47's weaponization of the DOJ shows the US is now a dictatorship
How many Trump haters claimed the last election would be the last one? Will they admit they are wrong after the midterms? -

How scared should we be of AI?
Coincidentally I very recently got some financial presentations selling the story of the next stage that AI is enabling. To give thought and subject for discussion, I will give some some extracts for information. I know the talk is directed at investors but it gives some insight where this may be heading. When AGI really gets developed to think for itself within 5 years, when all the other baby IA’s are already integrated into the world, and the robotics, then what chance would we have with a Skynet that could control it all. Food for thought, or scaremongering? “Humanoid robots could very well be the largest industry of all time”. The articles refer to the “Project Cosmos”, I believe was initiated by NVDIA but now most megacompanies are involved. Every robot - whether it's an autonomous car trying to navigate rush hour traffic, a surgical robot performing delicate operations, or a warehouse drone moving packages - all faced the exact same nightmare: How do you train a machine to work in the messy, unpredictable real world without causing disasters? You couldn't let an autonomous truck "practice" on highways without risking lives. You couldn't teach a surgical robot by letting it operate on actual patients. And you definitely couldn't train warehouse robots by letting them crash into million-dollar inventory. But here's what makes Project Cosmos the ultimate game-changer... It doesn't matter if your robot has two legs, four wheels, or flies through the air. Every single type of autonomous robot needs to solve the same core challenge: understanding and reacting to the chaos of real-world environments. Project Cosmos aims to crack this code by giving ANY robot access to 20 million hours of real-world experience without ever touching the real world. The same breakthrough that teaches a humanoid to navigate a cluttered living room also teaches a delivery drone to avoid power lines, a construction robot to work around humans, and an agricultural robot to handle delicate crops. The applications are truly endless… Can you imagine once “Project Cosmos” can be used in … • The $997 billion military industrial complex where drones handle bomb disposal and dangerous missions • The $1.9 trillion construction industry where robots eliminate waste and solve labor shortages • The $570 billion space industry where autonomous robots explore Mars and build lunar bases • The $455 billion eldercare industry where nursing robots can address the global aging crisis • And even the $3.7 trillion logistics industry where delivery robots and warehouse automation revolutionize shipping…? We're not talking about a $30 trillion humanoid market, much much more. Instead, we're talking about Project Cosmos transforming virtually every industry that moves physical objects in the real world. This progression has already started but is in its infacy. Like Morgan Stanley writes: “The robots are coming.” Not in 10 years. Not in 5 years. Its already beginning. Companies are already starting to build the robots, enabling their intelligence, and putting them to work across industries. -

Using Fixed Deposit For Retirement Extension
Thanks. Yes, I would make an online appointment in advance, as I usually do. I was thinking the same about the 5K. Since it would not be added to the 800K balance or allow me to update the balance on the 800K fixed deposit portion, there seems like no good reason to even bother with it. By receipt of deposit, do you mean the original deposit slip for the 800K that I used to open the fixed deposit with? If so, yes I still have that deposit slip copy from the bank, but it will not be recent in 2027 when I plan to use this account for my visa extension. I am not sure how it could be useful? The bank also once told me that when the fixed deposit matures, the funds automatically move back to my savings account. I could move them back into a new fixed deposit term at that time, but even a one-day transfer out of the fixed deposit account would require me to show multiple account statements to prove I kept 800K in the bank, which is something I would also want to avoid. At the time, when they told me this, I wasn't even thinking this might cause me problems too, but in hindsight it could be an issue. Overall, this fixed deposit seems like it could be more trouble than it is worth. Since I cannot update the passbook balance for the fixed deposit on the visa extension day, immigration might reject it as we discussed. I could also run into problems if the maturity of the funds in the fixed deposit automatically transfers the funds back to savings and cannot be rolled over directly. In the end, the savings account method may still be the better and safest option. Less hassle and more of a sure thing. Of course I would have to sacrifice earning some higher interest, but maybe worth it for the peace of mind. -

The age you should stop boozing to avoid dementia
Research fund by alcohol producers. 65 ... does anyone believe that Then you are obviously there already. My life expectancy was only 67. Was never an Alky. Weekend warrior, then monthly warrior / light sipper. Last 10 years a couple a month, and last 8, almost none existent. Now, can't remember last time I drank a beer ... oh crap 🍻
