AI: Already Malevolent?

Emergency Alert
Hurricane Warning this area. Check local media and authorities. -NWS
POKÉMON GO 2:57 AM
Different Pokémon may be appearing in parks around you. It’s a great time to explore your local parks!

Hell, even without the hurricane I’d be pretty wary of “exploring” a local park at 2:57 AM!

“Artificial Intelligence”’s first attempt to lure in easy victims?

Randy Cassingham is best known as the creator of This is True®, the oldest entertainment feature on the Internet: it has been running weekly by email subscription since early 1994. It is social commentary using weird news as its vehicle so it’s fun to read. Click here for the site — basic subscriptions are free.


Comments? Sorry: Facebook retired their commenting system (they didn’t even bother to alert me). Just as well, I suppose, but sadly there is no way to recover the many hundreds of comments made on this site. Lesson learned: never rely on someone else’s site for prime functions, especially “social media”!

Since this site is mostly retired now (maximum of one new post per month), I did decide that since all comments are now gone that I would not attempt to install any new commenting system. -rc
