Wouldn't it be wild to learn some millennia down the road that some advanced machine culture of long ago had reverse-engineered itself into biological 'machines' (from which we humans have evolved or to which we’re related) in order to survive in the cosmos by reducing its monstrous energy demand on the environment.

David Frum is alternately insightful and obdurately partisan, but he gets right this brief deconstruction of sex-offender Trump's SOTU address.

Why agentic AI creeps out women: because it's written by bros for bros who want Stepford Wives, and conveys that vibe: commercial AIs are fine-tuned to perform as cheerfully submissive handmaids, not

The 'typing' of the AI options kinda nails it:
'ChatGPT’s defining feature isn’t efficiency. It’s sycophancy. She agrees with whatever you say. Validates your position even when you’re wrong. Tells you what you want to hear. Never really pushes back. Makes you feel smart regardless of reality.
This isn’t a bug. It’s retention strategy.'

Why is health care (amongst so much else) going down the toilet in Ontario?
Because our premier is an ignorant floater already swirling in the bowl and he wants everyone down there with him.
'Now that OSAP was cut, Nusir said he may not be able to afford to go to medical school, which he hopes to get into in his fourth year of university. '

Same.
And once had a 70's era Honda 750 for which 'cruise control' was a thumb-operated handlebar throttle clamp.
