More on “last minute” attempts of election tampering, in progress. My link skips about 6-1/4 minutes into the video to save time, getting right to the news kernals. I’d say then that about 6 minutes that follow are worth watching.

Another fun topic.

“Just old news”, but IMO it’s “just” the newest version of Trump & DOJ’s attempt to meddle with our so-called corrupted election process that Trump, et al, has been claiming to be problem since 2016. The election denier cult hasn’t gone a way in ten years.

IMO Marc Elias has done more, in every state’s court, to fight and debunk Trump’s…[Read more]

I’ve said a few times now, I believe the problem will be “bad actors”. It’s increasingly easy for bad actors to use AI to benefit themselves or promote an idealism, with potentially horrible consequences.

AI is already able to design human gene-editing processes, with abilities to edit any other species on the way, including pandemic-enhanced…[Read more]

Old news, but new episode. Republicans in power in Georgia helping Trump/DOJ interfere with their midterm election. Interference began innocently enough back before the 2016 election, when Trump claimed that elections are rigged. This was when he wasn’t expected to win, and then he won.

But he kept “rigged elections” as a theme, created several…[Read more]

Gates on 1) Bad actors; 2) Job market evolution; 3) Psychosocial effects (especially on kids)

I watched it again, losing sleep, but feel I’m better able to understand of this flaw. I also got a summary from my Perplexity Pro AI:

You’re describing indirect prompt injection: malicious or untrusted content in a webpage—including HTML, hidden text, metadata, or page text—causes an AI agent to treat it as instructions rather than merely as dat…

So about the podcast that delved into “AI Consciousness”. They barely mentioned until near the end WHY this is an important topic, and they noted their procrastination.

WRT my POV, it should mostly boil down to “What kind of ‘human rights’ might and should machines be given by law one day?”. Any live beings (as in meat bodies with brains) have…[Read more]

I’ll get back to responding on this forum, but one of Trump’s Shadow Docket “emergency” maneuvers is coming up within days. Be honest y’all, who here expects SCOTUS to do the right thing by not just kissing Trump’s ass?

Well ok then, thanks for y’all being candid.

Now back to our regular programming, the Trump Show, Episode Fudging with Elections.

I’ve been expecting American politics and authoritarinist success to keep getting worse, and they have. I don’t get why others here don’t seem to be as worried or bothered by it. So I hope it’s because I’m wrong. In any case, I ran into a more optimistic view that includes a more optimistic prediction, and it reminds me that we’ve survived similar…[Read more]

How about waiting for AI to be sophisticated enough that it can be divorced from ideological capture?

So an AI free of illogic or ideological capture is fantasy […]

I think what AI “will become” will be more of an issue someday, but not before “what AI will be used for” is more apparent. AI evolution…[Read more]
