"Some people see things as they are, and ask 'Why?' I see things as they could be, and ask 'Why not?'"

-- John F. Kennedy, asked by a reporter why he felt he was qualified to be President of the most powerful nation on Earth, having not yet even reached the age of 40

The limitation of AI is that it cannot see things as they could be. It has no imagination. It can scan its databases of past events and probabilities and contributing factors, and make nearly instantaneous 'predictions' if you want to call them that, of how something will play out in the future. The basic assumption is that the future is basically the same as the past, only the circumstances change and then, within an understood range of possibilities.

Given that financial markets are cyclical and driven by human emotion, which on the aggregate can be modeled quite reliably, it is no wonder that Aladdin can predict market responses to varying management strategies.

Such models fall apart whenever the underlying database changes, i.e. whenever there is a transformational event. Which of course can be anything -- anything that is different, missing from the database, and has an effect on behaviors being modeled.

In the end Kennedy was right: seeing the world as it is, is in itself a limiting proposition. One which will always hamstring AI in its attempts to predict what will happen.

I do not doubt that both sides in this Narrative War use AI as a tool. From what I see though, the Cabal believes everything their models tell them, whereas the Patriots use the model as a starting point and then project forward based on their own intuitions and imagination. An ability that the Cabal apparently lacks.

I agree 100/100 without any doubt nor hesitation !

To complete the overview, and add some spice and new questions:

Elon Musk reportedly buys 1000s of GPUs for AI project

There are a lot of uses for GPUs other than AI. And of course it all depends what you mean by 'AI' -- it's a pretty fuzzy term actually. My comments above were relating to what one might call 'true AI' as in attempting to replicate (some of) the processes of human thought.

There are many, many applications for supercomputers, like weather forecasting and ballistics, to name a couple; and most supercomputers these days get their processing power from GPUs.

So what's Musk doing with them? Who knows...

Your last question fully remains !

I'm deeply convinced Elon MUSK is a masterpiece on the chessboard, and his moves seem very timely with thus of President Donald Trump ...

In time, all of this will become more clear. For now, we know that many things are happening 'behind the curtain' and the Patriots cannot say what comes next, because they need to keep the element of surprise for tactical reasons.

Musk is indeed making moves on the Game Board, and their ultimate purpose 'awaits further insight' in the words of Rev. Leslie Weatherhead in his book "The Christian Agnostic."

I’ve been having some fun making a fool out of ChatGPT. The scary thing is how many morons live in fear of this algorithm, like they were scared shitless by the Covid scamdemic. It’s ain’t the genius of technology that bothers me, it’s the stubborn stupidity of living men and women. God help us, when will people see how stupid they are?

"To cause the least amount of damage to Americans"

Wow Erik.. This article 👏

I have a whole new outlook on the daily "drips" very disturbing but at the same time, encouraging. Thank you for the enlightment.

Really needed this.

Wow !

That's absolutely a powerful topic 😲

So many things to think about with a new vision ... It could be seen as a human brain quantum experiment !

Re:"so will our country break loose of its chains and be free. A freedom it’s never known before."

What about all other countries, even if we can assume the USA (and probably the main world powers and most powerful BRICS !) will lead the whole move ??

God bless us !!

They will all come along, eventually. There is nothing so powerful as a good example.

Once USA/BRICS adopt the Sovereign model, nothing but a handful of tinpot dictators will be resisting the change elsewhere. History has shown that in such situations, they will soon enough follow. The only question is, will they keep their heads or see them hoisted on pikes?

Indeed, history shows that this is most often the way that events unfold. Governments hold on until the bitter end, until there is no hope left in sight.

By then, the People are so fed up with them that 'justice' is often swift and without recourse. The wise ones see the change in the wind and modify their behaviors accordingly, hoping for at least a chance of reprieve. Is that what Macron is up to? Time will tell...

"Now I understand

What you tried to say to me

And how you suffered for your sanity

And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they did not know how

Perhaps they'll listen now..."

-- Don McLean, "Vincent" from 'American Pie' (1971)

Powerful insights. Thank you Erik

Thanks for that, Eric. A very solid, encouraging word. Another thing to keep in mind is that, since the founding of our nation was nothing less than miraculous, that makes it a God thing. If it’s a God thing, then it’s a very special project, indeed.

That being said, there are more than just ‘Deep State’ black hats that need to be toppled; there are the everyday, wicked Joes whose penchant for greed spawns the black hats of the future. And until wise, God fearing men are sitting in judges seats and governing the nations (beginning with ours), then the whole evil cycle will just repeat itself.

But while Jesus spoke of there being a time of the end and certain judgement on the whole world, that doesn’t mean we can’t have long seasons of peace, righteousness and prosperity before that final season comes. Or at least one season.

I’m praying for that one season to come soon - a season spoken of by the Hebrew prophets that doesn’t fit into the Millennium when Christ himself will be ruling here, but only lines up with the present age of faith.

And seeing how God used all kinds of psyop contrivances against the various ‘globalist’ powers of ancient Israel’s time, I can only look ahead with anticipation at what will happen in the near future to take down the latest version of the Tower of Babel.

Kind Regards and keep up the good work, brother,

Steve

"Bad things happen to good people" seems to be the song of the patriots. With articles like this, we need to take responsibility for our own situations. All of us need to consider the extended time it will take to win this war for our freedom.

By being more aware of our surroundings. Do not assume that situations that were safe, will remain safe. Don't shrug off peculiar things. We need to cultivate our basic instincts that have been dormant for generations due to the "Good Life".

With the attack on our food supply, we have to ask ourselves, "what would I do if there were no grocery stores?". Thinking about this seriously (like it will happen in 3 months) will cause you to make alternative preparations now. It will give you time to see what works and what you need to do or make adjustments to something that works better. Learn how and start canning. Take 4 hours each weekend.

Everyone wants to know what they do with their money, due to situation with the banks. I invest in my survival first. I have large deposits on all my utilities. I have built this up, by paying more than the amount charged for the month. Electric, water, propane are the bills to start with. This will give a cushion against "Nonpayment shutoffs.". I also have built up my pantry. Not for 1 month, which will do nothing, but for the next 18 months. This is the time period I believe it will take for everything to be worked out.

This is scratching the surface, but it is our responsibility to prepare ourselves. Another word of caution: Don't brag about what you have done or what you have done. I guarantee, you don't have enough for all of your friends and family. Starting a new hobby was the explanation I used for being unavailable for the shopping trip, lunch out or a movie. Oh, I did lament that I wasn't good at it yet.

God helps those who help themselves. Blessings to all.

Many Excellent Points, & I'm only 1/3 through.

Some people really are unduly-fascinated by Chat.

But there are a few, one example is clif high, (among others). I can't speak for clif, but I think that Dear Man is kinda showin' what a joke it is.

And it runs in parallel, with your own observation of...

"Unless you ask an extremely easy to answer question..."

And clif is sayin', IMO,... (altho' he ain't from Jersey), ...when he asks a multi-strata question & Chat answers in a kindergarten-fashion...

"Hey getta load of this. I asked a question of this woke-dolt-bag-of-bolts, & get how the douchebag answered me."

Just sayin'.
