““I worry about the way that AI can empower a nation-state to create, essentially, a surveillance state, which is what China is doing with it,” Obernolte said.
“They’ve created, essentially, the world’s largest surveillance state. They use that information to make predictive scores of people’s loyalty to the government. And they use that as loyalty scores to award privileges. That’s pretty Orwellian.””
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” -Samuel Adams

I had to check that it wasn't from the Bee proper.

I see lawyers in Amazon's future. My house isn't very smart ... and i'm really happy it's not.

Ireland now stands on the precipice of freedom. The embrace of such laws by the Irish is crushingly ironic. Frank Ryan, who fought against the treaty, spoke for many radicals in declaring “as long as we have fists and boots, there will be no free speech for traitors.” Those anti-Treaty forces rejected the views of free speech that long defined Western nations. Now, Ireland is declaring “no free speech for haters” and assumes the authority to define who are haters and who are not.

All science, by definition, is potentially unintentionally false. What once was considered true, is often falsified. So science must stop? If a politically accepted science result is falsified, will the ACMA be fined for allowing the falsified results to be published in the past?

Besides, over the last few years viewpoints that various governments considered "disinformation" have proven correct.
Global Warming sceptics might be caught up in this.
We might be in the top three or four against the wall. After all, we are dangerous. It is very un-American (and stupid) to require conformity to a viewpoint. Harkens back to the McCarthy era ,,, even though his warnings of Communists in the government was at least partially true. Total truth in science rarely exists for long. Those screaming the loudest are usually charlatans and demigogues, Exactly the people that should not be put in charge of policy.
