The singularity is not AI becoming human-like intelligent, only being good enough at communication that a human can't tell it's not human.
It's kind of exciting, but not as big a deal as people here are making it out to be.
Big deal, yes, but not that big.

It's just allspice. He crushes it, extracts the essential oils, then whips it excessively. Very abusive.

No need. They were abandoned and the feds do not want to pay to remove them. Just go grab one or two.

Reply to comment by MrJoyless in Rolls-Royce successfully tests hydrogen-powered jet engine by je97
It depends on how the fuel is used. If it's being burned then it needs to be done in an elemental state (h2 gas or liquid), but if we just need electricity to run the engines, then the hydrogen can be bonded with a metal for easy and safe storage. Just add water to fizz it out.
I suspect the first, rather than the second.

Most countries are like this. America was a revolution in human rights (sorry, a point of clarification, white male human rights, especially if they owned land).
That spread around a little last century, but by and large, the Roman era laws and ancient east laws are the way of the world.

Reply to comment by Flicyourbic in Carbon emissions from fossil fuels will hit record high in 2022 | Greenhouse gas emissions by Xul-luX
This isn't a very thorough explanation.
The greenhouse effect of certain gases, including carbon dioxide released from burning most flammable substances, increases as the gasses accumulate in the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide, at current levels, is bad. As the air retains more heat, it also holds onto water more, which is a much more potent greenhouse gas - which accelerates the warming.
The air then can hold more water. This reaches a point where no more will be held, but it's bad for most animal life. Plant life usually doesn't mind.
With the planet getting warmer, other things start happening. The polar ice caps melt and cause the oceans to rise, flooding coastal areas. The warm air also has more energy (that's why it's warm), making it go faster - hurricanes, tornados, that sort of thing get worse and more common.
The weather completely changes so we have trouble knowing from history where all the rain will go - causing areas that normally don't flood to flood, and lakes to go dry.
The ocean also warms up. This has a really negative effect on ocean life. Lots of it dies because they're evolved to live in cold water. Evolution requires a bit of time to adjust, so it's a mass extinction.
Things that can survive the change in temperature can't survive the loss of their food. Much of our breathable oxygen comes from plants in the ocean, which also die.
The warm water can hold carbon dioxide better, which offsets the stuff in the air to a point, but this acidifies the ocean, killing even more things, like reefs. More plants die. More animals die.
All of this is happening right now, within our lifetime, which means evolution will largely fail to accommodate our food. We die.
Then it all goes back to normal over the next few thousand to million years, new species rise and take all the unoccupied niches.

Oh, as to the second point, while entirely deserved, most people in life, and especially on the Internet, provide no sources... And the remaining don't generally check them.

Humans are much more susceptible to rattlesnake venom than most of our pets. Almost doesn't bother dogs at all.

I don't think I'm in agreement, but it could be you mean something other than what I understand.
Dude isn't currently employed by the US, but is using his skills as an investigator to investigate people at the Olympics..
I'm not sure how that would be against the US interest. Also, speaking to lawmakers in an attempt to influence them - which is acceptable. He'd need to register as a foreign agent, but otherwise, not a big deal.

Reply to comment by Ftpini in EU reaches deal to ban new combustion engine cars by 2035 – DW – 10/27/2022 by JustMyOpinionz
If you go out and purchase a brand new Ford Taurus today, then by 2035, you may still own that vehicle - it'll probably still work...
But.
You'll be having difficulty finding gasoline you can afford. It'll be around $10/gallon by then. It would cost less to get a new EV on loan. You would then want to sell your 13 year old ICE car for pennies, which likely won't sell at all... Because the people who could afford to buy it, couldn't afford to fuel it.
So yes, all of those ICE vehicles on the road will just disappear. Sort of. There will be some number on the road just because of some need, but they're going to be too expensive for the average consumer to use.
Gas stations are going to begin to replace their pumps with recharging stations. People will want to do something while they charge, so think "McDonald's" when you think recharge. You can probably glimpse this now in your local gas stations - they're starting to serve real food.

Yes, but people do that constantly. Often at the behest of foreign nations. There's a registry for them to be on. Sometimes people don't get on it when they should, but failure to register as a foreign agent isn't a betrayal, it's a minor crime. It'll be akin to driving without a license.

It can already do that.
We can still improve upon it, so we can tell when a machine wrote it.
AI can create chips in hours, it takes humans months.
AI can learn a language in minutes, it takes humans years.
AI can write fiction in seconds that would take your or is few weeks.
AI has been used to compile every possible music combination.
AI are significantly better at diagnostic medicine then a human, in certain cases.
The only difference between what an AI can do and a human is that we know it's being done by an AI. Human work just looks different. It uses a logic that encompasses what humans' needs are. We car about form, fiction, moral, and even why certain colors are pleasing.
An AI doesn't understand comfort, terror, or need. It feels nothing. At some point we'll figure out how to emulator all of that to a degree that will hide the AI from us.
