Great article about the history of past AI winters:

"The most recent talk of a looming winter has been triggered by growing concerns among investors that AI technology may not live up to the hype surrounding it—and that the valuations of many AI-related companies are far too highl. In a worst case scenario, this AI winter could be accompanied by the popping of an AI-inflated stock market bubble, with reverberations across the entire economy. While there have been AI hype cycles before, they’ve never involved anything close to the multiple hundreds of billions of dollars that investors have sunk into the generative AI boom. And so if there is another AI winter, it could involve polar vortex levels of pain.

The markets have been spooked recently by comments from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who told reporters he thought some venture-backed AI startups were grossly overvalued (although not OpenAI, of course, which is one of the most highly-valued venture-backed startups of all time). Hot on the heels of Altman’s remarks came a study from MIT that concluded that 95% of AI pilot projects fail.

A look at past AI winters, and what caused them, may give us some indication of whether that chill in the air is just a passing breeze or the first hints of an impending Ice Age. Sometimes those AI winters have been brought on by academic research highlighting the limitations of particular AI techniques. Sometimes they have been caused by frustrations getting AI tech to work well in real world applications. Sometimes both factors have been at play. But what previous AI winters all had in common was disillusionment among those footing the bill after promising new advances failed to deliver on the ensuing hype."

Westliche Truppen in der Ukraine? Putin droht mit Gewalt

26 Staaten sind bereit, Truppen zur Friedenssicherung in die Ukraine zu schicken. Russlands Präsident Putin lehnt das kategorisch ab - und droht: Die Soldaten wären ein "legitimes Ziel für eine Vernichtung".

Also, ich verstehe die Aufregung nicht. 1. sind wir noch sehr weit von einem Waffenstillstand, geschweige denn einem Frieden entfernt. 2. nicht alle Staaten sind auch bereit Soldaten zu schicken und 3. war die Antwort von #Putin ganz bestimmt voraussehbar. Business as usual.


Texas passes bill banning abortion pills from being mailed to the state


This story was originally reported by Shefali Luthra of The 19th. Meet Shefali and read more of her reporting on gender, politics and policy.

Texas lawmakers voted to enact sweeping new restrictions on abortion pills mailed to the state, offering a possible blueprint for other states that have banned abortion.

House Bill 7 gives private citizens the right to sue health providers for mailing, prescribing or providing abortion medication to patients in the state of Texas; providers sued under the bill risk penalties of at least $100,000. The bill, which passed after heated negotiations between the state’s various anti-abortion advocacy groups, now awaits Gov. Greg Abbott’s signature. Its supporters believe it could represent a new step in the national battle over abortion rights. The bill will also authorize lawsuits against pharmaceutical manufacturers if they make medications used by Texans for abortion — a provision that could chill drug development and make the pills harder to attain for people beyond the Lone Star State.

Texas is the largest state to have almost completely outlawed abortion. But thousands of residents each month have continued to terminate their pregnancies by ordering medication from health care providers who practice in states where the procedure remains legal. Those medical professionals work under the protection of shield laws, statutes that hold their home states won’t cooperate with an out-of-state prosecution. One estimate suggests that by the end of 2024, more than 3,400 Texans received these telehealth abortions each month.

Patients who receive abortion pills in the mail can end their pregnancies from their own homes, a simpler and cheaper option than traveling to another state for care. Global health organizations have endorsed telehealth abortions. And in the years since Roe v. Wade’s overturn, the practice has soared in popularity — so much so that despite the proliferation of state bans, the number of abortions done in the United States has actually increased. About 1 in 4 abortions are performed through telehealth. Half of those are for people living in states with abortion restrictions, getting care from shield law providers.

"This bill does not protect women children or families," state Sen. Carol Alvarado, a Democrat, said during the legislature's debate. "It deputizes Texans as bounty hunters. It replaces compassion with suspicion."

Abortion opponents across the country have been in search of a way to stop this practice. In Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched a civil lawsuit against a shield law provider, Dr. Margaret Carpenter of New York; the case is now being litigated in state courts. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill has filed criminal charges against Carpenter.

Two Texas residents have filed separate civil cases against shield law providers. Both cases are being argued in federal court by lawyer Jonathan Mitchell, Texas’ former solicitor general who has spearheaded several anti-abortion cases.

In Washington, D.C., major anti-abortion groups have been pressing the federal government to impose new restrictions on mifepristone, one of the drugs used in medication abortions, that would effectively outlaw telehealth.

None of those efforts has stopped telehealth abortions.

The Texas bill, backed by the influential lobby Texas Right to Life, could offer a new path forward. Modeled after the state’s six-week abortion ban — which in 2021 eliminated access to most abortions in the state, even before Roe’s overturn — the legislation threatens shield law providers with financially ruinous lawsuits. Still, it’s not yet clear how providers in other states will respond.

“I think we’ll just see,” said one California-based shield law physician, who requested that her name be withheld because of the lawsuits filed against her colleagues. “If it’s state versus state, it feels like we’ve got a solid plan.”

Even some abortion opponents expressed skepticism that the bill would play a meaningful role in blocking the distribution of abortion pills — an issue many believe will ultimately be settled in federal court.

“Perhaps it has some potential, but I think it was vastly oversold,” said Kyleen Wright, who heads Texans for Life, an anti-abortion group.

The bill was subject to heated negotiation between various anti-abortion groups. Initially proposed in March, a previous version of the abortion pill bill failed in the final days of Texas’ regular legislative session after lawmakers ran out of time to vote it out of the state’s House of Representatives.

Plaintiffs related to the “unborn child” can receive $100,000 in damages through lawsuits filed against abortion providers. People with no connection to the pregnancy can receive $10,000 if they file suit; the remaining $90,000 would be donated to a charity, though the bill doesn’t specify which — a modification made to win over lobbyists from Texans for Life and the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops, who had both voiced concerns the bills could encourage a plethora of lawsuits from people with no connection to the pregnancy, or ultimately result in legal action targeting abortion patients themselves. The bill also explicitly prohibits using these civil lawsuits to force someone who received an abortion to sit for a deposition.

Those changes reflect only one obstacle the bill faced. Initially proposed in March, a previous version of the abortion pill bill failed in the final days of Texas’ regular legislative session after lawmakers ran out of time to vote it out of the state’s House of Representatives.

A collection of abortion opponents, including Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, pressed Abbott to call lawmakers back to Austin for a special session that would abortion pill restrictions. But the bill did not pass in Texas’ first special session, which ended on August 15 after Democratic lawmakers temporarily fled the state to block passage of GOP redistricting legislation.

Abbott then called a second month-long legislative session to begin that same day. Democrats returned to the state after California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, committed to having his state maps redrawn as well, potentially neutralizing Republicans’ congressional gains in Texas.

I think people believe the Epstein = scum part and that he was associated with many important people including some who have been named. Nothing I've read so far quite rises to the point of being individually actionable. We need that.

What I want to see publicized are the specifics. At the age of 14 I, Jenna Lisa Jones, had sexual intercourse with Bill Clinton ...Courtney Wild...Donald Trump.. That is the only thing that will get us past the stage of tongue clucking by officialdom.

We can hope that the victims do publish such specifics on their own or, to avoid lawsuits, the specifics get read into the congressional record as threatened by MTG, et al.

Das Bild zeigt eine imposante, menschenähnliche Figur, die aus verwittertem Holz besteht und wie ein Baum aussieht. Die Figur hat große, leuchtend rote Augen und einen weit geöffneten Mund, der Feuer ausstößt. Ihr Kopf ist mit knorrigen Ästen und Zweigen verziert, die in die Luft ragen und Feuer ausstoßen. Der Hintergrund besteht aus einem bedrohlichen, bewölkten Himmel, der die düstere Atmosphäre verstärkt. Vor der Figur befindet sich ein einfacher Holzzaun, und im Vordergrund sind grüne Pflanzen sichtbar. Die Figur wirkt wie ein mächtiges Wesen, das aus der Natur entstanden ist und eine bedrohliche Präsenz ausstrahlt.

No matter how much Donald Trump tries to interfere in the jobs report, the truth is clear: Things are taking a turn for the worse.

The labor market added only 22,000 jobs—a far cry from the 75,000 economists forecasted—and the unemployment rate is the highest it's been in 4 years. trib.al/F2XlIei
