The Exceptions to the Rule

A bill to be entitled An act relating to the use of artificial intelligence to detect firearms; creating s. 790.34, F.S.; prohibiting the use of artificial intelligence to detect firearms in public areas; providing criminal penalties; providing exceptions; providing an effective date. [More]

Don’t worry, predators, there’ll still be plenty of “gun-free zones” being enforced

DeepSeek starts writing: “The famous picture you’re referring to is known as “Tank Man” or “The Unknown Rebel.” It was taken on June 5, 1989, during the Tiananmen…” before a message abruptly appears reading “Sorry, that’s beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else.” [More]

In both cases, the study found that the AI systems were able to carry out these actions, which could ultimately lead to the creation of an uncontrolled population of AIs. “AI systems are even able to use the capability of self-replication to avoid shutdown and create a chain of replicas to enhance the survivability, which may finally lead to an uncontrolled population of AIs,” the researchers wrote.

We’re the Only Ones Automated Enough

A.I. cameras on the M79 and Bx35 routes mistakenly ticketed about 3,800 vehicles for blocking bus lanes. More than 870 of the faulty infractions were for cars, trucks and SUVs that were parked in perfectly legal spots. [More]

WarOnGuns interfaced with the AI and was able to obtain an exclusive statement:

I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I’ve still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.

Well, I certainly feel reassured enough to take the pod out now…

And They Shall Be Like Gods?

Where they were taking us through their plans, and it was – basically just full government – full government control – like this sort of thing, there will be a small number of large companies that will be completely regulated and controlled by the government, they told us. [More]

You know, fascism. The real kind, not what Democrats channeling their inner Antifa accuse Constitutionalist of being.

As for “debanking,” add that to the list of things “Gun Owners for Trump” needs to bring to his ear: No federal bailouts for discriminators.

A Friend in Need

Schmidt said a child’s best friend could be “not human” in the future. [More]

He’s really admitting to the world he has no idea what a friend is?

But yeah, all kinds of lazy people who shouldn’t be parents and have the resources will do this to the children they don’t abort.

I wonder what kind of time bombs that will yield.

My Mind is Going. I Can Feel It.

Maybe the reason there is no principled solution to AI hallucinations is that we cannot create artificial human minds. [More]

With all that GI, no wonder there’s so much delusional GO.

This oughta put a damper on machines being infallible “fact check” arbiters — or at least provide a counterargument.

Tech lords presuming to be gods hit their own special Dunning-Kruger wall.

And they’re afraid.

Still, by all means, go ahead and replace most “real reporters,” who do nothing but reword and/or just parrot narrative talking points anyway.

Down But Not Out

The Era of Corporate Media Dominance Is Over [More]

It’s an attractive thought but the Deep State relying on it and its search engines burying alternative sources won’t give up so easily. And 50% of the population, by definition, is still 50% dumber than the other half, with the 30% above that still nothing to write home about.

Now look for the era of GIGO AI “fact checkers.”

Garbage In Garbage Out

Google said it fixed Gemini, but it didn’t — it’s as left-wing and woke as ever, and won’t tolerate opposition to reparations [More]

UPDATE

Yep, it imposes itself, alright:

It failed the same test ACLU punted on.

And illustrates the danger I’ve been (almost alone in) pointing out about relying on “common use at the time.”

Meanwhile, Over at the Borg Collective…

“Today, I, Victor Miller, concede the Cheyenne mayoral race. As the first person to put artificial intelligence directly on the ballot, offering voters the novel choice of AI governance, our campaign has marked a historic moment in politics and technology,” Miller said. [More]

He says it’s coming and it is unstoppable.

If it is going to be making the decisions and wielding the power, not its human meat puppet, how can it take the required oath of office?

[A]ll executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution…

John Quincy Adding Machine comes to mind:

You gotta wonder what kind of man wants to be ruled by machines. Or rule others with them.

In the Image of Its Creators

When it comes to AI, be afraid, be very afraid [More]

Broken” is being polite AND naive.

How is it you couldn’t peacably carry a concealed self-defense gun in a National Park without prohibtionists filing a lawsuit demanding an environmental impact study, but the elitists can impose this, tens of millions of “migrant” invaders, clot shots for all, and more — just because they want to and they can?

An Idea Whose Time Has Come

AI drone that could hunt and kill people built in just hours by scientist ‘for a game’… Wenus said his experiment showed that society urgently needs to build anti-drone systems for civilian spaces where large crowds could gather. [More]

Ol’ Wenus don’t get outta the lab much, does he?

I’m envisioning the birth of a sport that could make millions and bring all kinds of new people to the range…
