THOMAS SOWELL: My Experience With Artificial Intelligence.

Another target of this particular AI fraud is military historian Victor Davis Hanson. In addition to his profound scholarly writings on military history, Prof. Hanson has also spoken out strongly on many current and controversial issues.

Apparently those who do not agree with him cannot argue effectively against what he said. So they use AI to make him seem to be saying something different.

Political or ideological reasons for creating fraudulent imitations of people on the internet are not the only reasons. Some of the creators of these deceptive imitations have things to sell or donations to seek. These are the easiest imitations to tell are not mine.

My own website—FactsAgainstRhetoric.org—sells nothing and asks for no donations. It contains not only things that I have actually said, but also a great many things that others have said—on subjects ranging from affirmative action to medical issues, education issues and geographic influences.

This is a website set up in hopes of helping young people get an education, despite being in college.

Heh, indeed. Read the whole thing.™

AIRPORT PIRATES:

Okay @DataRepublican, and I did some general numbers on the SomaliFraud cash going through Minneapolis airport.

According to reports, over 2 years, they moved roughly $700MM through the airport.

That means (if they used $100 bills) they moved 7.7 metric tons of cash, and keep…

Here’s the interesting bit:

WHY Minneapolis?

Well, after some quick discussing with regular travelers of the MN airports.

The Somalis run the airport.
They’re the ground crews.
They’re the airport staff.
They’re friggin TSA.

We have an airport in the United States of America run by pirates.

The Minneapolis airport needs to be completely shut down until we can figure out what in the hell is going on.

JIM GERAGHTY: Trump’s Sudden Reversal on Iran.

To be fair, Iran’s mullahs are doing a fair job of imploding the nation all by themselves:

I cannot say with certainty that the Iranian regime will topple in the coming year. But I can say with certainty that this current Iranian regime will never be able to fix the country’s deepening economic problems. Earlier this week, Jason Malsin of the Wall Street Journal had a spectacularly reported account of how a bank collapse illuminated the deep-rooted destructive rot running throughout the country’s economy:

Late last year, Ayandeh Bank, run by regime cronies and saddled with nearly $5 billion in losses on a pile of bad loans, went bust. The government folded the carcass into a state bank and printed a massive amount of money to try to paper over all the red ink. That buried the problem but didn’t solve it.

Instead, the failure became both a symbol and an accelerant of an economic unraveling that ultimately triggered the proteststhat now pose the most significant threat to the regime since the founding of the Islamic Republic half a century ago. The bank’s collapse made clear that the Iranian financial system, under strain from years of sanctions, bad lending and reliance on inflationary printed money, had become increasingly insolvent and illiquid. Five other banks are thought to be similarly weak. . . .

The director of bank supervision at the Iranian central bank last year called Ayandeh “a Ponzi scheme.” For many Iranians, it was a symbol of a system whose few resources had been diverted to a well-connected few while they suffered.

The regime in Tehran is running out of money. And it’s not helping when every elite in Iran can see the cracks in the foundation widening and is trying to get every portable asset out of the country.

As Geraghty writes, “You don’t move tens of millions out of a country on a whim. You don’t fly planeloads of gold to Moscow unless you think there’s a good chance you’re going to lose it if you keep it in the country. The people within the regime and closest to the regime are moving their money out, risking its seizure. You only take that risk when you’ve concluded that keeping your money in the country is more dangerous.”
