What about the Midterm election? It seems that the topic of daily discussion is all about AI and the midterm elections. So, I decided to ask my AI program to do some research and give me its opinion on how this midterm election may turn out. The first time I asked this question I didn’t […]
BOISE, ID—Attorney General Raúl Labrador today announced a lawsuit against OpenAI for harms caused to Idaho children, deceiving parents, and violations of the Idaho Consumer Protection Act. The Idaho Consumer Protection Act prohibits false, deceptive, or misleading representations, as well as deceptive advertising, pricing, or contracts. The action against OpenAI was filed in Idaho’s Fourth […]
Where did it all start? Computers, data collection, data storage, artificial intelligence data analysis, advanced data collection technology, interoperability for sharing data between computers, data centers to store more data. With such “investments“ by the government in these new technologies the government now has to take action to protect all of it. Now that the […]
AI will be the Savior of America’s economy, not the Destroyer The billions of investment dollars pouring into American AI are by far the largest peacetime capital mobilization in America’s history or the 4th industrial revolution. Although the payoff isn’t guaranteed the setup is real and all of the pieces are in place for this […]
Just as Covid-19 was used as justification to usher in the Great Reset, with vaccines, masks, and isolation rescuing everyone from the virus’s carnage, it appears the trajectory is still on track. As America began disintegrating post Covid-19, attention was only paid to Executive Orders (EO) that rescued Americans and the Constitution from that carnage […]
Who Will Pay for the Power Upgrade? A conservative doesn’t oppose growth. But a conservative does insist that the people who build private facilities pay their own way instead of handing the bill to the grandma down the road. Drive past Kuna and you can see the future being poured in concrete. Meta is building […]
The core conservative argument is economic and geopolitical. The American Enterprise Institute’s work frames AI primarily as a growth engine. In their analysis of whether AI could cause “explosive” economic growth, scholars like Tamay Besiroglu put meaningful odds-on AI dramatically raising productivity potentially many times the roughly 2% annual growth the U.S. has averaged for […]
Three subjects anchor this episode: the Proposition 1 abortion measure on Idaho’s November ballot, a Charlie Kirk memorial held on the Capitol steps, and a working economics lesson on whether new technology destroys jobs. On Proposition 1, the episode makes the case that the measure would push Idaho’s abortion law past where it stood before […]
Driving the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR), “a fundamental change in the way we live, work and relate to one another”, is artificial intelligence (AI). AI is the foundation of 4IR. In this WEF panel discussion video, Generative AI is discussed as The Steam Engine of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The discussion includes […]
As everyone is relentlessly distracted by the daily chaotic events, the movement towards a digital control grid continues to silently be put into place. The Internet of Things (IoT) is essential for feeding the beast known as the artificial intelligence agent (AI Agent) which replaces human problem solving. However, IoT is really a conglomerate of […]
Last week, we talked about China’s AI ambitions and the catastrophic scenario if America loses the AI race. Today, I want to shift focus and talk about what AI means to America. Most people have heard of Adam Smith, even if they haven’t read him. He’s the Scottish economist who gave us the concept of […]
Last week, I talked about the objection to data centers is really about objecting to AI. To understand why American AI leadership matters, you need to understand why China is pursuing AI with such urgency — and what they intend to do with it. China has a serious demographic problem. Decades of the one-child policy […]
