Here’s the real actual definition of “artificial intelligence,” the true technical meaning in research and engineering circles when it’s not being used as marketing hype.
Artificial intelligence is anything that
1. humans are generally good at, and
2. computers were recently bad at.
That’s it. That’s all it means. You’ll hear people refine it and dress it up, but that’s the heart of the definition. (Check Wikipedia!)

"The Christian right has its own version of events: Innocent Christian worshippers were mobbed at a city park by anti-Christians and the city endorsed their persecution. But this was not the story they were telling on social media before the protest. In their words, the rally was intended to be a battle in a spiritual war. Against the child “butchers,” the demonic forces, the unholy."

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced sweeping leadership changes Thursday
as part of an effort to dramatically ramp up arrests of illegal migrants.
The “leadership realignment” comes as Trump administration officials push for ICE to make
a “minimum” of 3,000 arrests per day
– up from the 1,800 per day quota the White House initially demanded in January.
As part of the shake-up, Kenneth Genalo is out as the head of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Ope…
