How stupid is Trump? (continued)

Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.

Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.

Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.

Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event

Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.

Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.

I'll lobby every Democrat in Congress to urge people not to vandalize the Reflecting Pool after just one Republican urges the President to find it in himself to give a **** about anyone beside himself, his friends and his donors. Cross my heart.

I can easily imagine the huge smile on Don Lemon's face as he typed those words.

DuckDuckGo's AI Feature Is Telling Users That Trump Died of Rabies Earlier This Month

https://tech.yahoo.com/ai/articles/duckduckgo-ai-feature-telling-users-165304483.html

According to DuckDuckGo's AI search feature, US President Donald Trump passed away earlier this month from rabies.

As the AI feature explains, Trump was apparently predeceased by Vice President JD Vance, who also died from the incurable virus. In fact, if you click the article it cites as evidence — which looks like it was published by a local West Virginia broadcaster called WKNA News, but more on that in a moment — the piece asserts that Trump got bit by Vance on purpose, acting on the advice of Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F Kennedy Jr, who advised that the deadly infection could confer "superpowers."

Needless to say, not a word of this is true. Trump and Vance are alive, and though RFK Jr has made numerous dubious health claims during his tenure in the government, he has never espoused the health benefits of rabies infections. (DuckDuckGo's AI also inexplicably cites an ABC News story about an Ohio man who died from rabies that makes no mention of Trump.)

Instead, what really appears to be happening is yet another cautionary tale about AI digesting incorrect information and parroting it back to users uncritically. Specifically, DuckDuckGo's AI feature seems to have gotten fooled by a game of telephone kicked off by internet pranksters and laundered into blatant misinformation on a leading search engine.

That clothing is anachronistic for 1868 as are the wigs – they would look more like this:

Trump is promoting “his” Freedom Fuel stations as proof that he is delivering on his promise of cheaper energy.
At the same time, he warns against government intervention of any kind.
Even though the project is officially intended to be privately run, it is de facto being promoted by the White House as a quasi-socialist government scheme.



In any case, the confusion surrounding this new form of American ‘petrol station communism’ is complete. After all, it remains unclear who is funding it.
