Fraudsters and Liars

I’ve spoken about the AI lie quite often. Few “not ready for prime time” technologies have been hyped so much by the billionaires’ media. Bing, Google, and Chat GPT prove it. None of the three can tell me who Illinois’ youngest senatorial candidate is, despite the fact that Durbin announced his retirement months ago. A normally intelligent human, even a ten year old, if she were willing to put in the effort could look up a list of current Illinois senatorial candidates, then look them all up on Wikipedia. If a fifth grade teacher gave the assignment to perform that extremely simple task, nearly all of the students would get it right. NONE of the three AI programs I have access to can. Try it yourself! Google and Bing give lists of web pages with Illinois historical senators, not current candidates. Chat GPT returns Illinois history’s youngest senator. My old 16k computer with a 4mz chip running my Artificial Insanity did nearly as well at parsing a sentence, and they have clusters of supercomputers with giant databases and access to the internet that didn’t exist when I wrote Art (which was designed to let people know computers can’t really think, way back then). As the state of AI stands currently, with their electricity-sucking supercomputer clusters with “neural nets”, they can’t answer a simple question that a ten year old could answer in less than half an hour with the internet. Those promoting these technologies are bald faced liars, plain and simple. As I’ve said, AI is magic. Not Harry Potter magic, but David Copperfield magic. The difference is that Copperfield doesn’t lie that it’s Harry Potter magic. Then, of course, there is President Pinocchio and his rubber stamp Republican congress. “Nobody cares about Epstien!” No, but everyone and their AI wants to know what other billionaire bastards are kiddie rapists. The president, maybe? He was, you know, very close friends with Epstien. Birds of a feather, anyone? Who do these lying sacks of shit think they’re fooling? And how could anyone with an IQ over 65 ever believe anything that comes out of any Republican’s mouths? At least the Democrats aren’t so obvious with their lies. I must be the only one of the four hundred million idiotic Americans who is offended not only with being lied to, but especially with transparent lies you know are lies, and the liar knows you know he’s lying and he doesn’t give a shit! This is today’s Republican party. It ain’t your grandpa’s Republican party! Then there’s “social” media that has mostly replaced the newspapers and TV news for American (world?) youth. Apparently one needs to be an assburger to have a working bullshit detector, or maybe it comes with old age. Anyone can post any kind lies they want on social media, and the biggest lie is that it gives the same voice to you as it does Jeffery Goldberg, Editor in Chief of The Atlantic. Even he doesn’t have free reign, fools! He reports what his corporate overlords let him report, and if Zuckerberg and Musk don’t want people seeing your opinions or facts, nobody but your closest friends will see it. IT’s THEIR WEBSITE! People talk about “My Facebook page.” WRONG! It’s Zuckerberg’s Facebook page. Why is there so much Nazi shit on X? Because Musk is a Nazi! The only real independance is community-supported sites like S/N (and /. before it was hijacked by the evil billionaires) and little sites that can’t be found on Google or Bing without huge amounts of luck. Especially since Google has decided that a site without HTTPS shouldn’t be shown even if it has nothing to do with commerce, Google is no longer a real search engine, it’s a fake, it’s now for commercial sites only. You can easily find mcgrewbooks.com but try finding mcgrew.info or nooze.org. In fact, even with Firefox’s search set to Google, if AT&T is your ISP you’re likely to get an AT&T search page saying those sites don’t exist! But the biggest lie of all is that America is a democracy. It isn’t. It stopped being a democracy and became a plutocracy when the Supreme Court said corporations are people in 2010 with its Citizens United ruling. We could still get our democracy back were it not for the billionaire’s media’s obfuscation and lies. Today’s politics disgust me.
