What It Was Was "AI"

Update:  And now someone wants to comment about high priced sunscreens and rhinoplasty on that piece I wrote about Katha Pollitt using Laudato Si to slam religion.  Though maybe it's just trying to tell me that I've got a big nose.  

Call me suspicious but I doubt any human is so stupid they would try to put random and obscure commercial messages on four year old blog posts on an obscure blog that gets mostly hate mail the owner doesn't choose to post and who never posts those ad placements.  This has been going on for years, by now some human would have given up.  I think what this is, is that "artificial intelligence" that military nerds want to have "making decisions" about dropping bombs on people.  Clearly, such "intelligence" is incapable of effectively placing ads where someone will read them as some highly credentialed sci-guys and their bosses in military establishments want to trust them bombing combatants and not randomly "chosen" civilians. 


"Artificial intelligence" is a scientistic delusion though a belief in it might end up getting lots or maybe all of us killed. 


Update:  And now the mindless "intelligence" is trying to get me to post a line about exercise bands on the same piece.   And yet these are the machines and algorithms that we're being asked to allow the power of "decision making" on life or death issues,  to cut off from government services, access to credit, etc.   "Artificial intelligence" is a product of the gullibility of smart but not wise People with a financial and professional motive in believing their own bullshit.
