Comment Re:Failure of their payment structure (Score 1) 76

Clearly their payment structure is badly screwed up.

This isn't the principle screw-up. If a non-renewable source, say gas, kicks in for a charging period, then the whole of the electricity price for that period is determined by the gas price, rather than just the percentage of energy that it produces.

AI is a software tool. The people who use this tool are responsible for the damage it causes.

"How will this impact people", and, "What effect will this have on society" aren't questions that get asked by the tech bros. The question that does get asked is, "How can I monetise these for my benefit"

Incidentally, the "AI apocalypse" was deemed to be in progress in an article the other day. Presumably, the Butlerian jihad can't be far behind.

When we suddenly become "friendly" again to foreign students and researchers, will there be attractive opportunities for them to seek out at those universities?

Yes.

Europe is already offering places to American academics and is looking to attract even more.

Suppose that these academics do move and, even after Trump goes, they can see the MAGA interference in the education system. Would you want to move back to the US again?

As a prospective student, would you look at American universities where star names have gone elsewhere, and where you would face severe visa restrictions and decide that is the place you want to be?

Comment No law apart from American law (Score 1) 255

What Rubio is effectively saying is that American law will apply everywhere and override any national laws.

It supports the fact that Xitter has refused to remove a video showing a stabbing video, viewed by someone who went on to stab three children and was wrongly characterised on social media as an illegal immigrant and Muslim, even though he was born in the UK and Christian.

The UK also has laws that prevent the harassment of women attending family planning clinics. These too have been characterised as censorship by members of the Trump administration.
