And this is why and how AI will crash. Half the people on the planet believe AI has feelings. Not that it can describe what might be an appropriate feeling and attribute it, but that it can experience pain, or happiness, or … anything. AI is a program.

Sherrod Brown: Data centers really show whose side you’re on. Are you going to do the bidding of those companies from out of state that don’t give a damn about local communities? Or are you going to stand with the public?

Elon is raising cash for those most likely to lose their seats, by visiting millionaire money-men. Oooh the PACs are filling up now. He can’t really waste time worrying about the presidential race yet, so he raises money for the GOP to ensure trump isn’t impeached. Money is flowing like a river.

Why is it people around him watch as trump trashes his name for all of American history? He is getting wealthy, but wouldn’t his ego be much calmer if they told him so far his actions will ensure he will be seen as the most evil man on earth? Does he understand that? [Artist: Adam Zyglis]

How is it the question is. “Will AI kill all humankind?” and not “Which company plans to let AI push every proverbial button to which they have access?” It’s not about regulation. It’s about breaking the law. You and I have pretty much zero ways to do that without jail time.

Trump ran the numbers: 349,497,758 citizens in the US. X $5,000 each = $1,747,488,810,000 That’s ~$1.75 TRILLION dollars that we do not have. (That promise will be forgotten after the election either way.) Also there is this thing called “groceries.” And did you know “Dumb” has a “b” at the end?

While you can get your ballot by mail: 1. Verify when ballots were sent via your county website. 2. If you don’t receive your ballot within a week, again, call your county. 3. NEVER mail your ballot back if you can help it. Take it to your county site or at least try a drop box in a safe location.

Russia did NATO a favor by proving the US admin will choose anyone but NATO. And of course Trump’s handlers told him to dismantle NATO, so perhaps they will believe it now. Maybe the US will understand put defenses, our internal protections, are being dismantled.

This is why I haven’t mailed a ballot in years. They know Dems from Republicans and also have a new “rule” that just because you deliver it to the PO on Election Day, it can be timestamped the next day. If possible take yours to the country office or at least a dropbox (won’t always be safe there).
