Today I ran an answer from one AI through another AI. “Here is the simplified and corrected explanation “.

Maybe we can cause an AI war and have them destroy each other before they learn about MAD.

You’d think someone 2nd in line to the presidency would have a better handle on current events.
RAJU: If defenseless survivors were killed, would that constitute a violation of the laws of war?

Trump approval in new Gallup poll sets new low of 36%. and among GOP it is new low of 84% which signals loss of enthusiasm for next years elections. Trump approval among independents is a new low at dismal rating of 29%.
