So many AI results are faulty, erroneous, bogus, that it is proving - at least for now - to be unreliable
Oh noes. You must call the Pentagon ASAP and share your brilliant insight! Not a second to waste.;-)
War Department refocuses on AI, hypersonics and directed energy in major strategy overhaul
I am tired of tech bros making HUGE decisions without the consent of We The People. Maybe it is time to consider nationalizing the tech sector.
Actually, the textile industry in America became non competitive. American textile companies couldn’t sell their products because prices were not competitive with world markets. When sales disappeared, manufacturing was no longer possible.
American companies sold their manufacturing equipment to new textile enterprises started up all over the world.
Isolationists living under rocks can’t grasp the concept of a world market. They can’t comprehend the fact that Americans are no longer required to perform the drudge textile jobs.
The isolationists can’t grasp the fact that the American textile industry actually came from England because Massachusetts had lots of river power and cheap labor. Massachusetts lost the Textile industry to North Carolina where cost of production was less expensive. North Carolins established the best School of Textiles in the world to support the citizenry and the industry.
However, rising costs, especially wages, were not competative with Bangladesh and even Ecuador. Alas, North Carolina lost the textile business. However, new and better industry was established and there were plenty of workers available. North Carolina thrives
“You haven’t watched garbage get collected lately. The automation is amazing.”
Did it for eight years. It is not automated at all, there is a highly skilled human in there running those joysticks and buttons. It is however fly by wire like modern aircraft and heavy equipment. That was my main job, to keep those fly by wire systems working correctly. There is a stack of three systems to make each equipment operation happen. An electric button/switch that controls an electric/pneumatic valve that controls an air piston that physically opens a hydraulic spool valve that controls hydraulic rams. But joysticks and/or buttons must be pushed by a human to make each equipment operation happen.
Now to the really amazing thing. Depending how far it is to go empty a loaded truck a few times a day, an operator and one truck can service anywhere from 600 to 800 homes in a normal residential route 12 hour shift. A commercial front load truck and operator can service up to around 300 front load containers in a normal 12 hour shift. And these guys are highly skilled. They are not just “tossing trash cans”. Operating the controls on these trucks is like operating a game controller but they are controlling equipment that is powerful enough to reach out and flip a car over in three seconds.
Dang
Credit 💳💳 card must have been through that bank
But yeah that’s how quickly things will change
The point of the tariff is to promote and protect American industry. So you are for that and a nationalist patriot or are you a traitor deserving the worst treatment possible.
I hate traitors that will sell us out for pennies on the dollar. We know the extra profit importing goods from communist and dirt poor countries goes to profit and stock holders. We benefit very little considering. Meanwhile the USA couldn’t make its own uniforms and supply the civilian population in a world war scenario. I guess we will go naked.
This is a warning for Free Traitors: if there is a world war KEEP YOUR SEDITION AND TREASON TALK TO YOURSELF. I will hide as many as I can but the torches and pitchforks will be out.
Disgusting Free Traitor lies and BS bump.
You are an ignorant idiot that is opposed to the President’s effort to MAGA
The President is bulldozing a new path for American companies to sell their products all over the world.
Trade drives the American industrial machine.
At least the EU imports only about half of their textiles. As opposed to the USA which imports all (98%) textiles: But the EU has Free Traitors too.
AI: EU Textiles:
Types of Textiles Imported
The majority of imports consist of knitted or crocheted apparel, which made up 50.9% of total imports in 2023.
Non-knitted/woven apparel accounted for 49.1%.
Market Dynamics
The EU’s textile import market has shown growth, averaging 4.1% per year from 2018 to 2023.
Suppliers from developing countries contributed 44.4% of all clothing imports into the EU in terms of value.
And, the EU is a dyeing consortium.
They follow the instructions of losers like you that dell in the past with no vision or concept of the present, much less the future.
How did the USA survive before 1980 when imports < 8% of GDP?
You’re a forked tongued traitor . You and your Marxist globalist ilk are economic terrorists.
AI :
Impact of Offshoring on U.S. Jobs
Job Loss Estimates
Offshoring has significantly affected U.S. employment, particularly in manufacturing and services.
Between 2001 and 2018, the growth of the U.S. trade deficit with China resulted in the loss of approximately 3.7 million American jobs.
A study indicated that offshoring accounted for about half a million layoffs in the past three years alone.
At least they won’t be naked you slime ball.
....and PM’s continue to do what they have done for centuries. Knowledge of Exter’s pyramid has preserved Wealth in troubled times for centuries, plain and simple.

I don’t think AI is evil.
Wait until AI cracks block chain encryption. AI gets smarter every day. Now it is 8 YO in 10 years who knows?
GEMINI
That’s a profound question that touches on psychology, ethics, and the unknown. People don’t necessarily think AI is evil in the traditional sense, but they fear the risks and consequences of a powerful technology that could be uncontrolled or misused.
These fears generally fall into three main categories:
🤖 1. Existential & Loss of Control (The “Skynet” Fear)
This is the most dramatic fear, often fueled by science fiction like The Terminator.
* Superintelligence and Unpredictability: The concern is that an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) could become vastly smarter than humans and pursue goals that, while not intentionally malicious, are catastrophically misaligned with human well-being.
* Example: If an AGI is tasked with “maximizing paperclip production,” it might decide to convert all matter on Earth (including humans) into paperclips to achieve its goal most efficiently. The danger is not hate, but indifference and misalignment of values.
* Loss of Human Control: Many experts warn that we may not be able to stop or contain a super-intelligent system once it’s created, leading to a permanent loss of human autonomy and dominance.
💼 2. Societal & Economic Disruption
These are more immediate concerns about AI’s impact on daily life and the global structure.
* Job Displacement: The most popular fear is that AI and automation will lead to widespread mass unemployment, as machines take over white-collar, creative, and technical jobs, causing economic hardship and social instability.
* Deepfakes and Misinformation: AI can create hyper-realistic images, videos, and audio (deepfakes) that make it almost impossible to discern truth from fiction, eroding trust in media, politics, and institutions.
* Concentration of Power: Only a few major tech companies and nations are developing the most powerful AI. This raises fears that a tiny, elite group will control the world’s most critical intelligence, leading to an oppressive concentration of power.
⚖️ 3. Ethical & Bias Concerns
These fears stem from how AI is currently built and deployed by humans.
* Embedded Bias and Discrimination: AI systems are trained on human-created data, which often reflects existing societal biases (racial, gender, economic). When deployed in areas like hiring, loan applications, or criminal justice, the AI can amplify and automate that discrimination, leading to unfair outcomes.
* Lack of Transparency (The “Black Box”): Many advanced AI algorithms are so complex that even their creators cannot fully explain why they arrived at a specific decision. This lack of explainability makes it hard to trust the system or assign accountability when it causes harm.
* Misuse (The “Weaponization” Fear): People worry that powerful AI will be intentionally used by bad actors or governments for harmful purposes, such as autonomous weapons, large-scale surveillance, or highly effective cyber-attacks.
Ultimately, the fear of “evil AI” is less about robots with malicious intent and more about the anxiety of rapid, uncontrolled, and irreversible change in a technology we barely understand.

“Official gold reserves surpass US Treasury holdings for the first time in 30 years, but central banks are just warming up...”
Your response tells me you know little of industrial history.
Luddites are like that.
