The main thing that AI has shown, is how much bullshit we subconsciously filter through every day without much effort. (Although clearly some people struggle a lot more with distinguishing between bullshit and fact, considering how much politicized nonsense has taken hold.)

I can live with that.

No MUDs? That’s what I used telnet for.

What web? Gopher and FTP.

Unacceptable. I want to be able to telnet.

Trump is already partially on the other side of that war. Waging war on the US on behalf of Russia would fit right in.

I agree. I know it’s an unthinkable taboo. Civilian leadership has to be in charge of military leadership. But as has been pointed out many times, their loyalty is to the US and the Constitution, not any president. And the oath is to protect the US against enemies foreign and domestic. If Trump really wants to use the military against US citizens, he’s putting the military in an impossible situation.
