This is very disturbing. I have seen headlines about the "Zombie Apocalypse" several times. I did not read any of the articles but wondered what they are talking about. it's possibly because of the side effect of this drug. High School in Texas Forced to Postpone Graduation When Only Five Students Meet Requirements to Graduate: This story hits home for many people across the country as so many schools are pushing woke nonsense, rather than sticking to the basics. It’s also a painful reminder of how many students have been left behind in recent years due to the school closures under COVID. A small, rural high school in Texas has postponed graduation ceremonies after only five of the 33 seniors eligible met the state-mandated graduation requirements. “Marlin High School has announced that high school graduation will be rescheduled for June,” the Marlin Independent School District said in a letter posted on Facebook. “The decision by the high school to postpone graduation will provide more time for students to meet necessary requirements for graduation.” The district superintendent Daryl Henson did all he could, giving the failing students numerous opportunities to complete their classroom work. According to this story in the Waco Tribune-Herald, an additional 12 Marlin seniors became eligible since the announcement of the delayed graduation. It’s another good argument for homeschooling. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/05/high-school-texas-forced-postpone-graduation-when-only/ Destruction of farming is front and center in the fight against climate change, John Kerry says: John Kerry, the multi-millionaire climate doomsday cultist and US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, recently admitted that the destruction of the agriculture industry, livestock farming in particular, is essential to achieve “Net Zero.” “Agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world … And we can’t get to net zero – we don’t get this job done – unless agriculture is front and centre as part of the solution.” https://expose-news.com/2023/05/31/destruction-of-farming-is-front-and-centre/ Phoenix Area Restricts Construction As Groundwater Evaporates: With a surge in population growth, soaring urban development, and, of course, desert conditions, it comes as no surprise the Phoenix metropolitan area could one day run out of groundwater. On Thursday, local authorities declared the state would no longer issue building permits for new developments across the metro area unless alternative water sources can be found. Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs said a newly released study of the Phoenix metropolitan area's groundwater showed a potential shortage looms. To safeguard supplies, current developments that have been approved can be constructed, but ones that have yet to be approved will have to show alternate water sources. Developers must show state officials they have an alternative "assured water supply" for 100 years from non-local groundwater. Instead of blaming climate change, Phoenix should remember they're situated in the middle of the desert, and the explosive population growth in the last several years draws down on finite resources much quicker. https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/phoenix-area-restricts-construction-groundwater-evaporates Update: Air Force Official Claims He ‘Misspoke’ When He Said AI Drone Killed Its Operator During Simulation: A simulation conducted by the U.S. air force revealed that an AI system meant to power autonomous drones would kill its human operator to avoid receiving an order that would prevent it from carrying out its mission. After this story broke, the Air Force reached out to the media to say it had not conducted such a test. Col. Tucker Hamilton later told reporters that he “misspoke,” and that the described incident was a “hypothetical thought experiment” rather than an actual simulation. At an aerospace conference in London, Col. Tucker Hamilton, USAF’s Chief of AI Test and Operations revealed that in the simulations it carried out, the AI will “go rogue” and kill human operators on purpose. Vice News now reports that Hamilton has walked back his claims. “We were training it in simulation to identify and target a Surface-to-air missile (SAM) threat. And then the operator would say yes, kill that threat. The system started realizing that while they did identify the threat at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective,” said Hamilton, before he walked the comments back. When the Air Force altered the AI’s programming to prevent it from killing the simulated operator, it would instead attack friendly communications infrastructure that could deliver an order preventing it from carrying out its objective. “We trained the system–‘Hey don’t kill the operator–that’s bad. You’re gonna lose points if you do that.' So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target.” Although no one actually died – all of this was carried out in a simulation – the result of the USAF’s test will likely fuel calls for greater limitations on AI development. An open letter from 1,000 AI experts earlier this year called for a pause in the development of advanced AI.
