Also, good morning LAGLers!

Today i’ve installed Firefox + Privacy Badger + Ad Nauseam on my smartphone after a funny(?) incident where a random search at pornhub ended up as a surreal suggestion at my YouTube in a matter of hours. Other than laughing at the bizarreness of tracking algorythms and the Internet both white and gray, that incident has determined me to stop being tracked on the phone too.

Oh, seriously?

In other news, an American magazine published since 1888 dives into its archives to find out that it was mirroring the society that would buy its issues, with results unacceptable by today’s moral standards. Shocking.

Funny fact: did you know that NG’s deals with Kodak were the reason why NG used to picture lots of people with red clothes, to the point that some photographers would bring red clothes for the people featured in articles? This was because Kodak’s Kodachrome technology allowed to capture on film vibrant reds, whereas other films used to have trouble with red, and so Kodak made deals with magazines to use Kodachrome and show off its capabilities…

Race is not a biological construct, as writer Elizabeth Kolbert explains in this issue, but a social one that can have devastating effects. “So many of the horrors of the past few centuries can be traced to the idea that one race is inferior to another,” she writes. “Racial distinctions continue to shape our politics, our neighborhoods, and our sense of self.”

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Society’s perception of reality is not always as good as it can be or , it is not always as good as it should be.
For instance, during mass extinction, it would help society to be more in touch with reality and so to be better prepared to survive such social problem instead of having to suffer the effect of mass extinction.

Race is meant as a biological fact, and the social implication related to it are not all that good.
Most of them are in fact used in reverse, the other way around than it should be.

It’s for the same reasons that to try to take unfair advantage to enrich oneself is not only an unacceptable moral standard, it’s also of low moral value.
In case of mass extinction, those behavior will come more prevalent.
This has not much to do with race, but social factors will be involved, more based on luck than scientific facts.

The problem is, as in all thing, including moral or morals, plural, or health, it is that, to take something negatively causes negative results, and creates negative impacts, followed by negative consequences.
As one may say:
Honi soit qui mal y pense.
In the sense that, to take something negatively, and to think badly of something, is ground enough to refuse the person doing it the right to be present, or to associate.

There are good factors in races, and it shouldn’t be taken out of context, the same as the mixing of races should not be overly taken out of context and made out to be worst than it is, or that it can be.
It may not be intended to be less desirable for eternity, and the cause and effect of it may well be more limited in scope and time.

AutoCAD and CASE logic tools are artificial intelligence tools, used by architects and system designers, and engineers, as well as Millwright now.

  • I want my child to be able to find its own perception of the systems on the planet and beyond.
    I want to facilitate this, yes, but not hinder it with my own ways which might interfere negatively against its perception.
    They’re talking about AI as if it was a child, although it is something which those responsible for creating it have insurance and can be liable in case of failure, including if the insurance covers for it.
    I certainly won’t be working towards trying to impress my child rather than be more effective.
    Of course, this may be necessary if one wants to make AI programs and systems.

It looks as though they want to hold parents responsible for the garbage propagated to their children by other parties who are getting paid for it.
It may not be hard for parents to detects intentions to cause delays for the development of their children, which they can use against the perpetrator or parties causing delays.
That is not only related to AI but IQ and EQ (emotional quotient), none of which are not related to medical science and research and development, also works good with DARPA.

HAL may not always be your pal.
The narrator mentions, it’s ok for a parent (mother) to be afraid for what she doesn’t know.
However, she knew it didn’t have the same medical insurance laws.

If AI does endanger human and when it does, war can be declared against it.
We will most likely use other systems to defeat the rogue or “malfunctioning” system, to disable it’s autonomous control.
Electronic warfare already does this.
There are many workplace accidents, where people die from tools or conditions almost infinitely more simple, such as heights, and mechanisms like wheels.
I currently work at heights, at around 8 feet above the ground, and there is no harness or belts to hold me up there. If I fall asleep because I am too tired from lack or rest, for whatever reasons, I may die or get injured at work from a fall.
It’s also very slippery and full of grease and has to be degreased every weeks.


how can the 2nd be applied to waging EVE Online wars and controlling it’s processes and outcomes, win or lose or not?

I don’t need negative subliminal messages to have a health system which is scientifically sound so that I can use it to sell system services.
Of course, the competition may want to use it for war, but it can be used against them.
Of course, it can be worth more than they got paid for if it is better than them, even if it was never paid for yet.
They try to take financial advantage by competing to get funding while better systems are discarded, seized, forfeited or while they seek to forfeit them, to control financial systems and attempt to do so.
It can be very useful to find those and use them for new more efficient systems.

I rather deal with better reputable insurance and creditors.

I disagree that people feel together while they speak utter non-sense.
Perhaps, medical systems are able to care for them and improve their life in the future and present, or past, but the previous condition is not good.

There are evident reasons why people need medical care, that is besides the reasons which do exist and that are not evident, and also the risk for the reasons which are existing potential for health complication increasing the death possibilities.

Considering how much easier it is for signals to travel compared to greater mass and lifeforms, signals are easier to receive than find traces of bacteria, even if they are dead.
