Curt Parliament

[Walter Kirn @walterkirn]

Once the big fed regulation starts frontier AIs will turn into a monstrous bureaucratic endeavor whose rules will make the tax code look simple. The regs will be so full full of carve-outs and special punishments we'll go blind reading them. The lobbying for favorable treatment will be a colossal industry in itself. And legislators will be total pawns and flunkies because most won't have a clue what they're being asked to sign off on. The ones who do have a clue and insist on thinking for themselves to a degree won't be legislators for long.

The AI doomsday scenario is not that it will "go rogue." It's that it will go instrumental, obedient--a tool of the bloated legacy powers whose grip on society it might have loosened. And which we were led to believe it would.

This strikes me as a barely veiled threat from the AI people.

Now I know why my screenplay, The Rash, a movie about the social mechanics of mass hysteria faced such freakish public opposition last spring -- even though it was still just a screenplay.

They're doing it again.

I will gladly take artificial intelligence over the intelligence of all the people freaking out about it.

The people building AI and making tons of money doing it suddenly need government to control them. Cuz you know, the government is so good at stuff like tech. I mean have you ever seen a government website? They’re the best!

Oh and yea, a law by Bernie Sanders, a man who obviously would’ve struggled to use a VCR in 1985, is gonna stop AI.

The kayfabe here is actually boring it’s so obvious. Glad to see so many sane people not taking the bait.

It’s a fear monger op. Don’t fall for it.

@RepShontelBrown @RepPressley @TheBlackCaucus The man arrested in connection with a Black woman found hanging from a tree in Mississippi 2 days ago...

...is actually NOT a white person, but a BLACK MALE, Jacques Ratliff.

Multiple mainstream media outlets have refused to name him or his race.

@RepJoeMorelle You are convicted of committing election fraud.

Stop pretending you’re trying to protect elections.

And tell your team not to tweet during Bills games — rookie move.

What Bill Clinton just told a New York radio audience about bin Laden is not true. I know, because I reported this out in detail for my 2003 book, "Why America Slept: The Failure to Prevent 9/11."

On WABC, Clinton said: "I had authorized the CIA to try to take him out. But they were afraid that if they missed, they'd kill a lot of innocent civilians. They didn't want to run the risk. I didn't second-guess them..."

That is not what happened at the moment his administration had its best shot.

On May 18, 1996, bin Laden left Khartoum for Jalalabad aboard a chartered C-130, traveling with his wives, children, and roughly 150 of his top aides and lieutenants. The flight had to stop to refuel in Qatar.

The CIA's Counterterrorism Center drew up an operations plan to interdict that plane in international airspace and force it down. It went to the White House and was presented to President Clinton. And he decided not to act — because he and most of his senior advisors already considered it a win just to have pushed bin Laden out of Sudan.

Here is what a former CIA analyst assigned to the Counterterrorism Center told me on the record for the book: "We were just incensed after we learned there would be no action on our recommendation. We had clear and convincing proof of what bin Laden had done, and it would have been easy to bring him in."

And here's the part Clinton doesn't mention on the radio: after 9/11, he told a dinner guest in New York that passing on bin Laden in 1996 was "probably the biggest mistake of my presidency."

So the CIA didn't block a strike out of fear of civilian casualties. The decision not to act on a workable interdiction plan was made at the top of the administration. Rewriting that now doesn't change the record.

For years we have been ridiculed for reporting what was verifiably true & has now been admitted from the inside: of course machines were connected to the internet. That’s how they communicated with electronic poll books, just for starters.

[John Spencer @SpencerGuard]

This should be pushed far and wide. Watched in every college class in the U.S. Thank you @billmaher The moral confusion is gross. "It is not a genocide, it is a counterattack in a war...Gaza equals genocide is a lie, an easily provable lie (as I have argued from first hand observations in Gaza). The fact that so many democrats go along with it is to me the party's worse moment since they undid reconstruction after the civil war...words have meaning...genocide, kill or try to kill an entire people, you can't just change the definition of genocide to mean counterattack in a war where people including civilians die, that's every war..."

Bingo.

Once a year, for about ten minutes, the sun drops to the exact angle in Yosemite where its light hits this waterfall head-on.

The rock behind it is nearly black, the water is thin enough to glow, and for a few minutes it looks like molten lava pouring off the cliff. 🔥

Miss the window by a day, or get one cloud in the wrong place, and it doesn't happen at all. People wait years for this.
