Here’s the damn truth: AI will give normal people superpowers. That’s what I keep telling nat’l security officials. Like any superhero movie, it will be terrible & **amazing** (force fields, mind reading, telekinesis)

Here are TEN ways this is going to happen …🧵 1. Telepathy: AI can already “view” thoughts in real-time in patients being observed with MRI. By analyzing brain signals and neural patterns, AI will be able to decode and interpret our thoughts — and predict what we might think next. science.org/content/articl…

The polls show @realDonaldTrump losing badly with women. He’d be doing worse if they saw the misogyny I witnessed inside the Trump Administration. *A short thread.* I’ll never forget how @realDonaldTrump frequently called his blonde, female Secretary of Homeland Security “sweetie” and “honey” rather than “Madam Secretary.”
