    I agree.

    I've been at this as a hobby since 1978 (TRS-80) and went pro in 1986.

    Prior to that, I studied logic, including Turing, starting in 1965.

    The "intelligent" part was "human-like."

    After a few years, the suppliers of AI who were looking for a cash cow realized that the "intelligent," component wasn't realistic.

    Instead of moving to "machine learning," the AI buzzword sold more artificial shit.

    I compare the misnomer to the 3.5" "floppy," that was as rigid as a goddam piece of cement.

    ... really. Can humans actually build the three laws of robotics into AI?

    The answer is, "No."

    Recall that AI is so primitive that it can't tell if the Sun comes up because the rooster crows, or the other way around.

    Amid rapid developments and nagging setbacks, one essential building block of human intelligence has eluded machines for decades: Understanding cause and effect. Put simply, today's machine-learning programs can't tell whether a crowing rooster makes the sun rise, or the other way around

    Chicken or egg ...

    The key (pun intended) is "current encryption."

    There are problems, particularly theoretical math, that quantum computers can't solve.

    Encryption will be moving in that direction.

    1.) No United States citizen has declared war against the United States.

    2.) The United States does not have a list of enemies. They thought about it, years back, but there were several problems:

    A.) Anybody doing business with an enemy would be guilty of treason.

    B.) No allies of the United States could do business with the enemies, either.

    C.) Anyone from a country on the enemy list, within United States borders or standing on United States territories, would be prisoners and would be either deported or incarcerated.

    D.) Other shit; some are obvious and others aren't.
