Auch wir vom Team Troet.Cafe sprechen unsere ungebrochene Solidarität mit @… aus, dessen Leitung momentan von der U.S. Regierung mit Sanktionen angegriffen wird.
Der Präsident des Internationalen Strafgerichtshof erhielt auch eine Sanktion dieser Art, für ihn hieß das: Einreiseverbot, Schließung seiner Bankkonten, Schließu…

I'm a proud financial supporter of Ukraine's war efforts through the #NAFO initiative. The badge I received is just perfect. I hope Jake Broe keeps on hitting the Bingo. Stay strong, defend democracy, protect Europe, slava ukraini!

𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: Boebert gives up. Reports lowest fundraising haul EVER.
Lauren Boebert just reported her Q3 fundraising numbers and what she raised is 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨.
From July 1 to September 30th she only raised $𝟭𝟭𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘀.
These are abysmal numbers.
The scandals have added up.
She is now so radioactive that even her most depraved MAGA large dollar donors are jumping ship.
⭐️𝗧𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲,
a labor leader and relentless fighter for working people,

I think the root of the “AI” evil is when AI researchers in the 1960s recognized that they outrageously underestimated the complexity of the human mind.
They became humiliated by their promises that AGI was just a few years away—and then went full goblin mode that’s lasting to this day.
Some of the OG researchers took it quite badly that they stalled and weren’t in the limelight anymore.
‣ Marvin Minsky (co-founder of MIT AI lab and arguably the most important early AI bro) went on to visit Epstein’s island multiple times.
‣ Karl Steinbuch, who came up with the German term for computer science ("Informatik")—who also was a literal Nazi (and likely war criminal) in World War II—later wrote articles in ultra-right magazines about things like “equal rights rob women of their children”.
‣ John McCarthy (inventor of Lisp, co-authored document that coined the term “Artificial Intelligence”) was a staunch Republican who years later claimed (in a serious article) that “thermostats have beliefs”.
[one moment, I am receiving more information]
‣ There’s a second Epstein Island AI pioneer? Who also was Chief Learning Officer at… Trump University? That would be Roger Schank (founded one of the first AI companies in the 1980s AI boom, it even had an IPO. Of course the 1980s AI bubble burst).
Obviously all of the above received all the awards in computer science and are very revered people.

I knew I was cranky about AI, but I guess I didn't realize just how cranky until I filled out this obnoxious and wildly boosterish questionnaire from the government of Canada.
