The future is all bot vs. bot
Scott Rosenberg,    -  Axios

Stephan: The more I learn about AI the more it seems to me to be a very mixed bag. For one thing, I think bots may be one of the reasons SR gets so many hacks. What really concerns me is the amount of misinformation being spewed out by bots that influence human perceptions and thinking. I believe it is affecting governments all over the world, particularly democracies because they are based on human consensus.

Matthew Chapman,  Staff Writer  -  Raw Story

Stephan: I am surprised the media has not seemed to comprehend that everyone criminal Trump apooints to anything, from staff to agencies, to courts are corrupt. Look at how many are in prison. I think you have to be corrupt and willing to be subservient to Trump in order for him to appoint or hire you.

U.S. Confidence in Higher Education Now Closely Divided
JEFFREY M. JONES,    -  The Gallup Organization.

_Stephan: I have many issues with the cost of colleges and universities, but this sad decline in confidence about higher education I see as the result of misinformation and MAGAtism. Note that there is a correlation between the drop in confidence and affiliation with the MAGAt Party. Consider this: 54% of the American public can only read to 6th grade level – so the … ⌘ Read more

How to Replace Biden as the Democratic Nominee
Scott W. Lang,  Attorney and Former Mayor of New Bedford, Masssachusetts  -  Boston Globe
