Doom, everything is doom! I wonder why?
AI is among 17 potentially ‘catastrophic threats’ that researchers say require targeted action | CNN
More than a dozen “interconnected catastrophic threats” pose significant risk to global health and wellbeing through the remainder of the 21st century, researchers say – including the potential for extinction. But targeted action from world leaders can help avoid worst-case scenarios.
Using data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation’s Global Burden of Disease study, a commission of 35 leaders from various industries forecast the total years of good health that could be lost by the global population by due to sickness, disability or premature mortality from a range of threats.
Their findings, published in the journal The Lancet, identify 17 threats that pose the greatest danger – but also have the potential for realistic intervention.
The threats include health conditions and behaviors – such obesity, high blood pressure, smoking and mental health – as well as economic conditions, environmental change, technology and conflict.
That’s terrible. How to respond?
“Across all 17 catastrophic threats, the decisions made by leaders today will shape the health and wellbeing of the next generation. But delaying action will only serve to shift and increase the costs into the future,” Murray said in a statement.
So, Government controlling our lives? Huh. How about that? Strange that a supposed scientific paper would be so, oh, political.
Two threats pose a risk of extinction, the commission found: nuclear conflict and the malicious use of artificial intelligence.
Well, Trump has been trying to stop Iran, a nation that would use nukes. But, this seems to be driven by the current freakout over artificial intelligence, as the article goes on and on about how doomy it is. I’m guessing ‘climate change’ is dying out as a method of pushing governmental control, eh?
Artificial intelligence is the greatest threat to the left since their natural intelligence is so shockingly low.
Conservatives, being naturally more intelligent than the left, will fare much better.
For 20 years Iran had the ability to construct nuclear bombs.
The sneak attack during negotiations by Israel and Trump that killed the Supreme Leader and the wife and young daughter of the next Supreme Leader may have convinced Iran that the only way to have its homeland not attacked is to build a bomb.
Now Teach’s Dear Leader has decided to buy diesel from Russia who will then use the money to increase arms shipment to Iran. Mpakes perfect sense if you don’t think about it.
Trump will buy 300,000 metric tons of diesel at the world now. 500,000 Nov 1 and up to 3 million tons more.
Total of 3.8 million tons of diesel.Wow so much diesel ! 1.26 BILLION GALLONS ! OMG ! Do much diesel!!
Ummm wait!!!!!
There are 330 million of us here in my country.
That is only 4 gallons per person over the next 6 months (time when sanctions are removed)
Dana being naturally smart (Dunning Kruger)
Had of course already calculated that Trump’s paying Putin 6 billion will do little to change the price of diesel.
Dana did you plant doy on those 30 acres this year? American doi boys will need it.
