It is theoretically easy for us, the human race, to be destroyed in a few days or weeks.
That's how many nuclear bombs there are.

Respect is needed.

He has indeed had a conversation with the Emperor. He was shocked because the way the Emperor spoke was very folksy.

The Japanese Emperor is a member of an orchestra and plays the viola.
He is a true lover of culture and the arts, enjoys mountain climbing, and respects the diversity of life in nature.
Like many decent people, he has mixed feelings about free speech on the internet these days.

Microsoft Recall has many promising customers.
The same is true of the police and public authorities, and most managers in the world do not want to incur costs in monitoring how their employees work.

For example, China is a despotic country, so when we think of ordinary citizens in the suburbs of China, we are likely to have the prejudice that "they are not living a modern life."

The case of OpenAI's alleged plagiarism of Scarlett Johansson's flesh-and-blood voice is problematic, but even more problematic is the tendency of Japanese AI startups to adopt too many images of young women in their representations of AI.
When I was a graduate student, I was particularly fed up with this trend.
How many male robotics engineers adopt the appearance of young women and beautiful girls as representations of their robots and proudly say, "Behold, this is my work!"

2024-05-25 15:03:41

As I sit in a daze on a cool, peaceful night, I recall many things from my past.
