Perhaps that is the most frightening possibility of all - that if artificial intelligence finally develops the ability to think entirely for itself, it will turn out to have the opinions of a Corbynite 17-year-old who thinks she knows everything, and is also probably listening to us in our homes all the time.
Perhaps the computer revolution has gone too far.

BRUSSELS, March 27 (Reuters) - EU police force Europol on Monday warned about the potential misuse of artificial intelligence-powered chatbot ChatGPT in phishing attempts, disinformation and cybercrime, adding to the chorus of concerns ranging from legal to ethical issues.

The catastrophe was compounded by the failure to plan for what came next. Iraqis watched as power stations and national treasures were looted, while American troops guarded the oil ministry and Donald Rumsfeld, the defense secretary, glibly dismissed the turmoil: "Freedom´s untidy." The security vacuum and de-Ba´athification strategy fomented sectarianism not only in Iraq itself, but far beyond its borders - and fueled terrorism that has proved not only most deadly in the region, but has taken lives in the west, too. Later decisions such as support for Nouri al-Maliki made matters worse.

Yet the low turnout underscored that others have given up on democracy, thanks to those who boasted that they were bringing it to justify their war. Some now aspire to a society and government that looks beyond sectarianism and towards a brighter future, as the 2019 Tishreen movement, and the re-emergence of participants in 2021´s elections, showed. It may be many more years before we fully reckon the effects of the catastrophe unleashed two decades ago. More than half of Iraqis are too young to remember life under Saddam Hussein.

Canada and the United States also acknowledged "the serious long-term challenge to the international order posed by the People's Republic of China, including disruptive actions such as economic coercion, non-market policies and practices, and human rights abuses," the two countries said in a joint statement.

(AP) - Ford says its new assembly plant under construction in western Tennessee will be able to build up to 500,000 electric pickup trucks a year at full production. Construction began last year. Known as the Memphis Regional Megasite, the land designated by the state for industrial development sat unused for years before Ford decided to move in. The automaker announced in September of 2021 that it would build the plant and a joint-venture battery factory on a 3,600-acre (1,460-hectare) parcel of land in rural Stanton, northeast of Memphis.

Iraq currently appears relatively calm. troops are still present due to the ongoing battle against IS. Politicians and officials have pocketed billions.
