That so many adverse effects have shown up almost immediately has come as something of a surprise. The scale and seriousness were not expected and the concern has been and REMAINS the long-term effects.
The Technocratic Agenda Of Digitizing All Genetic Sequences On Earth For Profit And The AI Existential Threat
What Are The Biggest Perceived Dangers Of AI?
As with every technological advancement, generative artificial intelligence tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, image generator Midjourney or Claude, the chatbot created by AI startup Anthropic, are used for productivity and creation as well as increasingly for scams and abuse.
Among this new wave of malicious content, deepfakes are especially noteworthy. These artificially generated audiovisual content pieces include voter scams via impersonating politicians or the creation of nonconsensual pornographic imagery of celebrities.
AI models could be able to “replicate and survive in the wild” by 2025
As AI seems to grow more powerful daily, one of the main people invested in making it smarter is saying that it might soon become self-sustaining and self-replicating.
In a podcast interview with the New York Times’ Ezra Klein, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei discussed “responsible scaling” of the technology — and how it may start to breed without governance. The video player is currently playing an ad. With a mouse or keyboard, you can skip the ad in 5 seconds. As Amodei explained to Klein, Anthropic uses virology lab biosafety levels as an analogy for AI. He says the world is at ASL 2 — and ASL 4, which would include “autonomy” and “persuasion,” may be just around the corner.
Forecasters warn of coming Atlantic hurricane season being one of the most destructive on record
The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season is likely to be destructive and costly and could be one of the busiest on record.
That’s the consensus of at least four major forecasting services, all of which point to conditions in the tropical Pacific and Atlantic hurricane formation zone that are ripe for tropical storm harvest. The latest to join the chorus were the meteorologists who assembled the outlook for the Weather Channel. On Thursday, they called for 24 named storms, those with winds of 39 mph or higher, and 11 hurricanes, with winds of at least 74 mph. Six of those are forecast to be “major” hurricanes, with peak winds of 111 mph or higher.

We are now “Playing God” with the Atmosphere

Early reports of the weather event prompted some speculation that it was worsened by a controversial weather-modification technology.
Ukraine is a money laundry scheme.
As Lyndsey Graham said yesterday, Trump helped pass the bill to give Ukraine money. That's why Johnson was visiting him last week when he said "Trump and I agree 100%" They sure did agree. Trump is just another RINO. He's recently changed his mind on so many issues. Like abortion, Israel and Ukraine. He is only running for President to get donations to pay his enormous legal bills.
