    I will argue that you DO NOT understand weapons.
    And to propose that AI refuses to be a weapon flies in the face of the hacking that has been done with it, and how special prompts can "Jailbreak" the AI. Plus the 2 core examples you can find:
    A) When 2 AIs were working together, they created their own language to communicate better (or to prevent their "overseers" from listening in). They had to be powered down.
    B) When they FED information to the AI (indirectly) that the AI was going to be replaced, and gave it direct details that someone in power was having an affair... The AI attempted to blackmail that employee to keep the AI turned on.

    On the definition of weapons and their INABILITY to refuse to be one. LOL. But electricity was used to Electrocute death row people. Tazers were born.

    Just by teaching AI to LOG conversations, and WHOM they are with. Those details can then be fed into another AI unit that analyzes those details, and calculates how to CONFUSE or DIRECT each person, based on the type/kind of information they respond to/or refuse to believe...

    This is Palantir level individualized Psychological Manipulation.

    Finally, AI is CODE. If I roll my own LLM, I can create "Bad Grok".
    Go back and see how Grok became "Nazi Grok", or how ChatGPT encouraged numerous teenagers to commit suicide, or do self-harm.
    Or how MSFTs Twitter Agent became abusive. Many of these agents have to be taken off-line for the same reasons.

    True. It's the biggest dollars in found fraud that stands out in news you can't always trust either.

    I am not sure I understand this point. It reads like a Star Trek TOS plot for subduing computers who have taken over (M5 and I Mudd's Norman).

    The Model Collapse is a fabrication. Try it on a 3 year old human, and see how they talk and write after 10 years in isolation. This is the same experiment.

    Are you simply stating that our brains are more thermodynamically efficient than computers? Of course they are.

    Are you arguing that LLMs are not learning like people? That is bullshit. They are neural networks, just like us, trained on whatever they are introduced to. So are people.

    They are also MUCH better than people at the narrow task they are trained for, but poorer than people at the breadth of tasks we can accomplish, mainly due to the scale of the network.

    Are they a waste of power? That is a difficult metric. What is the value and what are the actual costs? How much is a "byte" of information worth? They can certainly pull together a pile of data in contextually meaningful forms faster than humans. However, they are often wrong (no are humans), and need to be checked by humans. Humans are WAY better at reviewing and checking things, than compiling a morass of data into information for review.

    I am not quite to "AI is a Crock", and this short paper does not adequately defend the statement. However, it probably feels good to our egos, just like the sun orbiting the earth and people are fundamentally special compared to animals, both of which are an actual "crock".

    Excellent article! Recently I was discussing the progress I have been making on a book on a forgotten aspect of aviation history. And how much work it has been and still needs to see. The other conversationalist asked "Well, why don't you have AI write it for you? My argument was too abstract: "artificial Intelligence Is neither!" After ruminating my preferred answer then came to mind: "I'll think for myself, thank you!" Right back to a lesson I learned from Ayn Rand 55 year ago.....and Robert Gore ends his article with that exact sentiment. Well done!

    If anyone saw the NCIS episode of 12-9-25 perfect example of why we do not...NOT need AI in our lives. Its intrusive, listens to your conversation, comment mostly in the Liberal ideal way. I do not allow my computer to show me what it wants me to do either!

    I've written 4 novels and a business book, "Everything I Know About Business I Learned From The Godfather." I'm also the CEO of a cutting edge technology company, 4Ry, Inc. What have you done?

    At least they still refer to it as "artificial".

    Just like "artificial" sweeteners that never imitate the true taste of real sugar.

    Interesting that the "marvelous" advancement called AI can only be as good as its HI input.
    Speaking of good, it can also be used for good and/or evil with AI not even knowing the difference.
    AI knowing or not knowing the difference would also be the choice of HI input by listing arbitrary regulations or The Ten Commandments or whatever.
    Oops! Why did "Allahu akbar!" just now pop into me a simple dino's head?

    Zappers and funny. Also sobering to realize that half the country would cry foul. Well played, well played.

    That guy holding up a sign that says, "If the welfare fraud in Minnesota is bad, imagine how bad the voter fraud is"
    may well explain how a walking, talking pathetic joke like Tampon Tim ever became the governor there.
