I Hope You’ve Got a Strong Stomach for This Drivel

Praise the heavens, there’s a new breed of ‘experts’ on the scene, musing about Artificial Intelligence. The Intellectual Jesters from MIT’s School of Engineering, Schwarzman College of Computing, and Sloan Executive Education have decided to take a break from their usual humdrum of nonsense to impart their gold-standard nonsense, now to national security leaders. They’re teaching them about savviness in AI fundamentals. We better start shedding tears of joy now.

So What, Einstein?

I guess these ‘geniuses’ believe the national security leaders are as lost as they are, and need some enlightening in AI basics. The implications? Hold your horses. Stern meetings with lots of pointless words! What fun. More importantly, brace yourselves as our security leaders are about to get confused with jargon they won’t understand straightaway. The intention is clear: sprinkle a bit of AI and cybersecurity jargon here and there, and appear smart. All while aging us regular folks a little quicker.

Preparing For What? Doom?

The reason given is ‘preparation for the future’. Does that future look so shiny and bright when these scholars of the tallest order are behind the wheels? I highly doubt. We can expect a boom in the curiosity of national security leaders about AI, and possibly a deterioration in the quality of AI discussions from heated political debates to slow-moving, incompetent arguments about these tecnho-babbles.

Remember, folks, if you’re about to do something for the first time – like these blowhards teaching AI to national security leaders – you’re likely to mess it up big time. Keep an eye out for the upcoming comedy of errors brought to you by MIT and their brainiac brigade. Bravo, eggheads… bravo!
