Gee I wonder what nation state currently is known for cyber warfare, and currently isn’t in good terms with ICC… perhaps one that may even have an arrest warrant on their current leader by ICC, and/or maybe one of the creators of the stuxnet virus.

802.11a is over 20 years old, fortunately this law isn’t talking about shutting down existing routers. the 6 GHZ is the next frontier to expand to, the military already owns the 7 GHZ spectrum… So the 6 GHZ is the one that can be expanded into. Of which origionally was planned to be made for the next generation of wifi… but now is going to be sold off to phone providers to use in the next generation of mobile networks.

So in short, our existing routers will continue to work as designed, but future routers will not be making any leaps forward.

Basically the choice between better faster wireless LANs, is getting killed in favor of better networks for cellphone services… of which the carriers will set the price on.

Well yeah exactly why I said “the same risk”. ideally it’s going to be in the same systems… and assuming no one is stupid enough (or the laws don’t let them) attach it to the publicly accessible forms of existing AIs It’s not a new additional risk, just the same one. (though those assumptions are largely there own risks.

Seems to me pointless, biggest one being, if this was developed in a working manner, and was used… advertisers would mix between going more subtle, or more obnoxious. Just like on the web.

IE subway stations could put say a code you need to get into the subway in the middle of an advertisement. IE the real life equivelant of “you must disable your adblocker to continue”.

I mean theoretically things could be anonymized for the AI, with only the charts with identifiers present, I’d imagine assuming the AI itself stays locked into the EHR system and isn’t say outsourced to one of the big AI firms. With those conditions it’s, roughly the same privacy as the existance of EHR in general.

As far as practical/legal/ethical, that comes down to how they market it to doctors. Personally I think it could be a useful tool for a doctor to “second opinion” himself. IE reach his own conclusion first, then hit the AI, see if it noticed something he missed. Though the obvious fear is of course going to be lazy or rushed doctors, working in a hospital that’s pushing them to see the most patients possible in an hour, rewarding the doctors that walk in, hand the patient their AI diagnosis, and move into the next room. Which… well in modern America we all know this is what’s going to be pushed.

The tools have amazing potential when used appropriately… but for profit healthcare has all the wrong incentives, and they will see this as a tool to magnify them.

Something that I remember of my childhood durring the iraq war, was a news story where during either Iraq or Afghanistan. The US misfired some missiles into Iran, and Iran basically said “it’s ok I know it was an accident”… and I remember my conservative dad saying “That doesn’t sound very evil”.

Agreed, AI just like all media, has the biggest question of “is it fueling bias’s, or just reflecting them”. It’s drawing what people think of when they see something.

It isn’t racist for me to say, getting pulled over for no reason is far more likely if your skin is darker, it’s just what society is.

and that’s of course before we talk about the general discussion of actually effective ways to deal with obesity in society… which is more complicated. Obviously directly shaming, has a negative impact. Making someone with an eating disorder feel shitty about themselves, makes it harder to overcome the disorder. At the same time saying it’s not a problem for them to face at all is also not going to help them want to change.

I love that he can call things “objectively false”, but then not actually try and counterpoint any of them. It’s wrong because it disagrees with what I believe. Is he going to claim the amounts are wrong, or that Jan 6th is not right wing. Disagree that left wing violence is at the extreme ends targeting property?

Grok is at least showing examples to explain it’s conclusion, musk is just copying trumps “nope fake news”.

to me I still use the paid version because, for me it’s not that expensive on the family plan, and I do want the content creators to get paid. I do hate the monopoly etc… but as far as I can tell it’s one that can’t really be broken. Far as I can see no other site can actually arrange a system in which creators get paid any substantial amount.

also do have to note the inevitable put up or shut up part of nature. There’s basically only 2 options of systems when it comes to the internet, either we deal with ads or we pay for services. Until a magical extra option appears I’m OK with paying to avoid ads.

I mean… yes but that’s only going to slightly annoy. Sadly I think this is going to take actually using a “stand your ground” law correctly. IE how the hell can anyone argue against, I saw a gang of masked men with a gun coming towards me and I feared for my life.

It’s Iran right? or Sadam Husain?

Agreed there, personally though I do feel one of the biggest silly combinations games often make is, having marathon grade health, easy access to health potions AND a save anytime system. It’s like I could use a potion to heal up… or I could go back 5 seconds and do the fight without taking a hit.

Biggest flaw IMO is it seems like they just are going with a binary “left – right”. rather than specific issues as well.

IE, when the democratic party “leans right”, they adopt, cut taxes on corporations, they basically give the right their narratives.

IE Republicans on immigration:

There’s millions of murderous drug cartel pet eating monsters in this country wrecking everything, we need to get them all out of here by any means necessary.

Dems response: We should absolutely get them out of here, but it’s worth it to do it slowly and keep due process.

The obvious problem being to the uneducated voter they hear “The parties agree, there are lots of horrible murderers here, do I care more about the rights of the murderers, or getting them out before there are victims”.

Rimworld does pretty well on not just “money trader has” but specifically that traders don’t deal in, well things they don’t deal in.

Elder scrolls to my knowledge, the blacksmith will sell you a sword… and literally buy cheese wheels down to his last penny.

what’s he going to do then… flip the sign from black smith to cheese shop, until he builds up enough cash to restock on metals, why isn’t everyone a general store at that point due to customers selling and buying random stuff.

Kind of, a bit greyer there, first depends if it remains sustainable, though I’d like to point out the US at least. While some states do want to push for a cover up. It’s fair to say that overall american history still notes the atrocities that say the US forced on the Native Americans. or say Asian Americans in WW2 etc… Of course that’s also because the US kept a free press so far. With enough corporate or government control of the press, it’s very likely “patriotic history” will replace objective history.

lol hilarious, but I think the idea is strategic plans… especially ones that serve as useful tests to find out who the current administration is leaking information to. IE say give a spot very far from where the attack will be. But instead of an attack just release a small batch of surveilance to see if Russia launches any countermeasures.

Then at the time of attack hit hard and heavy very far away from the US co-ordinated attack.

Note the results, show Russia shoring up their defences against the fake attack and announce loudly that the US leaked the information to russia, either intentionally or by incompetence.

I believe the OK one was just 4chan going

“lol, the left is so gullible if we say the OK sign is a sign of white nationalists, they’ll publish it”. Of course the reality is, when they sent it out, the actual white nationalists saw it and started using it.

which is kind of the thing that they do. Just like pepe… to my knowledge the original author doesn’t seem to be a bad guy. Meme itself was used in non horrible ways for years. But today you see someone join something with a pepe avitar or similar… you know there’s a 90% chance that whatever community you are in is about to get a test of how they react to the racial slurs that are about to come up.

Or you know you can go to the most famous and talked about ones. IE that symbol of good fortune that existed in countless peaceful cultures for thousands of years.

Agreed, though also does need to be scaled with the time you are comparing to’s essentials as well. IE land line phones were essential before we reached a point where cellphones are allowed to be used for similar services. But yeah fully agreed in modern times… Essential living cost should be

“Food”

“Rent/Housing”

“Utilities” (IE power/water/Sewage etc…)

“transportation”

“Internet + Celphone”.

I think a further thing to point out in this math… is we’d also need to take into account average transportation and food expenses. Because while I’m not smart enough to do the math to calculate it out. On top of say housing relative to income doubling. Prices of necessities also need to be calculated out. If housing costs scaled with wages, but food cost doubled wages, that would still be a large factor on buying power.

Because writers/politicians/scientists are still considered such in life no matter what. On the other hand, if a billionare loses all of his money… he can in fact not be a billionare anymore.
