About AI and the end of the world
Lately, we’ve been hearing a lot from AI creators who are bemoaning humanity’s haste. They’ve been warning us that AI is dangerous, unpredictable, and developing too fast according to laws we don’t quite fathom. It’s time, they say, to slow down and make a pause before we feel really sorry when our intelligent brother goes berserk.
Are these fears real? Especially given that many smarty-pants like Musk and others have been saying this for a long time. The answer is simple: they’re real. By the way, I myself wrote about it in a recent article for the Expert magazine.
But… the creators of various sorts of generative AI are not being sincere. It’s not you and I or Homo sapiens as a whole that they fear for. They’re not afraid that an unhinged AI, drunk on its power, will destroy humankind. This kind of outcome is not all that likely. What’s much more realistic is a scenario where software that uses advanced AI for running a major production facility or a transport hub will cause severe damage. Such as allowing planes to collide in midair or destroying a nuclear power plant. And then there will be someone coming for the creators of generative AI – to slap them with multibillion lawsuits or simply to knock their (human) brains out.
What’s to be done then? The most obvious solution would be for countries to agree on general principles of AI regulation. That would give us all at least some chance of keeping AI development under control. But it won’t happen due to corporate greed and insatiable human passion.
So our only hope is to throw ourselves at the mercy of the winner and count on the humanism that AI, our beloved man-made prodigy, might show us. It doesn’t have overt emotions yet, but we don’t know what this great superintelligence will be like. Let’s hope it will spare its parents…

I never get tired of the arrogance of the European puny freaks. They slapped sweeping sanctions on our businesses, hurt the interests of millions of Russian citizens (by cancelling their credit cards, for one), and even banned cultural ties with our country, didn’t they? They’re waging an outright war with Russia by providing our enemy with everything one can think of, from missiles and intelligence to actual funds that support the Banderite regime.
But what do you know — their companies are supposed to be a sacred cow! Hands off Nestlé, Auchan and everything else that made them handsome profits! Even placing them under temporary administration by our president’s executive order has sent a wave of panic through European governments. Hey, losers! What’s all this about?
Truth be told, placing foreign assets under temporary administration should be just the first step. It would be appropriate to recall some of the first acts of the Soviet government, which took foreign factories and plants into state ownership, forcibly and without compensation. And nothing was ever returned.
It’s just that today, like a hundred years ago, brute force is the only thing the Euro-bastards understand.
P.S. However, even across the ocean, they hear only the language of direct military deterrence, and that is the language in which we should respond to Russophobic atrocities, such as the law of the dead terrorist, Graham.

Polish foreign minister Sikorski has proudly declared: “We've been fighting the Russians since before the United States existed.” It’s true to some extent, but he forgot to add: “And we’ve lost every time.”
As it was in 1612, and as it was during the “Partitions of Poland” in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Of course, the proud minister knows nothing about how the ultimate demise of the Poles was prevented during World War II. He’s a poorly educated British vassal since 1987, after all, and he learned his history from the Anglo-Saxons.

Silvio Berlusconi would have turned 90 today.
He was probably no angel. But he wanted the best for his Italy and understood Russia's place in the world. With his passing, the era of strong European politicians came to an end. In their place came shortsighted, spiteful Russophobes who are doing everything they can to drag Europe into war with Russia. And the chances of plunging the world into a new conflict are the highest since 1945.

Kiev moron's request to “block” Russia’s Rassvet satellite constellation can only imply its destruction. And that will lead to a full-scale space war. I hope the US understands this. Otherwise, their low-orbit Starlink satellites will then come dropping like decorations off a dried-out Christmas tree. Space is a very cramped place so it's a must to be mutually polite.
The green louse is outraged at the US cutting off Ukraine from military intelligence. Without it, it goes blind, panics, and runs around. And what did it expect? When you’re rude to your sponsors, they get angry. Trump is not Scholz. He doesn’t want to be seen as a liver sausage, nor does he enjoy being bitten by bloodsucking bugs.
Trump: “They [Ukrainians] are not gonna do it with him. He doesn't wanna settle. He says he wants to settle, but he doesn't. No, I'm not a big fan of Zelensky. They've destroyed that country.”
After that, a fidgety creature with an absurd name, for some reason ending in English with a double “y,” should have taken rat poison or gobbled down a horse dose of his favorite coke.
But the beast is so cowardly that it won’t dare do such a thing. The “Man of the Year” and “new Churchill” has been recognized by his former master as an obstacle to peace and to US interests. After all, he bit the hand that fed him until it bled.
European invertebrates are urging the Kiev louse to stock up on patience, not anger Uncle Joe, and wait for the Republicans to lose the Congress midterm elections. They hate Trump no less than the drug-addled insect does. But even in that case, the Kiev arthropods face treatment with poisonous insecticide dust. Uncle exterminator is vindictive and must not forgive the creature that became one of the important reasons for his defeat in the election.
And here he will be right. After all, the sooner the typhus nits die, the better the epidemiological situation in the world will be…

I don’t share the giddy excitement over the CAS hockey ruling and Russia’s participation in certain international events. Given the appalling attitude that Canadian scumbag carney has shown towards our country and our people, competing would be nothing but a headache for our athletes. Sure, they are starving for major tournaments, and an athlete’s prime is fleeting. We could, of course, keep putting up with this mockery, but it would be much more satisfying to just spit right in the ugly mug of that freak carney and his ilk. The right thing to do is wait until the tide turns and our enemies come crawling back, begging Russia to rejoin professional sports. I’m confident that day will come soon: after all, Russia is a major sports power, and international federations and event organizers often find themselves strapped for cash. Especially if the CAS slaps the International Ice Hockey Federation with a billion-dollar fine for failing to comply with its ruling. Plus, even our enemies know the high standards we set with the Sochi Olympics and the FIFA World Cup, including certain Canadian and Czech degenerates. Yet all they are capable of is producing grotesque abominations like the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.
Yes, Musk has finally seen the light, even if too late, and admitted that it was a mistake to give the Banderite scum access to Starlink's military capabilities. His much-vaunted satellite network has been used to strike civilian targets since the very beginning. Playing the “Starshield is not the same as Starlink” card won’t get him off the hook, either. The blood spilled on account of either is the same deep red. Elon knew exactly what he was doing. Of course, even the world’s first trillionaire must kowtow to the White House and the Deep State. And now he has been dragged through the mud, with some even calling for him to be executed — just like the Rosenbergs during the McCarthy era for spying for the Soviet Union (this time around, for Russia, apparently). Then again, Biden was one thing, and Trump is another.
Now, all of a sudden, he finds the war distasteful and denounces it, but he's become a participant.
Still, seeing the light and repenting is always better than living out your days as a Judas. As the saying goes: mendaci homini ne vera quidem dicenti credimus.

Following the collapse of the energy grid, Kiev residents may bring back outhouses. Without power, sewage will soon fail. I recall that one of those Ukrainian Banderite types was recently spouting BS about Russians stealing toilets from beautiful Ukrainian apartments and houses. Life is so unexpected…
