Interesting tidbit from the NYT:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/22/us/politics/donald-trump-transition.html

quote:

Surprise: Trump doubled Romney’s Muslim vote.

As a candidate, Mr. Trump proposed ramping up surveillance of mosques and a moratorium on Muslim immigration, compelling to a surge in American Muslims registering to vote.

Surprisingly, a lot of them actually voted for Mr. Trump.

. . .

Some Muslims of Syrian descent voted for Mr. Trump, believing he would support President Bashar al-Assad of Syria. More broadly, there may have been a Sunni-Shiite split in the rust belt, where Shiites more generally favored Mr. Trump.

Congratulations, Don. Despite your valiant efforts to keep all things Muslim out of America, you have somehow managed to import Islamic sectarian discord into the Upper Midwest.

You read the Southern Reach trilogy by VanderMeer yet?

It's about a weird environmental catastrophe. Sort of.

Also Ambient by Jack Womack is ok but literally has President Trump and his son Barron.

ISIS and the militant group formerly known as JAN are happy as this is more proof that the Shia are actually self-hating crypto-Jews.

Wait so do you legit think that a terminator situation is more likely than us just building an AI that has emotions and a concept of itself. Because we can already make "learning" AI.

edit: What I'm saying is what motivation does an AI that we made have to wipe us out? An AI that can learn/feel emotion will probably end up a dumb anime nerd because he learned from a dumb nerd scientist

My therapist recently looked me dead in the eye and told me that the only thing we really need to worry about is the rise of Artificial Intelligence. He said that AI will almost certainly wipe out humanity moments after becoming conscious, and that it could happen any minute now.

Not exaggerating, he brought this up on his own with very little prompting.

Pretty much everyone is slipping into some form of apocalypticism now, even our professional class. I have an engineer friend who hasn't been sleeping right because he's so worried about peak oil.
