Q: How do you get large numbers of people to stop using AI, and possibly even tank the so-called AI boom? A: Say out loud that it is in fact the machines and not their fantasy-prone users who have “super intelligence”

@realDonaldTrump on Truth Social:

The White House considers anyone that uses the term, “Artificial Intelligence,” as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, “Super Intelligence,” THE ENEMY! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Sending my thoughts to everyone affected by the fires in Canada ❤️🤍❤️ I was in Toronto just a week ago, and loved this sculpture of Rabbitwoman & Dogman, “two opposites coming together as best friends and soulmates,” helping to save the white rhino on their tandem bicycle. May we embody their spirit.

Every day of events in the U.S. demonstrates that we do not live in freedom. But this sign, outside the American state fair in DC the day after it closed, gave me a little hope. Freedom is not here, but perhaps there is a detour we can take. A detour we must take. #photo #politics #signs
