We keep asking what the next wave of technology will be. I think we underrate the possibility that the answer is "military technology".

That's inherently scary.https://t.co/nWQXJimcUU

In fact, I wrote a little about this before. It reminds me a little of the period between WW1 and WW2. That's not an encouraging comparison.https://t.co/XO9htOYUzx

Except wars of the future already fought at the ballot box, and with AI, deep fakes and what not, it will only get worse.

To paraphrase Stalin, it's not who votes but who counts.

Why is the GOP cherry picking which voting machine vendor to pick on? ES&S is larger than Dominion and is arguably more problematic, but Republicans want everyone to focus only on Dominion. My latest piece:

We palways prepare to fight the last war, not the aerobics class that's coming.

Boston Dynamics has released yet another video of its robots dancing that is equal parts impressive, creepy, and cringe https://t.co/RF5mQQhC0m pic.twitter.com/h9hDiEJK8X

Israel's war of spies (or was that Russia's? allegiances start to blend, and not in ways traditional antisemites think)

Rumored he betrayed over 1000 US agents in Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. All or most were executed. He compromised US's entire intelligence network. Why he has been in prison for 30 yrs. Intelligence community furious at the damage! Much more of a spy for Soviet Union.
