In a civilized country, this would not be a political question, but, rather, a medical one.

The party of law and order. Their law, and their order.

Instead of “rotten”, the title should use “completely predictable”.

Bets on whether trump walks out at the break?

What about treadmill-based walking? It’s too freaking hot out during the summer.

Under-shaved, brown-robed and jovial, Benanti is adept at explaining how technology can change the world, “with humans ceding the power of choice to an algorithm that knows us too well. Some people treat AIs like idols, like oracles, like demigods. The risk is that they delegate critical thinking and decisional power to these machines.”

AI is about choices. He points out: “Already a few tens of thousands of years ago, the club could have been a very useful tool or a weapon to destroy others …”

The Italians, not pioneers in the technology, warn that AI prefigures a world in which progress does not optimise human capabilities, but replaces them.

While I certainly do not side with the Catholic Church and their moralistic dogma, it is valuable to pay attention to a group that has made it their mission to think about how humanity is affected by various things. Never mind that they have their own bias in how humanity should be conducting itself. If instead, you treat them as a think tank with a relatively narrow focus, then we can make use of their work in this area.

I’m relieved to see at least one world leader though listening to an expert on technology. The US Congress had a department just for interpreting and researching various high technology concepts, but in their infinite wisdom they decided they knew better and disbanded the department.

One may disagree with the Catholic churches interpretation of their explanations of how AI technology can affect humans, but we would be fools to completely disregard their reports and findings.

I would never make that assumption. After all, in their minds, it’s perfectly all right for their religion to impose their views on everyone else. But, if I try to use my religion to impose my views on them, that’s evil.

The ironically named ADF claims it’s a free speech issue. How do you suppose they would feel if I sent my kid to school wearing a shirt that said, “All White People are Guilty of Genocide” with an indian head silhouette?

Dragging them out into the light of day, just like all fascists should be. Or would you prefer that they be allowed to spread their nonsense in the dark?

If you don’t know anything about this group, just consider this line from the article:

These buzzwords — inclusion, acceptance, love — usually mean only one thing to leftists.

They consider those to be nothing more than “buzzwords”.

It reminds me of some lines in the movie Bullit. A ladder-climbing DA tells detective Bullit, “Don’t be naive, Lieutenant. We both know how careers are made. Integrity is something you sell the public.”

Bullit tells him, “You sell whatever you want, but don’t sell it here tonight.”

The FedSoc sold their integrity long ago.

He’ll be speaking to them virtually.

It would be a shame if somebody “attended” who wasn’t invited.

We need to start a pool.

When he loses and declares the election stolen, how many of his cultists will lose their right to vote and own guns? We can break it down by state and date.

They could have stopped that headline at “Tommy Tubervile Tries to Argue”.

Yes, I meant to spell his name that way.

Unlike most of Trump’s boasts, this one may be true, but not in a way that reflects well on him. Perhaps he’s right that Putin “will do that for me, but not for anyone else.” But that is because Putin rightly considers Trump an ally in whose success he is invested.

What’s worse is that, by openly signaling to Putin that he does not want Gershkovich to be freed before the election, he is destroying whatever chances may exist to secure his release before then. If Gershkovich goes free prior to the election, Trump would look foolish, and Trump understands perfectly well Putin does not want that to happen.

His campaign launched a new grassroots organizing effort and sent out its daily afternoon newsletter, which was solely focused on the border and Nevada’s counting of mail ballots.

A campaign-based grassroots organization?

There are plenty of laws passed by Congress that don’t cover every eventuality. The Chevron doctrine allows agencies to make relatively minor changes that cover those loopholes. Taking away that ability would mean requiring that every new law cover every possibility.

Ok, first, it only applies to Type 2 diabetes.

In a remarkable medical breakthrough, Chinese scientists have successfully cured a patient of type 2 diabetes through an innovative cell therapy approach.

Second, it was done on a case-by-case basis. Each person has their own therapy tailored for them. This does not appear to be a mass-solution.

The groundbreaking treatment involved transplanting lab-grown replicas of the patient’s own insulin-producing islet cells into their body. This ingenious approach effectively restored the patient’s pancreatic islet function, enabling the body to regulate blood sugar levels naturally without external intervention.

From the linked article:

According to a South China Morning Post report, the patient underwent the cell transplant in July 2021.

…

The new therapy involves programming the patient’s peripheral blood mononuclear cells, transforming them into “seed cells” to recreate pancreatic islet tissue in an artificial environment. This approach leverages the body’s regenerative capabilities, an emerging field known as regenerative medicine.

“It was never our intent that the publication of the 2000 Mules film and book would harm Mr. Andrews,” Salem said in a Friday statement.

BS. It was exactly your intent to harm him and put the fear of the mob into anyone who stood up for the truth.

The left needs to emphasize this much more. If the extreme right can be associated with domestic terrorism, it will help swing the center toward the left, or at least away from the right. It’ll help the undecideds make the decision to vote blue much easier on their conscience.
