    Impeaching Mayorkas Gains Momentum Among Key House Republicans

    83,000 illegals came into the US last week. Wichita Falls is only 100,000. Mayorkas and his smug bullshit need to be removed for emergency purposes.

    Another good comment; It is not an either-or proposition.
    Human effort semi-automated by AI is one of the most common methods of doing work or spreading propaganda.

    The internet, including random, small forums everywhere are already flooded with wholesale AI propaganda. (See the Dead Internet Theory)
    With this method, they do not care if they win over the group; they care about presenting their lie over and over again with the knowledge that it will affect the views of a small percentage of the people who see it, shift the window of acceptable discourse or waste the time of people who are opposed to the propaganda.

    Semi-automated AI propaganda is more targeted; it is more closely monitored, is more likely to use old accounts bought from the dark web, may include the occasional genuine human post and may be part of global social engineering efforts, may promote certain public figures that spread Covid Propaganda etc, like Lex Friedman, and are generally more effective.

    The effectiveness of these propaganda campaigns is high among populations that are lower IQ, blindly trust authority or do not suspect the presence of AI bots and propaganda efforts.
    The propaganda has been laughably ineffective in certain online communities, even producing backlash against the intended aims of the propaganda.

    In a just world, Myorkas would be tried for treason.

    Technology always destroys jobs, the trade off is that it hopefully creates new jobs in the future. The same way that demolishing an apartment block to rebuild a new apartment block removes places to live. The short term disruption is what matters.

    AI and general robotics, especially when paired together are unlike anything previous because they are not replacing a job. They are replacing the person.

    The mechanical wheat harvester replaced all wheat harvesters, forcing them to get other jobs. That worked because it only replaced one job. The wheat harvester didn't affect accountants. But AI software puts accountants out of jobs, and they then can't go and retrain as an insurance actuary because the same AI also does that job. That's the key issue. It's not replacing a job, it's replacing people.
    Theoretically everyone could have a microbusiness that's run by AI and 2-3 contract workers who have their own AI, but that's one hell of an economic disruption.

    Nothing to see here. For sure we won't investigate possible vaccine correlations. Maybe we will send them on a wild goose chase and put the blame on some microbes that no one will look into.

    Generating profit does not mean it isn't shrinking its workforce. To the contrary, it probably does so well BECAUSE it has been able to refine the model to rely on less human laborers. A lot of IT work is gig economy work, for fuck's sake.

    Briggs: The Time of Day: Experts: The Coronadoom Vax Only Worked If You Got It At Lunch – William M. Briggs

    Nature headline: “Timing matters for COVID vaccine effectiveness: Younger and older people gained greater protection if they had their jabs in the middle of the day.” Good joke: “Went from ‘95% effective’ to ‘only works if you get it at lunch time’”.

    The peer-reviewed paper is “Biological rhythms in COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness in an observational cohort study of 1.5 million patients” by Guy Hazan and some unknown number of others (the list of names has an ellipsis!) in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

    I can’t beat the opening joke. But I might be able to explain how our authors came to provide the material for it. A dismal, thankless task, because once you pull out the humor-scope, you paralyze all possibility of laughter. Please forgive me.

    Obvious thing first: it is absurd. The result. It is ridiculous. It cannot be believed or entertained. After two-plus years of rulers and Experts screaming at people to take the shot or be fired, or worse, and not one word from these hyperbolic hersterical harridans that you have to do it in the window between the first sip of your lunchtime martini and before it effect fade out? No way is this paper right.
    Because you will believe anything.

    The top universities (whatever that means anymore) all have majors and graduate programs in cyber security. They didn’t 20-20yrs ago. Is that good or bad? I don’t know. I am only claiming that new technology historically has resulted in net new jobs which is contrary to the predictions of the last 200 yrs…. These things are never a finite sum. Only a fool thinks that they are.

    From professor Retsef Levi, MIT expert in analytics , risk management and safety:

    The studies 'clearing' the safety of COV vaccines for use in pregnancy are fundamentally biased & in fact concerning!

    Watch the video to see why.

    Those recklessly recommending COV vaccines to pregnant women will respond with a 'list' of papers. None I know addresses the issue.
