President Embarrassment Embidens Himself Again
Remarks by President Biden on Artificial Intelligence
White House | JULY 21, 2023
THE PRESIDENT: I’m the AI. (Laughter.) If any of you think I’m Abe Lincoln, blame it on the AI.
Time to coin a new phrase:
Kamala can’t be here because she’s traveling to Florida, but she’s met with civil society leaders to hear their concerns about the impacts on society and ways to protect the rights of Americans.
At least here the White House transcript service can’t avoid the fact that he misspoke, but helpfully correct it for him:

Has any tech company lived up to the following?
First, the companies have an obligation to make sure their technology is safe before releasing it to the public. That means testing the capabilities of their systems, assessing their potential risk, and making the results of these assessments public.
Second, companies must prioritize the security of their systems by safeguarding their models against cyber threats and managing the risks to our national security and sharing the best practices and industry standards that are — that are necessary.
Third, the companies have a duty to earn the people’s trust and empower users to make informed decisions — labeling content that has been altered or AI-generated, rooting out bias and discrimination, strengthening privacy protections, and shielding children from harm.
And now, the Big Finish: the historical protologicalmation:
But we must be clear-eyed and vigilant about the threats emerging — of emerging technologies that can pose — don’t have to, but can pose — to our democracy and our values.
Like voting software?
By the way, we’re not a democracy.

Just the News | July 13, 2023 | Kenneth SchruppProgressive Democrats, including Assembly Majority Leader Isaac Bryan (D-Los Angeles) opposed the bill on grounds that it would increase incarceration, which they believe does little to deter crime.

Carlee Russell Named Next White House Press Secretary
“Because, you know, she’s a person of Color.”
It’s one Smollett step for man, one giant bleep for mankind.
It was all FAKE! Carlee Russell reveals she made up kidnapping and seeing a toddler on side of Alabama interstate after over a week of lies: Cops weigh up criminal charges for wasting police time
Daily Mail | 7/24/2023A 26-year-old nursing student in Alabama who claimed she was abducted after spotting a toddler along the interstate admitted on Monday she made up the entire story.
Carlee Russell claimed that she was kidnapped on July 13 after she stopped to check on a toddler at 9:30pm. She turned up at her parents’ house 49 hours later and told police she had been abducted, spinning an elaborate story of fighting for freedom.

‘There was no kidnapping on Thursday, July 13,’ he said.

Scientists Find Heat-Emitting Blob On The Far Side Of The Moon
Daily Caller | July 11, 2023 | Kay Smythe“It’s around 50km across, and the only solution that we can think of which produces that much heat is a large body of granite, a rock which forms when a magma body – the unerupted lava – below a volcano cools. Granite has high concentrations of radioactive elements like uranium and thorium compared to other rocks in the lunar crust, causing the heating we can sense at the lunar surface.”
