ALF Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 AI expert warns Elon Musk-signed letter doesn't go far enough, says 'literally everyone on Earth will die' Eliezer Yudkowsky writes that advanced AI will kill all sentient life on Earth and must be shut down An artificial intelligence expert with more than two decades of experience studying AI safety said an open letter calling for a six-month moratorium on developing powerful AI systems does not go far enough. "Many researchers steeped in these issues, including myself, expect that the most likely result of building a superhumanly smart AI, under anything remotely like the current circumstances, is that literally everyone on Earth will die," he asserts. "Not as in 'maybe possibly some remote chance,' but as in 'that is the obvious thing that would happen.'" https://www.foxnews.com/tech/ai-expert-warns-elon-musk-signed-letter-doesnt-enough-literally-everyone-earth-will-die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ferguson forever Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) @Chris farley https://dnyuz.com/2023/04/03/what-is-the-ideal-retirement-age-for-your-health/. Average age without disability is 73. Maybe early retirement isn't so bad! Now early unemployment? not so much. Gal Wettstein, a senior research economist at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, looked at age and potential for employment in a study about people’s working life expectancy. He found that Americans who are healthy at age 50 can expect to have roughly 23 more years free of disability, plus about eight years living with disability. That would suggest people’s maximum working life expectancy, on average, is age 73. Carpe diem Edited April 4, 2023 by redtail hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Tim Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I am curious of something I noticed yesterday when in two separate English teachers rooms. These are two people I don't know well but I noticed they each had more than 25% of their bookcases labeled- banned books- so I looked at the covers and none of them are actually banned in Florida high schools. Several of them were dystopian books and a few were lightly sexual, are the teachers trying to get kids interested in reading by pretending or are they trying to be political? It is frustrating to see someone lie to kids but it is difficult to get kids to read these days. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how they weren’t prepared, and still aren’t, for this moment. But here we are… Most of America believes in restrictions after 15-20 weeks. One side pushes bans and six weeks while the other side pushes next to zero protections for the unborn. In the battle of extremes, the pro-choice side looks more rational given the shadow of Roe being repealed. Now, because Wisconsin R’s couldn’t figure this out, not only will abortion measures be more liberal… they’ll also have direct effect on the Presidential election in 2024 in regards to voting measures. 6 minutes ago, Doc said: I guess being able to kill babies all the way up to and right after birth is really important to a lot of people. Yup. Ive come to terms with it. I just wish people would be honest with themselves about what’s going on here. They can be pro-choice. That’s fine. I get it. We live in an imperfect world. Just stop thinking they have the moral high ground too … they do not. We all know this.. even those that lie to themselves about it.

Joe Ferguson forever Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) So the special state senate race want down to the wire in the WOW districts which haven't gone dem since lyndon johnson. This is seismic. I really hope trump is able to run in 2024. He is destroying the brand completely WOW counties — have been the centerpiece of any Republican victory in Wisconsin for decades. But they brought mostly bad news for Republicans on Tuesday. The counties, which surround Milwaukee, have been emblematic of the shift in the state during the Trump era. They collectively have not voted for a Democrat for president since Lyndon Johnson, but have gradually trended more Democratic over the last decade. On Tuesday, former state Supreme Court Justice Dan Kelly was still on track to win all three of those crucial counties. But the margins continue to shrink for Republicans there — a bright red, flashing warning side for the GOP ahead of the 2024 elections. Notably, Protasiewicz came dangerously close to outright winning in Ozaukee County, trailing Kelly by roughly five points in a county that Mitt Romney won by roughly 30 points a decade ago. And perhaps even more concerning for Republicans: A special election for a red-leaning state Senate seat in the WOW counties on Tuesday is a nailbiter. Should Jodi Habush Sinykin, the Democratic candidate, eventually pull off the win, it would flip the seat for Democrats — and prevent Republicans from picking up a supermajority in the state Senate.

All_Pro_Bills Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Robert F. Kennedy, Jr on Wednesday filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission, positioning him to oppose President Biden for the 2024 Democratic nomination. In the past he's stated. "My top priority [would] be to end the corrupt merger between state and corporate power that has ruined our economy, shattered the middle class, polluted our landscapes and waters, poisoned our children, and robbed us of our values and freedoms." Personally, for me, sounds like I guy I will give some consideration. But for the establishment? Another populist type threat.
