Comment Anybody who seriously asks that question (Score 1) 49

This is an instant IQ test for people who ask that question.

We ought to have 1 simple question every election that if you fail you can't vote. People can fight over it ahead of time. Even with it leaking out, without a phone around, I bet 20% fail to answer it correctly despite debates and news coverage of it. I'm of course referring to Americans.

Also foreign students pay much higher tuition rates plus they rent housing; causing many schools to have major budget problems where 1/3 of their revenue is gone. Enrollment is down as well. A few more years in the red and you can expect to hear about closings. Staff layoffs and hiring freezes are already in effect.

No, Obama's 50% blackness was the over-reach.

Notice the swing backwards 50 years and the repealing of parts of the civil rights act? (they are about to gut it; likely this year.) But they did try hard to destroy the healthcare "system" and go back to near anarchy again. Hell, we're swinging back towards anarchy as well. Rich people love to exploit the masses who are unable to organize.

Lot of good it'll do as the terminators kill us all...
They should have renamed themselves Skynet; maybe then Drump wouldn't have added to the problem.

(PS I don't think it's going to be intelligent. but that doesn't mean it can't follow the plotline of all those sci-fi books which nearly all say to kill humans.)

Comment Re:Bad Science: It was No Child Left Behind (Score 0) 106

I've said for decades now, it was DESIGNED to ruin public education by the GOP I know an insider who told me so! Education was too popular so it had to be ruined so then it can be "reformed" in the way they want. We are so great and super we can wreck a few generations and somehow become #1 anyway; their beliefs will make us even greater, blah blah blah. It's a cult and their baseless plans are a faith. It all began with Nixon. The current plan however began with Bush Jr. It had enough to appease democrats and the idea was to try to use them against themselves. Screwing up good ideas which help sell the thing and keep it going... Similar to how mega corp disasters end up in regulations designed to slightly curb them but mostly harm smaller competition if not directly strengthen the criminals.

By the time the lawsuits are done Hegseth will be done and they probably will win some money. Also they should monitor his personal usage to the free apps they provide him... probably plenty of stuff in there and he's not smart enough to avoid it; also not illegal, you could put in a disclaimer and he'd miss it.

Comment Perfect Crime (Score 1) 37

You launder crimes with an AI bot in a way that provides no trail back to your actual clear orders... a local AI or maybe one pretending to be a mobster and you forgot to tell it to switch out of character...

When the crime comes back to you; if it does, depending on how well you set all this up... you have plausible deniability. You could simply have a history of training the bot to understand your inferred intent (which they seem to be doing maybe? or it's close to inference which is the BFD of the century if it's really doing that.) This would be just like a mobster does (or like Trump does) and keeps them from obvious clear cut convictions; mandating reasonable conclusions to be drawn from common sense (which is not so common; especially, in the USA.)
