So the Tories are being punished now for the decline from 2010 to 2014? Because since 2014 the gains on either side look comparable.

"[I]n 2020 and 2021, the Department of Defense conducted an extensive, international disinformation campaign initially intended to discredit Chinese vaccines in the Philippines, a nominal ally, and later among Muslim-majority countries in Central Asia." Unbelievable.

Technology has unleashed a wave of images that are too weird to be legitimate, but real enough to stir feelings. Are we seeing a new age of surrealism?

And yet, Iran may be inching its way towards democracy. And may cross paths with the US, going in the opposite direction.

This is awful. And more horrifying is thinking about those servicemen who are firing artillery today and are going to be enduring a living hell 10 or 15 years from now, because the military seems to be in no hurry to investigate this.

There is no one the Dems can parachute in who has better chances of winning than Biden. That is just the reality.

"Bouie: There is a tremendous amount of unfounded confidence that Democrats could find and nominate a more capable candidate than either Biden or Harris." Exactly. Although I would add that Harris' prospects are no better than Biden's, so making her the replacement seems kind of pointless.

Problem is, there is no obvious alternative. If Bernie were 65 he could step up; he has name recognition and stands for something. But he isn't, and nobody else fits the bill. Kamala is unacceptable as her prospects of winning are no better than those of her boss. A fine mess you are in, Democrats.

In how many countries is the Minister of Finance a religious fundamentalist? Ok, Iran and Afghanistan. Which are kind of looking like Israel's future.

But then you read this: "“The IBM model was still based on natural-language understanding,” Mr. Lefevre said, explaining that the model works like a tree. When the A.I. hears the customer’s order, it has a limited number of branches to follow that dictate its responses and actions."

Won't work. The phone die-hards (parents and kids) will dig in - and then the argument "but Johnny gets to keep his phone in class" will sink it for everybody else.

Religion is make-believe. So it's whatever you want it to be. Pussy-grabbing Trump is King Cyrus. It says so in the Bible.

Meanwhile humans, the gold standard for real intelligence, may give the correct answer. Or they may give the wrong answer believing it to be correct because they are weak-minded & addled by Facebook. Or they may give the wrong answer knowing it is wrong because it is a way of flipping off the libs.

To summarize: Chatbots may give the correct answer. Or they may give the wrong answer because they are hallucinating. Or they may give an incoherent answer because they are confused. Or they may give no answer because they are not allowed to address the subject.
