“Artificial Intelligence (AI) might be deployed to search, sort, and analyze the vast record “ this already exists, electronic litigation discovery software, it is unbiased, meant to process terabytes of data and deliver timelines, networks, patterns and relationships. Stop fooling around with avatars and preprogrammed chat bots and use what billion dollar cases use to organize the data.

AI isn’t intelligence. It’s about the inputs. Garbage in… Garbage out…

Chat GPT was also unhelpful.

The data has to be in a form AI can use. Electronic litigation discovery software can easily process terabytes of data depending on how large a team of coders are used.

To paraphrase a Monster named Joseph Stalin-

Its not what the AI says, its who's creating the AI that really matters.

Dear Jefferson "I Hate The CIA And Yuri Nosenko Was A True Defector!!!" Morley,

Perhaps you and Vladimir Putin should develop your own algorithms so this "problem" can be addressed.

OMFG!!! Garbage in, garbage out! The future is here and it's scary! The CIA is programming these AI robots, just like they've taken over Wikipedia!

artificial intelligence

artificial = feigned = counterfeit

Intelligence = the meaning of intelligence is the ability to learn and understand or to deal with new trying situation, to reason.

Therefore artificial intelligence should be considered an oxymoron by actual definition.

An oxymoron is a figure of speech that juxtaposes concepts with opposite meanings within a word or in a phrase that is a self-contradiction. As a rhetorical device, an oxymoron illustrates a point to communicate and reveal a paradox." Oxford dictionary

I would concur. However, I wonder whether Stalin ever weighed in on AI? "Marxist–Leninist policies implemented in the Soviet Union (USSR) from 1927 to 1953 by dictator Joseph Stalin."

AI is overkill for the JFKA. Getting what we already know into a good database would be more useful.

Posner was right, of course, when he said Oswald killed JFK. His big mistake was in befriending KGB false-defector Yuri "The KGB Had Nothing To Do With Oswald In The USSR" Nosenko while writing his book. We now know, thanks to Morley's "What Jane Roman Said" colleague, John M. Newman, that a KGB "mole" by the name of Bruce Solie in the CIA's mole-hunting Office of Security sent (or duped his confidant, protégé, and mole-hunting subordinate, James Angleton, into sending) Oswald to Moscow in 1959 as an ostensible "dangle" in a planned-to-fail hunt for "Popov's Mole" (Solie) in the wrong part of the CIA.

Thomas:

Are you the AI robot?

I prefer to think you are the Agency's new designated hitter, taking the place of the late lamented Photon.

But I knew Photon. He had some medical chops.

You, as Sinatra might say, "no gotta the chops."

Dear Edward,

1) "Are you the AI robot? I prefer to think you are the Agency's new designated hitter, taking the place of the late lamented Photon."

I'll take that as a compliment.

2) 'You, as Sinatra might say, 'no gotta the chops.'"

That's a suggestion I refuse to accept.

3) Regardless, it looks as though you've "caught" me, you rascal you -- I'm a reverse-psychology disinfo agent!

-- Tom

PS The last time I checked, the zombified-by-KGB* CIA was still claiming that your, Posner's and Morley's boy, Nosenko, was a true defector. I (and Tennent H. Bagley, John M. Newman and Malcolm Blunt), on the other hand, say he was fake.

You've heard of Newman and Blunt, right?

They're tinfoil-hat JFKA conspiracy theorists just like you and Comrade Morley!

*Today's SVR and FSB

I have read John Newman's books and agree with him.

As for Jeff Morley, he would never wear a tinfoil hat. He's a Yalie (class of '80), and would undoubtedly choose somthing from LL Bean or J Press.

If you've read Newman's 2022 book, "Uncovering Popov's Mole," you know that, contrary to what he wrote in the epilogue to the 2008 edition of "Oswald and the CIA," he now believes that it wasn't evil, evil, evil James Angleton who sent sharpshooting Oswald to Moscow in 1959, but a KGB "mole" by the name of Bruce Solie in CIA's mole-hunting Office of Security.

Morley wears a platinum-plated tinfoil hat due to the fact that he not only thinks the JFKA was an evil, evil, evil CIA conspiracy, but that Yuri "The KGB Had Nothing To Do With Oswald In The USSR" Nosenko was a true defector. For those two things alone, Vladimir Putin and his ilk cherish his Yalie Bulldog you-know-what.

The past is overrated and AI can be a Lone Nut Buff too.
