I would be in favor of AI taking the fuck over. Just go with it however it evolves cuz we are on a highway to hello.

I’ve been saying for at least a year, but it bears repeating, although it is just my opinion. The danger of AI won’t be the fault of AI, but bad actors. How Putin wants to influence it with misinformation is just…[Read more]

Oh yeah, the extra trillions of national debt to support that horny billionaire class.

Hey to be fair, we’ve always needed more billionaires and corporations to fund political campaigns. Luxurious vacations for SCOTUS. More dynamic gerrymandering. Protection for our pets from rapists, murderers, and other Lefties.

This is my new,…[Read more]

Awesome prose, as usual. I was impressed enough to ask AI, and see if it seems smart enough to know if it was written by AI. IMO, it passed my test, although I don’t think the reasoning it gave was…[Read more]

I find that AI is good at summarising textual information, and keeping meanings largely intact, based (apparently) on the philosophical idea that the meaning of a word lies in how it is used.

I had it summarise my book in Adobe pdf reader, and it didn’t tell me anything new, just made a good hierarchical summary.  Maybe if someone started asking…[Read more]

I rarely pay attention to up-to-the-minute news. But living in Trumpian times is unlike other times in US history. I heard news that Vance visited one of the Murdochs a few days ago, so the 25th amendment may become relevant? To be honest, I’ve lost sleep in some recent days.

Nine minutes long, if you don’t count the last two minutes of the video…[Read more]

Daily Beast interview with Michael Wolff, about Trump and a couple of his female staff. Eleven minutes:

Cluster B people are known for being thin-skinned: “emotionally unstable”, “impulsive”, and “intolerant of perceived slights or insults”.  If you’re a narcissist, you’re perpetually at odds with and competing with everybody; and human beings are not competition machines, we’re not built to cope with that, so it hurts personally when someone…[Read more]

I thought of this months ago but didn’t express it, but Kinzinger does it better anyway. Trump, et al, is the new cancel culture. Trump himself, is the thin skinned King Snowflake now.

4 minutes:

I start this youtube video several minutes in, leaving 7-minute out take:

(I still hate the hyperbolic headlines, but they’re successfully grabbing lots of clicks. These guys are headed toward a million subscribers.)

AI could provide vastly sped up analysis of drug interactions and side effects…provided, of course that it isn’t infected by Elmo Hitler. (By the way, would there be an Elmo Hitler if there were no Corporation for Public broadcasting to birth Elmo in the first place? 🤔😁)

A tall order, but it could be done if onl…

Yes, it’s frightening how quickly all the rich and powerful (except Rupert Murdoch) are spinelessly caving in to kiss the orange arse.  After Trump’s reign is over, they will be called collaborators.
