Biden forced to admit Laken Riley’s murderer in country illegally after liberal media asks about ‘politically incorrect’ term.

The liberal media confronted Joe Biden Friday after he went off-script during his State of the Union Address and referred to the suspect accused of killing Georgia college student Laken Riley as an “illegal.”

“Do you regret using the word ‘illegal’ to describe immigrants last night, sir?” a reporter asked.

“Well, I probably, uhhhh, I don’t regr—,” Biden stammered, before having to admit, “Uhhh, aghhh, technically he’s not supposed to be here…”

Biden’s bumbling response on his “politically incorrect” flub comes as he was criticized by Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on CNN for using the term – shorthand for “illegal alien” or “illegal immigrant” – which the left has attempted to sub out for “undocumented migrant.”

“Now he should have said ‘undocumented,’ but that’s not a big thing, ok? What’s the big thing?” Pelosi said, confused on the topic.

She went on to say, “Well, we usually say ‘undocumented.’ He said ‘illegal.’ I don’t think it’s a big deal. I don’t think it’s a big deal because I think his focus was on the sympathy for the family. It’s a terrible tragedy.’”

Evidently, it was a big thing on Pelosi’s mind, as CNN’s initial question had asked about the viral moment Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) forced Biden to utter the name “Laken Riley.”

Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student, was killed by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela on February 22 while jogging at the University of Georgia. Her suspected murderer had been caught by ICE in 2022 and “paroled and released for further processing.”

The deranged left is unsurprisingly skating past the issue of illegal immigrant crime and its impact on Americans and cutting straight to the heart of the issues that matter, like whether Biden regrets saying an offensive word.

The technological advance that it represents is nothing short of revolutionary and will have far-reaching implications for both the economy and society.

The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is here, and it is bound to change the world as we know it—or so proclaims the hype following the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT version 3.5 in November 2022, which was only the beginning. Indeed, much has happened since then with the release of the much-improved version 4.0, which was integrated into Microsoft’s Bing search engine, and the recent beta release of Google’s Gemini.

Lots has since been written about what AI could mean for humanity and society, from the positive extremes of soon-here Star Trek technologies and the “zero marginal cost” society to the supposedly imminent “AI takeover” that will cause mass unemployment or the enslavement (if not extermination) of mankind. However, how much of this is fiction, and what is real? In this three-part article series, I will briefly discuss the reality and fiction of AI, what it means for economics (and the economy), and what the real dangers and threats are. Is this the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning?

Most people’s prior experience of the term “artificial intelligence” is from science fiction books and movies. The AI in this type of media is a nonbiological conscious being—a machine man, of sorts. The intelligent machine is often portrayed as lacking certain human qualities such as empathy or ethics. However, it is also unencumbered by human limitations such as imperfect calculability and the lack of knowledge. Sometimes the AI is benign and a friend or even servant of mankind, such as the android Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation, but AI is often used to illuminate problems, tensions, or even an existential threat. Examples of such dystopian AI include Skynet in the Terminator movies, the machines in The Matrix, and HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

The “AI” in our present real-world hype, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, is nothing like these sci-fi “creatures”; they are nowhere near conscious beings. In fact, what we have today is so far from what we typically would call an intelligence that a new term has been invented to distinguish the “real thing” from the existing chatbots that are now referred to as “AI”: artificial general intelligence. The conscious, thinking, reasoning, and acting nonbiological creature-machines in sci-fi are artificial general intelligences. This raises the question: What is AI?

Machine Learning and Large Language Models

Present-day AI is an intelligence in the same sense as a library of books is. Both hold loads of information that are categorized in a number of different ways, such as by topic, keyword, author, and publisher. For the regular library, the books are categorized to help users find what they are looking for.

However, imagine if all the books in the library were scanned so that all the letters, words, sentences, and so on were stored together and easily searchable. This mass of content could then be categorized inductively, which means that computer software sifting through all the content would be able to figure out its own new categories based on the data themselves. What are common words and phrases? How are words combined, in what order, and in what contexts are those orders present? What phrases are more frequent in what types of books or chapters? What combinations of words are rare or do not exist? Are there differences between word use and sentence structure between authors, books, and topics?

Such inductive sifting through the content, guided by statistical algorithms, is referred to as “machine learning” and is a powerful tool to find valuable needles in informational haystacks. Note that these needles may not already be known—machine learning finds needles we know exist but can also uncover needles we had no idea existed. For example, using such techniques to go through medical data can find (and has found) correlations and potential causes of diseases that were previously unknown. Similarly, the Mercatus Center at George Mason University has fed regulatory texts through such machine learning algorithms to create RegData, a database that allows users to analyze, compare, and track regulatory burdens in the United States and beyond.

Whereas RegData is intended to support social science research on regulations, machine learning can be used on all kinds of information. When such algorithms are run on enormous amounts of text in order to figure out how language is used, it is called a large language model (LLM). These models thus capture a statistical “understanding” of how a language is used, or as Cambridge Dictionary puts it (explaining the generative pretrained transformer (GPT) LLM, on which ChatGPT is based), “a complex mathematical representation of text or other types of media that allows a computer to perform some tasks, such as interpreting and producing language, recognizing or creating images, and solving problems, in a way that seems similar to the way a human brain works.”

Indeed, based on its statistical understanding of language, an LLM chatbot can predictively generate text responses to questions and statements in a way that mimics a real conversation. It thereby gives the appearance of understanding questions and creating relevant responses; it can even “pretend” to have emotions and express empathy or gratitude based on how it understands that words can be used.

In other words, LLM chatbots like ChatGPT can arguably pass the Turing test as they make it very difficult for a human to distinguish their responses from a real human’s. Still, they are statistical prediction engines.

But Is AI Intelligent?

It is certainly an impressive feat to have software mimic human conversation to the point of tricking real humans into believing it is a person. However, the question of whether it is intelligent remains. To again refer to the Cambridge Dictionary, intelligence means “the ability to learn, understand, and make judgments or have opinions that are based on reason.” Whereas we sometimes use verbs like “learn” and “understand” for machines, they are figurative not literal uses. A pocket calculator does not “understand” mathematics just because it can present us with answers to mathematical questions or solve equations; it has not “learned” it; it also cannot “make judgments” or “have opinions.”

Certainly, AI is significantly more advanced than calculators. However, this does not take away from the fact that they are logically the same: both present results based on predetermined, prestructured, and precollected rules and data; neither of them has agency nor consciousness, and neither can create anything de novo. This is obvious for the calculator, which is comparatively stupid and only produces outputs according to simple rules of mathematics.

However, the same is true for AI. It is, of course, enormously more complex than a calculator and has the added ability to create its own categories and find relationships inductively, but it does not “have opinions that are based on [its own] reason.” It only predictively generates responses that, based on the texts that it has already processed, are statistically likely to be what a human would (or at least could) produce. This is why AI at times, despite the vast knowledge it has access to, spits out gobbledygook and has a hard time sticking to what is true. It simply cannot tell the difference. (It cannot “tell” at all.)

In other words, AI is logically speaking the very opposite of what we would expect from a human (or alien or artificial) intelligence: it is backward-looking, makes up responses based on already existing language data, and does not add anything that is not statistically (re)producible from past information. It also does not fail, flounder, or forget, and it lacks subjectivity.

An actual intelligence would of course rely on experience too, but it would have the ability to generate novel content and implications. It would be able to think anew and creatively come up with different conclusions based on the same data—an actual intelligence would forget valuable pieces of information, make errors, and use faulty inferences, and it would subjectively weigh and interpret facts—or to choose to disregard the data.

However, even though AI is arguably not an intelligence—at least not in the sci-fi sense—it does not mean that it is unimportant or lacks implications. The technological advance that it represents is nothing short of revolutionary and will have far-reaching implications for both the economy and society.

Racist left-wing policies appear to be making air travel less safe

Over the past five days, five separate public airplanes have put passengers through horrifying scares across America.

Footage out of Houston, Texas shows passengers exiting a United Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8 on Friday after it suffered a landing gear failure and strayed from the runway.

No injuries or deaths have been reported in association with the debacle, which took place at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

On Thursday, a flight taking off from San Francisco, California, lost a wheel that was launched into a group of vehicles. 

“The tire fell several hundred feet and then crushed vehicles in a parking lot at San Francisco International Airport,” ZeroHedge reports.

On Monday, another United Airlines Boeing airplane malfunctioned when one of its engines erupted in flames and caused the plane to nosedive straight down before making an emergency landing.

That mid-flight nightmare also took place at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

On Thursday evening, an American Airlines Boeing 777-200ER backed into a Frontier Airlines flight and clipped its wing, causing both flights to be delayed at the Miami International Airport.

The terrifying incidents come just two weeks after Boeing’s commercial marketing managing director for the Asia-Pacific region called the 737 Max passenger airliner “the safest airplane” on the market.

X users also pointed out that all three airline companies involved in the accidents are pushing “Diversity, Equity & Inclusion” (DEI) on employees.

DEI has become known as “DIE” because many Americans have noticed an uptick in these dangerous incidents ever since the airlines started hiring people based on gender and race instead of who is the most qualified candidate.

The airline industry isn’t the only place where DEI is wreaking havoc as the leftist identity cult pushes for the divisive rhetoric to be implemented in all fields.

‘It’s time for us to say enough is enough,’ says Independent presidential candidate.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. responded to Democrat Joe Biden’s divisive State of the Union Thursday with a message promoting unity and a return to the values that once made America a beacon of hope and liberty for the rest of the world.

RFK’s epic message slammed America’s descent into a third-world nation where poverty and crime run rampant, while acknowledging the US was once a land of innovation and wealth that was viewed by other countries with respect.

Here are the top 21 issues noted by RFK in his message, courtesy of VigilantNews.com:

#1 – “We’ve become a nation of chronic illness, of violence, of loneliness, depression, and division and poverty.”

• URGENT! Keep Alex Jones in the fight against the NWO! Please pray & contribute at DefendJones.com today!

#2 – “Our great cities are becoming tent encampments.”

#3 – “Modern-day Hooverville is filled with undocumented immigrants and dispossessed Americans and people living in their cars, plagued by mental illness and addiction and despair.”

#4 – “Our border has come under the control of criminal drug cartels that traffic in desolation and fentanyl — and in busloads of desperate human beings.”

#5 – “Our children are drowning in a crisis of alienation, of dispossession, and complete disconnection from their communities.”

#6 – “We’ve lost far more of our young people to drugs in the last decade than in the 20-year Vietnam war.”

#7 – “We’ve printed nine centuries’ worth of money in a little over a decade and spent $8 trillion on regime change wars. Those wars have made America less safe, our country less strong, and the world far less stable, while sending prices through the roof.”

#8 – “As our infrastructure falls apart, tens of millions of young Americans no longer even dream of owning their own home.”

#9 – “All the new wealth of the last generation has gone to the billionaires and to transnational corporations while our tattered middle class, our infrastructure, our industry, have been hollowed out from the inside.”

#10 – “The public debt has gone from about $5 trillion under President George W. Bush to $34 trillion today.”

#11 – “US household debt is at a record high of $17.3 trillion.”

#12 – “Our true unemployment rate is 23%.”

#13 – “Young parents face housing, grocery and childcare costs that are unaffordable.”

#14 – “Too many Americans are living bleak and hopeless lives.”

#15 – “We rank 40th globally in our people’s health and wellness.”

#16 – “Out of the richest countries in the world, the United States is 35th in child poverty rates.”

#17 – “We rank 36th in literacy and 45th in press freedom.”

#18 – “We have one of the highest cancer rates in the world, and our life expectancy now ranks 59th, according to the World Bank.”

#19 – “We now have the worst health outcomes in the rich world, the highest maternal mortality rates, the highest number of gun deaths per capita, and the highest number of teen pregnancies.”

#20 – “According to CDC, 60% of Americans have at least one chronic condition. When my uncle was president, only 6% of Americans had chronic disease.”

#21 – “And all of these plights fall heaviest on our young people:

• Four in ten of them suffer from depression.

• Half of them have considered suicide.

• One in ten has anxiety.

• One in ten has ADHD.

• One in five is obese.

Read a transcript of RFK’s message below:

I’m Robert F. Kennedy Jr and I’m running as an independent candidate for president of the United States.

I grew up in an America that seemed to have achieved its promise as an exemplary nation. Modern democracy had spread from one nation, ours, in 1776 to six by 1865 and to 190 by the 1960s. We had become the city on the hill, we were a moral authority around the globe. Our government institutions, our Congress, the court, the regulatory agencies and even the American Press were renowned for their integrity and they were revered worldwide. Other nations wanted our American leadership, they knew the difference between leadership and bullying, which is something our current leaders seem to have forgotten.

We were the template of Liberty, proof that for a country to thrive its people must be free: free to speak, free to worship, free to build great companies, free to start small businesses. We were the freest country in the world and by no coincidence also the most prosperous. Working Americans could provide for their families on a single salary, they could buy a home, raise a family, save for retirement without mountains of debt. We made the best music, we made the best movies, we made gold standard automobiles that everybody in the world wanted, we made blue jeans, we reconstructed Europe, we put men on the moon. We had the world’s healthiest, best educated children. Our productivity, ingenuity, our can-do Spirit where the Envy of the world. We had confidence in our strength, our capacity, and the limitless potential of our country. Yeah, we had serious racial and environmental problems, but in the hey days of my youth, the environmental movement and the Civil Rights Movement were picking up steam. My father and some of his allies were fighting to eliminate the last pockets of hunger in Appalachia, in the Mississippi Delta, and on the Indian reservations, and we became, for the first time, a true constitutional democracy in this country with all Races voting and holding political office. Other countries aspired to be like us and our children grew up proud of their passport, proud of their flag.

My uncle President Kennedy left us a legacy of peace and the hope of ending the arms race and winding down the Cold War. Those were the traditions of freedom, prosperity, and peace that my father, my uncle, and Martin Luther King, Jr. were striving to protect in advance.

In the half century since their deaths, we’ve lost touch with that vision for our country.

I want to tell you right now that we can still restore that America, the America that almost was and yet may be, but we have to start by being honest with ourselves. Neither my uncle nor my father would recognize the version of America that we have today. We’ve become a nation of chronic illness, of violence, of loneliness, depression, and division, and poverty. Our great cities are becoming tent encampments, modern-day Hoovervilles filled with undocumented immigrants and dispossessed Americans and people living in their cars plagued by mental illness and addiction and despair. Our border has come under the control of criminal drug cartels that traffic in desolation and fentanyl and in busloads of desperate human beings. Our children are drowning in a crisis of alienation, of dispossession, and complete disconnection from their communities.

We’ve lost far more of our young people to drugs in the last decade than in the 20-year Vietnam War. We’ve printed nine centuries worth of money in a little over a decade and spent $8 trillion dollars on regime change wars. Those wars have made America less safe, our country less strong, and the world far less stable, while sending prices through the roof as our infrastructure falls apart. Tens of millions of young Americans no longer even dream of owning their own home. What happened to America, the land of opportunity, where you could be sure that if you worked hard and played by the rules that you would have a decent life? All the new wealth of the last generation has gone to the billionaires and to transnational corporations while our tattered middle class, our infrastructure, our industry have been hollowed out from the inside. Instead of promise, we’ve left our kids sick and drowning in debt. The public debt has gone from about $5 trillion under President George W. Bush to $34 trillion today and US household debt is at a record high of $17.3 trillion. If you include discouraged workers, our true unemployment rate is 23%. Young parents face housing, grocery, and child care costs that are unaffordable. Too many Americans are living bleak and hopeless lives, dreading the one medical emergency or the car repair that will tip them over the edge into homelessness.

We ranked 40th globally in our people’s health and wellness. Out of the richest countries in the world, the United States is 35th in child poverty rates, just above Mexico. We rank 36 in literacy and 45th in press freedom. We have one of the highest cancer rates in the world and our life expectancy now ranks 59th according to the World Bank – that’s right behind Algeria, which spends less than one-thirtieth per capita of what we spend. But even these grim figures hide the full picture of our dire health crisis. We now have the worst health outcomes in the rich world, the highest maternal mortality rates, the highest number of gun deaths per capita, and the highest number of teen pregnancies. We lead the world in obesity and chronic disease. According to CDC, 60% of Americans have at least one chronic condition. When my uncle was president only 6% of Americans had chronic disease. And all of these plights fall heaviest on our young people. Four in 10 of them suffer depression and half of them have considered suicide, one in 10 has anxiety, one in 10 has ADHD, one in five is obese.

It’s time for us to say enough is enough.

We were once a free and thriving nation, the healthiest and strongest in the world. What we once were, we can be again. How do I know that? It’s because everywhere I go in this country, I see a profound determination among Americans to heal. We might have become the sickest country on Earth, but we also have the most ingenious healers both inside and outside conventional medicine. We may have sky high levels of depression and addiction, but we also have innovators who have opened up new frontiers in recovery. We have some of the world’s most depleted agricultural soils, but also some of the world’s most innovative and energetic regenerative farmers. We have serious economic problems, but we also have the brightest and most ambitious entrepreneurs. We face hunger and homelessness and yet we meet it with the highest philanthropic rates in the world and bottomless kindness and compassion. We may be on the mat today, but we can be on our feet and happy and healthy and strong again with good leadership tomorrow. Our people and our system were built for resilience and here’s the most important thing I want to tell you about the State of our Union:

Our nation seems more divided than ever but Americans everywhere want to heal that divide. Our nation has become artificially divided by political forces that can survive only when We the People are at war with each other. People are tired of being manipulated by fear. We learned that lesson during COVID, we recognize that the same techniques of manipulating fear are being used by elites today to corral us into voting for one political candidate or the other. Americans are tired of these dire warnings that to preserve democracy itself, you better vote for our guy. I can tell you that in every state of this Union, people are rejecting fear mongering. 80% of Americans say they don’t want to be forced to choose in this election between the lesser of two evils. They’re tired of voting against something or someone. I see it in the crowds of mixed Republicans and Democrats and Independents who attend my rallies, that a growing number of Americans are rejecting divisiveness. They’re ready to unite, to rebuild this country and to fulfill the promise of the America of my youth. They’re ready to vote for something and for someone they like, for someone who represents hope and healing, for someone with an inspiring vision for America’s future, for a future that they can believe in.

So that’s the State of the Union that I want to bring you today. It’s a nation that hungers to heal, it’s a nation ready to face reality, to rebuild, to end the forever foreign wars, to clean out the corrupt Washington establishment, and to turn again toward peace, freedom, good health, and prosperity. When we unite in that vision, we’re going to be unstoppable. Thank you, and God bless you.
