Election denier who lost the Arizona governor’s race and is now running for Senate and probably going to lose that and make wild fraud claims again.

We should probably do more studies on this to confirm the findings of 10,001 previous studies, the lived experiences and testimonials of previously poor people, and the basic morality that guides our decisions.
An account less than a day old that doesn’t know semicolons exist? This is a poor effort. 2/10 and I advise you to drop this course before the deadline and take a 100 level course instead.
Civil war but the Rohingya genocide is ongoing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_genocide
The largest refugee camp in the world is the Kutupalong refugee camp is in Bangladesh just over the border. (Gaza is bigger but I’m not sure “camp” is the right word after multiple decades.)
Economists purposely don’t use terms like “capitalism,” “socialism,” and “communism” because their definitions are nebulous and often used for political reasons. Democratic socialists will point to Scandinavia as a highly successful model of socialism and liberals (in the classical since, not the American politics one) will consider those examples of capitalist countries.
Look at Apple products. Designed in America. Built in China. The chips inside require European technology and (usually) are made in Taiwan, South Korea, etc. South America, Africa, Oceania, etc. are also involved in the supply chain, whether it’s anything from mining raw materials to providing finished components. And that’s before we even get to the software, which might even involve Antarctica. (I don’t know if the McMurdo station has any public apps but they’re doing more than saying hello to the penguins. I assume some software has been written there.)
So, it’s sort of pointless to talk about “socialist” or “capitalist” economic systems in the modern era. You might as well argue with a mirror.
Sanction all the settlers. They’re breaking international law and are openly trying to make peace impossible. Some of them are literal terrorists. They should be treated the same as Hamas.
A piece of friendly advice is to not say “Well, actually…” on the Internet because that’s a meme about know-it-alls. I (and probably everyone on Lemmy) has a tendency to “Well, actually” people and it’s one of those things where people will discount your argument before it begins.
That aside, I do think we’re trying to model the brain using the best tools we have. I suspect the next 100 years will see a revolution in biology that can be compared to previous centuries seeing huge leaps in the understanding of physics, electromagnetism, and the immune system. No one in 1900 could not have ever foreseen us mapping the human genome.
So: I wouldn’t be shocked if neural networks caught up with humans in our lifetimes. But we’re basically trying to reverse engineer it using a lot of electricity and I doubt we’ll get to squirrel level intelligence in my lifetime, much less human level. But who knows? “There are decades where nothing happens; and, there are weeks where decades happen.” (A quote from V.I. Lenin. I don’t want to be political here but hopefully we can all agree he made some history happen.)
Consciousness is not a computer program. Neurons don’t use binary. I’d love it if we had computers that could do squirrel things perfectly but we don’t even have that.
I don’t really use TikTok but I really hope this gets tossed by the courts. I don’t care if ByteDance is owned by cthulus and draculas, it’s a terrible precedent to have the government ban a media company. If we don’t like China having access to data, ban apps from collecting it in the first place. Require algorithm audits. There are so many better ways to handle this than singling out TikTok.
