(202108091) About AI Blackbox Problem:
AI learns how to make decisions from human decided examples!
Then, how are those people made those example decisions?
Can they explain?
Also, there was a news a while ago saying there is a new AI design which does not just make decisions but also provides confidence level/score (as a percentage) for its decisions!
IMHO, all AI software used by law enforcement, healthcare, finance etc should/must provide a confidence level/score for each/all its decisions!
For example, if a face recognition AI decides someone in public is a wanted criminal, then, it better also tell what is the confidence/certainty level/score for its decision!
For example, if the the confidence/certainty level/score/percentage is less then %50 then it is highly likely to be a wrong decision!

(202108091) DEEPFAKES NEED GLOBAL BAN!!!
I for 1, absolutely think that, making all kinds of deepfakes of real living/dead people should/must be globally outlawed, w/ severe punishment!!!
Danger to whole world, for all kinds of (political & religious & social) public manipulation, is just too great to ignore!!!
(Also consider, how easily any relationships/marriages can be destroyed & how anybody can be, get fired from their job, or discredited & so on!!!)
(Also consider a future world where/when, all criminals committing all kinds of crimes easily walking-away free, even though there are plenty of (security-cam/(smart-)phone) videos/recordings clearly implicating them, because it is really easy to make/get very high quality deepfakes any/all videos/recordings, & so, videos/recordings are NOT accepted as evidence by courts anymore!!!)

(202108091) About "Sustainable" & "Environmentally-friendly" Timber Buildings/Skyscrapers/Structures:
In past centuries, building ships & buildings from timber had nearly destroyed all forests of many countries & not to mention there were many giant city-wide fires!
Maybe we should/must take lesson from history?
Not to mention, do we really want to constantly produce & use very harmful chemicals to fight against termites etc, in all future buildings/towns/cities?
IMHO, some architectural firms trying to bring back (large-scale) timber building construction is a extremely bad idea!!!

(202108091) INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES NEED TO STAYOUT OF POLITICS!!!
IMHO, all international companies should/must always follow local laws & NOT behave as misguided/naive SJWs!!!
& not to mention, if they help/support one side, in any local political/social conflict/issue, then all people supporting the other side would turn enemy against those companies & THEIR ORIGIN COUNTRIES!!!
IMHO, our world definitely do NOT need political/social polarizations to be increased by any/all international companies!!!
IMHO, international issues should/must be handled by international organizations like UN & NATO etc, or at least, should/must be handled between governments!!!
But, what if, origin country government of any international companies, does NOT want their companies to work for any certain foreign country, for any reason?
IMHO, in that case, that origin country government need to make a law or (federal) government (executive) order, ordering those companies to, NOT do any business in that certain foreign country (or limit their business there, in certain way(s))!!!

(202108091) DO NOT ALLOW EMPLOYEE PROTESTS/WALKOUTS!!!
IMHO, employees doing walkouts & protests against their own company is absolutely harmful to all companies & all industries!!!
First of all, which reasons are OK for employee walkouts & protests & which ones are not???
Who can tell/decide really???
& if any reason is OK then, would employees ever runout of reasons to keep doing more walkouts & protests against their own company???
IMHO, if large companies would not fight back against employee walkouts & protests, then employee walkouts & protests would be done more & more often!!!
& there would be more & more (& bigger) demands from the companies!!!
& those demands would become more & more about employee perks & compensations over time (to get more support/attendance from employees for walkouts & protests)!!!
& each time a company gives-in to those demands, it would encourage all employees of other companies to do (more/bigger) walkouts & protests!!!
Also, even w/o considering employee demands to come, think about how much work time would be lost (especially for urgent and/or high priority tasks/projects)!!!
Also, even w/o considering employee demands to come, think about how much bad publicity would be gained (by companies) (especially if they ever refuse any demands)!!!
Then what companies need to do to fight back???
Fire or at least cut wage from all employees attended walkouts & protests against their own company!!!
Fire all (toxic) employees who organized/lead walkouts & protests against their own company (& thus caused great harm & bad publicity to their own company & set really bad examples for the other employees)!!!
Toxic employees who cause harm to companies they work for, by bringing bad publicity, by disrupting work, by causing loss of labor/time/money, by trying to dictate business decisions of their company or by trying to dictate which companies or governments/militaries their company can do business w/ or not, should/must be fired immediately, from all companies, always!!!
(Unless we want such employees keep multiplying to cause massive harm to whole industries/economies!)

(202108091) ANTI-GIG-WORKER LAWS ARE ABSOLUTELY NEEDED!!!
IMHO, all companies using gig-workers (who are a lot cheaper for them), to massively lower their costs, to unfairly compete against full-employee-benefit companies/industries need to be stopped, for sure!!!
Unless we really want to allow them to (sooner or later) defeat/destroy all full-employee-benefit companies/industries, thanx to (low-cost) unfair competition!!!
Unless we really want to allow (sooner or later) all workers in all companies/industries to be turned to no/low-benefit gig-workers!!!
(Because that would become (sooner or later) only way/option to survive, pretty much for any company in any industry!!!)

(202108091) Autonomous Weaponry is IMMENSELY BENEFICIAL!!!
Autonomous Weaponry is bad because it does the SAME JOB as human soldiers, but only much better (much more accurately/cheaper & w/o needing any rest/break/sleep)???
Autonomous Weaponry is bad because it would save countless human soldiers from putting their lives in danger???
Also, could ever there be any guarantee that all countries & terrorists would always follow any global ban/law???
& if not, then, anybody not following the law, would get a massive advantage, or not???

(202108091) DOORBELL CAMERAS ARE IMMENSELY BENEFICIAL!!!
IMHO, doorbell cameras are like a much more advanced & effective Neighborhood Watch (thanx to modern tech)!!!
& so, they are immensely beneficial for law enforcement fighting against crime & so, they are immensely beneficial for common good of general public!!!
Also, IMHO, general public is NOT obsessed w/ privacy, quite unlike what self-appointed "privacy advocates" (like ACLU & EFF) always claim/pretend!!!
Also, IMHO, general public is always happy to help/support law enforcement (who are just trying to protect & serve common good of general public), quite unlike what self-appointed "privacy advocates" (like ACLU & EFF) always claim/pretend!!!

(202108091) LAW ENFORCEMENT NEED ACCESS TO DNA DATABASES!!!
IMHO, usage of public DNA databases for solving crime is quite innovative usage of tech & evidence speaks loud & clear, because of some of the worst & hardest to catch criminals keep getting caught (anybody can do a little research to see)!!!
So, usage of public DNA databases for solving crime is absolutely very beneficial for common good of general public!!!
Also, IMHO, general public is NOT obsessed w/ privacy, quite unlike what self-appointed "privacy advocates" always claim/pretend!!!
& only people who are really obsessed w/ "privacy" are criminals & their tireless supporters!!!
Also, IMHO, general public is always happy to help law enforcement (who are just trying to protect & serve common good of general public), quite unlike what self-appointed "privacy advocates" always claim/pretend!!!

(202108091) SOCIAL CREDIT SCORING IS IMMENSELY BENEFICIAL!!!
IMHO social credit scoring is a revolutionary tech that is immensely beneficial for common good of general public!
Think about credit scores, driver license points, school grades! Are they bad for common good, or the opposite?
If they are really/actually useful then why not take the idea to full scale using modern tech?

(202108091) IMHO, (smartphone app-based) electronic State IDs & Driver Licenses should/must never be allowed to be legal anywhere, because they can be easily reprogrammed later to display fakes!)
(IMHO, there should/must not be any doubt that as soon as they become legal & common, (illegal) apps to modify/replace them at will would quickly become available!)

(202108091) KEEP CONTENT CLEANUP ALGORITHMS ABSOLUTELY SECRET!!!
All major internet websites, where people share pictures & videos etc, are in constant battle, no doubt, against countless people, who use software bots to wholesale upload illegal/harmful content, non-stop!!!
So, knowing details of the content cleanup/filtering/searching algorithm(s) used by each major website is of huge value to those people, who create/distribute/sell those software bots, no doubt!!!
(So they can modify their software bots to defeat/exploit each content cleanup/filtering/searching algorithm!!!)
So, IMHO, it should/must be absolutely no surprise to anyone that, many people & organizations, who (obviously) think "there is absolutely no such thing as illegal/harmful internet content",
are always keep trying to pressure major websites to reveal their content cleanup/filtering/searching algorithms (to actually help software bot creators to defeat/exploit them)!!!
IMHO, keeping internet clean from all illegal/harmful content is vital for common good & whole future of humanity!!!
& so it is also vital that ALL MAJOR WEBSITES SHOULD/MUST KEEP THEIR CONTENT CLEANUP ALGORITHMS ABSOLUTELY SECRET!!!

(202108091) Problem Of Unlawful Access By Authorized Personnel:
Government/law enforcement personnel should/must be absolutely prohibited from accessing private/personal info of general public (like DMV records etc), unless required for an official investigation/reason!
(It is also wrong to consider such “unauthorized access” by authorized personnel as “computer hacking”!)
Clearly there needs to be a federal/general law to clearly/permanently ban such actions using any database/software/hardware used by government/law enforcement!
Otherwise, allowing such actions would severely damage public trust on government/law enforcement!

(202108091) WILDFIRES PROBLEM SOLUTION:
IMHO, "Do nothing (for prevention) & just let wildfires keep burning because they are 'natural'!" attitude is the real/main problem!
(National parks management people also have the same attitude? Or private forest owners?)
Burning biomass alone by itself is massive waste, let alone burning massive numbers of valuable/rare/endangered trees/plants & not to mention massive numbers of animals keep burning to death! Not to mention a lot of property loss/damage!
The real solutions are full/proper forest management (like forest thinning & creating a grid of easy access roads in all forest areas)!
Let private companies harvest a lot of wood for any usage & for producing biodiesel/biofuel!
Use autonomous patrol drones (w/ all kinds of cameras/sensors) to quickly detect any wildfires very early!
(Also, keep doing small controlled fires is a really bad idea, because it is still a massive waste of biomass/trees/plants & animal lives!)

(202108091) IMHO, Internet Browsers (like Chrome & Firefox etc) forcing usage of HTTPS, all-the-time, is NOT really about improving internet security (like they claim), because, HTTPS do NOT really prevent any commonly well known types of hacking, ransomware, malware, etc!
They also claim, it is also for improving privacy, but, in reality, general public is NOT obsessed about privacy at all!
Then, what is the real reason, for trying to force HTTPS, for all internet usage/users?
IMHO, it is actually for trying to prevent all government law enforcement, from finding/catching internet-based crimes/criminals!!!
Which is absolutely against common good of general public & so absolutely against justice & humanity!!!

(202108091) Why do we need a quantum encryption based internet exactly?
It would NOT protect against hackers or malware/ransomware, since none of them actually work/done by intercepting/manipulating internet communication traffic in the middle!
It would be pretty much only "useful" against government law enforcement, who are trying to catch criminals & illegal activities to protect & serve common good of general public!
Also, general public is NOT obsessed w/ privacy at all, quite unlike what self-appointed "privacy advocates/watchdogs" always claim/pretend & only people who are really obsessed w/ privacy are criminals & their huge fans/advocates!
(IMHO, a quantum encryption based internet can actually be greatly beneficial for whole world/humanity, but only if, it is a subnet that is only allowed to be used by governments & militaries (& UN & NATO etc)!)
