Dear Editors:
Maureen Dowd was great in comparing an Artificial Intelligence “fantasy” to writing like Shakespeare. It was rather humorous. And the point made about how we may all be relegated to being like a “family pet,” was a remarkable comment about what A.I. may do to us all.
Fantasy and reality are important aspects of this issue. Many of us found reality being pulled out from beneath us as Reagan implemented his “Star Wars” program in the military. It cost the taxpayers much money and was worth nothing. At the time, we were working with a U.S. Air Force project to examine the best practices for reliably producing software with consideration of the most productive software engineering practices. Reagan “Star Wars” ruined the project for reality by using “fantasy” for nowhere’s ville.
We need reality. President Joe Biden talks about working towards reality by proposing infrastructure work to improve the semiconductor industry which barely exists in the USA and is threatened by a takeover from Communist China of the Chinese island of Taiwan where most of the semiconductor industry now operates. The USA would be more controlled by Communists than the conspiracy lies indicate by attacking one another in America and falsely calling some people “communists” or “socialists.” President Biden is wrongly labeled as “Sloppy Joe” and God knows what other crap hurled at him. He wants to improve the needs of this nation, economically, and does not wish to be affixed to Communist China when our military needs semiconductors. It makes more sense to call President Biden Proactive Joe.
Similarly, a Democratic Party Congressperson in upstate New York loses to Trump-funded Tenney in central New York, after successfully working to have military contracts handing out money to foreign nations and bringing them back to USA concerns in upstate New York. The man loses to Trumpster Claudia Tenney by how many votes? Something like only 100 votes, after the recounts? Hope that I am correct on that count of numbers. So Brindisi gives up and moves on to something else. When I wanted to give up on something and do another activity, in high school, I had a high school teacher convince me that we don’t give up. Perhaps Brindisi needs to learn what the late Nick Rucco taught me.
With both of these examples, I have to ask the nerds of Silicone Valley how they intend to do well with A.I. if the semiconductors and other “digerati” obsessed are produced outside this nation? Oh, I get it! That way the stupidity of those supporting Trump, Repugnicans, and digerati can blame the fantasy world they create on a sloppy Joe, right? Gosh. To lame things on a roll stuffed with ground beef and sauce. How humanly intelligent. And, as Maureen Dowd concludes, “then we’ll need our dog bowls.”
