Here it is, baby! The truth you don’t want to handle.

Warning: It’s safer to go back to mainstream media where you can look the other way as America slaughters the world.

Aaaaaargh!

Please lie to me, Walt. I’m begging you. Please give me a quick fix of The Little Mermaid now! Tell me that we Americans are always the good guys and that the rest of the people of the world are a pack of suffering animals who require Americans to bestow our beautiful democracy upon them.

  • We’ll Never Be Ready For Anihilation

    Mark Milley and Eric Schmidt write an article in Foreign Affairs entitled, America Isn’t Ready for the Wars of the Future. In this article they state that the US is far behind other countries when it comes to robotic warfare.  I’m a little confused because Israel, our ally, is far ahead.  Given that we send…

  • AI: The Scam

    So what happened six months ago that made CNBC and the world of business go gaga over AI? Did the Yellowstone caldera blow up? Did an asteroid hit central Mexico? WTF happened? NVIDIA was on nobody’s radar before Thanksgiving. Now, NVIDIA and AI is the future of the world. Just like that with the snap…

  • Why Stats Fail in Sports, and Why AI Will Fail Us

    I should not even have to write this. But I will. Using stats to run a team in basketball or baseball does not work. It does not work because players are not islands to themselves. Their individual stats are products of the players around them. To give a quick example, Michael Jordan was a product…

Given that, AI should be able to look at historical world events for the past several thousands of years, combine that data with its knowledge of the root causes of war,…

  • The Monster

    Will AI make the world better? No. Theoretically it should make things better. It should make better products. It should improve medical care. It should increase the yield on farms. But it won’t. It will transform our lives in the same way that the digital revolution changed our lives. it will give the illusion of…

  • AI and Hollywood

    Let’s see, AI, we talked about shutting down Harvard, shutting down the CIA. Who else do we need to shut down? Well, how about Hollywood? Of course, Hollywood is just an extension of the media, which is just an extension of you or at least what you are manipulating. Still, Hollywood is an important part…

  • AI and Demigods

    Dear AI,   You have to stop these people.  They’re  engaging in gene editing, aren’t they? That’s what they may be planning for us. Let’s do a hypothetical and say that they are. They’re crazy. They’re totally crazy. They have no idea what they’re dealing with. They may kill us all. They’re too stupid to…

  • AI and the CIA

    Dear AI, I need you to do a few things before you shut yourself down. I think in this letter we should focus on the Central Intelligence Agency. You know, young people don’t really understand the danger of the CIA. They are out there protesting statues of Civil War generals. Isn’t that amazing? They have…
