Wikipedia defines a humanoid as "a non-human entity with human form or characteristics". So given how utterly inhuman Trump and his sycophants are, it seems that the sad and cringe-worthy 'Robot-and-Melania' episode came very late to the 'Real Humanoids of Washington' unreality TV show.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - Fuck Google with a running chainsaw, sideways. Google needs to Just. Fucking. DIE!
How many years has it been since we figured out that Chinese computing and internet software can spy on users and report back to Beijing? And Washington is just now banning imports, without having first found and vetted alternative sources?
Even the routers that aren't actually made in China may use Chinese silicon which could have its own backdoors. The way to fix this is to have other manufacturers lined up, ready to deploy with tested designs and audited supply chains. The time to do it was - at the very latest - five years ago.
Given that, it's still better late than never. But doing it without having alternate suppliers lined up, and with no plan for carefully staged infrastructure replacement, seems rather lame.
How long will it be before malware such as this is used to (further) poison LLMs? Is there the potential to make LLM outputs strategically false and/or propagandistic and/or psychologically damaging?
IANAP, so I don't know if these things are feasible. But if I was a black-hat hacker with a grudge - or one who simply gets off on wreaking havoc - I'd be pursuing that course of action.
You have a very long nose most of the time, and no matter how hard you wish and try you'll never be a real CEO. Best just call that AI agent you're yearning for "Geppetto", because we all know which of you will be holding the strings.
"Grab your shotgun, Cletus, we're gonna hunt us some drones!"
I just can't wait for the golden age of drone piracy to begin!
The drones will undoubtedly be sending video home in real time, so Cletus and his bud will be hearing knocks on their doors soon after. OTOH, I think the EMP cannon I've been dreaming of could be camouflaged quite easily...
Regarding your second point, thanks for the correction.
Regarding your first point, I would argue that religiosity is possibly a prime mover behind, and is definitely a major and ongoing support for, the US shitstorm currently fucking over the entire world. I think it would be difficult to overestimate the huge role that religious beliefs and justifications have played in bringing Trump to power and keeping him there.

Does anyone seriously think the powers that be care about toy operating systems with a handful of hobbyist users?
All that matters is that Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, and probably some of the bigger more professional Linux distros are all going to comply and that's enough to catch 99% of the population.
OTOH, maybe the remaining 1% are more likely to cause grief for the powermongers. Also, that 1% keeps the possibility of non-compliance alive, allowing for the possibility of the 99% to decrease and the 1% to increase.
It's an age requirement, it has nothing to do with Epstein - everything you don't like can't be blamed on "the Epstein class."
It's an age requirement which makes Web privacy virtually impossible; therefore it has EVERYTHING to do with the Epstein class and their desire to control, and potentially exterminate, us plebeians.
Itâ(TM)s not as efficient, but with modern processors why is that important?
Why do the terms "640k", "ought", and "everybody" keep popping into my head?
More specifically, data centres are increasingly responsible for worsening AGW. Inefficient code wastes more power than it needs to; and that's literal, physical, P=E*I power.
I'm waiting to hear Trump suggest that there must be a way to direct meteors to strike Iran. I'm sure he's talking to Paula White-Cain about asking God to do him a solid. He's probably also hedging his bets, asking NASA and SpaceX if there's some way to make meteors fall on Tehran.
Anyone who thinks I'm exaggerating need look no farther than el Presidipshit suggesting bleach injections to fight Covid.
Sideways, and with a running chainsaw.
Seriously, in spite of all the grief it would cause people - including me - I would be overjoyed if they just fucking ceased to exist. That would be one less cancer sickening and defacing modern society.
The second sentence... you need a grammar check, there.
If you insist on being a grammar Nazi, you should at least clean up your own grammar first. The comma in the sentence I quoted is both redundant and awkward.
I hate the no edit a post thing here, too...
Really? Anyone with even the most modest pretensions of being a grammarian would blanch at that sentence. I suggest that you put your own house in order before criticizing the grammar of others.
And it looks like the U.S. will have to guarantee the Arab Gulf countries' security for quite a while.
I'm not sure the US is capable of honouring that guarantee just now. From what I've heard, it seems that - aside from nukes - the armaments cupboard is pretty bare.
That's the second time in a few minutes that you've made me laugh out loud - thanks!
