The constant need for observation and corrective corrections in politics and political institutions is exhausting.
The need and cause are very foreign to me. I work problem-solution-oriented and person-neutral-collaborative in software development. Which is a personality and environment/systematic setup thing. And which of course sadly only works in smaller teams and groups and projects; not at the scale of EU politics.
The tasks, obligations, and responsibilities of elected politicians are clear. But that alone is not enough. Which is kind of tragic.
The title made me think of something completely different from what he actually said (the quotes are in the article).
He specifically talks about national stupidity, not individual or people/citizen stupidity
He says the technology is neutral, the concern is in how it is being used
What they're saying is not that "stupidity is a bigger threat than AI". They're not separate ideas. He says he is worried about how AI is being used more than the technology and technological development itself.
“With this in mind, artificial intelligence is a tool. It is an algorithm made by humans, that is run by computers made by humans, that controls machines made by humans. I am more afraid, more worried [about] national stupidity than artificial intelligence to be honest,” he added.
“I have a scientific background, so I definitely consider technology as neutral. The problem is the user, not the technology itself.”
The EU already puts a price on many of the emissions created by European firms; now, through the new Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, or CBAM, the bloc will charge companies that import the targeted products
The new regulations include an important nudge to other governments. CBAM regulations state that if a company pays a carbon fee at home, it won’t also have to pay the EU—just the difference, if the EU’s price is higher.
The app-based AI chatbot already handles two-thirds of all customer service chats, the company said Tuesday—some 2.3 million conversations so far—with the virtual assistant earning customer satisfaction ratings at the same level as human agents.
How were those satisfaction ratings?
I have only awful experiences with "support chat" bots. If it's incompetent humans of course it wouldn't be better. But that's beside the point.
[…] use roughly as much electricity as all of the nation’s home computers combined
Bitcoin mining also risks stressing out the power grid in Texas, a crypto hub in the US where the state’s grid operator has paid Riot more than $31 million in energy credits to curb its electricity use during heatwave-induced demand spikes. Bitcoin mining has also brought sputtering fossil fuel power plants back to life and raised electricity costs for some residents in New York.
It's clear why the survey is necessary.
Why did they make it an emergency survey in the first place? Is there no "normal" survey alternative?
