Starting Dec. 1, Google will start deleting "inactive" accounts — that is, accounts that haven't been used in at least two years. Use it, or lose it: Google Edition

I've had two warning mails on two different occasions that Google would delete my account (meaning, email, calender and all that stuff).
Best remedy? Move away from Google.

We’re announcing the general availability of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered code remediation and infrastructure as code (IaC) support for Amazon CodeWhisperer, an AI-powered productivity tool for the IDE and command line. "It was not good, either, to listen to what they whispered at night in the forest with voices like a bee's that tried to be like the voices of men"

It showed up in my VSCode last week, unbidden.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Church founder Anthony Levandowski believes that AI chatbots will soon be so powerful they will essentially be gods And the AI said, "Let x= 01101100 01101001 01100111 01101000 01110100"

Seriously? As we didn't have enough with people thinking they are gods... Now chatbots are going to be taken as gods too?
we are doomed

Didn't we have an article explaining how any toddler can beat modern AI at even basic tasks?
..but yes; children are Gods and our future, and the ones that will impact the world more than chatting with Eliza or praying ever will. Treat them kind and with respect.

Name me one thing that has more impact on the future than how a child is raised? Outside the Manhattan project ofcourse?

How a single child is raised matters very little. How children as a group are raised molds the future.

The invention of fire. The invention of the Scientific Method. The abolition of slavery. Universal suffrage.

Daniel Pfeffer wrote: The invention of fire. The invention of the Scientific Method. The abolition of slavery. Universal suffrage. Those take groups with a conviction; IIRC, then the US fought a bloody war about slavery. Those are mass-movements. Still, I will focus on the one child that I have almost no influence on; because I have no influence on the group at all.
Yet, that is where my prayers go - not to AI or a God. But to one that might change the world, like a butterfly sometimes does.

..and then you pray to an AI or some idiot in the sky?
Now, looking at the woke and broke generation of American students, I agree, it would require a huge leap in faith for humanity. Or simply better and cheaper education.
