If my dog escapes from my yard that I have taken all reasonable steps to secure, and bites the postman, I'm liable.

I don't need to quote a AI source. I have seen that quoted in a documentary about Colman's business, but then again, that documetary was on Youtube.

Why is it that the number of slices in a standard loaf of bread is uneven? If one uses two slices to make a sandwich, and the end crusts are whole, one ends up with a single slice left over when all the pairs of slices have been used.

That is the taskthe Crown must complete in order to gain a conviction. There's manyu an offender who has not been prosecuted because the Crown says, "We know you done it, but we can't connect all the dots to prove to a jury, without allowing for an alternative, but reasonable, explanation of the evidence the Crown has gathered.

Bail refused. Kept on Remand until the Trial has been completed. It takes a long time for such very serious cases to come to Trial. Two years from time of charging would be quick. Witht eh number of charges involved it will take a long time for the evidence to be collated in a format that can be placed before the Court. The wheels of Justice grind slow, but fine.

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.

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.

It's ironic that the game created in Victoria, and derided for so long by the followers of other codes in other States, will have its 2026 competition decided by teams from at least one State which was amongst the deriders.

I heard that it has been suggested that Australia and New Zealand also become associate members of the EU. Probably just an idle suggestion floating around in the wake of the offer to Canada.

I read Jerry's "conversion" for pilots to mean converting from, say FAA licence to Australian licence. I don't think he meant type conversion.

Don't forget that these centres run 24/7, so basically you need the number of employees per shift multiplied by three. Then you have to add in for holiday and sick leave and other approved leave. The imgaes that are sometimes posted of one or two people walking through rows of servers probably hide the real numbers on site.

I can see where AI could set out the plans for creating an virus. But has it got the hands to manipulate the petri dishes to grow it in?

Most of us here grew up fearing The Bomb. The Bomb was something we could understand. It was something that was controled by governments and its use was contained by the concept of retaliation. Now in our old age we are being subject to a new fear - AI, which is something that is very difficult to understand. It is uncontrolled by the traditional methods.
