“President Trump is innocent. President Trump did not commit any crimes. The Manhattan District Attorney’s office should have never brought this case.”

Mr Blanche says the defence will “refer to him as President Trump”.

“This is a title he has earned,” he said. “We will call him President Trump out of respect for the office he held.

“But he’s not just our former president, he’s not just Donald Trump that you’ve seen on TV or read about or seen photos of. He’s also a man, he’s a husband, he’s a father. And just like me,” said Mr Blanche.

Referring to the prosecution’s opening statement, he said: “The story you just heard you will learn is not true, and at the end of this trial, there will be plenty of reasonable doubt.”

Tak jednoduche to uplne neni ale ano takove uskali soudu porotou existuje.
Ma to mnoho variant,zajimave je i slozeni poroty pomerne netypicky z vyrazne vzd3lanych jedincu, takze asi pujde spis o fakta nez emoce

VON_GILOTINE: Tady pisou, ze staci, aby presvedcili jednoho, protoze ho musi odsoudit nebo osvobodit vsichni najednou. A kdyz presvedci jednoho, tak se prohlasi soud za nevyreseny a bude se skladat nova porota, ktera tezko neco vyresi do listopadu. A pokud vyhraje, omilostni se.

Oxford shuts down institute run by Elon Musk-backed philosopher

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/apr/19/oxford-future-of-humanity-institute-closes-


The center was run by Nick Bostrom, a Swedish-born philosopher whose writings about the long-term threat of AI replacing humanity turned him into a celebrity figure among the tech elite and routinely landed him on lists of top global thinkers. Sam Altman of OpenAI, Bill Gates of Microsoft and Musk all wrote blurbs for his 2014 bestselling book Superintelligence.

“Worth reading Superintelligence by Bostrom. We need to be super careful with AI. Potentially more dangerous than nukes,” Musk tweeted in 2014.

Bostrom resigned from Oxford following the institute’s closure, he said.

The closure of Bostrom’s center is a further blow to the effective altruism and long-termism movements that the philosopher had spent decades championing, and which in recent years have become mired in scandals related to racism, sexual harassment and financial fraud. Bostrom himself issued an apology last year after a decades-old email surfaced in which he claimed “Blacks are more stupid than whites” and used the N-word.

Bostrom – who popularized the theory that humanity may be living in a simulation, one that Musk often repeats – spoke about the closure of the institute in a lengthy final report published on its website this week. He praised the work of the center, while also saying that it faced “administrative headwinds” from Oxford and its philosophy department.

Shes right tho

Sorry za pay wall
