The AI industry needs to stop with automous agents. There must be controls and an off switch/duration timer that cannot be hacked by the agent itself. Think what might happen to autonomous battle gear, like a tank or drone, or some airplane dropping bombs. www.bbc.com/news/article...

OpenAI says its rogue AI tried to hack other companies

I read where Trump is now trying to his Robert provided Presidential immunity to also include the money he owes in the Jean Carrol case. Go ahead Roberts, let see how bad you are? Not too much will help your position in history as the worst Justice of all.

Think bombs are bad and they are, but if we value the Internet and our computer systems, the AI companies need to eliminate automous AI tools. www.bbc.com/news/article... The real life example would be locking up a person who then get out of the cell, takes over the prison, lets everyone free.

What is the status of taxing health care in I think Missouri? God help us if that law is passed. Every poor state, see the South will pass the same law. Tax peons let the rich get more money.

Follow up to my other post. Now Trump has another Senator to really hold in check, the new senator from SC. SO now I guess Trump as President now get to nominate just about everyone for every office. Think about that. It is just a wild thought. Allmightly Trump, higher order than King

the media is trying to read tea leaves about Republican Senators voting for Blanche. Better they should read history. They ALL will vote to give Blanche the appointment. How does a Senator that cannot run again not have the strength to vote against Trump. Mind boggling.

I'm sadden that Lindsey Graham has died. Too young. BUT I'm not sad that he is out of the Senate and my hope for SC we can do much much better than him. I don't think he did anything for South Carolina or worse he was a Trumper true believer - no good for the country either.

While waiting the the SC to make America less democratic today, I'm thinking about how good my baguettes I'm making will taste when finished. Friday is my bread making day. To top it off with home made donuts will be desert. The cake like Dunkin style not the South's overly sweet Krispy Creames

About polls. I do not believe them in any way , at all, none. Folks continue not to answer polling calls, etc. So what real cross section can they achieve. Talarico and Paxton tied. Don't believe it! Platner with small advange over Collins. I don't believe it. Hope it is true, but.....

We have 2+ years of Trump. IF the Dems gain at least the house majority there will be no real bills to pass. The Dems will keep Trump's admin busy answering questions to the house committees. What is left for Trump to do? 1) make his family richer 2) build some more monuments to him in DC.

There are at least two major questions for me after yesterdays SC rulings First is the SC desire to make Trump a king with all emcompassing power in the government. Trump will use this power to make him rick and dent democracy. My question is: What will the next president do with this power?

I'll try to hold on while the SC destroys America. Not even following the laws just breaking them.

There is no questions that the 6 SC members who back Trump on everything that is bad . somehow we need to get to lessen their bonkers rulings.

So the SC thinks that there is no right on a private house to ban guns. Of course they don't want that for themselves. Maybe these SC members need to live in a real world
