I keep thinking that Hegseth has the same relegious fever that ISIS had/has. That their beliefs are given and they have the right to do anything they want. He has taken Christanity back to the medieval days of the "holy wars" of the crusades. This execution proves it. Get rid of Hegseth

What going on with Walmart thinking. A floor cleaner zamboni moving around the store. But not with the usual driver, but no one driving. So less labor I guess. Progress? Except they had to have an employee walk in front getting people out of the way. Not progress.

I would say the average person who votes for MAGA or R candidates is either a millionaire or does not shop, or fly or pay rent or eat out or ... Most likely they are under the spell of one Donald J. Trump, unlikely as it is that someone can be that devoted. That is Jim Jones territory.

reading the economic state in Sept. Why is the US importing so much gold? Going into Trump's pockets? Americans have zero wage growth, in real terms, since Trump returned into office Prices in the past years were 3.7 percent higher Higher fuel costs driving up airfares 22.4 percent

The article writer today about Collins in the NYT has not done their homework. They say she is centerist and moderate. Her voting record with Trump suggests otherwise. Lets go Mainers. Vote her out in a few weeks.

Trump and Rubio weigh firing US envoy to Greece after reports mount of improper conduct. In the end they asked here to resign. Is there a differece to her, maybe some long lasting insurance or pay? Or were they just being "nice"?

It is the old paperwork that I'm really wondering what they were after this after all was what 15-20 years ago. How many people carry around all the paperwork, especially in a second home? I think it's more performative than anything else. Maybe they took out the comic books the kids used

Trump always had the mentality to do first, then say sue me and then drag it out in court so ong that he gets want he wants. I'm sure the kennedy center will be gone the same way. Maybe the White House if he feels in 2029 that he has to leave kicking and screaming.

And it is not that I have not been around AI before now. I first ran across it when I was thinking of a PHD and Yale had a area that was looking at AI back in 1970.

After 50 years of writing software and seeing what a human could do with mistakes in software there is no way I'll let an AI written program without serious review by humans. Could AI have written the Apollo lunar landing software as pefect. I think not.

Chs Yank @chsyank.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
I for one do not have any AI run any process, None, Never will. I wrote a backup program to perform exactly what I want. I could have used an AI bot, but then I might wake up one day and find that it deleted my entire store of data. Imagine running an AI bot that could do real damage to people.

Chs Yank @chsyank.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
Let AI go off and it will find something that a human would never do. We can never dream up all the necesary guardrails that fence in an AI bot. We humans use our logic and think "no one would ever do that". But AI bots are not human and have no "this is not normal" rules.

Chs Yank @chsyank.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
This is exactly why we cannot give any AI a job and just let it go about its business. Chat AI I guess is safe (maybe not for unstable person perhaps) but we need to stop AI from doing tasks that we cannot provide any real fences to what it cannot do. apnews.com/article/arti...

I'm wondering if the decades of research included: the American revolution, the French revolution. I sure there are others. Actaully what I'm worried about is what happens when MAGA refuse to seat the house or senate in January 2027 that have been won by election.

And still people don't think Trump is under the influence of Putin/ Russia what with the diesel deal Is this deal actually real? Based on reports from the Ukraine Russia war, Ukraine is doing a destructive job on Russia's fuel world. I doubt there is "extra" diesel that Russia would let go.

It's AI. I'm not going to change. I first learned about AI in 1975 and it sort of bubbled under the radar for all those years until just recently. But people was working on it all that time. So it's AI not some bullshit that Trump produces

It would be interesting if we could take all the "dirtbag" Republican Senators and have them run for the same seat in some dream/nightmare scanario. Who would win? Who are the contestants? I'd add Lee from Utah, Tuberville from Alabama & Florida. Just so many to choose from.
