AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the treatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, with a comparison made to Russian health resorts, suggesting that conditions at Guantanamo may be more humane. It raises concerns about the lack of due process for detainees, emphasizing that many may be unjustly held without trial or proper investigation into their alleged links to terrorism. The conversation highlights broader issues of justice and the presumption of guilt in various legal contexts, such as traffic violations, questioning whether adequate efforts are made to investigate the innocence of those captured in conflict zones like Afghanistan. The overarching concern is the fairness of detaining individuals without sufficient evidence or legal recourse.

One thing about it though, there's no due process for those guys - so no way to ascertain the facts of their activity in terrorism. Do some of them have links to the Taliban? Certainly, but some of them might not, and it is unjust to detain them without any trial or investigation.
 
The more I notice things, that seems to be the way things work.

For example, something as simple as a traffic ticket. As soon as that ticket is written, your guilty. Even if you truly are innocent, you still have to pay to get a lawyer to defend you, which you may or may not be found innocent. Just try going to court to defend your innocence without a lawyer.

So of course anyone captured in Afganistan is going to be treated as a terrorist, unless some compelling evidence on there behalf is found.

The question is, is anyone looking?
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
