The existence of the ‘Silk Road’ is not based on a single shred of historical or material evidence. There was never any such ‘road’ or even a route in the organisational sense, there was no free movement of goods between China and the West until the Mongol Empire in the Middle Ages, silk was by no means the main commodity in trade with the East and there is not a single ancient historical record, neither Chinese nor classical, that even hints at the existence of such a road.
Palestinians returned to Zeitoun in southern Gaza City after Israeli forces withdrew following a destructive incursion.
Residents described escaping under heavy gunfire and finding widespread destruction.

Any app whose objective is to target people who spend money on the most useless of things is going to be going after their data and ultimately their money.
Cursory glance at its app permissions: Microphone access, Camera access, Precise Location, Access to your Contacts and a ton of Ad permissions.

Nein, natürlich nicht!
Sie meint gestützt durch AI, die von den gleichen Leuten verkauft wird wie die, mit denen ihr Lieblingsprojekt, die ChatKontrolle funktionieren soll. Also von dem Schauspieler, der seinen paedophilen Freund schützen will, aber vorgibt, nur die Kinder vor Schlimmem bewahren zu wollen.
Und wir alle wissen natürlich, daß AI niemals Racial Profiling betreibt! Die macht nur das, womit sie trainiert wird!
