Well... as I was predicting... now it becomes more and more problem of USA.

Or what??? Ukraine have many satelites on the orbit and Putin trying to threat to shut down em? ;-P

And now position of Elon Musk is more opaque -- he seen how own state betraying him, and trying to find solution on his own.

Welcome to Cold Hot War 2.0! ;-)

Thank you.

Well. Not exactly.

More adequate would be... eunuch. As in china.

Eunuchs in China
Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org › E...
A eunuch is a man who has been castrated. Throughout history, castration often served a specific social function. A group of eunuchs. Mural from the tomb of ...
‎Wei Zhongxian · ‎Li Lianying · ‎Nellie Yu Roung Ling · ‎Grand Secretariat


""castration was both a traditional punishment (one of the Five Punishments) and a means of gaining employment in the Imperial service. Certain eunuchs gained immense power that occasionally superseded that of even the Grand Secretaries such as the Ming dynasty official Zheng He.""

""It is said that the justification for the employment of eunuchs as high-ranking civil servants was that, since they were incapable of having children, they would not be tempted to seize power and start a dynasty. In many cases, eunuchs were considered more reliable than the scholar-officials.[8]""


""The tension between eunuchs in the service of the emperor and virtuous Confucian officials is a familiar theme in Chinese history.""

;-P

Remind something? ;-)


"" Ray Huang argues that in reality, eunuchs represented the personal will of the Emperor, while the officials represented the alternative political will of the bureaucracy. The clash between them would thus have been a clash of ideologies or political agenda.[10]""

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

No, the American Deep State bureaucratic mandarins aren't eunuch's. They don't follow orders from the Emperor and are absolutely obsessed with decorating their own rice bowls.

Yes, one run by Cyrus the Great (Xenophon, "Cyropedia"). One where the Mandarins follow the Emperors commands... or suffer the consequences.

God Emperor? God from Machina?

Like in Warhammer 40.000 -- god-emperor that exiled itself into being super-computer.

Because... only that is the way it can excert ANY control over such a enormous machinery of bureaucracy...

You don't know Cyrus. He's a lot like Rousseau's "Emile". In many ways, virtue cannot be taught. But it can be learned. :)

The son of an emperor raised in a luxurious palace doesn't describe Cyrus' upbringing. Cyrus was raised in a more "Spartan" agoge type environment.

Training a model simply means learning (determining) good values for all the weights and the bias from labeled examples. In supervised learning, a machine learning algorithm builds a model by examining many examples and attempting to find a model that minimizes loss; this process is called empirical risk minimization.

They WILL NOT allow ML/AI to do that staff.

Because it... accidentally, could spill the truth. ;-P

So... they will find "scientifical" excuse... that AI CANNOT be allowed to "solve climate change problem". ;-)

Chemistry takes to pieces, but it does not construct. Alchemy which sought to transmute one element into another, to prolong life, to arm with power,--that was in the right direction. All our science lacks a human side. The tenant is more than the house. Bugs and stamens and spores, on which we lavish so many years, are not finalities, and man, when his powers unfold in order, will take Nature along with him, and emit light into all her recesses. The human heart concerns us more than the poring into microscopes, and is larger than can be measured by the pompous figures of the astronomer. - Emerson, "Conduct of Life" (On Beauty)

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

"You" is personal, "one" is not. And intimacy, getting "personal" REQUIRES shared obscenity. Like a pass. If the "pass' is successful, no biggie. If it fails, she accuses you of indecency or some kind of sexual "assault". In the first case, she accepts you as an 'equal/ peer". In the second, she rejects you as "inferior/ lower class not worthy".

You should have started with an impersonal dirty joke making them laugh and THEN asked the personal "beheading" question. The first gets you through the "shared obscenity" door.

Like a woman. 1st base... 2nd base... third base... TTHEN home! ;)
