Many would say their intelligence is already artificial

Via Instapundit:

RANDALL PARKER: “As we design computer systems to make us do what their designers decided are the best behaviors from us we are effectively designing computer systems to manipulate us. I suspect that the first AIs deployed into widespread use will therefore possess enormous skills for manipulating humans.”

So the first AI will be politicians?

Leave my wife alone

Obama has publicized yet another weakness that the Republicans can use against him:

“But I do want to say this to the GOP. If they think that they’re going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful. Because that I find unacceptable,” he said.

Obama praised his wife’s patriotism and said that for Republicans “to try to distort or to play snippets of her remarks in ways that are unflattering to her I think is just low class … and especially for people who purport to be promoters of family values, who claim that they are protectors of the values and ideals and the decency of the American people to start attacking my wife in a political campaign I think is detestable.”

Obviously something there they don’t want getting out. But even if there is nothing there, Obama has hung a big red light over what would be a weakness. He doesn’t like anyone talking bad about his dumb ass wife.

I guess we will see Michelle Obama baking cookies next.
