On the contrary, Sculptor. The POTUS is the final arbiter of what is classified, and what is not classified.

Final arbiter isn’t the same thing as only arbiter. Final means there are other arbiters that must play a role in an established process.

Sure, some of programming involves exploring what is possible, but the ultimate goal of any programmer is to solve a problem, or to automate some trivial or tedious job. I think the goal of AI programmers is to solve all problems and do all jobs. Yes, but… The AI per se would have no ultimate goal ...

One thing I’d like to add—I’ve seen a number of articles that predict that strong AI will be able to reprogram itself without human interaction. If so, AI could write its own programs. Really scary 😵‍💫 The myth that we can make a program to write a program has been around since at least 1980. The c...

Yes. This makes me think about Searle's Chinese Room. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room The man in the room understands something. It understands the instructions to write this scribble when he sees that scribble. He also understands the language the instructions are written in. So it is i...

When Kathy Griffin posted a photo of the then-sitting president’s decapitated and flaming head, she was cancelled for years, but when he posts a photo of the current sitting president being kidnapped and driven in a truck to his execution, Trump has a campaign for the presidency.

FLASH. Trump eats Asian babies!

Biden Bloodbath at the Border, they say??? It’s a thoughtless dog whistle, I say. I mean there have not been any nicked arteries or slashed veins in all the time that Biden has been forced to tolerate the defeat of a BIPARTISAN border bill, a COMPROMISE bill, that Trump ordered his minions to kill. ...

Poor mcthinks. Can't think, can only parrot. Now we know. The name is only ... aspirational. * It's not all that complicated. The principle in play is: - The government knows best. - The government knows better than you, what you need and what you don't need. MAGA means Make Amercia Great Again. - ...

State of the USA - Easter used to be … God Visibility Day. - On Easter, The Deep State, through its proxy Biden, officially praised Trans Visibility Day. It’s a coincidence, not a miracle! Yes. Just a coincidence. The fault lies with the calendar, not The Party. Never The Party. The people will be ...

I suspect Chomsky is right And if we want an end to the Ukraine War, our leaders should negotiate with Russia and draw a line at Ukraine ever becoming a NATO member and leave it at that.

What kind of instability are you inferring, here? ..the kind that destabilises families, eradicates ' normal ' schooling curriculums and practices, calls peaceful protestors terrorists and homicidal-maniacs disadvantaged victims, money-laundering, instigating and paying-for proxy wars, etc. etc. et...

There would be more instability under Trump?

..as opposed to any other POTUS?

No, more as compared to his previous term.

It cannot undestand what it is doing in ANY sense. AI can already "See" and "Imagine" the human world: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_7mIkDE8CM How is this any different from me telling you a fictional story and the sounds from my mouth invoke visual imagery in your mind? If ...
