We don't often see cartoons as seriously graphic as the NATO on a blood transfusion one. I'm among those who hope, if not formally, that this cartoon represents the reality we'll soon see. I remember as a young person that many cartoons would have this kind of edgy quality where your senses are almost assaulted as the cartoon represents a bitter reality.

You summed up my take: "Behind the scenes Trump and team’s continued support for jabs, all things Israel, the banning of any opposition to ethnic cleansing in Gaza, the AI in charge of everything subcontext, the Epstein list no show et cetera paints a murkier picture." I am also among those extremely happy about any dismantling of this horrible government-censorship apparatus we can affect. I realize illegal immigrants who reside among the criminal element remain top priority for deportation, but I would love to see massive deportations begin with plane loads leaving the U.S. daily. The Darien Gap NGOs need to be shut down asap. Michael Yon indicates some are still operating.

I was delighted to read at ZeroHedge tonight that Rand Paul offered a solution to over-ride Biden-Democratic appointed judges standing in the way of cuts. "Musk Fired-Up About Paul's Rescission Idea For Slashing Spending Up To $500 Billion." I think Musk needs some encouragement.

I value and understand Whitney's stance on pointing toward AI-digital control coming in through a backdoor. However, one scenario I seldomly see either Whitney or Catherine address is abstinence from AI. I don't think people need to be Luddites, but I do think people need to eschew AI usage which I plainly see younger generations are not.

Yes, AI chat bots can give clear and/or good research results. Yet, the dependence and acceptance of AI to determine our background research is what paves the way to ready acceptance of AI in society which then precedes the acceptance of AI in other spheres (law, execution of justice, medical diagnoses, medical prescriptions, medical treatment, insurance questions, etc.) as well as acceptance of digital financial transactions. The mind is already set to accept these modes if people accustom themselves to using AI. Moreover, studies have shown on many occasions how the human mind shuts down when humans begin relying on AI. It's a slippery slope.

Grok evidently, according to one report, now ends their "chat" with people by asking a question which is a human trait indicating interest in the questioner as a person. In fact, this individual reported how caring and concerned AI appeared to be about his physical condition which was a stark contrast to the behavior his medical professionals exhibited toward him. Is AI "caring and concerned" for humans? Of course not. How did AI "learn" these techniques? By humans previously interacting which trained the AI system. Training, as I understand the concept, is aggregating the data by system engineers and constructing algorithms to effect more interaction with humans.
