[Just The News] Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is pushing legislation that would permanently ban the development and deployment of artificial superintelligence while temporarily pausing development of other advanced AI systems until new federal safety rules are established. Old man shouts at clouds
"Nearly every day, there is a frightening new story about how Big Tech companies are losing control of the technology they are developing, with potentially cataclysmic results," Sanders said. "The leaders of the major AI companies publicly acknowledge that they do not fully understand the technology and that it is escaping their control. It is irresponsible for society to allow them to move forward and make these products even more advanced."
The proposal would create a new federal agency to oversee advanced AI and track systems for dangerous capabilities.
It would also seek international agreements aimed at preventing the development of superintelligence worldwide.
The trouble is with all these data centers and AI, just wait until Quantum computers come online. There will not be a single electronic record keep private. From any networked bank accounts to Walmart customer surveillance.
Then the schit will hit the fan. If you are not worried, you should be.

My apologies, Clyde Thaviling6482 — that was you in-line comment, not mine. I added the highlight, but it was late and I missed changing my periwinkle to yellow for you.
Video appeals to non-readers primarily because it offers **passive, linear consumption** that requires less cognitive effort than the active processing needed for text. With shrinking attention spans, many find videos more **engaging and entertaining**, providing a quick dopamine hit through visual and auditory stimuli that holds their focus more easily than static words.
Additionally, video is often perceived as a **faster and more convenient** way to absorb information, especially for visual or auditory learners. The medium allows for **emotional connection** through voice and imagery, making complex or abstract concepts easier to grasp intuitively without the need to decode language, which can be a barrier for those with lower literacy levels or learning difficulties.

over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
