The UN’s purpose is

“To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace;”- United Nations Charter, Chapter I: Article 1: Section 1

the other sections reference international friendship and equal rights, but section 1 is the meat f why it exists, the UN was created after two World Wars, it’s primary goal is to prevent a third and has so far been overwhelmingly successful.

Yes, a large portion of the episode takes place in the towers.

It’s a great book if you can get past that to the first line of the book.

It’s not the earliest episode I saw, but it is on that definitely dates you if you saw it on TV, they haven’t had it in syndication for 23 years.

“We are all susceptible to the pull of viral ideas. Like mass hysteria. Or a tune that gets into your head that you keep humming all day until you spread it to someone else. Jokes. Urban legends. Crackpot religions. Marxism. No matter how smart we get, there is always this deep irrational part that makes us potential hosts for self-replicating information.” ― Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash

I saw “The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson” on TV.

Flat Screens are just a conspiracy to make us complacent, with high latency and accept that the absence of light is the same as dark gray lite.

Yes very human readable. All the “benefits” blockchain are in a properly managed database, but the database takes about the power of 3 or 4 lightbulbs to manage, the Blockchain takes as much power as Ireland.

AGI Artificial General Intelligence doesn’t exist that is what people think of in sci-fi like Data or Hal. LLM or Large Language Models like CHAT GPT are the hallucinating chat bots, they are just more convincing than the previous generations. There are lots of other AI models that have been used for years to solve large data problems.

Never get involved in a land war in Asia, never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line, and never fuck with AMERICA’S BOATS!

NFTs aren’t the solution to this, public read access to the database is.

A LLM is terrible for molecular analysis, AI can be used but not LLM.

So does English, in Russian Putin’s name is Путин.

Your forgetting about his Tactile Telekinesis.

He could have sold red masks to match his hats, he would have made a killing, the Jan 6 insurrectionists would have covered their faces. turns out his stupid countered his evil.

poor bastard was failed by the US schools, he doesn’t even know what country LA is in.

Not the guillotine news I was expecting in 2024, but I’ll take it.
