Are we all fucked?

Usually they're more clandestine about regime change. Seems you can just kidnap foreign leaders willy nilly.

Imagine aul Catherine Connolly making the tea in the kitchen at Aras an Uachtarain and seen a few choppers full of marines landing on the lawn.

Brits cut them off from their South American Intel a few weeks back too as they didn't to get done for collusion.

Am I deluded to think that AI on a large scale (i.e. full length films, documentaries, etc) is doomed to fail. I get the curiosity of "I wonder what XYZ would look like" but surely people would get fucking tired of that uncanny valley shit pretty quickly and look for something with an actual soul?

Some suits will get filthy fucking rich then the bubble bursts.

I dunno... maybe we are all fucked?

Search for what, though? How will you find anything at all once this shit fully gets up to speed. Unlimited shite made to order, hosted by platforms whose finanical interest is in serving you shit they don't have to pay out for (Spotify are already ahead of the game here) 

Deezer, the global music experiences platform, is receiving over 30,000 fully AI-generated tracks every day

That's almost 30% of the songs they receive now, up from 10% at the start of the year.

It's not sustainable to host so much ever growing amounts of data. Sooner or later, the non-profitable stuff is going to be cut - i.e. anything not mainstream or host generated AI.

Don't sell your fucken CDs just yet

To be fair, it might be the only way to stop AI music

Just feed the movie War Games to these computers and they will learn the error of their ways

That that story and this one broke at the same time reveals the real danger: Armageddon believers like Hegseth being close to "the button"

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth vowed to remove Anthropic from his agency's supply chain if the company declined to allow its artificial intelligence (AI) technology to be used across military applications.

This post could have gone into the random thoughts thread but felt more appropriate to be in here. Bare with my strings of thought 

Iran war continues for a month - energy crisis builds - Europe past month have been taking Russian shadow oil fleet tankers, same with India with Iranian ones, America with Venezuelan ones.

Hard to see how the war ends - does Trump just say under pressure in 1-2 weeks time "That's it, we won." Doesn't Iran, with whatever is left of lower levels of leaders who are more than likely extremists just take a firm stance like "ok, we need a nuke asap." Trump will be told this is the likely path that the remaining Iranian gov will speedrun to having a nuke so Trump will be told that they should be encouraging the Iranian people to strike and takeover....but that prolongs the whole war meaning oil and world recession/depression, a good chance that it's going to be a whole lot worse than the 1970s. Inflation has potential to be massive - economies could literally stop - I see Thailand and somewhere are already making WFH mandatory to try lessen fuel demand. Some places already dry.

Iran in recent days are starting to target desalination plants - Bahrain apparently depend on desalination plants for 85% of their water. UAE/Kuwait it's 90%.  If Iran smash enough of these plants - 10s of millions with no water - you are talking mass migration influx into Europe akin to 2015. Also thinking globalisation will eventually fail by around 2040-2050 timeframe (due to demographics across the world) - this could help speed that process up.

Anyway...pretty sure we are all fucked...or am I just a complete rambling fool?
