They are IN it for the Money. (and Donny's EGO.) That stands out like dogs balls. Nev

There's a fair bit to know about setting up sidecars properly, and having a high centre of gravity makes them doubly dangerous. Like with a trike it's better to keep Mass near the ground. Having suspension can make it very " leany" when turning. and the front forks "trail" can make the steering heavy . Usually the sidecar is sprung in relation to it's chassis at least and some Movement between the side car frame and the Bikes frame. . The assymetry of accelerating and braking can worry some new riders, till they get more experience. You have to look a fair bit ahead to set up your Cornering. It's near impossible to ride a combination with No weight in the chair, safely. Too fast into an off camber LH downhill corner, anytime, will see you in the bushes or a head-on with something coming the other way..You either get to like the challenge or you Hate them. . They put a lot of strain on the engine and the Bike frame and wheels. (side loads). Plenty of original setups were 3 Point. The Goulding was a Popular make here till about 1930 after which it went to the USA. Another big presence was the Dusting and the Yeats was a well set up 4 point mount that was well accepted. and good quality. Tyre wear on the rear wheel can be quite Poor with bigger wider outfits. .

Trump and his sons are heavily invested in AI indirectly through shareholdings and directly through personal involvement in AI and AI related companies.

A famous man once said... "There is freedom of speech, but I cannot guarantee freedom after speech." ―( Idi Amin)

I see That in protest, the 'approved' news outlets have taken a day off from covering whitehouse news - even Fox!

It's just another distraction from the witheld Epstein files... and the Iran war.... and the price of diesel.... and....

On another topic, Trump has banned certain media organisations from attending the White House. Those organisation are, of course, taking the ban to Court on the basis of their being contrary to the First Amendment, which creates prohibitions on Congress making laws in three areas. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. I wonder how these legal actions will go. While one could reasonably argue that the ban vio;ates teh First Amendment, Trump could quite easily counter by saying that the grounds of the White House are restricted areas for security reasons and that entry entry thereto by any person depends on that person gaining the appropriate security clearance. And we know that the grounds for deny the clearance in Trump's world are pretty flimsy.

This is a double-barreled post as it could go here or in the AI thread, but Trump has declared that reported concerns about uncontrolled AI are fake news. Call me cynical, but that makes me wonder how much the Trump Organisation (the private family business) has got invested in AI companies. Also, he has indicated that mastery of AI is a race between the USA and China. It seems that AI has become the 21st Century's Arms Race, with the common people being the victims.

Don't be a "Stair" Case. Also don't fall for the Book. Advice from someone with a lot of experience of falling WOULD would not be Helpful. Install a lift, or sell the House and eliminate the risk. .Nev

The movement is getting stronger.

Here is a real content creator illustrating how AI has created content by cloning his voice and even mimicing the studio set in which he creates his material. Needless to say that the real person has been attacked by those Free Speech champions who support the White House administration.

Trump makes Idi Amin look like a Nobel Lauriate.

There has been a lot of talk about this event. The biggest debate is about whether or not this has shown that A.I. has collectively started 'thinking for itself - for its self'.

In all honesty, because I took time out to watch the Hawthorn/Brisbane game, I am unlikely to get a chance to look at it until next weekend. But once I have seen it, I will opine - and that opinion may be I need to do more of my own research!

Dr Karl gave a better layman's version of the Huggingface hack. The first autonomous instance of A.I. carrying out hacks.
