He won’t be able to just take control of the Fed without Congress,
Perhaps, but they've abdicated responsibility on everything else so far. I understand that people have hope the normal times will resume, but autocracy has a trajectory. So far, almost nothing has stopped it in the US.
The amount of precise manipulation needed to do something as simple as repair the feeder mechanism on a welder,
If robots can build cars, I'd guess they can manage that.
They day will come when robots can do all the maintenance they need on each other.
The EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) makes Big Tech (like Meta, Google) reveal how they track users, moderate content, and handle disinformation. Most of these companies hate the law and are lobbying against it in Brussels—but except for Twitter (now X), they’re at least trying to follow it for EU users.
Meanwhile, US politics may push Big Tech to resist these rules more aggressively, especially since they have strong influence over the current US government.
AI will be the next big tech divide: The US will likely have little regulation, while the EU will take a much stronger approach to regulating. Growing tensions—over trade, military threats, and tech policies—are driving the US and EU apart, and this split will continue for at least four more years.
The article says the difference is that the human drivers are "on call" self-employed contractors. Therefore not a 'cost' when not being used.
The Russian propaganda seems much more effective with the right-wing people. Is that an AI thing, or are they more susceptible for other reasons?
I'm sick of hearing Musk's plans for it, those will never pan out. But humans are probably destined to leave Earth and spread out someday - that I still think will happen, and is worth considering.
I was wondering would they have over-heating problems, but the energy is so small it can probably be dissipated elsewhere.
As places are limited, they need to focus on those with talent and ability.
If you google Hitler's paintings you can see why he was rejected. They're flat, rigid and lacking in creativity - perhaps not surprising for a fascist megalomaniac. I'm curious to see what the AI will learn here. Lots of ai-generated imagery is technically good, but can it really be said to have creativity?
As radioactive decay can't be stopped, I'm assuming this emits power continuously. Whatever this is used for won't have any On/Off buttons.
I wonder when someone is going to figure how to speed up domestication via gene editing. There's a huge untapped market for exotic pets that could be house trained.
