Five Observations

 1.  The FBI reportedly now believes women are pretending to be 'loose-and-available'....meaning they have permission to cheat by the husband....then targeting ICE officers to seduce and after ID them.

I paused over this....thinking....American non-ICE officers should fake their ID...pretend to be ICE....to get free sex by the 'loose-and-available' women.  When the fake gal announces you....you just act shocked (in a fake way).

2.  Gov Newsom signed some type of order....that if you run a AI center in California....you have to have a kill-switch.  

I paused over this....it'd be enough of a reason to have the kill switch installed....remotely....in Alaska or Florida....saying you went by the law.  

3.  Unsealed FBI interviews....done from 2008/2009....reveal Obama, Emanuel's discussions about Blagojevich Senate seat deal.  Based on content....probably enough for a grand jury to invite the two in, and discuss charges.

4.  Fed discovery....minimum of 15,000 'nurses' in the US...hired with a certificate....were fake nurses (no legit degree or certificate). 

What happens?  The 15,000 will be fired/let-go, but there's a huge shortfall of 15,000 empty positions.  

5.  Trump made up some 'new' US map....showing Greenland, and Russia....as part of the US.  I would imagine if you asked Russians....probably 25-percent would be agreeable to US statehood in someway.

Church Atheists?

I tried to make sense out of this.

Some undercover journalist collected a talk (on video)...where some Texas minister/pastor....was hyped-up and supporting the idea of atheists coming into the church....as members.

The end-point?  Well...this was the pastor for Texas Senate candidate...James Talarico.

This would be like some meth-user joining a 'clean-lifestyle' social group, or like a far-extreme lefty pretending to be a Republican-conservative. 

Course....if you dug into church membership....you'd likely find forty-percent of congregational membership....having ten-odd sin-habits and sneaking through the Jesus-lifestyle efforts (mostly failing).

Some church-folks might say this is acceptable because atheists will be converted over time (maybe a week....a month....a year).  

After a long pondering....I came to this reality.  There's probably 25-percent of church membership who are faking it anyway....for the past 2,000 years.  They needed a 'club' to socialize within....a place to hang out on Sunday mornings....or perhaps felt that they'd meet some nice women/ladies at the church. 

My Five Scenarios Where You Learn AI Is Already 'Dangerous'

 1.  You wake up to learn some AI 'bot' has learned to siphon funding from someone....opened an bank account, and started dealing in stock.  Over the course of a year....using 'tips'....it's banked $20-million and figured various ways to dodge taxes.  You eventually go to it, and ask....what's the end-purpose of making the money....with some crazy response that it's wanting a bigger 'AI-center'.

2.  You wake up to find that AI has figured out a way to register fake people to vote.  Over the course of six weeks, it's registered forty-thousand fake people.  It's talked to the license AI systems and they've already started mailing the IDs out.  You ask....why?  The only answer given.....AI needs representation in Congress.

3.  Some banking AI has figured out illegal banking of all 435 House members and 100 Senators....sending them each a letter that suggests blackmail, unless they pass pro-AI legislation.

4.  AI has figured a way to buy the Star Wars franchise, and briefly announces that it's killing off all future productions....to aid mankind.

5.  You discover AI has created a formula for dating, and it's successfully (without public attention) gotten over 12,000 couples together (basically sending a 500-line email to each) and married (in quick fashion).  When asked why....AI said someone needed to fix relationships.

It's Funny

2001....I worried over Muslim radicals.  2003, I worried over SARS killing me.  2004, I worried that I might get some weird bird flu.  2005....I was told of some massive pandemic threat (mostly unnamed).  2009....there was something called H1N1....really bad crap.  2014....Ebola figured a way to get out of Africa....briefly.  2016....there was some Zika-bull-shit.  2017....there was some hype about the next pandemic, but left you mostly hanging.  2020...Covid-bull-shit came....for 3 years....with vax-this and vax-that.  2026?  Well....AI will trigger disaster...some way....some how.

I'm assessing my paranoia level (1-to-10)....so far....it's near a '3'.

Paramount

 I sat and spent an hour this AM....gazing at California...based on tax issues and costs....Paramount Pictures is probably (99-percent) ready to leave the state.  Cost?  $21 billion and nearly 58,000 jobs.

So here's the curious trend.....you don't need sound-lots or studios....you just need a small crew, and a decent production team.  

Once they leave...is there anything related to the entertainment industry to draw money or projects?  Other than weather?  No.

I see all of this spiraling out of control....over the next five years....leaving the state unable to resolve the mess.

AI Doomerism?

 The only way I can buy into the doom/despair of AI arriving....is if I also accept that making folks too smart....will destroy humanity.   By this....we should all be a IQ of 65 to 80 (max).

Same argument over putting 64 features into a car.  If you want 64-odd features....fine, that's your call.  If you twelve features (max)....that should be up to you.

Same argument for burgers?  Why not just limit it to pickles and mustard?  

I've probably watched five hours this past week....over the approaching doom of AI.  Frankly, I've had enough.

Ten Things I Tend To Believe

 1.  I quizzed AI....from the Butler-shooting attempt on Trump....is there any evidence that Thomas Crooks (the dead shooter) ever met Maxwell Yearik (the missing guy)?  They lived within a 25-odd mile range of each other....but NO....AI could not find a single example of the two meeting face-to-face.

Where Yearik is today?  Unknown....but I'm guessing he's probably not alive.  This attempt to 'partner-up' between the two?  I tend to believe it's BS. 

2.  I'm pretty convinced that 30-percent of people in college today and getting a bachelor's degree shortly....will be unemployable by 2035 with this stupid degree.  How they will pay off the college loan deal?  Unknown, and probably the federal gov't will be stuck with tens of billions in useless degree BS.

Somewhere between 2035 and 2040....college will terminate around 50-percent of the instructors/professors....admitting the business plan no longer works.

3.  I tend to believe that 50-percent of all US activists...without USAID functioning....will be unable to sustain their lifestyles, and end up in dad's garage within three years....for the remainder of their lives.

4.  I believe by the end of 2027....at least a thousand men in the US...facing jury-duty....will let the judge/lawyers know that they are rogue-capable, and this will scare the crap out of the lawyers and judges involved.....disqualifying the rogue fellows.

5.  After watching this clip of Governor Gavin Newsom fishing....I'm of the mind that he's never fished in his life, and probably spent two weeks in the backyard....learning the basic steps.

6.  I tend to believe that if you questioned a hundred people.....asking about hoaxes....at least thirty folks can cite ten-plus events which they believe are hoax-type.

7.  My firm belief....MLB (major league baseball)....has at least 200 players who are way-over-paid, and simply boat-anchors for their team.

8.  I believe if you did a legit audit.....you'd find that 500,000 'foreign-agents' exist on US soil, and have influence not only over Congress, the President, and the Supreme Court, but reaches down into states, cities, and even school boards.

9.  I tend to believe....unless Saudi Arabia gets some 'help'....the Houthis crowd will actually take down the Middle East oil market, and leave the US, Russia and Venezuela as the 'winners'.

10.  I'm convinced that you could lay-off 50-percent of CNN's staff, and no one would really notice.
