@petergleick At least in War Games the AI was smart enough to realize that in every scenario nuclear war means total loss for all sides.

These singularly idiotic motherfuckers want to connect the "glue is good on pizza" machines to military systems.

@distractal @petergleick gah I don't grok anyone that really tests these word shufflers would trust them for cooking. It doesn't take much testing w Gemini to realize it often won't adjust even when you point out errors.
