Greetings! Doomsday alarm: Today marks the one-year anniversary of the publication of If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All. It’s clear that Trump hasn’t read it (or had it read to him) because he’s ignoring warnings about the dangers of AI and wants research to accelerate without guardrails.  And, as I noted yesterday, most of right-wing media is lining up behind him with many outlets expressing skepticism about why tech giants want government regulation. The book should probably be required reading for all senior White House officials. Great title, BTW....Worth noting: Melania Trump spoke to elementary school students in North Carolina yesterday and advised them not to fear AI technology, according to the NY Post. When Melania Trump, who no one has ever described as a technology visionary, starts giving us advice about artificial intelligence, we’re all in trouble....Yikes! Far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer took one look at Sen. Mitch McConnell’s return to the Congress Monday and pronounced him “brain dead.” “You can’t look at his face and say he’s not a vegetable,” she wrote on X. “He’s not even responding to cognition tests. It’s like wheeling a corpse around. Worse than what the Democrats did with Joe Biden to be honest”...Troubles at Truth Social: For the fourth month in a row, visits to the Trump-controlled Truth Social decreased, according to TheRighting’s exclusive research. I’d say it’s another sign of the president’s rapidly declining popularity. And audiences may be tiring of the offensive and violent AI-generated imagery he uses in his Truth Social posts...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
