Alumni of The University of Max's Kansas City. AI is really really good at creating really really ugly pictures. None of that here (and no photoshop either). There is truth in real photographs, which is why AI is out to destroy real photography.

Todays NYT headline. AI agents are intended to replace all white collar workers. 2 possible outcomes: 1) They continue to go rogue and destroy society. 2) They work perfectly, and destroy society. Why do we need this?

AIs have long hallucinated citations to non-existent sources, but in a scary twist an AI proceeded to then upload a fake file to a repository and create the fake paper it had cited. Hallucinating AIs are changing the real world to match their hallucinations. www.reuters.com/technology/o...

For those who have not been following what is big news in Europe but not not here: In an attempt to kill an American general and an American journalist he does not like Putin bombed dozens of civilians ON THE POLISH BORDER. He is coming perilously close to forcing invocation of the NATO charter.

My cousin was on that train with Petraeus. She is the bravest person I have ever known. She is 85. This is the second time Putin has almost killed her. The first time was with nerve toxin. Yet she keeps going back to report from Ukraine.

Maybe AI can't blow up the world, but it can blow up the economy. AI is funded by bonds, a trillion bucks worth. If they became worthless: a meltdown like the bond crisis of '07. Problem is, AI still ain't doing what it's been sold to do. Maybe it never will. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

"Taint the Meat... It's the Humanity!" was a classic EC Horror comic about a butcher who evades wartime shortages by selling tainted meat that he hides with chemicals. Being EC it does not go well for him... or his family. And I have no idea what the relevance is, do I? ... Do I?

Putin put Trump in office. Trump stopped sending arms to Ukraine. Biden had made arms shipments contingent on Ukraine not attacking the Russian heartland. Now the were free to do so. So they did. And now Ukraine is winning. Russia is dying. Putin won the cold war... and destroyed Russia.
