How to kill a rogue AI
Shutting off the internet? Detonating a nuke in space? None of the options are very appealing.

What's next in Venezuela? Panama raid that ousted Noriega offers clues.

Given the legality of the operation, feels more like knowing a bank is going to be robbed but not telling the police.

The New York Times has just confirmed that 40 civilians died in President Trump's invasion.

Remember when Republicans got suspiciously upset about Democrats reminding the troops of their responsibility to not follow illegal orders? Hmmm.

When every Democrat should be pushing back against a media that loves those heady early days of an American instigated war, I'm afraid too many are influenced enough by it to hedge in their criticisms.

The Trump Doctrine, such as it is, is he really, really enjoys breaking laws and getting away with it.
