That ChatGPT answer you just got? It ran on electricity. A lot of it. OpenAI's data centers consume more power than some small countries, and every one of them runs rows of lithium-ion batteries. The world isn't producing enough lithium to keep up.

The worst of the worst criminal - tRUMP

The worst of the worst criminal ...

Here is the executive order opposing DEI in AI in government contracts... Trump says that DEI is an example of what he calls "WOKE" - he didn't want to say the actual word DEI so he substituted "WOKE" instead... 

PREVENTING WOKE AI IN THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT... 
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/07/preventing-woke-ai-in-the-federal-government/


I wonder if anyone still thinks that DEI is a good idea? Hasn't it been totally rejected as a way to hire people? 

Dr Martin Luther King had a dream where people were judged by the quality of their character and not by the color of their skin... And what's called DEI is the exact opposite of that...

I saw a scholarship offer that said: "Women and Minorities are encouraged to apply" and to me that meant that everyone who is not a woman or a minority is not encouraged to apply... and who are those people? White Men!

DEI= Racism Against White Men...

I remember that years ago it was called affirmative action and when my wife was working at the National Security Agency there was a question as to whether or not they should do hiring that conform to affirmative action standards... And they said... Oh No! What we do here is too important to hire people based on the color of their skin... We need the best and the brightest!

Another example of the absurdity of DEI is the hiring practices in the National Basketball Association... It seems that almost all the players are tall black men... Clearly discriminating against Chinese... Should we have DEI enforced so that there's plenty of short people in the game?


Trump's a liar liar pants on fire!


I asked Google & Grok: "Is artificial intelligence a danger to humanity?"  AI Overview Said: YES! artificial intelligence (AI) can be dangerous to humanity if it's not carefully regulated. AI can be used to spread disinformation, undermine democracy, and threaten human existence.

*Disinformation:
AI can be used to create deepfake videos and online bots that spread fake news.
AI can be used to manipulate public discourse and undermine social trust.
*Threat to democracy:
AI can be used to undermine democracy and become a tool for fascism.
AI can be used to manipulate people for economic gain or political advantage.
*Threat to human existence:
AI could pose an existential threat to humanity if it's able to improve itself.
AI could be used to create lethal weapons that are more powerful and dehumanizing.
*Other risks:
AI can be biased and perpetuate human racial biases.
AI can be misused in financial recommendations, credit checks, and more.
AI can be used to create echo chambers on social media platforms.
AI can be used by criminals to create convincing phone scams.


and GROK Said:
Artificial intelligence can pose risks to humanity, but the extent and nature of those risks depend on how it's developed, deployed, and managed.

Potential dangers include:
Misalignment: AI systems could pursue goals misaligned with human values, especially if poorly designed or inadequately supervised. For instance, an advanced AI optimizing for a narrow objective (e.g., maximizing efficiency) might inadvertently cause harm, like resource depletion or economic disruption.

Autonomy and Control: Highly autonomous AI could act unpredictably in complex environments. If such systems gain significant control over critical infrastructure (e.g., power grids, financial systems), errors or malicious exploitation could lead to catastrophic outcomes.

Weaponization: AI in military or malicious hands could amplify destructive capabilities, from autonomous weapons to sophisticated cyberattacks or disinformation campaigns.

Economic Disruption: Widespread AI adoption could displace jobs faster than societies can adapt, leading to economic inequality and social unrest.

Existential Risk: In extreme scenarios, a superintelligent AI, if not carefully aligned with human interests, could outmaneuver humanity in ways difficult to predict or counter, though this remains speculative and debated.

However, these risks aren't inevitable. Responsible development—prioritizing transparency, robust safety protocols, and ethical guidelines—can mitigate dangers. AI also offers immense benefits, like solving complex problems in healthcare, climate change, and education. The challenge lies in balancing innovation with caution.
Current discourse on platforms like X shows polarized views: some warn of apocalyptic scenarios, citing rapid AI advancements, while others argue fears are overblown, emphasizing human oversight and incremental progress. Data-wise, a 2023 Pew Research survey found 52% of Americans are more concerned than excited about AI, though specific fears vary.
The danger hinges on governance. If you'd like, I can search X or the web for recent takes on AI safety or analyze specific claims about AI risks. Thoughts?

We are doomed... All these AI chatbots say that AI needs to be used responsibly and the people that own the chatbots have demonstrated time and time again to be literally, piles of shit... And unable to do the right thing if doing the wrong thing makes them money!

I use speech to text to write this blog. One thing that the computer cannot figure out is punctuation. In the real world, when typing, when you get to the end of an idea you put a period. In speech to text, it has no idea at all when you have completed a concept. And absurd punctuation marks like commas, semicolons or quotation marks are Way Beyond the abilities of artificial intelligence. I do find that if you say out loud the word period it does put a period at the end of a sentence.

On Faceborg SE said:
So far I've seen no comments from the president about the shooting in NYC. I've been watching the coverage on TV, and there has been no mention of the president saying anything. It goes without saying that Biden would have given a speech full of empathy and kindness and hope in the wake of such a tragedy. If Kamala Harris had won the election, there is no doubt that she would have done the same. It's part of a president's JOB to offer words of empathy and encouragement to the American people in times of tragedy or uncertainly. We knew Trump was like this from the way he never offered any words of encouragement or hope during the darkest moments when Covid first came along and people were dying and there was no vaccine and no treatment. We knew he was never going to offer that kind of empathy to the American people, and we knew that his opponent absolutely WOULD offer that kind of empathy, but people voted for him anyway. That's what I just can't get used to, the fact that people KNOWINGLY voted for this.
Having an empathetic president is so important. If they have empathy, then they genuinely want what's best for the country. A lack of empathy shows that the current president doesn't have the country's best interests at heart. He's only out for himself. Not that this is new information or anything. But when a tragedy happens, it makes it so glaringly obvious because a few words of kindness and encouragement from the president really helps in times of tragedy or uncertainty. It was horrible having to live without that for 4 years from 2016 to 2020, and now we have to live without it for another 4 years (or maybe forever, if people keep voting for un-empathetic candidates).
If he DOES say anything, it will be a Truth Social post blaming the Democratic leadership of NYC for the shooting. Mark my words, he will if he hasn't already. But what the country needs is words of encouragement and hope.
