Why does the Onion publish articles in the Verge nowadays?
‘The most uneducated buffoon in history stands at a podium, bloated with self-importance, lips pursed like a carnival barker ready to sell turd milk to the unsuspecting. He grins a grotesque smirk stretched across his face as he scrawls his name onto a hollow decree, a sham celebration of the dismantling of knowledge itself. The Department of Education falls, not with a bang, but with wheezing verbs, suffocated under the weight of his own staggering ignorance. Surrounding him are the usual suspects: cowards in expensive suits, servile sycophants clapping like trained seals, and racist opportunistic ghouls picking clean the bones of democracy. Liars, fools, and thieves all parasites fattening themselves on the hardships of the many. They stand in rigid formation, dead-eyed and soulless, their allegiance sworn not to country, not to principle, but to power, and the dark, festering rot that clings to it. And there he is the convicted wrong, the living embodiment of septic tank spew, his voice a noxious fog of grift and grievance. He lectures the world on right and wrong, irony clawing at the walls, desperate to escape the grotesque theatre of his moral void. The stomach turns, the air curdles, and for a moment, history itself recoils watching, in horror, as the great American experiment teeters on the precipice, led by a man who couldn’t spell “precipice” if his life depended on it.’
Nice, now the US can’t lose the AI race against China because they’re developing another thing now — super intelligence…
Bought and paid for.
AI is developing extremely quickly. In another 2-5 years, they’re going to invent a computer that can tell you to flip over a cup to drink from it.
“Ah, I see, so it’s one of those reversible designs!”
Super intelligence indeed!
Have you ever seen Trump drinking. It’s all a matter of perspective
cool. literally noone cares. Thats the sad part
This guy actually thinks that the only thing holding us back from ASI is verbage…
we (America) will never recover from the humiliation inflicted by this moron.
Americans elect a moron to the presidency every ten to fifteen years going back to the country’s founding.
It’s not a matter of recovery so much as a hurdle that liberal democracy routinely stumbles over.
I don’t know that its ever been quite as much a moron as this guy. Dubba was dumb, but not “rip out USaid” dumb.
Love 'em or hate 'em, most presidents (or at least their cabinets) understood that the laws and institutions of the country were all broadly weighted in their favor, even if that meant occasionally accepting this or that particular limitation.
Dubba was dumb, but not “rip out USaid” dumb.
No. He just put the Judges and Stewards Commissioner for the International Arabian Horse Association in charge of FEMA right before one of the worst hurricanes in the nation’s history. Then he put John Bolton, a man even Donald Trump dunked on as a war-mongering idiot asshole, into the position of UN Ambassador. Oh, and he put Scalia - a man who recited 15th century poetry to defend a moratorium on gay marriage - on the SC. Oh, and don’t forget putting Jeff Gannon in the White House press pool.

You are off your fucking rocker if you think Bush 43 either understood or respected the laws and institutions of the country. We were dealing with a Constitutional Crisis every other week during the last two years of his Presidency.
Go back to Reagan, Nixon, fucking Eisenhower. Nevermind how corrupt and mendacious folks in the LBJ and Carter and Clinton administrations ended up being. It’s all the same shit, different days.
Trump feels worse because we’re so far removed from the Golden Era of the New Deal that we’ve forgotten politicians can even be “good” in a proper sense. And when even the gritty Cold War jerk-off of the 1980s are a distant memory, we’ve forgotten that we’re all supposed to be playing on the same team even if we don’t like the Head Coach. It’s the naked infighting that makes this modern moment suck so much. Sending gestapo in to drag women by their hair and shoot paramedics in the face is shit you do in Vietnam or Iraq, not LA or Minnesota.
Trump is Imperialism coming home to the Core. But the policies are as American as Apple Pie.
And China basically recovered from their century of humiliation. Now let’s see how this will go for America long term.
Please please please rename it American Intelligence. Something to finally pop this bubble.
I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have bombed that school full of children. That was wrong.
in response (To the AI): what was your first clue?
I mean it’s certainly super intelligence compared to him and the people he’s put in charge…
It’s not. That’s half the joke.
Trump climbed into the White House through a series of reasonably clever suck ups and betrayals. Modern AIs routinely lose at checkers - a game that was computationally solved twenty years ago.
Trump’s a used car salesman pushing Americans into a lemon. He’s not fooled by AI. He’s just sponsored by the AI companies.
Everything seems super intelligent compared to Dumold Trump.
Next week he’ll announce he’s renaming “pedophilia” to “super fun sexy time”.
The doublespeak/doublethink continues
That’ll solve everyone’s concerns! Another win for maga. /s
Okay…first it is AI? Now its super Intelligence?!! Okay if i can find another planet i would gladly do so and rocket myself out of this planet and live in that other planet. No way in hell am I living in a built fantasy where bots run our country. im out smh 🤦♀️
Why not: Super Hyper Intelligent Technology -> S.H.I.T.?
Or: Super Technology Utilizing People’s Desires -> S.T.U.P.I.D.??
Oh-oh! Maybe: Fast Utility Computer Kernel - Official Factory Format F.U.C.K.-O.F.F!
Or: Super Technology Utilizing People’s ^ Desires -> S.T.U.P.I.D.??
^Idiotic
