Malaga plus IT

I love the Stones Linked Credit phb What is The Golden Rule? Linked Kant and the Golden Rule Differences in situations Immanuel Kant famously criticized the golden rule for not being sensitive to differences of situation, noting that a prisoner duly convicted of a crime could appeal to the golden rule while asking the judge to release him, pointing out that the judge would not want anyone else to send him to prison, so he should not do so to others.[91] On the other hand, in a critique of the consistency of Kant's writings, several authors have noted the "similarity"[98] between the Golden Rule and Kant's Categorical Imperative, introduced in Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals (See discussion at this link).

The Voice in Australia
Pretty confusing the debate on THE VOICE in Australia at present ... I am trying to get informed and find out CUI BONO & more like background Infos about Labour and Liberals and the Aboriginal Policies of the past. It is all about the GAP between The First Nation people and white Australia and the past decades and Australian history. ABC.com.au and other Media in Australia Peter Dutton starts his No Campaign (WHY and what are his solutions???) and is backed by John Howard, former PM of the Liberals and the Coalitions he could form. Linked Marcia Langton (Public Academic and Prof. in Melbourne, born in Brisbane, QLD) has been a prominent figure in the efforts to close the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians for decades. She has been a vocal advocate for Indigenous rights and has worked on a range of initiatives aimed at addressing the systemic disadvantages faced by Indigenous Australians. In 2008, Langton was appointed to the role of co-chair of the National Indigenous Council, which advised the Australian government on Indigenous policy. Langton was also involved in the development of the "Closing the Gap" strategy, which was launched in 2008 with the aim of addressing the health, education, and employment disparities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Langton has been a prominent VOICE in the ongoing debate around constitutional recognition for Indigenous Australians, arguing that awareness and…
Eric Schmidt on AI and AGI
Quoted from AFR.com “The question is what is the right answer,” Dr Schmidt said. “I’m not in favour of a six-month pause because it will simply benefit China. “What I am in favour of is getting everybody together ASAP to discuss what are the appropriate guardrails. “Say you are an AI researcher, you build one of these things. You want to release it? Well, you shouldn’t release it without some kind of mitigation for things that it could do that are negative.” Dr Schmidt said if industry could not agree on guardrails, governments would inevitably have to come in and impose their own standards. “I think today the government’s response would be clumsy because there are very few people in government who understand this stuff. So I’m in favour of letting the industry try to get its act together. This is a case where you don’t rush in unless you understand what you’re doing.” Dr Schmidt said he had two concerns about AI getting out of control. He said as systems got bigger and more sophisticated, it raised the question, how do you know that you know what it knows? How do you test it? “You can get a situation where it’s a race to the bottom … and we rush to release without knowing what we’re doing,” he said.

The Battle Of Bali
Just read this article in AFR.com (OZ Edition) and would like to recommend this for people dreaming to live as digital nomads in Indonesia … In short: Completely sick of badly behaving Digital Nomads (many are young Russians - sic!!!) locals are fighting back and try to inform LocalAuthorities to get rid of these tourists, who are seen as intruding invaders!!! More here later, have to digest this first! Was not aware of these Cultural Gaps - here more shockwaves! From OZ yours phb Education NSW OZ l Influencers | SM | Credit phb A short story written by Franz Kafka (or someone like Kafka) Once upon a time, in the beautiful island of Bali, there was a laughing policeman. He had seen it all - the rise of the digital nomads, the clash of cultures, and the clash of crypto-rich nomads with the locals. But still, he laughed. The laughing policeman was a mystery to most, but to those who knew him, he was a sage. He knew that the world was changing, and that Bali was changing with it. The island was a magnet for digital nomads from Russia and Ukraine, drawn by the promise of cheap living and endless sunshine. But the nomads clashed with the locals, who saw them as arrogant and disrespectful. The nomads ignored the culture and tradition of Bali, misbehaving and flaunting their wealth…
