    So an AI is actually running the most powerful country on earth.

    To paraphrase the inestimable Captain Hector Barbossa: Ye’d best start believing in cyberpunk dystopias, yer in one.

    He has access to nearly infinite information and Intel, yet he consults an LLM. The stupidest fucking president in American history by a mile.

      An LLM is an automated sycophant. Of course Trump loves it. Am advisor might tell him he has a bad idea.

        LLM can be sycophantic at times, but it will usually not hesitate to tell you you are wrong.

        I think the more attractive LLM property is that you can ask questions, without thereby admitting to a human that there is something he doesn’t know. That is surely very attractive to narcissists like Trump.

    It seems that all of this AI is turning into nothing more than a Magic 8-Ball. The only real difference is that a Magic 8-Ball doesn’t cost billions and trillions. After consulting my Ouija Board it suggested that we bring back the Magic 8-Ball for all of our important government decisions. /s

    So Obama couldn’t even have the weather app on his phone but now presidents can talk to chatbot for hours? Opsec is keeping its level tied to the administration, huh?

    That trump prompt that they found that the article reprinted is WILD! Can you imagine if Obama had said the same?

    “Computer man I’m very much an idiot so much and dumb with a bad brain but NOBODY knows so what would not idiot do so that he doesn’t shit his pants and the shit rolls down his pants and gets on his lifts in shoes and also show picture of boobs from a girl?”

      While AI-bros warn everyone how dangerous their newest version of slop-machine is this is the part I’m genuinely worried about. LLM hallucinations about nuclear threat could genuinely push someone in the current US admin to believe that pre-emptive strike to China is actually a good idea.

      AI overlors in the 1980s knew better. A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

    At this point it’s pretty apparent that not only do we not need a president, we can still function with one that is actively working to destroy the country.

      *Can still function FOR A WHILE

      The zombie of the federal government will still keep shambling forward until it doesn’t. Look at the Soviet Union.

      When (not if) that happens because if this admin’s years of smash-and-grab active sabotage nothing is gonna magically improve for you and me.

      I’m not exactly enthusiastic about the coming Tech Feudalism these guys are trying to build before our very eyes.

        This is SOP for our gerontocracy. Both Reagan and Biden were non compos mentis for parts of their terms.

        And, heck, Nancy was clearing Ronnie’s schedule through an astrologer, so Grok isn’t even the wackiest WH advisor we’ve had.

      But yet won’t listen to actual experts in different fields. Thinks he’s an all around genius. I’ll bet he only listens and consults Grok because Grok tells him how great he is.

    Elon Musk emulates a dude with a chainsaw & also Hitler, but that doesn’t mean you should listen to his “text based adventure game” for advice
