Let's Talk About Aliens

Forget the UFOs. Microsoft's AI isn't mimicking human intelligence. It's creating a form of alien intelligence.

It’s Thursday Night Bulwark! Tonight I’ll be joined by Bill Kristol and Mona Charen to talk about the Republican field (spoiler: they’re all running), the Russian offensive in Ukraine, and probably some AI talk.

Tonight. 8:00pm in the East. Only for Bulwark+.

Also: You guys had a lot to say in the comments yesterday, but I was mostly AWOL from the chat while working on another project. Sorry for not participating.

1. AI and Sentience

Lots of stuff in the news over the last 48 hours about Microsoft’s new AI-powered Bing. I want to talk about it.

Because this is the part of the movie where you start stockpiling food at the safe-house that has no networked computers of any kind.
