I find it funny that everyone complains that Europeans currently just talk and never act.. Every time Europeans acted, it ended in either a world war, of half of the war colonized.. So not sure if you really want Europeans to act..
I'm not sure how we went from the "act" being "invest in their own defense" to "start ww3" but I am quite confident no one is complaining they are not doing that, lol.
Humans being the same everywhere, the ideal condition of "we can defend ourselves, yet have no expansionist tendencies" doesn't tend to keep the words after the comma for very long.
This is also why anarchies are not very stable.
The international order, with each nation being kinda like an individual person, has few enough actors that the distinctions between "anarchy", "democracy", and "dictatorship" are blurry.
Germany? Hell no. We need CE + Nordics to have a unified front and to keep West and East in check. Nordics + Poland + Czech Rep + Ronania and maybe a few smaller countries is the sweet spot.
There are nukes in Germany. The US has put them there. The Germans will soon have the F-35 and then when America gives the word, if she does, the Germans will be dropping those nuclear weapons. These aren't secrets.
Half of the internet is down. That's what you get for giving up the control of the service that suppose to be decentralized to one company. Good, maybe if it costs companies few billions they will not put all eggs in one basket.
What if that's the hell or heaven some of us were told about?
If you live a good life, having it flashed in front of you could be a calming thing, but if you've been a person that caused lots of pain to other people, being reminded of it in the last few seconds of your life — that's a hellish experience.
However, what if you've been a generally good person but were a subject of rape or some heinous crimes — having to relive that again... that's even worse than hell..
Even without AGI, current LLMs will change society in ways we can't yet imagine. And this is both good and bad. Current LLMs are just a different type of automation, not mechanical like control systems and robots, but intellectual. They don't have to be able to think independently, but as long as they automate some white-collar tasks, they will change how the rest of society works. The simple transistor is just a small electronic component that is a better version of a tube, and yet it changed everything in a few decades. How will the world change because of LLMs? I have no idea, but I know it doesn't have to be AGI to cause a lot of upheaval.
The images contain date of the example report - 2023. Can we assume that the current HP laptops already gather all that information and store them, and the new "feature" is just a new way of extracting money from something they are already doing
