The Garvaghy Road stand off seems weirdly anachronistic. A tableau from another era (which one had hoped had been consigned to the dustbin of history). Pity.

Here’s a fun top five: things that are consensus among historians but are essentially unknown by the public. Richard I, a bad king of England. Roman Empire, fell in 1453. Paul, more important than Jesus. Witch burning, a modern phenomenon not a medieval one. Britain last invaded in 1688. Yours?

In an operational separation of powers, the role of the Courts (superior) includes being a counterweight to counterbalance the inherent instability / extremes of democracy. The political capture of SCOTUS is salutary. The machine continues to spin; tearing itself apart.

I have a trade deficit with woman who used to own my house. I paid her thousands of dollars for her home and she paid me nothing. Now, all I have is a house worth thousand of dollars. I could have saved those thousands of dollars if I lived on a bench in the park. It's just simple Economics.

The putative AI risk can be addressed by fairly simple legislation drafted around the following central principle: if a company’s “AI” software engages in behaviour that would attract criminal charges if done by a natural person the officers of the said company shall be criminally liable. Done.

I am hopeful that one of the outspins of the cracks in the 1945 settlement and/or coming AI crunch, is the massive reinvigoration of anti-trust/anti-competition action by governments. As in an increasing number of spaces, the leading good guy will be the faceless / highly technical EU DGs.

Genuine query: has anyone distilled the explanation (re LLM AI to AGI) on how it is that the frontier labs are progressing LLM/Transformer Tech from useful statistical inference software to the Godlike / Singularity frontier of Artificial General Intelligence (with recursive self improvement)?

A quite delightful essay by Cory Doctorow; more a gently humorous philosophical light-canter than his more typical (but also reliably excellent) polemical gallop.

The current RF is a malignant scavenger wolf; courtesy of 🇺🇦, wounded and weakened, but still threatening and dangerous. However, the increasing likelihood of the third stage below is what gives Western (and Chinese) institutions sleepless nights.

Options: 1. AI CEOs are idiots, they purposively invented Pandora’s Box 2. AI CEOs are idiots; they invented a Box; didn’t realise that it was Pandora’s; or, 3. AI CEOs are idiots; invented Pandora’s Box. It is a bit disappointing. They need time to work out the ROI on the debt mountain?”.

And, another thing…What’s with all the passive voice employed by AI Corp CEOs in re their Doomerism expectorations. “There is a 10% chance that AI will kill us”. Feck off. Allow me to fix it: “There is a 10% chance that you might kill us, m*therf€cker!”

“Bain & Co says that the only way to make today's AI investments profitable is for the sector to bring in $2 trillion by 2030 (the Journal notes that this is more than the combined revenue of Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia and Meta” (Per Cory Doctorow) This crash is going to hurt.

Lioness s3 is very entertaining. Tense and dramatic throughout (mild cheese allergy on occasion). However, it is interesting to think upon the preconceptions that inform some of the writing. It is particularly ironic in re Ukraine and, to a lesser extent, the countries making up the EU.

The story about beef importation to the US (Trump had a meeting with a Brazilian processor, who is a big donor, and immediately thereafter announced a change in US policy to allow importation of the said processed beef) is quite the bell-weather. How far the US has fallen, and still plummeting…

The member states of the EU is the single wealthiest consumer market in the world. It is the shared strategic goal of Russia, China, and the Trump Admin to weaken and attack the EU and its institutions. Hence their support for La Peine, the AfD, and other domestic PPs that oppose the EU.

The particularly galling thing about the American attempts to intimidate the Canadians is that you basically couldn't wish for a more perfect neighbouring state than Canada - a peaceful, stable, prosperous trading partner and ally with whom there's been no history of conflict within two centuries.
