?? 'AI Could Be The Best Or Worst Thing To Happen To Humanity' - Stephen Hawking's Speech & Mindlessness Of Chatbots
This is a speech Stephen Hawking gave at the Web Summit conference in Lisbon on Monday. It’s actually an upbeat and optimistic speech, but one particular phrase from the speech is scaring many people. Stephen Hawking has a love of the dramatic, and he often way overstates things - it's what they call hyperbole, overstating things for emotional effect. I'm also surprised that amongst all the news articles running stories about it, I haven't found a single one that is skeptical of his beliefs or even suggests there could be other views on the matter.

Antarctic Volcano Role In Warming Was Understated
There is additional evidence a mantle plume, basically a geothermal heat source such as a volcano, is below Antarctica's Marie Byrd Land and it explains a substantial amount of the melting that creates lakes and rivers under the ice sheet. Mantle plumes are thought to be narrow streams of hot rock rising through Earth's mantle and spreading out like a mushroom cap under the crust. The buoyancy of the material, some of it molten, causes the crust to bulge upward. The theory of mantle plumes was proposed in the 1970s to explain geothermal activity that occurs far from the boundary of... more »

RUSH LIMBAUGH BLAMES MASS SHOOTINGS ON DAY CARE
Rush Limbaugh said this on the radio today: ... I would really love to know how many of these mass shooters went to day care? How many of them were separated from their mothers at age two, at age three, and were farmed out to day care centers?

Saudi Arabia, Wellspring of Regional Instability
*Paul R. Pillar* *Saudi Arabia Yemen Lebanon Iran, Middle East* The anachronistic family enterprise known as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has long been politically fragile.

A clan of royals lives on rake-offs from the country’s petroleum wealth, while using more of that wealth to buy off a fast-growing population. The Saudis have had to continue playing that game through vicissitudes of the oil market, on which the Saudi economy depends. The potential for breakdown has always been pre... more »

The Russian Revolution, Red October, has met its centennial.

Ducks Lining Up: Saudi, Israeli, US Moves On Iran, Lebanon
Why has President Trump's son-in-law/top advisor Jared Kushner been spending so much time with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman? Last month was his third trip this year? The visit occurred right before Bin Salman purged his political rivals, claimed that Lebanon had declared war on his country, and cited a Yemeni missile strike as a pretext to ramp up tensions with Iran. Are the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel preparing for a major war with Iran, Lebanon, and Hezbollah? We look at the troubling trends in today's Liberty Report:

I haven't trusted newspapers since I was quite young. The main attraction for me on the Sunday edition was the ads and coupons. Years ago I loved the New York Times book section. That was also chucked in the dust bin many years ago as the reviews are bought and paid for and rarely tell the truth about a book. It's always amusing when a newspaper endorses a candidate for public office.... more »
