Better A.I. would remember what it learns, just as humans do, and squeeze more work from each watt. Tech companies spend billions of dollars running large language models that don't learn while they run.
-- Carl Benedikt Frey/2025 [sounds like AI/LLM backed by some RDBMS which stores the learning? sound familiar?]
There's not a single example of things working out for the appeaser.
-- Nicolle Wallace/2024 [like this? the next extortion is on the way]
Effective with the 2026 mid-term elections, military proctors will be stationed at every shithole Blue city polling place, demanding to see a current, valid United States of Alabama passport. No passport, no vote. I am the dictator.
