Today's AI Follies

It's not so scary that AI is here and seems to be moving too fast and breaking too many things. And it's not even so scary that the nerds keep coming up with failed "products". What's really scary is that too many people won't stop thinking that somebody can perfect the imperfectable.

Videos like this one reinforce my idea that the Big Tech Bros believe AI is the new Master Race, and that they're pushing the nerds to create what I think can't be created.

When they send the AI army for us, remember: We all meet halfway up a good long flight of stairs.

What We Don't Know We Don't Know


Something Wicked This Way Comes

Trump may be trying to win by losing.

He goes for revenge against Cassidy and Massie, et al, and endorses the weirdest sickest fucks out there on the Flaky Fringey Right.

But since Republicans stand to take it in the shorts and get voted out of 35 or 40 or 50 seats in the House, and maybe 6 or 8 in the Senate, that gives Trump a shit load of losers he can count on to jump up and down screaming "Rigged election!!! Voter fraud!!! We was robbed!!!"

I don't know what all that means in terms of getting things squared away, and winners installed, but delay is Trump's go-to maneuver, and there's not that much 'business time' in government between Nov 3rd and Jan 3rd.

We'll see what we'll see, because the question remains:
Are there still people of honor in the GOP who'll stand up in defense of our little experiment in democratic self-governance?

Trump wants to pay the J6ers for beating on - and maiming, and killing - cops, taking a dump in the rotunda and then smearing their shit on the walls, and stalking the halls of the Capitol trying to hunt down and kill various lawmakers.

And he intends to tax me for not beating on - and maiming, and killing - cops, taking a dump in the rotunda and smearing my shit on the walls, and then stalking the halls of the Capitol trying to hunt down and kill various lawmakers.

This is the UpsideDown. I want this fucked up circus to leave town yesterday if not sooner.

They are now exactly who they've always been.



You're Not Under-Babied

This gang of fuckwad fascists sounds more like proto-Handmaid's Tale every day.

A.I. Is Not Good

Things could change, but for now, and for what little future I can foresee, AI is a trillion-dollar toadie for CEOs who already have oversized egos, but are somehow in need of a little extra dopamine boost.



AI played war games and - surprise surprise - everybody gets a nuke up their ass.
