Police in the North of Ireland definitely aren’t unarmed

The fuck are you on about? Easily one of the most popular rally cars and belongs in a class of popular classics: eg. Mk2 escorts, evos, classic minis, etc. This is in Ireland at least… don’t know about rest of the world

Also thought this when reading the article, multiple times I’ve had entire journies turn into a nightmare because of train not coming, 2/3/more hour late trains, and yeah local transport is a joke sometimes. The worst is the state of some the stations, Bonn is like a fucking drug camp sometimes and it seems that police and transport staff won’t do anything to make it safer or better

Also America and many other western countries for enabling and continuing to support them blindly.

This isn’t quite normal, usually at these facilities in the case of 15, 22, and 20 especially show that the workers are not carrying out proper regular assessment and that the criteria for euthanasia for excessive suffering looks to be far to high. I only know the case of how this kind if testing is handled with mice (from my partner, and in germany) and all three of these cases would have been euthanized much earlier, not left to live on for a year or even days. As usual with Musk, he tries to cut corners and it only ends up hurting people and in this case animals unecessarily.

The true MVP of this post

I watched the vid, what is up with the journalists’ responses. Some guy is in prison in iran (the important story) and they’re getting offended about their professionalism being attacked?? What do the want the guy to say? That we’re dispatching seal team six? If the guy wasn’t there on official EU business then of course Swedish government should be the lead?

It’s definitely creating more of a case to defederate from it if it ever tries to federate

Did you read the article? I will point out that we have/are working on quantum safe encryption algorithms so this is kind of unecessary doom and gloom. I actually work in this area and tbh the algorithms are ready to be implemented whenever companies want to. NIST QSC competition: https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/post-quantum-cryptography

In fact algorithms like AES are still quantum safe as long as key sizes are increased sufficiently

Oooof. IMO this list is not correctly ranked at all… how can lost, stranger things, etc. be top 10??? They got a lot of the correct series in the top 40 I guess, but the ranking is awful

Is there a way we could poll this in the community to get a better ranking?

Why is this news, from the article this looks to be a fairly “routine” event? Not that I support Russia, but I imagine NATO forces are also engaging in similar behaviour somewhere else?

Yes, all because of western hatred, fuck all to do with the people who invaded in the first place. They’re all imperalist fucks but takes like this on the situation are just completely braindead.

That shit pisses me off cause I named my home machines after them and now I can’t do it cause I expect people to ask if I’m copying him ffs

I also wonder this but would like to also add a caveat; has any world leader or politician been a trekkie?

Close on the values of trek (humanism) would certainly be the Irish president for me (Michael D. Higgins). Unfortunately though the Irish president doesn’t hold much legal power

I seem to remember similar comments a year and a half ago…

Why, because you say so?

This is just being obtuse and a bit of a cunt. You can’t expect not to have negative reprecusions as an affect of companies being allowed to just churn out as much AI generated shit as they can. Especially since you also say:

companies are already bound by lots of laws governing their behaviour and ultimately it’s their behaviour that is what’s important to control.

Please read what you’ve again but slowly this time. You’re saying you’re fine with all the other regulation, but it shouldn’t be done here cause of individual liberties when i’ve clearly stated free use can be specifically allowed for here…

Yes, because that means I can also use it without limit.

You’ve again stated your problem when i’ve given a more than sensible solution. Individual free use is fine, why would anyone want to stop you, individually or even with your friends, being creative? The problems comes when companies with huge resources, influence, and nefarious motives decide to use it. How about this time we get ahead of it instead of letting things get out of control then trying to do something about it?

I mean there has to be a price to pay here, we can’t have our cake and eat it unfortunately. Caveats like “individual use” could allow this type of use while prevent companies taking the piss.

You seem to be implying that the government is the ruling class too, which (I grant you) may at least in part be the case but at least they’re voted into place. Would you rather have companies that we have no control over realistically use it without limit?

Honest question, what would you see as a fair way to handle the situation?

I don’t think it should be allowed to be trained off any of this stuff for entertainment/art/etc. at all. Like the dream future of AI was all the shitty boring stuff handled for us so we could sit back, chill and focus on arts, real scientific research, general individual betterment etc.

Instead we have these companies trying to get them doing all the art and interesting things whilst we all either have no job, money, or good standard of living, or the dangerous / shitty jobs.

Yes, I expect much change in the house of commons as a result if this debate… /s

What the fuck is the point of these petitions anyways, never seen a single one amount to anything, and the moment they removed the ability to no confidence the PM via the petition it lost all potency.

If you’re gonna have petitions make them proper, direct democracy style.
