AI models to "aid" in court, listening to witnesses in order to assert if said person is telling the truth or lying are being proposed in my country.

Argument: it will speed up trials, declogging the justice system by extension.

Most lawyers are horrified, as well some judges.

Meanwhile, a judge as been suspended and reprimanded for using AI tools to write his decisions for him.

Yes, the bot did allucinate arguments and used argumentation in common law style, while my country is civil law model.

What a wonderful personality! Such a warm person, full of respect and consideration for the freedom of press and international relations.

I can't say the same thing, sadly.

People around me get easily fascinated by convinience over security and privacy. Biometric phone unlocking, work-only-through-app accessories, smart tvs, connected refrigerators, kitchen robots and expresso machines, autonomous vaccuum cleaners or web enabled water heaters and ACs... convenience rules absolute.

I enjoy going to stores and have sales people throw their pitch at me. The look on their face is priceless as all the convenience functions don't ring any appeal to me; nothing against them, they are doing their job, but still.

I hope we can force change and push back on the ever growing invasive tactics of companies and markets.

The dude is drunk. To the point he forgets when he is.

I'm going to risk his then hot girlfriend/now wife read that message and got a pinch of miffed just by knowing he was drunk.

I still say it's a sweet thing to read. Drunk and nonetheless still in love for his signficant other? Precious.

Things like these are getting ridiculous and the most unreasonable of it all is that most people do not consider this as predatory and invasive behaviour from manufacturers.

I like my appliances dumb. Don't try to sell me a smart TV, a smart fridge or a smart anything. It does not need to connect to the internet. It needs to do one specific task and one only. I don't need my fridge to order groceries.

That's sweet. If the guy still sees her as his girlfriend, when drunk, the right feeling is still there. And if he get's excited for knowing she's his wife presently, that's even better.

But I'm going to risk things a bit off between them. That reply sounded a bit miffed, from the wife.

Copper nail or a little hole in a thicker wood and inject some bleach in there. It will kill it down to the root.

Depends on the dog, the available space and how they're cared for.

I take care of two shepperd dogs and they just love to spend their day sleeping and lazying around. Morning walk I almost need to beg them to get out of bed. End of the day walk, they're fine. But these are two lazy ladies. My partner, their godfather, was always up for a long walk, come sun or rain.

Let a piece of meat to the side, far from the meal preparation and table will be. The animals are looking for food; if they find it early, no need to fight them later.

No fountain pens?

There's wisdom to be found in any book. What someone gains from any source depends entirely on them.

If a person is to read the most hatred filled book ever written in human kind history and set it down saying everything in it is wrong, even when the book was pourposefully written to spread and instill it, that person is bigger than the book and became bigger after reading it.

So, please, don't be so hasteful on labelling someone as delusional just because they take comfort on something you personally disregard as useful.

The problem arises when someone says the way they understand a given source is the only right one.

And what I read and understood was a loathing for the regime and social practices by it enacted onto the general populatio ln and not a generalized hatred towards the average individual. I also found there was an exageration to their words, although crude, but every person has their way to convey emotion.

There are better ways to confront people on their views than to start from insult.

Did my replies come out as shouting? Damn. Not what I intended.

I have two dogs and they bark at me in an unique way when requesting my attention or when I'm arriving home, so I expect that to be my "name" to them.

You need me to recap this exchange inception? Allow me.

I injected myself in this as you made your opinion on how another person was racist torwards chinese in general, as they saw China, the country, as in the regime, as dangerous.

You ascertained your moral high ground out of being well travelled and cultured, without ever addressing a single point of the other person's argument. Your concern was their apparent racism under your higher morality.

I opted by criticizing this position of your, by clearly stating why and how someone can loathe a country's regime without having nothing against the people living there, adding in the process why I personally find America snd China's regimes parallels, although ideologically opposite.

Again, you chose reiterating I am wrong in my views but without addressing a single point of it, except for making vague hollow observations that add nothing to the conversation, not adding counter points of information. Twice.

I've already deemed this a closed argument. I am doing it again. Be well, have a good one.

You finished waving your red herrings around?

I like how you instantly decided I was talking about China when writing that list. Shows your bias. But if you recognized it, good. Only means the similarities run deep enough for both countries to be mistaken by one another.

Thank you for remembering China has, technically, the longest standing continuous civilization. I'm aware. But since we are focusing our attention on recent history, let's say last 70 years, I'm going to opt out the rest as not relevant for the discussion at hand.

Shall we deny the revolution led by Mao ended in violence against his own countrymen and revolutionary allies? The decades of disastrous policies, of cultural, religious and social repression, all of those considered classical indicators of established totalitarian regimes?

Meanwhile, across the Pacific, let's also ignore and deny the ever growing shadow power and pressure on the government by the "conservative" to hold back or cull whatever small advancements on the social front made, since the 1950's, paired with the constant recitation of the fear against communism.

There was violence and repression on both ends of this argument, obviously; one enacted it through bullets, while the other enacted it through the pen. Different methods, same results. Fascinating how any ideology, when led to it's extremes degenerates into essentially the same outcome.

Now, if you will allow me, I am going to preserve my critical and accusatory position towards the political establishments of China and USA, as both being authoritarian repressive dangerous regimes.

Came into the thread just looking for that and was not disappointed!

There is a sciemce fiction book on that, from Ray Bradbury.

Cuttlefish? And crabs!

You're forgetting octopi, otters, squids, and maybe ants or other social insect.
