In some sense you are right, since AI wrote you a skit you wanted to hear. Of course I always have to point out that when you pontificate about AI it is a good idea to ask if you can say the same thing about humans: "These days anything I read might be (written by) a human". Worse than that, a human just telling me what it "knows" I want to hear." You really don't need any quotes around the word "knows" because you are just perpetuating that myth that carbon based intelligence is in some way fundamentally different from silicon based intelligence. It is important to understand that it is an error in analysis to judge the content of the information by judging if it came from Alice, Bob, or Claude. Claude (or Gemini) will gladly offer references and allow for further research that Bob and Alice are unlikely to be able to provide, at least not in any reasonable timeframe. Yes, it is important to be cautious, but again that holds true for information that comes from Bob and Alice and actually a great deal more caution is warranted with them, because AI can make mistakes, but not nearly as often as Bob or Alice. For the record I'm not "pro-AI", just pro-truth.

Hu just told me he asked if Yu could do it and he said Yu can do it. Hu said he doesn't care, as long as it isn't Mi. Doing it doesn't interest Mi anyway, but I think it should be Yu. Hu knows why. Yu did say that is isn't up to MI, it is up to Yu. So I think we are all good as long as it doesn't have to be done by Mi. (Yes, I did that one so it may not be as good) ;-)

Nobody, including the OP, said that nobody could defeat "such a system." Would you say that people can break into vaults, so there is no sense in having them? Or how about there is no point in having cameras because they can't stop a bank robbery? Maybe there is no need for security guards because someone might have a better gun? The way security works is that you have multiple layers to protect and additional measures to support accountability in the event of a breach. The more layers the fewer people who will even try, the fewer still who will succeed, and for those who get the money the greater chance of finding out who got the money and holding them accountable. That is the best we can do, it will likely always be the best we can do, and suggesting that doing less than our best is the same as doing our best is lazy in both attitude and analysis.

The President can't simply press a button and launch a Nuclear device, but he has been trying to stack the deck to transform the Depart of Defense into the Department of Idiots and Warmongers so I agree that it is a (hopefully unrealistic) concern. Even if he can get the people in the missile silos to turn the key I believe he is too narcissistic to take the risk that would cause for him. However he doesn't need Nuclear to cause WWIII (or accelerate it if you see that as already happening) but right now we need to focus on keeping him from more "(destroy) America First" activity since that is his mechanism for putting himself and trying to keep himself in the position to cause greater worldwide harm. If we focus on that he won't continue to have the ability to continue to cause the worldwide havoc he causes. That is why I said " Now we have to find a way to keep Trump from finishing the job he started burning our country to the ground." It was intended to imply that one way he could accomplish that was continuing to wreak the worldwide havoc.

Nobody can argue against "alternate facts". That is the whole point of convincing the people have been conned that there is such a thing. Anytime someone is faced with an actual fact they will just say something else that is a lie and call it a "fact", take another bite of Trump's shit pie, and then sit there smiling with it smeared all over their face shouting "I won!".

Trump said to vote as if he was on the ballot and the US citizens did. It was the first time in history that listening to him and following his direction was the right thing to do. It isn't over yet, because we already know that he is fine with being compared to Saddam Hussein and many of us know what Hussein did to the oil fields in Iraq when he lost. Now we have to find a way to keep Trump from finishing the job he started burning our country to the ground. I hope Trump realizes he went from being the biggest loser in the country, having filed the largest loss in the history of the IRS, to the biggest loser in the world as not just the US, but the entire world, celebrates his loss. Trump was already one letter away from being a lame duck. A lot of people don't know you just replace the d with a capital F. Now we just need to get him out of the white house into the jailhouse where he has belonged his entire life.

So again you make the argument "because China". We are not discussing China we are discussing a company called BYD. You are committing the same category mistake the "exploding e-bike" guy made. Essentially that there are e-bikes made in China that explode, therefore it is reasonable to assume that all cars made in China will explode. Try making your arguments without mentioning China and see if you have anything left to say.
