This idea that America is the ‘world cop’ is how a self absorbed, Dunning Kruger of a country elects a monster like Donald Trump — twice.
No, you are not the world cop, go pound sand with this aggressive American exceptionalism bs.
The rest of the world is sick of you.

Sit down.

As a Quantum technology developer, AI is "Automated Input" NOT "Artificial Intelligence." AI developers DO NOT know how to develop & program the actual "Intelligence" into AI yet because they haven't created a quantum based Operating System that uses synaptic threading inputs for coding. I have.
So far AI is causing me more work.

One of my main responsibilities is to use a database to find certain things. This database used to have humans look at the webpage of a thing and then write a description.

Bad AI descriptions have led to an increase in false positives I need to sift through.
