This university situation is not an isolated case. What are campus administrators protecting? What money sources are behind their decisions? Aren’t they also legally “in loco parentis”?

Took time out from my schedule today to tell Eric Schmitt’s office they can just take my name off their newsletter list. Had the chance to tell them how despicable and embarrassing the Senator for every resident of Missouri … 😡

Sadly, Super Intelligence •is• factually one of the stages of AI Maturity. Scary thing, it is just one level from The Singularity, when it becomes totally self-aware & uncontrolled by any and all programming. Game Over …
Graphic showing the 7 stages of AI Maturity. General consensus is we are @ late stage 5, possibly a bit into stage 6 with some extreme laboratory tests & experiments that are in the news lately. If we proceed to stage 7 - AI Singularity - it becomes completely self aware and virtually unresponsive to programming controls. Game Over.

As a St Louis voter, I’m so embarrassed by our federal officials. Also, I also can’t dismiss Sen Kennedy & his complicity in this half-baked clown show … Sickening.

Thanks to my local St Louis Post Dispatch. I’ve pinned down this historical detail: Exactly 100 years ago today: Teapot Dome “Scandal” isn’t even on the same lap as this Administration’s countless scandals. This used to be the most corrupt presidency we knew. Not anymore. Can’t wait for November.
St Louis Post Dispatch front page from 100 years ago today, Sept 29, 1926. Right-side headline say: “Entire Teapot Dome transaction tainted by corruption, Court declares, upholding Government”.  This used to be the most corrupt presidency we knew of. No more …

To be TRUTHFUL (look it up if you don’t know what it means), I don’t completely recall each & every topic in the GOP Cabal Plot Plan called Project 2025, but this appears to expand their ‘scorched earth’ attempt at world control. @maddow.bsky.social @marcelias.bsky.social @clairecmc.bsky.social
St Louis Post Dispatch/Reuters story excerpts on how this current administration is attacking the International Criminal Court (ICC) by cutting off funding. The headline reads “US MAY SANCTION ICC TRIBUNAL”. Text states how Marco Rubio wants to cut support funding for the Tribunal, effectively incapacitating the Court.

Seems to this District 2 resident (pretty sure?!??) that the Bob Onder and the “team” @ 8th District are already a lap down. SCOTUS will have counties use the 2022 map as many ballots have already gone out based on the last SCOTUS agreement with the Missouri Supremes just days ago … 🤷‍♂️

Oh Good. Can’t Wait. Turner Classic Movies (TCM) thought it a great idea to air Stanley Kubrick’s 2001-A Space Odyessy tonight, Thur Sept 17 @ 8pm, 7pm Central. *** Tell TCM not to air. *** We’re just about to live it … “I’m afraid I can’t do that, Dave”
Newspaper Entertainment Section of the St Louis Post Dispatch giving info on Turner Classic Movies airing of an evening of Stanley Kubrick films. 
It includes •2001-A Space Odyessy• with the Super Villain Sentient Computer “HAL” telling Dave he refuses to open the pod bay doors to save a fellow astrnaut from space.

About this whole AI thing. Thanks to Jenn Trickey running for Missouri House, I see how we are on the precipice of a pretty scary future. While SIRI, ALEXA and SPAM FILTERS exist & are low level AI, the door to the next level is more than just ajar. We •are• speeding on the way to AI Singularity.
Graphic displaying the 7 stages of AI Maturity/Development as we know it today. Stages 3 & 4 are simple intelligence like searches, Roomba programming, “intelligent” appliances and “if/then” macro programming. We are at Stage 5 (maybe a foot inside 6) that offers ChatGPT, Claude, LLMs and some laboratory science digital experiments. Once our civilization reaches Maturity Stage 7, it will control anything digital with no ability for programming to control its further advancement or decision making. It will be totally self-aware. Game Over.

Early Thursday morning Supreme Court hearing displayed how weak Hoskins' position is. Add to that, the MO Legislature penned a letter threatening to impeach the judges who won’t follow a “supremacy theory” made up out of whole cloth. Me? Justice prevails. Please note the names on the letter …
Official letter of MO legislators threatening the MO Supreme Court judges with impeachment should they choose to charge the Sec of State w/contempt. These are the names of those legislators who deemed it necessary to threaten SupremeCourt Judges w/ impeachment if they chose to “follow the law” and hold the Sec of State in comtempt

Trump on truth , threatened the FED chair to drop interest rates or he’d cancel trade with nations we have a deficit. Steve Liesman, CNBC just said one has nothing to do with the other - “It’s like saying if you don’t clean your room, I’ll go next door & kick the neighbor’s cat.” A stupid threat. 🤷‍♂️
