Why #Russia will never attack the #EU:

I know there is a lot of #military and patriotic #propaganda out there and the military industrial complex is on the rise because everyone wants to arm themselves because of the Russian #threat.

Let's pause for a moment and think about the reasons why #war is still being waged today:

1) The number one reason is still #religion. Religion serves to unite one's own #community, but is also always a demarcation against others. In Europe and Russia, religion only plays a subordinate role and the churches are struggling with insignificance.

2) The second important reason is natural #resources. Western Europe has long since used up its natural resources and is therefore plundering other countries, mainly in #Africa. Russia has enough natural resources of its own.

3) Population growth so that new living spaces are needed. In #Europe and #Russia, the #population is declining. As a result, many families only have one child and they don't want to lose it to the war.

4) Important geostrategic positions. Europe is losing importance. Russia's most important trading partners are in #Asia. Europe is strategically insignificant.

Europe is increasingly losing importance and therefore wants to feel important militarily. For Russia, an attack would bring no advantage and only high losses. Russia can infiltrate the weakened political system in Europe much more easily by manipulating elections and causing social unrest with propaganda. This hybrid warfare is much more successful than an open war.

Trump Threatens New York Times, Penguin Random House over Critical Coverage

Legal letter follows complaints aimed at CBS News, the Washington Post, and the Daily Beast.

The letter, addressed to lawyers at the New York Times and Penguin Random House, arrived a week before the election. Attached was a discursive ten-page legal threat from an attorney for Donald Trump that demanded $10 billion in damages over “false and defamatory statements” contained in articles by Peter Baker, Michael S. Schmidt, Susanne Craig, and Russ Buettner.

qqqwwqqs### "The U.N. building should be closed and wiped off from the face of the earth," says Israel’s (now former) United Nations ambassador

Israel’s Gilad Erdan, who fancies himself as a future leader of the ruling Likud Party has called for the destruction of the United Nations building in New York, after going on various tirades against a number of organs of the United Nations and their criticism of Israeli war crimes in the #Gaza Strip.

"This building, which may look nice from the outside, is actually twisted and distorted,” said Erdan, whose successor, Danny Ben Yosef Danon, just took over on Monday.

On his future plans, Erdan said he sees himself leading the right-wing Likud Party after controversial Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

#Amsterdam municipality bans #Telegram on work phones over criminal use, #espionage #threat

source: https://nltimes.nl/2024/08/19/amsterdam-municipality-bans-telegram-work-phones-criminal-use-espionage-threat

Telegram is a “safe haven for hackers, cybercriminals, and drug dealers,” a spokesperson for Amsterdam’s IT alderman Alexander Scholtes told the broadcaster. The city is also concerned about possible espionage through the app, even though it no longer has official ties to #Russia. Telegram was set up in Russia, but the head office has since moved to #Dubai, and the #company is officially located in the Virgin Islands.

British astronomer Sir Martin Rees warned us about all this ~ including gray goo entropy~ in his prophetic 2004 book, Our Final Hour. In it, Rees also talks about the possibility of a runaway disaster occurring from a #CERN / Fermilab type of experiment provoking atomic disassembly throughout the entire #universe and the #collapse of #space itself.

#Now at this moment the question of #unhinged, #uncontrollable #nanorobots is uppermost.

Yes, #humanity must quickly put aside all our internal conflicts and focus on our #common existential #threat. Pointing fingers at what particular people believe is the particular human perpetrator behind all this is idiotic.

It is like fiddling while Rome burns.

This is not about humans hurting humans, this is beyond all that.

It is about something profoundly #non-human and #anti-human threatening our entire species with extinction. At the same time we should not despair because all things require energy to survive, including machines. Since nanorobots and WBAN must steal our electromagnetic energy and our ATP to run themselves, if we could figure out a way to cut off their power supply whilst sustaining our own life-force we would be in with a chance. We should not give in to fatalism.

#AI - based #disinformation is probably not a major #threat to #democracy

source: https://www.conspicuouscognition.com/p/ai-based-disinformation-is-probably

Second, to succeed in such markets, content producers must achieve a good reputation (in the eyes of their target audience). One of many things that makes this really hard is that it is strongly in the interests of your competitors to destroy your reputation. In addition to legal accountability for lies and fabrications, this is one thing that keeps lots of media honest, at least when it comes to reporting on narrow matters of fact.

AI-based disinformation is probably not a major threat to democracy

Alarmism surrounding this topic is driven by popular but mistaken views about psychology, democracies, and disinformation.

This #Python malware is a complex threat in the world of cyber threats. It goes to great lengths to hide its tracks, disable security measures, and exfiltrate a plethora of personal and sensitive information. Its multiple layers of obfuscation and multifaceted approach make it a noteworthy subject of study for security researchers and a serious concern for end-users alike.

The real threat of AI

Get a clue, says panel about buzzy AI tech: It’s being ‘deployed as surveillance’

Thanks to @dianea for the original post

FTA: Don’t get so distracted by the promise and threats associated with the future of AI. It is not magic, it’s not fully automated and — per Whittaker — it’s already intrusive beyond anything that most Americans seemingly comprehend.

The AI isn't as intelligent as you think. In addition to massive amounts of training (it would take a human 5,000+ years of uninterrupted reading -- over 10,000 years of reading if they were allowed to eat, sleep, and have a life -- to read everything on which GPT has been trained) these systems require a tremendous amount of hand-holding during training:

Said Hanna: “We know from reporting . . .that there is an army of workers who are doing annotation behind the scenes to even make this stuff work to any degree — workers who work with Amazon Mechanical Turk, people who work with [the training data company] Sama — in Venezuela, Kenya, the U.S., actually all over the world . . .They are actually doing the labeling, whereas Sam [Altman] and Emad [Mostaque] and all these other people who are going to say these things are magic — no. There’s humans. . . .These things need to appear as autonomous and it has this veneer, but there’s so much human labor underneath it.”

But here's what you really need to know:

Her message was that, enchanted as the world may be now by chatbots like ChatGPT and Bard, the technology underpinning them is dangerous, especially as power grows more concentrated by those at the top of the advanced AI pyramid. [emphasis mine]

Said Whittaker, “I would say maybe some of the people in this audience are the users of AI, but the majority of the population is the subject of AI . . .This is not a matter of individual choice. Most of the ways that AI interpolates our life makes determinations that shape our access to resources to opportunity are made behind the scenes in ways we probably don’t even know.” [emphasis mine]

As the old saying goes, If you aren't the customer, then you're the product.

The reason AI is scary is not because it's smart, but because you are the product.

'Godfather of AI' Says He's Done, Is Scared by AI

According to Dr. Geoffrey Hinton, it's hard to stop 'bad actors' from doing 'bad things' with AI

Dr. Geoffrey Hinton is an AI pioneer, but according to a new interview, he's beginning to feel a bit like Victor Frankenstein studying his monstrous creation. "It is hard to see," Hinton tells the New York Times, "how you can prevent the bad actors from using it for bad things." Hinton, who 11 years ago collaborated with a pair of graduate assistants at the University of Toronto to make the tech that underlies many AI systems today, tells the Times he's quit a position he held at Google in order to speak out about the growing AI threat. Hinton says he regrets what he's done. "I console myself with the normal excuse: If I hadn't done it, somebody else would have."
