@carnage4life @robbienorlyn The #AI with my MY info is mine. Yours is yours. It should act on my behalf, for my benefit. My personal concierge, my major domo, my AGENT. You want to show me targeted ads? Negotiate with my #agent because it is no longer free. That’s my vision. I will never consent to be exploited the way Altman and the other sociopaths do.

“Simply put,” the officials said, “we are quickly heading toward an environmental and life-threatening catastrophe.”

In mid-February, Trump administration leaders received a desperate warning from their diplomats posted in Vietnam, one of the most important American partners in Asia.

Workers were in the middle of cleaning up the site of an enormous chemical spill, the Bien Hoa air base, when Secretary of State Marco Rubio abruptly halted all foreign aid funding.

The shutdown left exposed open pits of soil contaminated with #dioxin, the deadly byproduct of #Agent #Orange, which the American military sprayed across large swaths of the country during the Vietnam War.

After Rubio’s orders to stop work, the cleanup crews were forced to abandon the site,
and, for weeks, all that was covering the contaminated dirt were tarps, which at one point blew off in the wind.

And even more pressing, the officials warned in a Feb. 14 letter obtained by ProPublica, Vietnam is on the verge of its rainy season, when torrential downpours are common.
With enough rain, they said, soil contaminated with dioxin could flood into nearby communities, poisoning their food supplies.

Hundreds of thousands of people live around the Bien Hoa air base, and some of their homes abut the site’s perimeter fence, just yards from the contaminated areas.

And less than 1,500 feet away is a major river that flows into Ho Chi Minh City, population 9 million.

“To some American observers, fixated on the idea that #China might be stealing a march on the West, the fact that Manus is Chinese is especially threatening. But Manus’s success is nowhere near the scale of that of #DeepSeek, a Chinese firm that stunned the world with its cheap ai model.

Any company, be it American, Chinese or otherwise, could produce a similar #agent, provided it used the right off-the-shelf components and had a large enough appetite for risk.

👉 Fortunately, there is little sign yet that Manus has done anything dangerous.

But safety can no longer be just a matter of big labs conducting large-scale testing before release.

Instead, regulators and companies will need to monitor what is already used in the wild, rapidly respond to any harms they spot and, if necessary, pull misbehaving systems out of action entirely. Whether you like it or not, Manus shows that the future of ai development will play out in the open.”

>Ein ehemaliger sowjetischer Geheimdienstmitarbeiter hat behauptet, US-Präsident Donald Trump sei 1987 vom KGB rekrutiert worden. Seitdem trage er den Codenamen „Krasnov“. Es ist nicht das erste Mal, dass derlei Verbindungen zwischen Trump und Russland behauptet werden.

>In einem Facebook-Post vom Donnerstag (21. Februar) stellt der ehemalige kasachische Geheimdienstchef Alnur Mussayev eine brisante Behauptung auf: Er sei in der 6. Direktion des KGB in Moskau tätig gewesen, die für die Unterstützung der Spionageabwehr in der Wirtschaft zuständig war. Eines ihrer Hauptziele sei die „Rekrutierung von Geschäftsleuten aus kapitalistischen Ländern“ gewesen. Im Rahmen dieser Bemühungen habe „unsere Direktion 1987 Donald Trump, einen 40-jährigen amerikanischen Geschäftsmann, unter dem Pseudonym Krasnov“ rekrutiert.

@janalbrecht das Problem ist dass weder die @Bundesregierung noch #EU oder gar #NATO auch nur ansatzweise darauf vorbereitet sind.

Ich meine, hat irgendwer auch nur einmal nen #REFORUSA geprobt?

  • Wenn nein dann harte shice das wird wohl bald notwendig sein!

  • Von den Problemen die #global durch eine instabile USA ausgehen mal gabz zu schweigen...
