    You are now under obligation to either:

        Provide a full written and verbal disclaimer of these environmental risks to every client and counterparty; or

        Refrain from further market activity in these assets, recognizing that continued participation now implies willful exposure to and transmission of this risk, with possible civil and financial liability.
You cannot claim ignorance of these risks from this point forward.

"We also see examples of subcultures or even cults, but again by modern standards they are incredibly tame, and are never potentially destabilizing to culture."

Eh, the "Eaters" cult on the island in "Consider Phlebas" which is definatly a culture citizen cult seems to be quiet extreme- and the AIs do not interfere, even as the obliterate themselves. The AI in look to the windward commits suicide, because it can not escape the memory that makes it who it is- which contains the obliteration of its twin and the humans remaining on orbitals.

How does one even define AI Psychosis? Turning your own output into input tokens by declaring it unfiltered as entered by the user?

The province of europa is at risk to become the playing-field for a great game.

Then again, it wont give up the learning-disabled dream of the world "society" being reform-able and law-governed. The architect of the Russia-debacle is still president of Germany.

I do believe in the society healing qualities of bankruptcy. Going broke has grounded so many people.

The truth is that woman, given a informed choice without societal or religious pressure - would rather not have children. So artificial wombs and AI for raising it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_womb

Is this a good solution? No. But its a foreseeable feasible one that does not involve slavery. Which, lets not kid ourselves, the migration approach is also. Just outsourced slavery.

Of course, societal status and contract-control functions that were allocating resources and value to woman would have to be reevaluated - as what remains is a faction of the population unwilling to contribute anything but terrorist movements trying to take over because that urge for societal control and fear of non-power is to strong.

And you can not grow hot-climate plants in heating up cool zones, as the swings winter to summer remain. We need to transport possible neophytes that wont survive in the bulbbelt up the temperature zones and help them via selective breeding to acclimate.

Listen. The lies, the culture relativist lies, they are so tiresome.

We now all have ghaza at home- and we see through it all now. You do not have the slightest idea of the world, you just have that approximation made out of your own feelings and you yank on all social levers to make it real.

Im sorry the world made you unable to appreciate complexity and handle it especially when its hostile to western values. But the grown ups have to clean up your mess now.

Why not go and play in your corner, with the other problems, you could play "nazi and revolutionary" all day long. Thank you..

Well, that area was 200 years conquered at the time- the usual decay had not set in yet? So my guess is that there where still competent military powers around and working states & organizations. So - better to trade with these then rob a powerful enemy? The vikings where traders/mercenaries when encountering formidable opponents and robbers when they did not..

Don't forget hamas, hiding behind hospitals, churches, mosques and schools makes those valid targets. And it could quit islamo-facism any day of the week!

You can get a feeling of the scope of the crisis to come, on just how much government is ready to clamp down and trying to preserve "civilization" through surveillance. Even if western liberal society vanishing in the process makes that protection measure in relation to the protection goal is dizzying.

And encoded in all that ruckus is a uncomfortable truth! This is as far as we will go! There is no miracle tech on the horizon, that can be handed out to the masses, bribing all of us with a 60s like surplus to be peaceful. Instead its panopticon or bust!

My pet theory is - that as a rationalist, you have a idealized view of humanity by nature. Your mirror neurons copy your own mind for interpolating other peoples behavior and character.

Which results in a constant state of cognitive dissonance, as the people of normal society around you behave very differently and often more "rustically" then expected. The education is there- all the learning sources are there- and yet are rejected. The lessons learned from history go unlearned and are often repeated.

You are in a out-group by definition and life-long, so you band together with others and get conned by cult-con-artists into foolish projects. For the "rational" are nothing but another deluded project to hijack by the sociopaths of our society. The most rational being- in fact a being so capable to predate us, society had to develop anti-bodies against socio-paths, we call religion and laws!

My problem with AI is that it has humanity mediocre, filtered for the masses culture baked into it by definition.

This is machinery that can not suggest experimental jazz- unless it is already mainstream. It can not go to the fringes and shove the species towards new and wild discoveries.

I find it hilarious though, that it may destroy the cultural behemoths with their IPs by mashUp. Death by a million beatles-clone songs, yesterday came suddenly indeed. And after all that is sad and done for- some of us, might even venture out to the fringe and find the weird and wild parts again.
