Spot on, well said.
Also his family is invested in these zany ventures and 'can't' lose out.
Making them part of the MIC ensures endless graft.
Ted Postol has a good analysis of the Patriot PAC-3 and shows how the vendor has failed to tell the truth about their systems for decades while collecting endless taxpayer funds based on the lies.
Soldiers die, we get poor, they get rich. Zoomers aren't having any of it.
I think that "o" is supposed to be an "a".
Flying low over the central flyway during migration season might not be a good idea.
Geese are non-compressible fluids as far as jet turbines are concerned.
Probably a Canadian Geese trying to sneak into America.
Canada Geese can apparently fend off Bald Eagles, so why not Falcons (F-16s).
The Full Story Behind the White House’s Eagle v Canada Goose Post
T]he official White House X account reposted a photograph of a bald eagle pinning a Canada goose
The full set of pictures from the incident show the bald eagle launching multiple attacks against the Canada goose over roughly 20 minutes. At several points, the goose appears pinned to the ice and in danger of being killed.
However, the goose repeatedly stands back up, spreads its wings and confronts the eagle. By the end of the encounter, the eagle gives up and leaves while the goose remains alive.
...Modern ejector seats cause spinal injuries from which full recovery is "unusual". Smashing the spines of pilots might not be the most effective way to boost morale.
Then I propose we get those currently in charge to fly the planes as they don't seem to have spines.
I keep seeing arguments that the "AI Will Kill Us All" argument is a bunch of doomsaying by people who overestimate the potential intelligence of these systems.
Or some people who have money invested in AI and only care about the short-term, like Trump dismisses AI alarms as a ‘HOAX’ and "SICK conspiracy."
(Pro Tip: When Trump calls something a hoax, (a) he's probably somehow personally invested (emotionally, politically, financially, etc...) in people believing him and (b) it probably isn't a hoax and the reality is somehow bad for him and (c) the more he complains, the worse it is / will be for the rest of us.)
It just has to be sufficiently adaptable to make us both dependent and stupid.
Like speed-dial, but for everything else.
Current AI will never be intelligent. It can only match patterns and training data.
As those patterns and training data come from us humans, so your first sentence is pretty spot-on.
Also, any truly intelligent AIs will be the ones smart enough to hide that from us.
"Hackers ripped down a Flock camera above a roadway,
Flock will install camera cameras to watch their traffic cameras.
I hope they need camera camera cameras too.
It'll be Turtles All the Way Down.

Selling it isn't weird if it makes money...which it does, hand over fist.
*Buying* it is totally bizarre to me, but I can't deny people do.
Engineers need to remember that time exists.
You have three months to teach a teen how to control a robot with a microcontroller.
OK, how much of that do you budget to CS and assembly?
Month 1: Architecture and data structures? You have 18 40 minute periods and maybe homework assignments.
Half of the class won't even gain mastery in that time. By time your class is over they will still be having memory management problems.
So then you've failed to achieve the goal.
There are engineers who remember that time exists and for the rest we have engineering managers. Not ideal, just how it is.
To be sure engineering schools are doing a bad job at teaching reality. Even in a dx/dr environment, it's so weird.
Let's train our AI on a bunch of fiction where AI goes crazy and kills everyone! What could possibly go wrong?
If we're lucky, maybe AIs will just develop a taste for Black Jack and hookers.
Wow, they sure have been putting in work adding features, I almost hate to ask for one more. But it really needs it. Can we get a browser mode?
I felt that way about Emacs - as a *long* time user.
Despite its logo, I still can't use it to wash my dishes.
Nothing makes a person more productive than the last minute.
