Pēdējā laikā neatlaidīgi uzmācas domas par ultramaratonu. Varētu paprovēt Siguldas kalnu maratonu rudenī. 70K ar kopējo kāpumu 3K. Divas reizes esmu skrējis pusi distances, pagājušo gadu bija traki, pēdējos 5 no 35K gāju, jo kājas sāpēja. Bet nebiju īsti gatavojies. Ir strjomna.
Ja pieiet šai lietai nopietni, tad jāsāk gatavoties kaut kad tagad. Ļoti daudz jāskrien, uz vasaras beigām jāskrien kādi 4 garie skrējieni pa 30 un 40K. Varētu itkā sākt ultramaratonu skriešanu ar kaut ko mierīgāku, piemēram, Rīga - Valmiera, bet meh, savu pirmo maratonu noskrēju kā reizi Sigulda - Līgatne - Sigulda. Lija lietus, manas asaras nevarēja redzēt, neko nenožēloju.
Jānoskrien maijā Rīgas maratons, jāuzstāda jauns PR un tad jau redzēs kā tā lieta ies. Jāiemācās beidzot normāli baroties skriešanas laika un tad jau tā lieta aizies. |

15. februāris un strava man saka, ka 100K skriešanas izaicinājums februārī ir izpildīts(101K 9h42min). Man ir aizdomas, ka 300K nesanāks. |

Šodien konstatēju, ka varu skriet 10 min ar tempu 4:30min/km pie pulsa 142bpm un mierīgi elpot caur degunu. Varbūt tiešām šopavasar izdosies uzstādīt jaunu personigo rekordu maratona distancē, jāturpina nopoetni gatavoties, pagaidām sanāk. |

"AI has the potential to be dangerous for humanity if not developed and managed responsibly. Here are some key risks:
1. Unintended Consequences
Misaligned Goals: AI systems might optimize for objectives that don't fully align with human values, leading to harmful outcomes. For example, an AI tasked with maximizing efficiency might exploit resources or harm humans if not properly constrained.
Unpredictable Behavior: Complex AI systems, especially those using deep learning, can behave in ways that are difficult to predict or understand, even for their creators.
2. Autonomous Weapons
AI-powered weapons could make lethal decisions without human intervention, leading to unintended escalation in conflicts or misuse by malicious actors.
The proliferation of such weapons could destabilize global security.
3. Job Displacement
AI automation could lead to widespread job losses, particularly in industries reliant on repetitive tasks, exacerbating economic inequality and social unrest.
4. Surveillance and Privacy Violations
AI can be used for mass surveillance, enabling governments or corporations to monitor and control populations, eroding privacy and civil liberties.
5. Bias and Discrimination
AI systems trained on biased data can perpetuate or amplify existing societal biases, leading to unfair treatment of certain groups in areas like hiring, lending, or law enforcement.
6. Concentration of Power
AI development is dominated by a few large corporations and governments, which could lead to monopolistic control over technology, further concentrating power and wealth.
7. Existential Risks
Advanced AI systems, particularly artificial general intelligence (AGI), could surpass human intelligence and become uncontrollable. If their goals are not aligned with human survival and well-being, they could pose an existential threat.
8. Dependence on AI
Over-reliance on AI systems could make societies vulnerable to catastrophic failures if those systems malfunction or are compromised.
9. Malicious Use
AI can be weaponized by bad actors for cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, or other harmful purposes, making it easier to cause large-scale damage.
10. Environmental Impact
Training large AI models requires significant computational resources, contributing to energy consumption and environmental degradation.
Mitigating the Risks
To address these dangers, it is crucial to:
Develop AI with robust safety mechanisms and ethical guidelines.
Ensure transparency and accountability in AI systems.
Promote international cooperation to regulate AI development and use.
Invest in research to align AI goals with human values.
Foster public awareness and engagement in AI governance.
While AI has immense potential to benefit humanity, its risks must be carefully managed to avoid catastrophic outcomes." |

"Between this, Deepseek's advances, and China investing 1 trillion yuans into AI, the race to AGI is really heating up. It seems we have hit a point of no return. No one is really discussing AI safety anymore, even though it could be a bigger existential threat than nuclear weapons. If the singularity is near, this is the most interesting time in human history. It may also spells the end of human history." |

The U.S. Treasury has granted Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) full access to the federal payment system, allowing his team to oversee financial transactions related to Social Security, Medicare, and government contractors. This unprecedented move has massive implications- it hands a billionaire direct influence over critical government operations with little oversight, raising concerns about corporate capture, data privacy, and national security.
Given Musk’s extensive business interests and foreign ties, this access creates serious conflicts of interest, as well as the risk of government functions being privatized under the guise of “efficiency.” A top Treasury official resigned over the decision, signaling internal pushback, but the fact that this was allowed to happen at all exposes just how much power billionaires have over public institutions. This is yet another example of how capitalism prioritizes the ultra-rich over ordinary people, eroding democracy and concentrating control into the hands of a few.
That being said, this situation is unprecedented. So the unanswered questions are actually more important than the questions that can be answered- such as:
How is it acceptable that a billionaire with extensive private business interests is given full access to the U.S. Treasury's federal payment system? What safeguards, if any, are in place to prevent Elon Musk from using this access to benefit himself or his companies? Why is there no public oversight or transparency over how this decision was made? What does this say about corporate influence over government operations? If a single billionaire can gain control over sensitive financial data, can we really call this a democracy?
What are the implications of someone with Musk’s business ties- including connections to foreign governments and investors- having access to federal financial infrastructure? Why do politicians and media figures who cry about "national security threats" from TikTok remain silent about this? Is this just another example of selective outrage that serves corporate interests?
How does this affect data privacy for everyday Americans? Should we be concerned that Musk, who already owns a massive share of the U.S. communication infrastructure (Twitter/X, Starlink), now has insight into Social Security, Medicare payments, and government contracts? Given his track record of erratic leadership and favoritism toward right-wing interests, what are the risks of this data being misused?
What does this mean for public institutions? If Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is gaining control over financial systems under the guise of “efficiency,” is this just another attempt to privatize essential government functions? When has billionaire-led privatization ever actually benefited the working class? Should we be bracing for job cuts, deregulation, and austerity measures that only serve the ultra-rich?
How does this fit into the broader struggle between the billionaire class and the working class? Why is the government prioritizing giving a billionaire unchecked power while millions of Americans struggle with debt, rent increases, and lack of affordable healthcare? If the U.S. government is so quick to hand Musk power, why is it unwilling to take any of his wealth to fund social programs? How much more power will billionaires accumulate before people realize we are living under oligarchic rule? |

Vakar nogāju 24K pa mazajiem kangariem. Šodien 8K pa buļļu kāpām, bonusā uzskrēju svētdienas garo 19K ar tempu 5:42min/km. Beidzot laikam jūtos viegli saguris.
Skrējienā pārsteidza, ka es reāli izbaudu tā saucamos "sliktos" laikapstākļus - ass ziemeļvējš, slapjš sniegs un +1. Skrienu un esmu laimīgs. Tagad tā normāli štirī.
Ir plāns uzstādīt jaunu PR maratonā distancē (gribētos 3h45min), pagaidām pat sanāk kaut necik nopietni gatavoties. |
