I imagine most AI development is reasonable, but a sliver* of it reaches the zenith of human hubris: Hey gang! Let's launch an electronic species in our image!
* may be an inaccurate quantitative designation.

Gee. Could this be a preview of what the US looks like in year four of Trump's Iran War?
From Jan. 29, 2026.
Click through—even for a minute or two—and get a good look at the civilization Trump wants to wipe off the map.
Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!
Wait .... Trump got his dance moves from Curly? Who knew?
The culture "almost snickers" at Musk because he's a ketamine-addled oligarch who uses his copious time & resources to relentlessly peck at an iphone to foment hatred, division, racism and (perhaps most importantly) idiocracy.
HAHAHAHAHA
"an old piece of paper with some writing on it"
Aw, baby ... same goes for a US dollar bill. Just wait'll you see what happens when the world realizes that.
He also never stops badmouthing the United States of America and it's people.
No mystery here. POTUS is a criminal who has surrounded himself with unethical people.
For this group, the financial markets are a big playground that burps money at you when you manipulate it. Eventually that manipulation will lead us to the Great Trump Depression.
Poor ol' Elise. She didn't quite have the right "look" for Donnie, now did she?

Joe Rogan might be standing behind him, but Mr. Trump should instead pay more attention to the growing number of Americans right in front of him who are downright ENJOYING the spectacle of IRAN putting POTUS's jewels in a vice.

Also, here's the source for the above quote:
www.politico.com/news/2026/04...
Politico's top story this morning: "Republicans are breathing a little easier this weekend, cautiously optimistic that President Donald Trump has found an off-ramp to end the war in Iran."
Three hours later I ask ... so, how'd that age for ya, boys?
People believed in this man because they thought he was a strong man who would fight for them. Now they're starting to realize he's a weak man who only fights for himself.
