Claim: Media outlets, such as the Telegraph and the Independent, reported that an artificial intelligence (AI) controlled drone killed its operator in a simulation. (The Telegraph, 2023-06-02)
Evidence (2024-01-01): The challenge to make AI and technology a powerful positive change versus a further subjugation of people depends upon the politics of government control versus monopoly control. Companies seek maximum short-term profit, whereas less profit, more investment and caring about positive uses requires more government and a focus on common good and not just private profit. If we can change the governance of technology to focus on common good growth and not a division of winner/loser, then we can see people having more control over their lives. Imagine that the tough, hard work, dangerous jobs are done by machines guided by computers and AI. We can see the prototype of these in how the U.S. is now fighting wars. The shooting is done by a drone guided by a smart guy/gal working a 9-to-5 job in an air-conditioned office in a nice town. Garbage could be picked up, sorted, recycled, all by robots with AI. Tedious surgery completed by robots and teaching via YouTube would leave the humans to the interesting and exciting cases, not the redoing of same lessons to yet more patients/students. Humans could live well on a 20-hour work week with many weeks of paid vacation.

Evidence (2023-10-24): These authors, who try to stay at the cutting edge of technology use, observe forward pathways for reflective practice, already established in the literature on MR, being blended with and further enhanced through the rapid development of AI tools. The team notes AI is not without use in most existing MR simulations as Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI) already exists in automated facial gestures and interactive statements (canned laugh and talking during a think-pair-share activity). These behaviors are programmed into the system and can be triggered by an interactor or even simple scene processing. Moving from this simple narrow AI (narrow range of abilities) to more Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which reflects human behavior, is the next step to consider as the future of mixed reality in simulation and teacher education begins to integrate AI into preparation and practice [ 36]. So, what is the future of AI and other emerging technologies in teacher preparation and how do they align with existing research and outcomes in preparing teachers in using technology?

Evidence (2023-06-17): The Military Value of AI Those aspects of war in which time is of the essence and advanced weapons are up against each other prompt many of the scare stories about an AI-dominated future. The scenarios usually involve machines deciding to go on a killing spree while their notional human controllers take cover. One such alarming possibility appeared in a recent report, quickly denied, describing a simulation in which a drone guided by AI used ‘highly unexpected strategies to achieve its goal’ and ended up (virtually) killing its operator. According to the story, the drone was advised to destroy an enemy air defence system but turned on any sources of interference with its mission, which eventually included an operator telling it not to attack. After this story created a minor storm (especially when it was assumed an actual operator had been killed), it was explained that this was no more than a ’thought experiment’ and not even an actual simulation.

Evidence (2024-06-05): "We sleep soundly in our beds, because rough men stand ready in the night to do violence on those who would harm us" Orwell cited Kipling's phrase "making mock of uniforms that guard you while you sleep" (Kipling, Tommy), and further noted that Kipling's "grasp of function, of who protects whom, is very sound. He sees clearly that men can be highly civilized only while other men, inevitably less civilized, are there to guard and feed them." (1942)"

Claim: Claims that novelist George Orwell once said, "People sleep peacefully in their Beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." (Viral Quote, 2019-08-07)
Evidence (2023-12-05): In his thought-provoking statement, George Orwell captures the sobering reality that people are able to sleep peacefully at night because there are brave individuals who are ready to employ violence on their behalf. This quote encapsulates the inherent paradox of society's dependence on violence for the preservation of peace. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who bear the burden of ensuring our safety and raises ethical questions about the validity of relying on brutality to maintain harmony.At first glance, Orwell's words may appear straightforward, highlighting the fact that behind every peaceful night's sleep lies the unspoken presence of "rough men." These individuals are willing to engage in acts of violence to protect their fellow citizens from threats and maintain order within society's borders. Whether they are police officers, soldiers, or other security professionals, these individuals dedicate themselves to safeguarding the wellbeing and tranquility of their compatriots.But let's delve deeper into this concept and explore an unexpected philosophical angle. What if we contemplate the quote as not merely a reflection on the reliance of society on violence, but also as an exploration of the relationship between light and darkness?
Claim: Claims that novelist George Orwell once said, "People sleep peacefully in their Beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." (Viral Quote, 2019-08-07)
Evidence (2023-12-05): George Orwell: 'We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.' We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm. [...] This alternative approach does not negate the importance of the "rough men" Orwell mentions; rather, it presents a complementary strategy that strives to prevent the need for their intervention in the first place.However, it is important to recognize the complexities and limitations of relying solely on empathy and understanding. Not all conflicts can be peacefully resolved through dialogue and compassion. There are instances where violence is the only effective response, where the rough men and women are indispensable. Moreover, empathy alone does not guarantee a solution that is mutually acceptable or just. It requires an intricate dance between empathy and firmness, between understanding and enforcing boundaries, to navigate the path towards peace.In conclusion, George Orwell's quote serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who defend our safety. It highlights the often-overlooked reality that our serene existence is not a given, but a result of the strenuous efforts of individuals who stand ready to confront violence on our behalf. While Orwell's words draw attention to the necessity of violence as a means of protection, they also spark a philosophical exploration of alternative approaches.

Evidence (2022-04-11): Remember George Orwell’s unminced words: "We sleep safely in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." (Chicago Sun-Times, 21 Nov 1998) [...] It is important, Buzzkillers, not so much because Orwell’s words got Grenier-ized, but that, through Grenier (and, more likely, through George Will repeating Grenier’s version), it has become accepted as wisdom. Even in his original conception, Orwell didn’t provide any evidence for the truth of this idea. He didn’t weigh the relative contribution that diplomats, politicians, and even public opinion have made to the maintenance of peace (whenever, that is, peace has been maintained). In short, he over-emphasized the contribution of spies, rough operatives, and soldiers to the overall picture. [...] But my final thought is "be like Buzzkiller Ben West – recommend a topic to me." You never know, it might become the next show! After all, people only sleep peacefully at night because Buzzkillers are out there, ready to do the rough work of busting myths and taking names on their behalf.

NPR pharmaceuticals correspondent Sydney Lupkin has obtained records that show what was being made at this Pfizer facility and who might be affected by the damage. Hey, Sydney. [...] LUPKIN: There are, and they relate to the drug shortages that happened a few years ago when Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. Health economist Rena Conti at Boston University told me this tornado at Pfizer is just another reminder that pharmaceutical factories are vulnerable to climate change. A lot of drug manufacturing requires access to water which puts the factories in harm's way in places like Puerto Rico or the Gulf States.
