Its unfortunate that you post a sound bite from a long interview and its taken out of the complete context of the interview and discussion. Typical GOP tactic to twist info for a hidden agenda. Post the whole interview if you wont to be taken seriously,

So, that went well in the house

It’s unfortunate that you are so dishonest.  It was part of a big steaming pile of word salad.  How you can support bills being passed without it being a legal requirement for them to actually be read by the congress members is disgusting.  Shame on you.

One of the provisions was a vast increase in pay for Congress as well as enhanced health benefits. X users cracked

It seems you believes what the X owner tweeted (or Xed or whatever).

Maybe check your facts before you believe that guy - or anybody else.

 

As far as I am concerned AI makes people only stupider. They "think" they can rely on AI - they can't.

There was also a time when people thought if it was printed it was true - a long time ago.

It's somehow funny that people think Musk and Trump will work in the interest of ordinary people.

What gives you that idea?

You go watch and listen to the whole interview , Not the You Tube edited version, and what was posted earlier was completely out of the context of the whole conversation that happened. 1 sentence extracted does not make it a fact. Twisting information is what makes many have no credibility in any way as they shortcut thinking for sound bites to appear like they are intelligent. 

 

I like how you want to blame me for the rules of congress not requiring bills to be read in their entirety. No where did I say that the bills shouldnt be read completely or that the bills were even good ones. But dont post crap and act like you know what your talking about. I guessing you dont even know that the bills are not even written by the actually elected officials in either house but their assistants, legal aides and office aides.

And I note the Democrats new attack line, describing Musk as "President Musk." They are enraged that he has brought upon them the one thing they could not afford to lose - the end of their grip on the news narrative. 

 

$44 billion for Twitter was cheap. And Grok AI alone ( part of Twitter ) has already changed the political narrative. 

$400 million for the Presidency was even cheaper.

Excuse the duplicate posts, some issues with that.

Can add, from a GOP staffer, “It’s silly to pretend this is just a skinny CR,” one GOP staffer told said. “It’s a three-month spending bill with ornaments hanging all over it.”

Do you subscribe to Politico? The difference here is that the more controversial aspects of the bill were exposed to a worldwide audience in minutes. 

Is it not strange when AI does this it is being applauded, when Assange did it the establishment screamed bloody murder?

Assange directly undermined national security. I didn't have a strong opinion on his fate as I could see why people supported him. 

 

Equally government officials should be free to have internal discussions without fear of exposure. A prime example was the Enigma decoder. 

 

Would Assange have told the Germans that the Allies had cracked the code?

I have seen enough criminal activity in so-called respected companies I have worked for, to know people take shortcuts and break the law, either for money or advancement.

 

I don't know what it is like in other countries. Being a whistleblower in Australia is certain to bring down the wrath of the establishment, quite apart from being a career killer.

 

Assange is a villain because he makes government machinations visible. Zuckerberg is a business hero that sells the personal information Facebook harvests to the highest bidder, including hackers and foreign countries. Go figure.

I am not often a  conspiracy theorist, but how do we know that AI algorithms are not , and cannot be, influenced by the designers / controllers / owners.    

 

( I guess I will be excoricated most severely by the intelligentsia who make comment here )

Pelosi was explaining that the public would not fully comprehend the bill’s provisions until it was enacted and implemented.     

 

The legislative process was transparent, with the bill being available for public review before the vote.

ChatGPT has maybe come a long way since MAY 2023 but then there was this:

A lawyer used ChatGPT to prepare a court filing. It went horribly awry.

 

Updated on: May 29, 2023 / 5:40 PM EDT /

A lawyer who relied on ChatGPT to prepare a court filing on behalf of a man suing an airline is now all too familiar with the artificial intelligence tool's shortcomings — including its propensity to invent facts. 

 

Roberto Mata sued Colombian airline Avianca last year, alleging that a metal food and beverage cart injured his knee on a flight to Kennedy International Airport in New York. When Avianca asked a Manhattan judge to dismiss the lawsuit based on the statute of limitations, Mata's lawyer, Steven A. Schwartz, submitted a brief based on research done by ChatGPT, Schwartz, of the law firm Levidow, Levidow & Oberman, said in an affidavit. 

 

The fabrications were revealed when Avianca's lawyers approached the case's judge, Kevin Castel of the Southern District of New York, saying they couldn't locate the cases cited in Mata's lawyers' brief in legal databases.

I like the possibilities. I also did not see any link to where and how the use of AI in this instance was verified.
My friends know I have consistently been opposed to AI. This would be an exception where I think it might pay excellent rewards. Might, ... absolutely there are risks.
