This insufferable band of Holy Scouts was the reason I never liked TNG. I find DS9 much more believable, up to and including Trump as Gul Dukat. That character was prescient. There is one difference between the two though. While both are malignant pathological narcissists, the fictional Gul Dukat knew how to fake grace once in a while. The real Trump doesn't give a shit.

The old adage comes to mind that you don't get answers on the internet by asking questions but by posting the wrong answer.

People love using worse or outright wrong terms for stuff. Especially if everybody has gotten used to the wrong term already.

Couldn't actual combinatoric software do this much more targeted, cheaper, faster, and more controlled? What does using a slot machine add here, except heating the planet even more?

That's what it means to be poor. You have to eat first. You don't have the choice to not eat so you can save the cost for something else.

I was about to think that this is the first not outrageously idiotic thing I hear from Trump, but calling it "super intelligence" instead is of course even more wrong. How could I be so naive and optimistic.

> He signed an executive order in September directing the executive branch to use SI, instead of AI.

He's definitely bullshitmaxxing, which perfectly matches expectations.
