Google says AI is actually “computational statistics,” and Meta/Facebook calls AI “a giant autocomplete system.”

Today isn’t even Wacky Wednesday, and I get to say…
I agree with Google & Facebook. 🎭

If you don't live in Israel or consume Israeli media, you don't know who Yair Golan is. He is a 61-year-old retired Major General in the Israel army and a former parliament MP. Spend a minute to read this story.

Yesterday, when IDF and the police were in complete chaos, Golan put on his old uniform, took his weapon, and drove into the war zone multiple times to rescue civilians under fire. He rescued two young adults hiding under a bush after 260 of their friends were murdered at an outdoor party. He answered a call from a journalist that his son was hiding under fire and simply said, "Give me his location, and I will bring him back home." An hour later, the son called his father from Golan's car.

Golan collected a small crew and went in and out of the war zone, rescuing dozens of people while exchanging fire with Hamas terrorists. He is 61, he could have stayed home, but he chose to risk his life for people he does not know.

Golan is one of the strongest voices from the Israeli left and was constantly attacked by the right wing in Israel. But when the time came, he was first fighting the barbaric attack. The same brain wiring that supports peace, is often the same wiring that drives people to do the right thing.

A true hero.

Skriver om Norge, landet der samfunnstopper og politikere som Erna Solberg sparker nedover i stedet for å ta det overordnete ansvaret https://t.co/AsEulrvb3N

@kiheger Litt ekstra interessant er det jo at det var en maskin og ikke et menneske som gjorde dette.

Lørdagskommentaren.
Har skrevet en slags ideologisk selvangivelse, om mitt eget forhold til Nato og EU.

Ha ei knall helg, alle sammen!

@conradhackett If you get any really good replies, I hope you publish/share them. I would be very interested to hear a good argument along those lines. Not sure it can be made.

Two facts many people don't know:

1) The global median income has doubled in 17 years from 2000 to 2017. A stunningly rapid progress the world has *never* seen before. (Adjusted for prices, so not due to inflation)

2) Still half the people in the world have less than $7 per day

@SOppgulp @Ingeborgborg Covid spres som kjent også blant vaksinerte. Men vaksinerte har langt mindre sjanse til å få Covid, og langt mindre sjanse til å spre smitten om de får Covid. https://t.co/Q4RRAZdE4t
