The war with China is coming and both the US and the UK want to minimize the impact of protests. It will be inevitably nuclear because China cannot be beaten conventionally. So people will feel a bit compelled to protest which could put to test the usual means of population control.

Downvoters, do you have a counter-argument? The US will defend their hegemonial position which will lead to war.

It’s about surveillance. The nudity is a made-up reason.

That being said, my very important stuff is backed up to more than one cloud provider, just in case.

The way things develop, you can’t be sure that you are not banned on all accounts at the same time for political reasons.

Ask for several thousand dollars and go to a third world country where people only earn hundreds per year. Turn those thousands into millions. Easy.

Most Westerners can play Musk’s game in a third world country.

Some comment mentioned that this is for visa free visits whereas visa visits already had that requirement.

I thought that had been required before. What changed?

Does anybody have an idea about how to spread enough knowledge that people can be trusted again to vote in their best interest?

It gives them the opportunity to create their own tools.

People bake and learn basic chemistry. The baseline of general programming knowledge could be more than zero. It’s a fundamental part of our society.

Explicit programmers are needed because the general public has failed to learn programming. Hiding the complexity behind nice interfaces makes it actually more difficult to understand programming.

This comes all from programmers using programs to abstract programming away.

What if the 2030s change the approach and use AI to teach everybody how to program?

People will figure out that the war in Ukraine actually started before 2014.

The point stands, but is this a real account?

It’s single digit billionaires and the study barely touches AI.

56% see geopolitical tensions as highest risk and only 7% fear AI the most.

Does this mean that they misjudge AI or are we that close to WW3?

What about you? What do you need to make a change?

Because people don’t enact the values of Star Trek. People could create a Starfleet Academy and an organisation with Star Trek values but it seems that all fans are eager for WW3 because that is scripture.

we can’t even manage to agree feeding starving kids is important

We don’t have to agree. We essentially live in post democratic times. Some people just have to do it.

Education can be above it all and make it possible.

Just wait.

But it will only last weeks, not decades.

The AI race will use all resources.

I am no expert. What wears the drive down? Depending on the workloads the drives could be ok.
