Hello Erica,

 

Yes, it's fine to share a link. I try, when it's not too difficult, to share 
the article because it's more difficult for some of us to get to some links 
than for others of us, me included. I guess I don't try to read more of those 
online Nation articles than three because I've never been barred when I access 
an article from that free daily email I receive each day.

 

That reminds me, I do read The Nation which I download from BARD, or some of 
it, and also, The New Yorker. Just now, I've been reading an article in the 
August 3/10 issue of The New Yorker about the 1960 Kennedy campaign by Jill Le 
Por. It reminds me that political campaigns are run by incredibly cynical 
people and  some of what happened, is reminiscent of the 2016 primary campaign 
between Clinton and Sanders.

Thanks for the share. I was particularly struck by this passage: "AIC acting 
director Nand Mulchandani advanced this narrative when he claimed China had 
“the world’s most advanced [AI] capabilities, such as unregulated facial 
recognition for universal surveillance and control of their domestic 
population, trained on Chinese video gathered from their systems.” Mulchandani, 
nevertheless, conceded that the “U.S. is capable of doing similar things,” but 
offered only the U.S. Constitution as the barrier that would prevent America 
from building “such universal surveillance and censorship systems.”"

 

Regarding the constitutionality of surveillance--I was reminded of reports 
released earlier this week by The Nation's Ken Klippenstein revealing DHS 
surveillance of Americans with previous involvement in the YPG. Linked here 
https://www.thenation.com/article/society/dhs-antifa-syria/

 

I am new to the list. Let me know if this is an appropriate way to share links. 
The Nation does have a paywall after 3 articles have been read in a month, I 
believe.

Of course we can!
Miriam, I was going to comment on the post, along with my complaining.
When we look at our military expenditures and the profits "earned" by
the Corporations profiting directly off the military, and the huge tax
supported employment of military personnel(servicemen and service
women, generally known as Grunts)what more proof will it take?
Strange behavior for a nation that professes to be able to communicate
directly with God, but can't hear the rattle of sabers and the
explosion of many bombs.

Miriam,
I thought I'd sent out several messages, but happened to check to see
if I'd entered the right address on an email, and discovered that the
process of entering only part of an address, and having the entire
address appear, no longer worked.  Since I have over 800 names in my
Contact file, having to search for each address makes me feel like
shutting down my computer and getting some long overdue work around
the house taken care of.
I've tried everything including contacting the google help center.
They gave me a huge number of suggestions, and people who had the same
problem, but most of it was not helpful, and the rest did not work on
my ancient machine.

The reason I couldn't send this article last night was that as I was

my internet went down. We had a severe tropical storm yesterday. Up to
that
point, we'd been unaffected because when this house was purchased, I
purchased a generator for it, having been traumatized by Hurricane Sandy.
But the cable? That, I had no control over. It just came back now.

Does anyone really believe the US has public interest in mind when it

to technology and artificial intelligence?
