Video reminds humble me of how Trump was unprepared for his First Term in Office. Have heard most of the excuses for his poor performance back then — but not that he may have been in the Pupa stage. 😉
President Trump was obviously never a Boy Scout. Even the newest ‘n youngest of Boy Scouts know to always be prepared. In fact, the Boy Scout Motto is – Be Prepared!
ChatGPT – What kind of person doesn’t prepare for a new Job?
People have different approaches to starting a new job, and not everyone prepares in the same way—or at all. This could be due to a variety of reasons, like:
1. Overconfidence: They may feel they already know everything they need and believe they can “wing it” based on past experiences.
2. Lack of Awareness: They might not realize the importance of preparation or assume it’s not expected.
3. Procrastination: Some people put off preparing until it’s too late.
4. External Factors: Life might get in the way—personal issues, time constraints, or unexpected responsibilities.
5. Nervousness or Avoidance: They might feel overwhelmed by the new role and avoid preparation as a way of coping.
6. Unclear Expectations: If the employer hasn’t communicated expectations clearly, they might not know how to prepare.
Trump fell under some of those listed reasons in 2016/2017, but I believe it was his Ego that told him he didn’t need to be prepared.
ChatGPT – What kind of person doesn’t prepare for his/her new President of America Job?
Oof, that’s a loaded one! Someone who doesn’t prepare for the presidency of the United States might fall into a few categories—or a mix of them. It’s a job where preparation isn’t just recommended; it’s essential. Here are some potential traits of someone who wouldn’t prepare:
I skipped listing the “potential traits” since they would be nothing more than excuses—coming after Oof, and I’ve heard a “variety of reasons” and “potential traits” used as excuses—most all simply trying to shift the 2017-2021 Chaos of Trump’s unpreparedness during his first term to others and/or ‘Thangs.
Pathetic excuses (being in the Pupa stage is better)—especially after seeing what President Trump (now transformed into a Butterfly…so to speak) has accomplished in a week or less whilst being prepared. I know we have had discussions on this before—and don’t care to dwell a lot on the past, but Trump helped to put this Nation thru much chaos, angst, hate, stress, having many lives destroyed, etcetera over the past 8+ years__by not being prepared to do the job of President of America!?
He is going…well, have said enough, but I feel he owes this Nation 4-years of excellence and/or ‘Such’!
Everyone seems to be panicking over the new Chinese developed LLM called “deepseek”. It appears to have a pretty significant leg up in terms of training and fine tuning speeds compared to all the other big AI LLMs. It also impliments visable “reasoning” chains allowing you to see how it works through answers to prompts sort of. Here’s a pretty good video showing some examples.
Hi Neo, this morning I did notice many “429 Too Many Requests” errors trying to load up your site – first time I’ve gotten an actual error response code.
Hope you’re safe from the massive earthquake — I actually just left York Harbor Saturday afternoon so I bet it’s somehow my fault.
Karmi, thank you for your wonderful insights.
I too got the same error message the first time I tried the site this morning.
I’ve been trying out DeepSeek and comparing it with 2 other AI systems, Grok and Perplexity.
#1…AI as literary critic. I asked them all for analysis of John Skelton’s poem ‘Mannerly Margery Milk and Ale’. DeepSeek got very confused and started bringing in references to some other poem. The other two did OK but not stellar.
#2…As railroad dispatcher…a problem involving multiple trains on a single-track line. DeepSeek’s analysis looked very impressive, but looking at it more closely, I saw that it had two opposite-direction trains passing each other…explained to it the meaning of ‘single track’…it fixed that problem, but got a simple time-and-distance problem wrong. The other two didn’t cover themselves with glory on this task, either.
I may link these at Chicago Boyz.
Interest insight to the DEI scam.
Real Reason White Lefties Are Panicking
“What if I told you that the primary beneficiaries of DEI were white progressive women, and the loss of their cushy, bossy, “bulls**t” jobs is the real reason for all the panic?”
Some statistics
54.5% of chief diversity, officers are women. And there are Only two sexes.
For years a friend has been a firm believer that much of the Dem agenda is to ensure cushy jobs for their unremarkable offspring.
The problem was trump couldnt imagine the level of crime and corruption that would be engaged in by all parties
The design and release of covid was perhaps the worse i guess to top that they could nuke a few cities
DAVID FOSTER, one problem with AI is that it has no survival instinct and probably can’t be trained to have one.
It is very good at following rules. The self-driving car will always be in the correct lane, at the right speed, and will stop properly at lights. How do you teach it to deal with the human drivers who speed, follow too closely, cut you off, make un-signaled lane changes, run red lights, and other violations of the rules of the road. Humans have a sense of survival when danger arises because of drivers who bend ort break the rules. There are so many instances of situations where one must act instinctively to avoid a collision. That can’t be taught to AI.
Self-driving cars would be okay if all cars were self-driving because they would all be following the rules perfectly.
IMO, AI is mostly useful for aggregating/analyzing huge masses of data and performing repetitive work that requires little or no judgment.
I find ChatGPT to be a pain in the butt. Every time I want to research something ChatGPT wants to take over. I find it intrusive and time wasting because ChatGPT seldom get me the info I want.
Yes, I’m an old curmudgeon yelling at ChatGPT to get off my lawn.
I have no negative issues with AIs…they’re here permanently now, so it wouldn’t do me any good if I did.
Right now – I test them and use them as search engines. My search time has been cut by…by…75-80% as an estimate, and possibly more. Grok is my favorite, then ChatGPT with Bing/Copilot @ #3.
Andrea Widburg has a screen shot of a hilarious post from an (alleged) long-time OPM staffer.
I’ve been an OPM employee for nearly a decade and a Federal Employee for almost 20 years. I’ve never witnessed anything even remotely close to what’s happening right now. In short, there’s a hostile takeover of the federal civil service….The very backbone of American Government, the HR of all HR in the U.S. Government has been taken over by outside politicals….We think they’re building a massive email list of all federal employees to generate mass RIF [reduction in force] notices down the road.

25 years ago, the kind of voice recognition that is commonplace today would have been considered AI, as would language translation offered by Google Translate.
Automation is not new, and neither are automation panics. I wrote a 3-part history post in this topic several years ago:
There was pushback against sound film–the ‘talkies’–on the grounds that they were destroy jobs in local movie house orchestra, and major PR campaign was mounted in an attempt to convince the public that ‘living music’ was better than ‘canned sound.’
A 1925 booklet on Unemployment and the Machine warned that unless the country went to a six-hour day, there would be “no limits to the unemployment of the future.” The image on the booklet cover showed huge mechanical hands pushing humans off a cliff into an “unemployment dump.”
Miguel:
Others blame President Trump for not being prepared for the criminality (Dems), betrayal (RINOs), and treason (General White Rage Milley and the Intelligence Community).
But even without punctuation you have recognized and elucidated those salient facts.
Per a discussion recently: I got an error warning threat from ESET on that link, although I have had no problem accessing other posts from CB.
I think there is a particular segment of your archive that is being blocked.
You could try some benchmarking to see what sequence numbers are the end-points of the “dangerous” section.
I have no idea what would have triggered some kind of “black ball” around part of the site, or even just your columns; don’t know enough about security programs or web-site organization.
Were you on the Government’s naughty list, like other pundits were?
About that Government naughty list: Tucker Carlson interviews Matt Taibbi, most recently of Twitter Files fame but he has been doing good investigative reporting for a long time, and is one of the few on the left who is willing to go deep into what “his side” is doing, especially if it is wrong. IOW, a classic liberal democrat from the sixties with ethics.
