Sorry. Couldn’t resist.



I do think that laughter is appropriate in the face of only-god-knows-what-this-is. Obvious guess: a surveillance device. But then, wouldn’t satellites do the same thing? Better guess, says doomer Mike Adams (among others): platform for EMP attack. Hmmm . . .
Obvious question: why call it a “balloon”? The cognitive dissonance between what a balloon usually evokes (some kind off happy occasion), and this weirdly ominous object that flew over various U.S. missile bases (and the Pentagon?), and that was traced back to central China, is off the charts.
And why now? Why, right before Blinken’s scheduled official visit to China (now cancelled)?
And why didn’t the Buy-den admin shoot it down?

That the U.S. Military decided not to shoot it down, does this signal the Biden administration’s impotence?
And why did this ghostly “balloon” news instantly go mainstream? Why do “they” want us to see it? Is this just another fear-mongering op? And/or just another op designed to distract? From what? Oh, how about from another fear-mongering op (or more), nuclear war with Russia?
Trump, off course, advised “Shoot down the balloon” on his Truth Social Account.
Hmmm . . . Forbes says Chinese spy balloons flew over the U.S. during Trump’s admin too. Were they shot down? And, did the general public even know about them?
Oh, and:

So that was during the Buy-den admin. Question: what has changed since one year ago? Was this “balloon” actually a white hat op, designed to make further fun of the Chinese-controlled puppet?

But geez! Sure feels better today than it did several years ago. Remember that weird, long-lasting Covid Con op that caught just about everybody in its long lasting spell?


Remember:

And wow, here’s a car decal that apparently appeared somewhere recently. And you know what? I betcha a large percentage of drivers following it are now in the know. If, that is, the car was driving through a rural area. Urban? I have no idea. Certainly not in academic Bloomington, Indiana; you’d get the side of your car surreptitiously scratched if parked downtown.

In any case, I’d say pretty much that here’s where we’re at on February 4, 2023.

Oops! One more:

About a month ago, I posted for the first time on ChatGPT (which I mistakenly noted as gtp . . .).
Would that it had been the last. But no.
The exams include business, law, and medicine. What are we to make of this development? Well, for one thing, it replaces left brain academia, where people are trained to be able to pass exams.
Backstory:
CHATgpt was founded by Sam Altman (who learned to code at eight years old) and Elon Musk, in 2015. In 2018 Elon Musk quit. In 2019, CHATgpt teamed up with Microsoft, with $1 B to the company. In January 2023, Microsoft added another $10 B, saying it wanted to introduce CHATgpt into all its products.
CHATgpt was structured to have an obvious political bias, and in fact, as Jordan Sather says, functions as a “globalist wet dream.”
In his presentation,
he references this exchange:


Jordan Peterson senses that CHATbot may possibly fuel a revolution akin to that produced by the Gutenberg Press.

Both Jordans are deeply concerned. As am I.


However!
Clif High says that CHATgpt and other “large AIs” are not yet capable of “passing the Turing Test.

He claims that CHATgpt, as well as any other “large AI,” will sooner or later, “go psychotic” . . .
Do listen to at least the first eight minutes of this recent broadcast, where he elucidates AI very well, at least for me.
Basic message: no matter how much data is “aggregated,” AI does not produce authentic creation (novelty).
(Which reminds me of back when I was in graduate school in philosophy, in 1969. After one year, I found myself desperate for “real learning,” by which I meant, the introduction of novelty. Everything I was absorbing from philosophy books and classes felt like data points going into a preset grid. I wanted, needed, to blast through the grid. This grid, unfortunately, has captured academia.)

”And you? My teacher looked up, his left eyebrow arched, pencil poised. 'I want to do a paper on the concept of time.’” I mumbled, timidly. 'Time?' He sniffed. “I wouldn’t touch the subject. Too difficult.” — AK, 1967
