Right up there with sexual harassment training.

One of my favorite jokes:

Did you know they are taking the word gullible out of the dictionary?

Really? (You can replace response with whatever response you get).

He has never had to know anything.

He is thick and a part of the thickness is being confident his β€œgut” knows better than those with expertise.

I think this is a reasonable statement. He is just not very smart.

I think this is the essence of it. When his admirers say he speaks the truth, it is not about facts, it’s that he speaks their β€œlanguage,” how they view the world. As they see it, he does not speak down to them, but affirms their ignorance.

That this nonsense is viewed as β€œintellectual” is beyond disbelief. The Ivy League needs to actually train our leaders in critical thinking.

According to the article, it was counter-protesters that threw the devices.

Exclusive: AI Error Likely Led to Iran Girl's School Bombing Pentagon investigators believe a bombing of a girls' school in Iran on Saturday likely resulted from inaccurate information provided by AI.

I have seen multiple posts, immediately reviewing I find one post that is not compelling. thisweekinworcester.com/exclusive-ai...

There are credible reports that the target was selected by AI. Thus the commanders of the pilots and the pilots are responsible for relying on a system known to not be reliable in making such determinations. AI does not kill people, people do. So to speak.

When the objectives keep changing, the war continues. I suspect an objective will be identified and declared achieved. And this will happen when the economic and political costs become unbearable. I hope this will happen soon.

My projects for many years, and many spin off projects, were enabled by NEH.

Though not the PI, several projects on which I was consulting were terminated. In one case, it affected multiple grants that supported multiple people. The immediate response was to go into crisis mode, figuring out how to support the people. I am sure this was the same for multiple projects.

As any credible team would.

It looks like war to me. The families of the dead children, I am confident, are not quibbling over the what to call it. Nor are all the victims in Ukraine.

I incline to do the same. But I am not the president.

What does that mean? Why does he always look like he has a corncob stuffed up his ass?

The overall impression is the president and many others within the administration as well as prominent figures at large are compromised by the Russians.

I cannot think of anything critical in my I would delegate to AI.

Given the argument by some that AI is β€œhuman,” can AI be charged with warm crimes? Or more appropriately the creators arguing their creations are human?

Using AI for selecting targets.

Just saw this on another platform. Overseas military folks getting prenatal care are being told that the β€˜host nation’ must provide this, but only after 36 weeks (just shy of 9 months). Landstuhl is not remotely a hardship tour. I think we all know what’s going on here.

Fetterman is also a buffoon.
