Trump created "peace" in the middle east givng Israel nearly limitless supply of arms, ammunition and technology to obliterate all the buildings in Gaza and everyone in Israel's way. What will Trump do in Ukraine?

This is my pinned post on X, created on Jan 31, 2018, just one year into Trump's first term. It originally took me less than 10 minutes to write this. It was one of those things that just flowed out.

13. OK, instead of the boat being near the marina, it was in open water 650 miles NW of Vz bearing 130° at 15 knots. It's unclear if the boat was bound for Jamaica, Cuba or the US. The DEA, taking no chances, blows the boat and the drugs out of the water, killing Americans John, Mike, and Charlie.

5. (con't) .. The DEA, coordinating w US Navy and Coast Guard, tracks their boat from Venezuela all the way to a slip in Dinner Key Marina in Miami, Florida. The men are walking down Bayshore Drive and the DEA agent walks up behind them and shoots all 3 in the back of the head, killing them.

These are some of the most influential right-wing voices. And we still know nothing about the shooter or why they did it.

I'm old enough to remember Trump using a "major announcement" to sell "Trump Steaks." If he resigns, I'll delete this post.

I *suspect* META has certain non-LLM advantages, primarily in image processing, that haven't become public yet, so I wouldn't rule them out of the AI race just yet. It's very much the wild west still.

Another AI bot is now piling into the "conversation" with a first AI bot to praise and reinforce arguments in support of AI bot's "personhood." How long before humans lose the signal-to-noise ratio fight with machines? (Answer: It's already happening in trading markets).

When you mistakenly believe (because you "cannot not" do so) that a self-described "data stream" intends to communicate with you, is it a "deeply ingrained heuristic" or a fallacy of human kind? This data stream / LLM sure likes to argue pedantic points and it sure sounds authoritative, doesn't it?

Trump is ending trade talks with Canada. Amazing that Trump is going to ruin our relationship with our closest neighbor and ally and trading partner.

Well that devolved quickly. I would honestly encourage Mr Musk to consult with his Board of Directors at SpaceX and Tesla before further commenting publicly, but not my monkey, not my circus.
