I have a lot of problem with Firefox lately ever since the latest version. It is very unstable. My latest problem is the cpu seems to be very busy and stop responding to the mouse and the fan turn on ( high power usage). There a numerous times a window popped up and said to stop the scrip. This is what I copy down, can anyone tell me how to deal with the scrip problems? Here are the two:

Plugin-Container.EXE*32

Thanks

And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
