, or at least everyone who ever leaves own city limits for any reason, because surely all other cities and area will follow in return and demand similar fees. Such all citizens strip off money from other citizens and in return are also stripped off by them a little later.
