  • There is no alternative regarding “means of production”, or any other utopian system so far that has actually worked. What the AI revolution will do remains to be seen. Normally what happens in all revolutions, including both the Russian and Chinese revolutions and the internet revolution, is an initial period of idealism. Then gradually you notice old power structures reasserting themselves, often under new names or terms. So the notion of freedom in the sense of a classless society has never existed, and will probably never exist. That does not mean that the world cannot become more fair. But mankind can never be forced to become something it is not. An ideology forced down the throat of all empirical evidence.






  • I am not sure I understood your question. You say we have no defense and therefore we should not pay for it? You say there are no rare earth mines, but there is rare earth both in Norway and on Greenland. Greenland has no infrastructure, and would be very expensive. But Alaska also has rare earth, and it i think has infrastructure and is much nearer silicon valley and china? Norway has huge amounts of rare earth? I am not talking about independence in the sense ties are severed, I am talking about having more than ONE BRAND OF CORNFLAKES. There are those who want to limit the number of cornflakes brands, and force us to eat state cornflakes. This is something we must not allow. It is about avoiding monopolies and potential extortion similar to the gas crisis. It is not about boycotting either the us or china.




  • You are talking about those who pay for something. I am talking about those who cannot pay. So, if those who pay get worse service, they must raise that with their provider, and consider switching. If i get married, it is of no hindrance to your private life, is it? Therefore, allowing others to have something does not detract from your own. In fact, the natural response is to be happy for them. Some people have something which they previously could not afford.



  • Then you use the free video GP, and then you use the diets that are suited to your condition. So at some point you must get to see a doctor. But you will have help with diets, exercises for strained backs, many afflictions that are not terminal, but which can become chronic and disabling and prevent and reduce your income. It could be knees, or strained ankles or high or low blood pressure rooted in unhealthy diet habits. And this will be founded on science. It isnt true that everyone who goes to a doctor is dying. Some elderly people just go because they are lonely, and every little thing makes them nervous. It is then that little conversation that heals. So I am not replacing anything serious, i am placing many home remedies on a scientific footing by allowing an Ai bot to work as intermediary between an ordinary person and articles filled with terminology they do not understand.


  • If you use debian as your base in your new partition, you get a lower pressure on your cpu and gpu, you should then be able to run at least the smallest medgemmi from google, which is free. Or ada. And then all you need to modify is adding your health data. I have an old PC and managed to run the smallest medgemmi (I am not sure about the name). It was slow, but i am not on debian. And i have a shoe string pc, but a small cpu, a very old motherboard. So If you update just slightly, set your os in an ssd on an m2 port, a modest but decent gpu you would in fact get sufficient power to run perhaps even the second largest med lml from google. so 1. reduce overhead small OS, 2. os on m2 port and modest but good gpu.




  • We cannot change Trump, he is what he is. It is the american voters who must decide his fate. But I think better cooperation, less corruption and more honesty would do much. Also, if it is the case that European leaders do not like facebook and american social media, why do they not use European and Canadian social media when they discuss or publish things? Xing? Soundcloud? dailymotion? Spotify? I also think that they complain about Trump in Scandinavian news media, but they do not even mention those countries which they say are going to save them from horrible Trump. Meaning they never cover a single event or debate in the Eu parliament? Most people dont know what they do, it is a shangri-la in which we are told they eat smoked salmon and kaviar and feather their own beds. So people do not know what the EU parliament does, but they do know when trump has been golfing? That is front page news. By simply covering European politics they would create that European awareness which is an obstacle for what they say they want?


  • The way I see it, the money is taken from education and health care in the US and spent on European defense. 1. We don’t agree with the US in many of their wars, why should we then be dependent on the US in defense and why should the US pay? 2. I think the AI revolution may bring uncertainty in the employment market, and that part of the motivation for strange US policies may have something to do with an anticipation of uncertainty. I am not supporting antagonism, I am just saying that this is both in Eu interest AND in US interest that Eu defense spending increases, war or no war. Finally, the long expected shift towards the Asia pacific region is also a fact. The center of the world economy has moved towards Asia.



  • The way i see this is that problem with Ai is the way that a network feeds into it. But you in stead had a local Ai on your pc, which controlled fully, these issues would not be so relevant. So a two step approach would be to use copyright arguments for personal data against the use of aggregated stuff into ai. Meaning that once you delete your account with AI, your data is totally blanked out, and it learnt nothing. But your local AI on your PC might learn, and when you die, you may donate it to your children or have it deleted. And it will then tell your offspring what you wondered about while you lived. But this will your choice.


  • I dont live in the US. But what i expected was that they would implement Ai in those devices that scan or work directly on blood, and also in routine task in organizations. And i also expected some patient communication via Ai chat which feeds directly of your securely stored medical record. So that all advice would have your blood work, your medical statistics, weight, gender, height medical history etc as a foundation for the advice it offers. So while expected it to suggest tests, I expected a price comparison engine similar to pricerunner or kelkoo to provide you with the cheapest options at any time. So AI would suggest diagnosis, but not any provider of test or treatment.


  • Yes, this is something most people dont undertand when they see the TV series. There was much more propaganda in the original stories. In the Eye of Appolo, a woman is tricked into removing her glasses by an evil new age man, and i therefore found dead in an elevator shaft. She fell down. And the new age con man of course has ulterior motives. So because she was blind to God in a way, she ended up dead. Of course, if you are very Christian, this would seem true to you. But for most other people, it would indeed be very annoying. They have stripped the TV series completely of this propaganda subtext. But Father Brown is historically a very very important character.
