“Aircraft Carriers for Ukraine!” Bad for America, Even Worse for Ukraine

ChatGPT Makes Me Believe In AI — and Fear for Humanity’s Future

We’ve been hearing about AI — Artificial Intelligence — for decades, and I, for one, never believed it was a true possibility. I was wrong. AI is real, and it’s here now. I doubt AI will ever think as we do, but that’s what makes it “artificial”, right? ChatGPT —…

What’s Scarier Than the COVID Outbreak in China? Cameras.

It appears undeniable that China’s anti-COVID measures have saved millions of lives.

Ukraine’s “Dildo of Consequences” Naval Drone Might Become Reality
