to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and

to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and

to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and

to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

AND FOR THESE ENDS

to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and

to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and

to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,

Defeat, because Russia does everything in their power... to undermine all this. And everywhere they go. Not because we don't like them or because of what they perhaps see as 'incidents'.

Article 4: Membership in the United Nations is open to all other peace-loving states which accept the obligations contained in the present Charter and, in the judgment of the Organization, are able and willing to carry out these obligations.

    But it's in many cases not 'your' kid. You have invited someone else's kid (with unknown upbringing) to let it play with yours (or alone at your place, but that's an awkward example). You can instruct it to play around, but who's at fault when this invitee starts to make a mess all by itself.

    Anyway, in the case of hacking, as we can read in the news, it is the kid doing it's 'explorations' unsupervised from its parents house.

    When you treat is as a tool, like guns, then it's simple: AI does not do unlawful things, people do. So anyone handling this tool is responsible for 'it's' actions.

    Treat AI as if it's an intelligent pet, and any damages it does also transfers to the one responsible for it - almost the same difference. When a certain line of AI's keep doing unlawful things then, because it's categorized as 'pet', treat them as an unreliable breed.

    Treat AI as an stand-alone individual, then ask why on Earth a company let's an untrained idiot have access to all kinds of sensitive PII data and continuously allow it to hack websites.

    Even when so, the voter should have enough time to appeal before election day.

    In court papers, Solicitor General D. John Sauer said that the district court’s ruling “threatens the integrity of upcoming elections” by preventing the government from responding to state requests to verify the citizenship of potential voters.

    anyway:

    Noncitizen voting is extremely rare. All states are required to conduct voter roll list maintenance under federal law, and states already have processes to identify any noncitizens who do accidentally make it onto the voter rolls.

    The "AI companies" themselves proudly claim their 'child' is "too dangerous" when they tell it to play save but walks right out of the door they "did not" left wide open with all the credentials they told it not to use hacking all kinds of 'unsuspected' systems.

    *why are they heavily investing in solving math problems? The story that OpenAI wants you to hear is, this AI did this incredible thing, and it’s super intelligent. *

    Sure. And not that the total cost exceeded about a hundred times the price money. And that it possibly have scanned the results of another researcher who asked AI for advise, in the hope it will not cause too much controversy.

    Why are we spending so much time talking about this idea of AI that people have been talking about since the ’40s and ’50s?

    Because Sci-Fi writers from that period, like Asimov and Orwell for instance, understood the dangers of autonomous rule observing emotionless servants. We actually had a World War teaching us that too, leading to the invention of the UN and UDHR for example... but somehow and for some reason we still manage to steer towards 'outsourced' control anyway (while under the impression it's a mere assistant for funny stuff).

    Timnit Gebru argues that AI companies are stoking fears of extinction to avoid discussing actual harms, like autonomous weapons.

    It's the same thing. Just desensitizing the public by normalizing the talking points.
