Who’s your Daddy? Looks like it will be billionaires. 1984 is finally here. Frankly, I’m glad I won’t like to see it. Turn me into Soylent Green.] 'Resistance is futile,' says Qualcomm CEO AI agents will be become invisible, inescapable, follow you across devices Tobias Mann The Register: 02 Jun 2026 In his Computex keynote speech this week Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon offered a glimpse of an AI-augmented future straight out of an episode of Black Mirror. According to Amon, agents — automated systems which harness AI models to automate complex tasks without the need for human supervision — will fundamentally change humanity’s relationship with technology. “The phone, today, is at the center of your digital life and therefore everything is around the phone,” he said. But in the not too distant future, Amon argues that agents will take their place. Phones, like wearables, will simply become an extension of the agent. Your devices will be constantly feeding sensor data to an agent. “6G is going to make all of us into walking cameras in this world.” Not creepy at all then. It’s no wonder Meta is so keen on making smart glasses a thing. Agentic AI adoption becomes yet another funnel by which data can be used to serve you ads. It doesn’t stop there. If Amon is to be believed, realtime AI analysis of 6G radio waves will allow for even more pervasive prediction models. “You're going to detect on every road, every car, every bicycle, every truck, every pedestrian,” he explained. “You can actually identify those objects.” Last we checked, Google’s business model revolves around turning telemetry gathered from your digital life into targeted advertising.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 06:42:02 +0000You wish... Keep pushing that line Higgot. It's all about race and everyone knows it. He was arrested while bleeding to death due to an accusation of racism for gods sake. I'm not denying it. I am actively drawing attention to it. You've been race baiting for years and now suddenly refusing to mention race in a case thats all about the so called "anti racism" (anti whiteism) that you have been pushing. It's no surprise that youre suddenly refusing to mention it Higgot. Its to be expected of you and your ilk. Trying to wash your hands of your vile divisive rhetoric once the damage becomes apparent. You're like a kid with chocolate and crumbs around his mouth bragging that he never even saw the cookies. Never even mentioned them until someone accused him of eating them. Utterly pathetic.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 06:41:59 +0000I think were drifting off Topic i started a diff thread on two tier policing.

Appearing before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rubio delivered a scathing assessment of Tehran's condition, mocking suggestions that the Islamic Republic had weathered the conflict successfully. "They have no navy, they have no air force, they have no air defenses," Rubio told lawmakers. ‘Massive Destruction’ To Iran’s MilitaryRubio said Iran's military capabilities had suffered severe damage during the conflict. According to the secretary of state, large sections of the country's defence industry have been destroyed, while significant numbers of missile launchers and drone systems have been wiped out. The comments were aimed directly at critics who have argued that Iran has managed to withstand months of military and economic pressure. Instead, Rubio painted a picture of a regime struggling to recover from extensive battlefield losses. Economy Under Severe PressureThe secretary also highlighted what he described as a deepening economic crisis inside Iran. He claimed the country is losing hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue while battling soaring inflation and a rapidly collapsing currency. Rubio told lawmakers that the government is increasingly struggling to meet basic financial obligations. "Their leadership is fractured. They have hyperinflation, their currency is worthless, and they're having trouble making payroll," he said. Rubio Delivers Sharp One-LinerAfter listing Iran's military and economic problems, Rubio capped his remarks with a sarcastic swipe that quickly drew attention. "I guess other than that, they're doing well," he joked. The remark underscored the administration's argument that pressure on Tehran is working and that Iran remains in a far weaker position than its leaders publicly admit. Warning Over Congressional PushbackRubio also used the hearing to criticise efforts in Congress to limit President Trump's military options through war powers legislation. He argued that public debate over restricting presidential authority risks sending the wrong message to Tehran. According to Rubio, Iranian leaders may interpret congressional opposition as evidence that Washington's resolve is weakening. If Iran believes American military action is off the table, he warned, the regime may see less incentive to negotiate a settlement. Nuclear Deal Would Go To CongressDespite defending the administration's approach, Rubio pledged that any future nuclear agreement with Iran would be submitted to Congress for review. He confirmed the White House would comply with the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act, which requires lawmakers to examine and vote on any major nuclear accord with Tehran. That assurance comes as negotiations continue amid ongoing tensions across the Middle East. Hope For Progress In LebanonRubio also pointed to signs of diplomatic progress between Israel and Lebanon following two days of talks in Washington. He revealed that representatives from both governments were meeting at the State Department and expressed hope that discussions could soon produce a joint security framework. The aim, he said, is to strengthen Lebanon's legitimate government while reducing the influence of Hezbollah and other Iranian-backed groups. Whether those talks can help calm wider regional tensions remains to be seen, but Rubio made clear that the administration views them as a key part of any broader peace effort.

From my experience, if your country list is only places like Europe, China, the US, Southeast Asia, etc, that's it - there are no more questions and you can submit the form. If the list contains places like (in my case) Ethiopia, then it asks whether you've been vaccinated for Yellow Fever, the date of the inoculation, and then tells you to upload a copy of the vaccine certificate. (You then must check in at the health desk at the airport before proceeding to immigration.)Thu, 04 Jun 2026 06:35:29 +0000His father is not the sole gatekeeper of what people are allowed to do or say following this, nor has he been elected to speak on behalf of all white people. The cover ups and anti-white policing needs to end. How many tens of thousands of girls could have been saved from being raped if everyone was treated equally under the law? Would those little girls in Southport be alive if a head teacher hadn't been prevented from escalating her safety concerns about the "Welsh choirboy" when a children's mental health worker accused her of racially stereotyping him as "a black boy with a knife"? Would 22 young lives have been saved if the Manchester arena security guard had been able to voice his concerns about the suspicious looking sweaty brown man with a backpack without fear of being called racist? Henry Nowak may not have been saved had the police treated him with even a modicum of the same dignity and respect they afforded his murderer (who was never placed in handcuffs by the way), but since they chose to drag him across the gravel and force his hands behind his back so they could punish him rather than help him we will never really know will we.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 06:35:08 +0000Never was a bucket list type. I do what I want to do and try not to chase the next thing on a list. People seem preoccupied with planning the next adventure while there is more to be enjoyed in everyday life that they fail to grasp. I'll go on trips in the future and probably enjoy them but a list seems so limiting. Went on a trip to Australia with a couple friends that had a list of things to check off. By day three, I was avoiding them like the plague and I'm sure I came off as a jerk but it was too much to handle. I hadn't seen them in years and they were preoccupied with a checklist. My best memories are mostly just hanging with friends and not worrying about anything and enjoying the moment.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 06:35:08 +0000Korean Tourist Says Gucci Bag Was Stolen on Pattaya’s Walking Street A Korean tourist reported that he was robbed by two ladyboys on Pattaya’s Walking Street in the early hours of June 3. The 38-year-old victim told police that a Gucci bag containing 10,000 baht, an ID card, and a room key was stolen outside an entertainment venue at around 5am. According to the report, one suspect allegedly approached him, started a conversation, and made physical contact while another moved in to distract him. A concerned citizen later provided video footage of the alleged theft and called for stronger action against pickpocket gangs in the area. Pattaya City Police are reviewing CCTV footage and working to identify the suspects.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 06:34:15 +0000Your quoting inaccurate information mixed with some accurate information presented as facts.

The study found that women freelancers in Thailand charge an average of 980 THB or US$30.68 per hour, while men charge around 2000 THB or US$63.57. That represents a 51.7% gap, far higher than the global average of 19%. The difference is even more pronounced in web design, where female freelancers in Thailand reportedly charge 60.6% less than men. The report notes that freelance pricing can be influenced by experience, client type, negotiation habits, and platform history, but the scale of Thailand’s gap stands out internationally.Thu, 04 Jun 2026 06:32:39 +0000
