Funny how jukko posted this in 2018 and now SHTF with AI. PAGING THE TERMINATOR, LINE 1.
Are we all okay with nominating jukk0u as our next NRA Prez?
Well, I could use a new suit, so...

One of the hurdles to the expansion of AI capabilities is the ability to provide sufficient power for the super computers. A fusion nuclear power source is being developed and promises not only enough power for such enormous computers but also a near limitless source of power for everything else.
"On Dec. 5, 2022, a team of researchers...in California recorded data indicating that it had achieved a nuclear fusion reaction that created more energy than it took to produce....
In physics, this is sometimes colloquially referred to as a “free lunch,” meaning a nuclear fusion reactor could one day be scaled to the point where it is capable of producing near-unlimited energy.... that might help us eliminate our dependence on carbon energy and supercharge fields where energy scarcity presents as a roadblock, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing.
But, as science communicator Carl Sagan put it, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”... ...The peer review is in, and according to a report in the APA Physics journal, multiple teams have confirmed and replicated the results."
"Once realized, however, the free availability of so-called next-generation energy sources could supercharge the engineering and development of adjacent technologies such as AI and quantum computing. "

Microsoft will help equip 2 million people with AI skills in India by 2025, CEO Satya Nadella said at an event in Mumbai Wednesday.
The company said the training, which will be delivered in conjunction with governments, nonprofit and corporate organizations and communities, will help the future workforce “harness AI’s potential.”
The initiative will focus on training people in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities—emerging urban areas with smaller populations than major settlements like Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad—as well as rural areas, Microsoft said...
No idea what kind of "skills" these are... :) But it's nice to see immigrants, like Satya, once they get to US corporate boards giving back to their country... That's an American Dream! Bite in and carry away!

...ZeroEyes' AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers over existing digital security cameras. When a gun is identified, images are instantly shared with the ZOC, staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans. If these experts determine that the threat is valid, they dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence, including visual description, gun type, and last known location, to law enforcement in as fast as 3 to 5 seconds from detection...
Yep. Total surveillance - that's the main application of modern "AI"...

“Just over half of Amazon Fresh stores are equipped with Just Walk Out. The technology allows customers to skip checkout altogether by scanning a QR code when they enter the store. Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts. The cashiers were simply moved off-site, and they watched you as you shopped.”
Two of Japan's largest telecommunications companies release joint warning that AI will ruin democratic institutions, collapse social order and lead into war.
"Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) and Yomiuri Shimbun Group Holdings, the country’s largest telecommunications company and the country’s biggest newspaper, jointly published the AI manifesto.
It warned that if legislation is not passed quickly in major countries across the world, artificial intelligence threatens to decimate democracy and provoke widespread societal unrest.
Pointing to AI programs being developed by US tech giants, the manifesto warns, “In the worst-case scenario, democracy and social order could collapse, resulting in wars.”

Nah, we're on our way to war without AI.
