NEW: President Trump lashes out at a CNN reporter while defending his decision to delay sanctions against Russia during negotiations to free American Stephen Hubbard: "You don't know what you're talking about. You're a dummy, you're a low IQ person." Trump argues that imposing sanctions during the negotiations would have immediately jeopardized Hubbard's release. "So use your head," he tells the reporter.

President Trump said he called Google Maps and asked to rename the Atlantic Ocean. “No, no, no. This time I'm not doing it ... oceans are different, sir," Google CEO Sundar Pichai replied, Trump said at a rally in South Carolina. The president said he was told the company would not do so because oceans span multiple countries. He added that he would likely drop the idea.

People who say it's a fantasy that AI humanoid robots will be taking jobs and replacing people: okay, if we don't build them, that'll be true, but if they get built, in mass production, what are they going to do with them? Millions of unemployed, unused robots?

“We’re not going to be intimidated, we’re not going to be silenced, we’re not going to be scared.” Rep. Ilhan Omar breaks her silence and turns to supporters for financial help as a federal investigation into her immigration history continues. In a new video, the Minnesota Democrat thanks supporters and asks for donations to help her through what she calls an "expensive and challenging" period. Last week federal investigators searched her Washington, D.C., home, seized her phone, and issued more than a dozen grand jury subpoenas to family members. Omar denies wrongdoing and says the investigation is politically motivated.

Are tech billionaires like weather people trying to predict what tomorrow's forecast will be, but with technology, or are they people creating the weather and telling us what storms are coming?

If you have ever worked in a warehouse or factory and have seen a new machine installed that basically eliminated a position of work that people used to do, you'll know that full automation is possible with the right AI robots and machines. I thought of ways myself, they can too.

Fact two, as I see it, is that this AI future is already happening. More and more cars have driverless modes, either for parking or cruising, and some people have nearly fully autonomous driverless cars. The trend continues; in 10-20 years, all cars will be controlled by AI.
2
The evidence that this future with AI and robots isn't a pipedream is in the physical world. Fact one, most people have AI already and are using it in some way, either at work or on their own with their smartphone. It's here, and we have it, and it's not going anywhere..

BREAKING: President Trump provides a stark warning over Ukraine, demanding President Zelenskyy negotiate an end to the conflict while blasting the hundreds of billions sent overseas by the United States. "Ukraine has to want to settle this war. Zelenskyy has to want to settle this war. And if he doesn't, I think it's going to be a very bad thing." "We've got nothing back other than high diesel... We have given probably- possibly more money to Ukraine that almost anybody over the years, hundreds of billions of dollars."

The new newest AI worry is called "gradual disempowerment" and without knowing that someone else wrote a paper on this subject recently this is roughly what I've been saying for a while now. We'll give more and more control to AI in our lives until it's in total control.
