As if anybody trusted Wiki-anything, there is this…

Bot wars over changes…

Yasseri believes the work serves as an early warning to companies developing bots and more powerful artificial intelligence (AI) tools. An AI that works well in the lab might behave unpredictably in the wild.

Ya think??? Sigh…

And Amazon is claiming 1st Amendment rights in a murder trial!!!

Amazon is sticking to its guns in the fight to protect customer data. The tech titan has filed a motion to quash the search warrant for recordings from an Amazon Echo in the trial of James Andrew Bates, accused of murdering friend Victor Collins in Bentonville, Arkansas in November 2015. And it’s arguing that the responses of Alexa, the voice of the Echo, has First Amendment rights as part of that motion.

Project Veritas is at it again, this time with 200 hours of recordings from inside CNN, while it’s 2009 data apparently, it’s still pretty educational as to how they run the ‘business’, HERE.

And one more to think about…

Last week, The Wall Street Journal revealed that members of the intelligence community — part of the deep state, the unseen government within the government that does not change with elections — now have acquired so much data on everyone in America that they can selectively reveal it to reward their friends and harm their foes. Their principal foe today is the president of the United States.

I swear we’re living in Bizzaro land…

I’m really beginning to wonder if the left/loonies/POS/etc. are going to push to the point that we have to respond??? And do they realize what that response is probably going to be???

Sigh… I don’t WANT to live in interesting times again… BTDT, threw the damn t-shirt away!!!

  1. I’m considering leaving tech behind and becoming a Luddite.

  2. Hey Old NFO;

    I am starting to think they are making machines smarter than we are…From the leaks I have seen from the whitehouse, I am convinced that the “Powers that be” really hate trump because he wants to scale back their power and power is what matters in D.C. on the Potomac. It is interesting if there will be enough people that will take their oath seriously and do their jobs. and don’t even get me cranked up about the protest….jeez..

  3. As far as the left knowing what the ultimate outcome can be if they continue on their path. Of course the leaders and the upper to mid levels of the “movement” know the mayhem that could result. However, they are of the belief that “someone else” will pay the piper. Just like “someone else” will pay the taxes that fund all the free education, free medical care, free housing, free food etc. Its the same “someone else” that every socialist, communist, democratic socialist believes would pay for all their plans for a “just” society.
    Does george soros believe that HE will be held responsible for the riots he finances? Does barack obama believe that HE will be held responsible for the havoc his minions organize? Of course not but “someone else” will – – – – – – – – and with today’s one sided press, the culprit identified will probably by you and I.

  4. LL- Can’t disagree! Dammit…

    Bob- You’re right, DC IS about power…

    Roger- Sadly true, but you know what? At least WE will have stood up for what we believe and for the America we believe in!

  5. SMH-the lefties way of thinking is just bizarre. When they win they are giggles an have no issue throwing barbs our way, yet whey the shoe is on the other foot you would think the end of the world was upon us. They can riot and act stupid, yet……not so sure we have enough to respond effectively anymore.

  6. The level of sheer inanity, and insanity, on display these days is scary. If I were single, it might not bother me so much, but with family to consider, the level of pending mayhem is scary, too. I just hope it doesn’t come to that.

  7. It sounds like Alexa was too helpful and Amazon is afraid of its liability.

    • I recall being warned about Furbies in the service, and ho we were NOT NOT NOT to have them in offices and work places.

  8. Randy- Agreed!

    Rev- Me too! 🙁

    RHT- Yeah, sigh

    JMI- That may very well be!

    Sam- Yep, lots of ‘organizations’ are banning them for any number of reasons, including corporate security!

  9. Shipmate, standing by for a call-for-fire. Sorry, I seem to have forgotten the correct RT call for a Winchester report. We now live in a Poop-Sandwich world and I see all that is going on and I try to not let it bother me but it does to an extent. I have just reserved myself to waiting for it to SHTF and protecting my family and group while raining in H^&% on the opposition. Sorry, just tired of it all, let’s just get it on. I hope you don’t think I’m crazy, which I am not but like I said, just tired of it. This country has been messed up so bad over the years, maybe this is what this country needs. Just my 2 cents.

  10. They’re begging to start CW2, without the slightest clue about how much worse it would be compared to the first.

    Look no further than the stupidity that is talk of coastal walls. They really think fencing off the productive food growing parts of the country will somehow end well for them.

  11. They hate DJT, which signifies that he’s not bought and paid for, I like that. The left? They’ll keep pushing…
