All Measures to Combat Global Warming Are Smoke and Mirrors! / Politics / Climate Change
By: Nadeem_Walayat
In practical terms, humanity collectively has done absolutely NOTHING to cut back on carbon emissions so it's no wonder that that rate of increase in co2 in the atmosphere remains on an exponential trend trajectory. Back in 1999 the suits were aiming to cap co2 at 400 parts per million, today it is now over 425 ppm. in 25 years time it will probably be approaching 500ppm as in reality nothing will be done given that people want to have better lives, they want to eat meat every day not once a month or even once a year as used to be the case in centuries past. So we are a long way from even stabilising the system let alone reversing damage that is being done, look at the graph, what has been done since 2000 to prevent climate change? The answer is NOTHING! Instead the exact opposite has transpired!

Why AI will Soon become SA - Synthetic Intelligence - The Machine Learning Megatrend / Politics / AI
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Is Artificial the right word to use for what is taking place as we enter 2024?
Artificial - made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural.
Neural networks are a black box, they are not a copy of something natural i.e. are an emergent property, a different form of intelligence, in the past I've called this Alien Intelligence but that is a bit Sci-fi sounding, maybe a better word that could eventually become widespread should be Synthetic Intelligence since it is a form of intelligence and not artificial i.e. the intelligence is real, but different to human intelligence.

Taiwan 2024 Election: Militarization or Development / Politics / GeoPolitics
By: Dan_Steinbock
Taiwan's elections loom just a few weeks away. Continued militarization would undermine past economic success. Taiwan is at its ultimate crossroads.
Taiwan’s presidential elections will be held on January 13, 2024. Re-elected in 2020, the incumbent President Tsai Ing-wen cannot seek a third term.

Rise of US Military Aid, Fall of Israeli Labor Party / Politics / Israel
By: Dan_Steinbock
The Nightmare after 50 Years of Failed Military PoliciesIsraeli occupation and far-right settlers are subverting Israeli democracy. The rise of US military aid has resulted in the fall of the Israeli Labor Party. Meanwhile, neoliberal policies are polarizing the economy, politics and society.
Since the 1970s, the concern of the Israeli peace activists was that if the Messianic far-right Jewish settlers, many of whom came from the US, would be permitted to create a substantial de facto presence, it would be legitimized over time by de jure measures.

Are Zionist Israelis Nazis? Gaza Palestinian Genocide 2023 / Politics / Palestine
By: N_Walayat
Are Israeli Nazis? Watch this video and make up your own minds. For if anyone said what these Israeli's and their Zionist supporters hate speach about the palestinains against Jews then they would rightly be arrested. But somehow it is okay for Zionists to spread hate speach, incite others to violence, call for the death of all palestinians. That appears to be okay with the authorities given that the Zionists OWN the western political parties.

The flames of Hamas, Israel, apartheid, and Palestine / Politics / Palestine

AI Regulation - Urgent Need For A Sherman Act Mark Two / Politics / AI
By: Christopher_Quigley
It is almost certain that the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) will bring about even greater consolidation of power among the top American tech companies. These include Amazon, Meta (Facebook), Alphabet (Google), Microsoft, Apple, Tesla, Advanced Micro Devices, NVIDA and Intel.This development presents a great opportunity for these companies but it also presents a great threat to the very fabric of capitalism and democracy. I believe, before it is too late, it is time that the power of these tech companies be broken and thus it is time for a new Sherman Act.

By: Richard_Mills
Inequality is one of the most volatile aspects of contemporary society, and it is getting worse. As the gap between the haves and the have-nots widens, and the middle class shrinks, the chances of social upheaval increase.
History tells us that a state’s failure to redress rampant inequality can result in bloody revolution.
In the United States and around the world, the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. According to The Conversation, in every major region of the world outside Europe, extreme wealth is becoming concentrated in a handful of people.
