These protestors are committing the crime of false imprisonment

Should drivers legally be allowed to drive through crowds if they feel their life is in danger?

#AI systems are frequently flagging human behavior as “inauthentic.” Do you really want these flawed systems making decisions about your life?

[Scott Ernst (Insights) @InsightsBySE]

The hysterical "#AI #singularity" theory is being pushed to create a public crisis that results in government control of AI and subsequent regulatory capture allowing insiders to ultimately control AI with government resources to crush competition and dissenters.

Three different skill sets:
1) Playing the game
2) Coaching the game
3) Analyzing the game
There is significant overlap among the skill sets, but proficiency in one does not always result in proficiency in the other two.

The “ruling” elites are merciless and ruthless criminals. They all lie, cheat, and steal.

U.S. consumers pay for U.S. #tariffs through increases in prices of goods & related services. U.S. tariffs are effectively a federal sales tax. If refunded, consumers receive nothing. There has been a massive, historic surge in U.S. tariffs during current Trump administration.

#Apple $AAPL is positioned for phenomenal future domination. With more than 2.5 billion active devices, Apple controls the bridge between sellers and customers. If sellers want to reach 2.5 billion active devices, they must go through Apple. 💰🇺🇸

Two doses of #measles vaccination provides 97% lifetime protection. Some vaccines have been proved overwhelmingly effective. Unvaccinated persons are spreading measles in the United States causing a 35-year high in cases.

@BernieSanders Human failure caused the problem. Open AI failed to air gap the testing environment. Basic testing protocol. Human failure.

If a person uses a tool to commit a crime, the person is criminally prosecuted. Did #OpenAI’s hacking of #HuggingFace violate any criminal law? If not, why not? If yes, when will the suspect be arrested?

The amount of deceitful and misleading content in the news is disturbing

American #taxpayers will spend more than $100 billion on the #IranWar to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon that can’t reach the U.S.
How much have other taxpayers in the “global community” paid?
Why do U.S. taxpayers get stuck paying for every global problem?

#AI detection tools frequently result in false positives, especially for writers who are very organized and logical. Moreover, a prompt can be easily created to produce writing that appears human. Readers need to be vigilant.

NEW: Substack launches an AI-detection feature, allowing users to scan articles & comments for “AI slop.”

[Scott Ernst (Insights) @InsightsBySE]

#Taxpayers & government representatives spend too much time focusing on the amount of government spending rather than the results of government spending. More time must be spent evaluating the results rather than simply increasing or decreasing spending.
Quality over quantity.

Everything about war is controversial, incl. reporting about injuries & casualties. Democratic transparency with the public is essential, but when & how reported is difficult to balance against military strategic needs. Sometimes, OPSEC justifies delayed reporting.

AI can do the math better than humans, but it can’t explain why the math occurred

[Scott Ernst (Insights) @InsightsBySE]

#AI has unparalleled ability to find correlations in history that humans cannot find. AI cannot predict the future, but AI has unparalleled ability to create future probabilities based on history. However, AI struggles with causation b/c it lacks human experience.

When people speak of “higher dimensions,” they often commingle different types of dimensions (e.g., spatial, time, data, etc.). Data dimensions are infinite, but lose pragmatic value at clear levels.
