That's the issue. A lot of these undoubtedly smart people are going back home and start working for companies developing technologies aimed at dismantling the western civilization as we know it.

So firstly, I'm not in tech anymore so this is just trivially not true for me (I study animals and most of the people I meet are similar fields). Secondly, there's no company where their goal is destroying "western civilization" (though I'm sure they also have a very sketchy "defense" sector). If there is, they are currently being outcompeted by US tech firms anyway.

The most potent and impactful agent "dismantling the western civilization as we know it" is not on foreign soil.

As opposed to the holy and righteous goal of destroying middle-eastern civilization, one that can be only truly pursued by working for U.S. defense contractors.

Understandable. But the question I don't see anyone asking, and I really want answered, is how will they identity? I'm not a good singer at all. Recently I wrote a song, uploaded the music to Suno and it created nice music and composition. I downloaded the individual layers of music, sent the vocal to another app that changed it to my voice. Put everything together and it sounds like me singing.

Some of the AI applications may sign the data in a purposefully detectable way.

Other than that no idea.

With this said, this may be more of a reason to get rid of the AI trash slop that scammers use to attempt to make money, gum up the platform with, and not actually ban people that make decently good AI based songs.


How many COVID shots did you get? I noticed my resting heart rate go up after the first one. So I never got another one.

When your immune system activity increases, generally so does your heart rate. It's fairly common to get sick and have an increased heart rate. A quick search for "heart rate when sick" will turn up a number of results explaining this, the mechanisms behind it, and more.

Sorry you missed out on simple, effective preventative health measures because of this misunderstanding.


It lasted over 6 months. My resting heart rate has been 52 for over 2 decades. Months after the shot it was up to 75 and stayed there for over 6 months. Slowly crept back to 52.

I got two. But these events started to happen 4 years after my last shot.

An immune response to any trigger temporarily increases the heart rate.

Or Covid itself.

COVID vaccines (and various other vaccines), often cause flu-like symptoms for a day or so; you should've been warned about this at the time. Pretty much anything that gives you a fever will boost your heart rate a bit.

Why is this being downvoted? This is the perfect analogy.


Yes I'm sure that "non exclusive" partnership is exactly that, wink wink!


Judicial Authoritarianism.


> dictator

Can we stop overusing this term? It has already lost it's significance. Every political leader you don't agree with is a dictator nowadays. What kind of shitty dictator he is anyways if he is being shut down by courts left and right, and has to shut down the government waiting for the Congress to approve budget? You do know that dictators don't give a fuck about courts and parliaments?


UK has a much smaller coastline, so it might be more cost efficient for them to install extra radars. Also I'm sure the wind turbines interfere in acoustic submarine detection due to the noise they generate.


Yes, and I'm assuming the power plant that was providing electricity to the aluminum plant also wants to recover their investment.

It would be cool if all this residual heat could be concentrated to smelt aluminum!


You are kidding right? I'm sorry for assuming. But you have to be kidding. Bitcoin has been around 100k USD all this year. And about 450 Bitcoin are mined everyday, and this doesn't even include the Bitcoin miners get from transaction fees. So, there's about 45 million USD worth of Bitcoin being mined per day. I can go into profit calculations, but at the end of the day it comes down to how much you are paying for electricity.
