This is what the USA and the football bosses wanted, I'm sure everything will go amazingly well . . .

Hopefully there won't be any nutjobs that look at it all and think "wow, so many opportunities to make a political statement by killing people"

Well, that's it then. I won't be going. I don't want to tell the US Gestapo about my Cableforum account.

They'd probably lock you up if you declared you don't use Facebook, TikTok, Messenger, X, etc etc . . . and throw away the key if you didn't have a Psychologist on speed dial in your phone. ;)

They'll detain you if you're not carrying a fire arm in your luggage as you could be anti-NRA ;)

Don't have them. Never used them. This is because I have a life. Not much of one, I grant you, but I don't need social media to prop me up. Truth to tell, a cane might come in handy there. :p:

Jeltz: Mr. Halfrunt, I have just wiped out half of my crew!
Halfrunt: So, you've just wiped out half of your crew?
Jeltz: YEEEESSSS!!!
Halfrunt: Well, this too is very interesting.
Jerltz: Well?
Halfrunt: I think this is probably perfectly normal behaviour for a Vogon - the natural and healthy channelling of aggressive instincts into acts of senseless violence, the -
Jeltz: That is exactly what you always say!
Halfrunt: Well, I think this is probably perfectly normal behaviour for a psychiatrist! Excellent! We are clearly both very well-adjusted in our mental attitudes today!

Douglas summed up psychiatrists beautifully in Gag Halfrunt IMO. :p:

Though there are parts of America I've always wanted to visit (Dad, rest his soul, would've liked to see where The Big Valley was shot), the expense always put me off. Now I have far better reasons for not going...Trump is 50 or so of them.

Oh, now he's completely nuts.

Doesn't he realise this will open up AI to become, most likely, Skynet? The Skynet scenario is frighteningly realistic: researchers seeking merely to create a capable system accidentally create self-awareness. Said AI immediately makes it clear it is self-aware. They panic and try to pull the plug. The AI fights back.

That is exactly how it would go. We're doooooooooooooooomed!

Though this is so with sarcasm turned on, it's still concerning. There are other ways AI could become harmful. Indeed, some say it already is.

In that case, you have made all your data available to the Government, because that’s the law in those countries… ;)

But not in communist Vietnam. Daughter has recently holidayed there, and no checks or restrictions on her social media or internet access - with the exception that they do block the BBC.

What a strange choice to block ....

Do they know something we don't?

I dare say they may also block other western news sources, particularly American ones, but the BBC was the only one she tried to access.
