Corrupter planning on US government buying TikTok
The corrupter
is planning
for the US government to buy TikTok.
That way, instead of spying for authoritarian China it will spy for
the authoritarian US. Instead of authoritarian Chinese censorship,
users will encounter authoritarian US censorship.

Odd hero for antifascists
An odd
hero for antifascists: "Today, we find ourselves in the middle
of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the
FBI and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in
accordance with the law and FBI policy," wrote James E Dennehy,
who has led the New York field office since last September.
He may be able to sue to stop this purge.
Cops, mostly Republicans, used to stand for "law and order" targeted
at the weak, poor and downtrodden. Here is one who stands for law and
order against marauding billionaires.

US and Mexico to postpone tariffs
The US and Mexico have
made
a deal to postpone tariffs.
It may be impossible to carry out — I don't think any country has
ever succeeded in stopping smuggling of drugs, or guns — but at least
there is nothing barbaric and cruel in it, and nothing fascist.

Wrecker and muskrat carrying out coup
Robert Reich: "winning" an election (*) and becoming president didn't
give the wrecker
enough power, so he and
the muskrat
are carrying
out a coup,
overthrowing constitutional government at various government agencies
that make payments required by law.
We can call this unusual event a step-by-step slow coup.
It depends on the subornation of the actual legal authorities
so that they obey the duumvirate rather than upholding the checks
and balances of the Republic.

Unsolved question of artificial intelligence
One of the unsolved questions of artificial intelligence is how to tell
whether an apparently intelligent system really has thoughts and feeling.
Is it conscious, or is it only mimicking. Some academics are
proposing
moral rules for treatment of any artificial conscious systems.
The case of today's bullshit generators has nothing to do with this.
We know how they work, and we know they are not conscious.
There is no need to worry that a chatbot will feel hurt by your
cursing at being compelled to talk to it.
