If-then-else branching

Most of us have encountered if-then-else branch programming in the form of automated call handling.

They highlight one of the major weaknesses of Artificial Intelligence. The programmers can only program for events that can be anticipated and "expensive" (i.e. novel) system responses must be throttled by making them impossible to access or activate.

A note on the Com-China balloon

The message was intended for Taiwan. "Don't count on Biden or the US to defend the air-space surrounding and above your island."

  1. Hmm... ๐Ÿค” I did not think of that. There's probably multiple benefits for China in this event. And multiple messages...
    We are living in interesting times.

  3. Perhaps this is a 'trial' balloon? Next will be several balloons passing over the country at the same time. Then later, several more with a very definite spacing and onboard a surprise enclosed..

  4. Balloons are a threat? Time to read up on US military capabilities, I think.

  5. There were numerous goals for that incident. A message to Taiwan could be one of them. Assessing the level of incompetence and lunacy plaguing us would be another. Mapping the jet stream for future delivery of unpleasantness another. Regardless, it was a test. A test the US failed.z
