Another 737 almost fell out of the sky

Instead of admitting to MCAS it seems they tried to pin it on human error, which is so ridiculous that even a kid who played any anount of flight simulator wouldnt have made this mistake

""Bloomberg reported the memo indicated a “newer” first officer was flying at the time and inadvertently pushed forward on the control column."""

Ok. We are already aware of the damage US caused to the world and itself through its policy of regime change and political interference. We talk about it over and over again in this thread. And now, having seen all that, the first thing some of us have in mind in terms of Chinese foreign policy goal is to break up India?????
India is not a good player, nor does it possess good character. If roles were reversed between India and China do you think India would have shown as much restraint as China during the last 70 years?

India is using Balochi terrorists to attack CPEC projects in Pakistan, when has China resorted to such actions against India?
India is confiscating the assets and earnings of Chinese companies operating in India, when has China done the same to India?

Today's India already seeks the breakup of China; what do you think a stronger India would do?
Look at the treatment of women, minorities, lower castes, the natural environment, etc. in today's India and you will get an idea of what a stronger india would look like - a rapist, slave owning superpower causing untold misery, destruction and degradation to all it touches.

Holding to your principles is good, however don't let those principles get in the way of dealing with genuine problems.

US would only want to delay if they believe their AI strategy/stack is working...

Rumor is OpenAI already solved AGI and possibly on verge of achieving superintelligence.... and now with its Apple and NSA partnerships, I guess GPT5 is coming out soon....

The plan is to use AI via API to essentially extract and convert the human labor wealth of the rest of the world, and thereby pump up the US dollar and extend dollar hegemony forever, so that its own population at home can sit back and get a decent UBI, maybe 100k a year income for every American citizen etc

Nvidia didnt become a 3 trillion dollar company for no reason

Its probably in US interest to stall for time, at least another year or so until TSMC Arizona etc are in place and set up
After seeing that Amazon AI (actually indians) store get exposed I wonder how much of this AI is just overhype to con investors. I guess time will tell if AI is just another meme like big data or Blockchain.

This is weird because SWA flight 2786 no longer flies to Hawaii. Is this normal to have flights no be assigned to new routes. If in fact a minor human error, why make changes to flights in such a short period of time? Why reuse the flight number to Austin to Indianapolis? Very strange.

The incident occurred April 11 aboard Southwest Flight 2786, but only came to light publicly on Friday after

Southwest sent a memo to pilots about the incident.

With Li Qiang visiting Aus in first official since at least 5 years the Aus mainstream media is pumping up negative stories on China.


This isn't from Murdoch press but SMH supposedly the fair and independent source of news, at least that's what their company motto says.

Funny they bring out these two grifters as victims. One a self hating Chinese woman who worked for API, an anti china think tank backed by US weapons behemoths. Another an overweight self proclaimed sinophobic activist clown who loves attention and donations.

Note foreign interference to them just means Russia or China. US and israeli influence and lobby groups pretty much owns Aus but they dun think it's foreign interference.

Another article supposedly crying for Chinese Aus citizen Yang Hengjun on spying charges This newspaper never did this for Julian Assange, who exposed actual war crimes by US. The hypocrisy is through the roof.

Even pandas get the negative coverage

Meanwhile much of the Aus public are kept in the dark about pine gap.

If an AGI of any significant use in any sector could be so easily designed, China would have been there first long ago.

The country that struggles with designing really basic shit like batteries and bridges aren't going to be a toe to toe tech threat to China. US' threat comes from it being a less powerful yet much more aggressive nation that is many times more willing to fight.

In fact in terms of AI, China will likely imminently pull ahead because they have already integrated task specific AI into many industrial sectors, which directly boost productivity. You already have your "AGI" in the form of the internet, chatbots that comb the internet to piece together replies are easy to make both for US and China, but are far from being useful at increasing productivity. Chatbots are a trap that impresses boomers with lifelike replies, the real AI frontier is in optimization algorithms.

It is Arabic Soft Power not BRICS. Just few days before this conference Zelenski made speech supporting two state solution and that further weakens his support among Israelis. and this late Saudi decision to participate to oblige Zelenski prevented much larger Global South participation as you you cannot trust global south when they are in the room with so many Europeans.
There is no Ukraine in Macron phone call. you can also see Macron standing between two Arab leaders in G-7 pics. he is doing all he can to regain Arabic Soft Power otherwise he will stay mad.

Why not, they started it first. Any retailiation is justified. Breaking up India is certainly not following US imperialism going out of its way hurting country minding is own way. That example do not apply to China breaking India. By your logic you have seen a bully hurting everyone, therefore you are not allowed to hurt a bully back. Crazy!
