Again you ask me to compare incomparables.

More relevant is to compare trust in companies and trust in armies.  I trust the US army more than I trust the Chinese army or the Russian army.  Do you?  I trust POTUS more than I trust Putin or Xi.  Do you?  I don’t trust any of the AI companies.

That’s right.  You keep hammering on the same question, and I keep rejecting the premise.  You assume that two incomparables are comparable.  I insist they are not.  You also ignore your own rule against being boring.

We know, John.  You appear to be in the same camp with the guy this (likely AI generated) character is depicting.  We don’t know for sure if it is AI, but I must say, if so, it was cleverly done.  They got the sound part of it spot on.  The video is a little weird, but I wouldn’t be sure it is AI.  What do you think?
