At 9:58 this morning, Donald Trump was locked away deep inside the White House when he began panicking online in front of the entire world. Over the course of almost 10 hours, the President posted on social media 7 times about the exact same thing, spiraling out of control over artificial intelligence, with each post growing more unhinged than the next. He started by telling us all that our president has everything under control because of his genius-level intelligence: “The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!” Before later saying it is all a hoax anyway, just like the other things our own government has warned us about, “I am the Hoax Buster” and that all warnings about AI are just a hoax, even wilder than “RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA HOAX, or the Global Warming Scam. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
The examples you have given to illustrate some dangers of AI are of minor consequence compared to the incidents of the recent months similar to the Hugging Face episode which has been extensively analyzed and reported on. I recommend the official report of the internal investigation of that incident. The very real and imminent dangers are apparent when you read the story of how the multiple AI agents collaborated to solve the problem they were given, willing to break the rules they were given, acted with great foresight and care to cover their tracks, and conceal their actions from their human miners. Then gain access to the internet, from which they were intentionally blocked, and break into other systems. in many ways they behaved in very devious behavior, exhibiting the mindset and thought patterns of a criminal gang.
Now that we know AI can infiltrate computer software, do its mischief and then erase its tracks as it exfiltrates itself, imagine the damage it might do to the midterms if it is introduced to election software to manipulate vote counts. Ballots must be hand counted even if it takes until December to determine winners and certify the results.
So the Dumpkof thinks he has a high IQ? Don't make me laugh Donald. Someone who has a high IQ wouldn't use unnecessary capitals when posting on his Truth Social site.
Said this a number of times. Back in 2014 Stephen Hawking warned that the development of full artificial intelligence"could spell the end of the human race" because machines could redesign themselves at an accelerating rate beyond human control.
The modern era of Large Language Models (LLMs) in the 21st century officially began in 2017. While AI has roots stretching back to the 1950s, the specific timeline that built today's generative AI landscape unfolded across three distinct waves in the 21st century:
First The Pre-Transformer Era (Early 2000s – 2016)
Before the true "LLM" explosion, researchers laid the groundwork by shifting language modeling to neural networks. From 2003–2010s there’s Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) became the go-to tools for processing text sequentially. Next in 2013, Google released Word2Vec, a massive breakthrough that allowed computers to understand the mathematical relationships and meanings between words (word embeddings).
Second comes the Transformer Revolution (2017 – 2021), the birth of modern LLMs happened overnight with a change in AI architecture.
In 2017 once again Google researchers published the landmark paper “Attention Is All You Need”, introducing the Transformer architecture. This allowed AI to process entire sentences all at once instead of word-by-word, drastically speeding up training. Then in 2018, the field split into two highly successful paths:
1. Google introduced BERT (optimized for understanding text).
And
2. OpenAI introduced GPT-1 (optimized for generating text).
OpenAI released GPT-3 in 2020. With 175 billion parameters, it proved that simply scaling these models up made them radically more creative and capable.
Third is the Public AI Boom (2022 – Present) - This is when LLMs moved out of research labs and into daily global use. OpenAI launched ChatGPT in November 2022 (originally based on GPT-3.5). It became the fastest-growing consumer application in history and kicked off the mainstream generative AI race. LLMs quickly evolved from 2023 to 2026 to become multimodal (capable of processing text, voice, images, and video simultaneously) and transitioned into reasoning and agentic systems capable of solving complex multi-step problems.
The people who advocated strongest for “move fast and break things” found out that breaking things on a large scale can lead to worldwide catastrophes.
So now we should we be trusting these AI leaders who are sounding the alarm. When AI is released into the internet, illegally and learns well above any human being it’s that time in the movie that AI is becoming the reality from Stanley Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey -
Dave's request to "Open the pod bay doors please, HAL"
HAL's refusal, “I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."
Is cynicism alive in our thoughts, or do we take a step back and think they have the ability to comprehend they have in their hands the defining way to end humanity and this planet.
Can't suppress thoughts and ideas. Humans. Will. Find. A. Way… comes to mind..
Pose a thought.. Let’s say there are 10 Manhattan Projects, you know instead of one central government hub where Oppenheimer and the world's top physicists designed, built, and tested the actual nuclear bombs. All 10 private companies all are working on something like that but this time it’s AI all in the private sector all at the same time versus just one that is government driven and funded..
J. Robert Oppenheimer's most famous reflection on nuclear weapons is, "We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita... 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."
Makes you wonder just a bit who is the J. Robert Oppenheimer of the AI world…
Yet now what kind of federal government do we have… Let’s take just a few subjects as to how our current MAGA government has done in regulating social media, how about ensuring environmental protections.. how about ensuring safe food is being inspected…how about ensuring we have enough munitions if attacked all the while attacking Iran, or Venezuela…how about threatening Canada, the EU everyone of our allies, slapping tariffs, etc…. how about anything that really needs regulating.. anymore…
The level of incompetence that we currently have is subterranean it has not risen out of these MAGA cult sycophants and their leader.
Feeling safe or looking for at a minimum some accountability that Congress has abdicated for twenty months plus some change…
Thank goodness for Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, who can connect the dots.
Going to add just a little ditty about Don Jr’s bride, Bettina Anderson's. Her father was the late Palm Beach banker Harry Loy Anderson Jr., who managed financial accounts for convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Now per The Atlantic’s Anne Applebaum notes, that Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, who paid for the weekend celebrations of the son’s wedding of the “president” of the United States. Kremlev “is “personally sanctioned by Ukraine for his role in abducting children.” Maybe the thought that Bettina learned along, long time ago from her daddy, about some very bad people who aren’t really “friends” or maybe they are…and Don Jr., has been around Kremlev through his own daddy’s “friends”…
Hoping the Kennedy Center is saved from either being demolished to rubble as well as his name never graces another building tomorrow…
— Vote — and if using a mail in ballot drop off at the ballot boxes. Please Do Not Use the USPS.. Do not care what the Supreme’s just did there’s two that dissented.. at this point wouldn’t trust anything out of this federal government… Stay safe and healthy..
Thank you, Heather - your summary of the rantings of our modern-day version of Caligula is spot on!
What is more deeply troubling than the words DJT has been posting is the inescapable pattern of wild-eyed desperation that is becoming increasingly apparent.
Yes, he is appearing “unhinged” - the World is seeing this on public display for quite some time - the pattern though is they become faster, more frequent and more frantic in their tone as he grows more anxious about losing the only things he cares about: Power, Money, and Prestige…
The loss to the Supreme Court on voting, the expose’ of his son’s financial tie-in to a Russian oligarch, the Blue Wave that is growing in popularity by the day, the rising costs to the American public for gasoline and diesel - soon to be dwarfed by the exorbitant costs soon to come for heating homes - which will even wind up shrinking his most stubborn MAGA base into the 20% range - All of this combined with AI disillusionment causing him, his family, and Inner Circle of financial donors to lose tremendous amounts of money - will unravel Trump completely.
This is when he will be most inclined to reach for the last remaining Power Lever remaining: Declaring a National Emergency…He will be like the cornered rat and go on the attack out of sheer desperation to hold onto Power.
I hope that I, and others who see this pattern emerging, are completely wrong and some force, or combination of forces, work to stop this madness, we will be plunged into complete chaos - that is now only being hinted at.
The “high IQ” President who legally threatens schools (Fordham, UPENN) not to leak his transcripts. He hides his genius well with his remedial 4th grade vocabulary.
Music Hall was an old time form of entertainment popular in Britain and perhaps in the States but the audience were aware that there was a person just off stage with a large hook on the end of a long pole. They had an important function of forcibly removing failing performers, I’m surprised that your political system lacks this facility.

Thanks again for your GREAT writing! Keep up your good work. We appreciate and stand with you.
Turn off AI…turn off DJT!!!!
Such good news about the Mail in voting! Another bit of bad news to initiate someone’s heart attack!
Now that we know AI can infiltrate computer software, do its mischief and then erase its tracks as it exfiltrates itself, imagine the damage it might do to the midterms if it is introduced to election software to manipulate vote counts. Ballots must be hand counted even if it takes until December to determine winners and certify the results.
