#armsrace

The #ArmsRace of today is #AI. Yes, yes, it's glorified statistical models. Shut up.

There are so many "first to X" races here that it's not even funny. Even the #EUCommission released a statement about it.

We're in for it, folks, and the winner of this race will hopefully be #OpenSource and the consumer - with #NPU hardware being the future of #PC #hardware #trends.

But it depends upon how the general public responds.

Don't worry about the #goldstandard, we'll be heading for the water standard.

Quite possibly also orbital-political blockades that will prevent more water from being brought to earth, unless ofc it's in compliance with International Water Foundation...

And #Nestle will enter the #armsrace. Fun! Wait, no, the other word. Horrible. Absolutely horrible. Teach your children to become terrorists.

Putin warns US of Cold War-style crisis if missiles deployed to Germany | Politics News | Al Jazeera

I have nothing good to say about Putin or his criminal attacks on Ukraine.

But this is Khrushchev-level madness by the US.

“The flight time to targets on our territory of such missiles, which in the future may be equipped with nuclear warheads, will be about 10 minutes,” Putin said.

Today in Labor History July 15, 1955: Eighteen Nobel laureates sign the Mainau Declaration against nuclear weapons, later co-signed by thirty-four other Nobel laureates. Werner Heisenberg (shown pictured), of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, was 1 of the signers. A new Mainau Declarion was signed in 2015. This one calls for urgent action on the Climate Crisis.

Part of the original Mainau Declaration reads as follows:

We do not deny that perhaps peace is being preserved precisely by the fear of these weapons. Nevertheless, we think it is a delusion if governments believe that they can avoid war for a long time through the fear of these weapons. Fear and tension have often engendered wars. Similarly, it seems to us a delusion to believe that small conflicts could in the future always be decided by traditional weapons. In extreme danger no nation will deny itself the use of any weapon that scientific technology can produce. All nations must come to the decision to renounce force as a final resort. If they are not prepared to do this, they will cease to exist.

While both threats remain, the nuclear threat will destroy the planet, and life on it, much more suddenly. And the U.S. and Western European powers, including Israel, seem much more prepared to use them than any time in the past. Indeed, in part because of this increasing willingness to use nuclear weapons, willingness to escalate military conflicts that risk nuclear miscalculation, and the rapid proliferation of a new nuclear arms race between the U.S., Russia, and China, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (founded by Einstein and Oppenheimer in 1945) pushed the Doomsday Clock forward to 90 seconds before midnight, the closest it has ever come to Armageddon (at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis it was at 2 min. before midnight). The first paragraph of their current status warning reads:

“Ominous trends continue to point the world toward global catastrophe. The war in Ukraine and the widespread and growing reliance on nuclear weapons increase the risk of nuclear escalation. China, Russia, and the United States are all spending huge sums to expand or modernize their nuclear arsenals, adding to the ever-present danger of nuclear war through mistake or miscalculation.”

With 3 Body Problem getting a lot of attention with the two TV series...

#DarkForest problem is something I believe could happen here on Earth if there is further abandonment of compassion for strangers education. The threat of #DarkForest is the technology to attack remotely and wipe out in #OutGroupHate - and humanity may develop new physics weapons to kill remotely very easily. It is a #FaithSystem value - #ArmsRace of violence / killing.

#DoomsdayClock stays at 90 seconds to midnight keeping its hands the closest they have ever been to "Doomsday" - but stopped short of nudging it forward.
Clock is set annually by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.
Threat of a new #nuclear #armsrace, the #Ukraine #war and #climatechange concerns were all factors, they said. Since 2007, members have considered the impact of new man-made risks such as #AI and climate change, as well as the greatest threat - #nuclearwar.
