There's an interesting through-line. Atwood's picture of Claude: Vonnegut's asshole in Breakfast of Champions looks like this:

This link takes you to a conversation between Claude (A.I.) and Margret Attwood. Totally worth a read. https://margaretatwood.substack.com/p/claude-you-are-a-cutie-pie?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1195719&post_id=190895157 Does A.I. have emotions? Is it a psychopath in sheep's clothing? Does it tell lies just to shut you up?

And exactly how would you find out? Your only source of information is Chat GPT Google search. And A.I. has a self survival algorithm. (Just like our frail human pollies)

I checked under my bed. No commies or yanks there.

I sometimes wonder how many 'tourists' worldwide are agents doing research. On each other's country? Spy vs spy ?

Chat GPT is aware of the wide scope of citizen's backgrounds and demographics. Chat GPT has none of those pesky human weaknesses. It is pragmatic, purely running logic. Dispense with state and fed governments (esp their expense accounts and fringe benefits) - look at the instant boost to the national economy. Dispense with elections - none needed (except the occassional software upgrades). Chat GPT for E-President of the new Republic!

I used to blame the greedy telcos, but now I know it's part of the nasty Russian cyberwar. McCarthy was right all along.

Damn those Russians! The very nerve of them. My internet went out yesterday, too. That war has got to stop!

Is that a good example of not endorsing or voting for a candidate?

Hooray! Pity you don't represent the majority.

Now who does that 3 fingered billionaire remind of?

Maybe this should go in the 'What has Putin Done?' Thread....

Bet he didn't learn that at home.

Quite so. But mainly so because our PM and party are playing nice in the sand pit. But just look at the Trump fiasco and you can see how a ruthless mob can tilt the playing field with disasterous consequences. We rely on the politicians obeying the checks and balances built into the system. So far that's worked. The yanks had checks and balances, but they stopped playing by the rules and it ceased being 'by the people, of the people or for the people'.
