Hi folks! This is Thinkwing Radio with Mike Honig; I’m Andrew Ferguson. In light of the (semi-)recent release of Grok, Twitter’s new generative text model, we thought it would be interesting to listen back to our April 19th show which features two articles about the future of this form of so-called “AI”. We’ll be back next week with our trademark analysis of new news you may have missed. Until then, enjoy!

The Guardian (UK): “How to bump Holocaust deniers off Google’s top spot? Pay Google”
The Holocaust did not happen. At least not in the world of Google, it seems. One week ago, I typed “did the hol” into a Google search box and clicked on its autocomplete suggestion, “Did the Holocaust happen?” And there, at the top of the list, was a link to Stormfront, a neo-Nazi white supremacist website and an article entitled “Top 10 reasons why the Holocaust didn’t happen”.
On Monday, Google confirmed it would not remove the result: “We are saddened to see that hate organisations still exist. The fact that hate sites appear in search results does not mean that Google endorses these views.”
The rest of the article can be found here:https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/dec/17/holocaust-deniers-google-search-top-spot?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

FOXNews isn’t … wrong? “Old Wounds Make It Hard for Some Chinese to Find Sympathy for Japanese Victims”
Having a Chinese wife, in-laws (who experienced Japanese wartime occupation and brutality personally) and friends, I have heard from several sources that the Chinese (citizens and ethnic) have donated less to the Japanese earthquake/tsunami/reactor disaster than they did to Haiti’s terrible earthquake tragedy. Far less. Both disasters were horrible human catastrophes, but ethnic Chinese have a much harder time working up sympathy for Japan.

Glenn Beck is fearful for America. And he’s right to be.
Commentary, 8/30/2010
by Mike Honig
Glenn Beck is fearful for America. And he’s right to be.
We are at a perilous point in our history. Politics are shrill. Demagogues are everywhere. Political advantage trumps truth. The “Big Lie” is the strategy of choice in some circles.
Most of you don’t know me well. How could you? I’m just a weekly voice on the radio. And that’s if you actually listen to me every week!
So I’ll share something with you about myself: I’m picky about words. Words are all we have when we want to communicate with each other. When words are used carelessly, meaning gets muddied. Continue reading
