- What did you do because of it?

Obviously, I shared it on these Hallowed Yellow Pages for the intellectual stimulation of people, some of whom I've known for 20 years.... wait, I think I'll just go commit Hara-kiri now.

But hey, while I'm at it, if you do overcome your fear of new information, your preconceived prejudices, even momentarily, you might actually get something of your own out of the presentation.

Or not. Up to you.

The vid is actually quite well done; it starts out briefly hitting China's massive Surveillance and Control of the Population program, and their shipping it to the US via Tic Toc... then quoting Musk and other AI types on the dangers of AI.

Quickly moving to Prof Harari's book, 'Homo Deus; A History Tomorrow', the author of, 'Sapiens'.

(Yuval Noah Harari is an Israeli historian and philosopher. He is considered one of the world's most influential public intellectuals working today.

Born in Israel in 1976, Harari received his Ph.D. from the University of Oxford in 2002. He is currently a lecturer at the Department of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and a Distinguished Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge's Centre for the Study of Existential Risk.

Harari co-founded the social impact company Sapienship, focused on education and storytelling, with his husband, Itzik Yahav.)

He'll be demanding a Purple Heart for those imaginary bone spurs in his next 3AM rant.

"Democrats are slammed by the president.

Trump further took issue with Democrats, calling them "Weak and Pathetic Democrats, TRAITORS ALL," who had long warned about the dangers from Iran but now criticized his efforts.

"They for years have been talking about the Dangers of Iran, and that something has to be done, but now, since I'm the one doing it, they belittle the accomplishments of our Military and the Trump Administration," he said."

;;

The traitor is in the WH... no Dem ever told his DOJ to rig the Election for him as Trump did.

DJT has helped both Russia and China with this debacle, and is still praising China while they help Iran target US Forces.

He'll be lucky to get the Agreement Obama had, which he tore up... and Iran will end up owning the Straits, which they never did before.

If Rwingers were better shots, we wouldn't be at war so we could pay more for gas.

One s'poses that the oil companies have to be repaid for their bribes, though.

Thanks! But after I posted, I sorta regretted not having thought of, "Cum Loudly".

Doc or Lee would have!

Joe Rogan, Sec of State?

Would NOT be surprised!

CACKLING! (Hillary-style)

- Makes me think

Apparently not... it should be obvious that if you wanted to turn the information into actionable wisdom, you would needs be actually consume the said information first.

Am I right?

I mean, what I did with it may not be what you might do with it, eh?

But hey, your dedicated obfuscations to avoid the information?

That's Entertainment!

Trump has PhD, too!

Pedo High Diploma! He graduated Cum Laude.

Over 40 percent of Texans are Hispanic.... cities there aren't as stupid as the total douche that is Greg Abbott.

- He's definitely not the first person to be called the anti christ...

He's the only person who matches ALL of the biblical descriptions perfectly... some of which I linked for you in #34. You know, the ones you neither read nor watched.

Same to you, Sitzbath... none of those match all the descriptions.

- I'm going to assume it's not.

It's a cool video... happy now?

Although, that's not your original question at all.

It's a silly question given you are asking how something you haven't seen effects me having seen it... duh.

You assume you have information that you don't have to compare to my experience.

It's like asking how someone likes a flavor you haven't tried... there is no basis point for your comparison to their response.

So, again, it's basically just a rhetorical question... a question asked for dramatic effect rather than to elicit an answer.

You know better.

'I don't doubt your sincerity.
I doubt your relevance'... and the relevance of your question.

Double evasion is still evasion.

Information of all sorts can be useful... there are actually several Christians on this site, including as I noted, the Owner, who might enjoy perusing the vid and the links.

But the info on the topics at the thread link and the comments on Chinese, soon to be US Surveillance, in post #2, are self explanatory.

Of course, you not having seen the thread link video, or even the Times links... what you might gain from me describing my take would seem to be... infinitesimal.

Perhaps you'd like to review them and give us your take rather than asking for mine first?

Then it might seem a relevant question.

Note to self:

Send JP'whipped Definitions of 'Arguments' vs 'Assertions'.

- religious garbage

Fundie Agnostics! They Know because they Know... pretty nice werk if you can get it!

#33

Never happened.

But this is happening now:

I'm sure you'll want to 'nostic-'splain to us how DJT doesn't fit ALL these examples, which are only some of many:

#30

The number to ID the Beast, 666, matches the name of Nero:

#28

He's doing the same to this country, and to whatever other parts of the rest of the world he can manage.

In the meantime, the first part of the thread video is the creators and movers in AI pointing out that they aren't in control of AI.

And we have China taking DNA samples of their population for surveillance purposes, setting up an AI-based economic control sof their population, and exporting said control to other countries, including the US via Tic-Toc...

... as the post and Time articles in #2 documents.

#26

Yet another common assertion... merely rhetorical.

#23

Now, see? There's a spectacular Argument!

That's just another weak assertion, not an argument of anything... most like a non sequitur, or just another strawman.

So, yeah, I might as well be arguing with myself as you have none.

"The U.S. committed roughly 80% of its JASSM-ER stealth cruise missile inventory to the Iran fight, pulling stockpiles from the Pacific to feed it. The conflict significantly depleted U.S. supplies of Tomahawk and Patriot missiles, THAAD interceptors and drones.

Beijing got a free masterclass in modern American warfighting: how we use AI to target, how we rotate carrier groups, how cheap Iranian drones drain our most expensive interceptors.

For Chinese war planners gaming out a Taiwan invasion, it was better than any simulation.

On energy, China emerged as a huge winner of the ongoing Hormuz shockwaves.

As Ian Bremmer points out, America's allies saw the U.S. pull missile defense assets from South Korea, leave allies in Asia without Patriot coverage, and shift naval power from the Pacific to the Gulf.

The message received in Seoul, Tokyo, Canberra and Taipei: American security commitments have an asterisk.

China's AI push got a clear boost from the war's second-order financial consequences."

Many more pluses for China at the Axios thread link.

Historians will likely be calling this, "Trump's Folly".

Assigning a fact not in evidence is a straw man.... yours is an opinion, not a fact.

Earlier on Sunday, US President Donald Trump said that Iran has committed a "serious violation" of the ceasefire, but still thinks he can get a peace deal, ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl posted on X/Twitter.

On Sunday afternoon, Trump told Axios that he is optimistic about the talks with Iran. "I feel fine about it. The concept of the deal is done. I think we have a very good chance to get it completed," he said."

Why would anyone negotiate with the World's Greatest Liar?

- something you love perceiving in yourself.

This is assigning a position aka a strawman fallacy.

My arguments here have been in response to mostly attacks for having different opinions than the majority here, rather than to arguments.

S'ok, the site owner is a Christian; actually a very Universalist Christian.

He must be a laughable lying dumbass who should go F himself, too, right?
