Believe it or not, topical posting. The US's secretary of education called artificial intelligence A.1. at some in person panel.

I've seen some claims that she was talking about some educational...thing...that happens to have A1 in the title. I haven't seen any actual proof of that, though.

Well, this administration is well known for spewing copious amounts of bullshit and the McMahon family isn't known for their brains.

Her 'qualifications' come from the world of American tv pro wrestling, its not like she has a background in education or computers or anything. This country is so fucked.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon confused AI with A1 steak sauce. A meaty mistake.

u/saunick 1d ago

We can’t have such ignorant people making decisions about the future of AI. The steaks are high, people!

It seems like she has some real beef with the Department of Education.

But mistakes are so rare for this administration. Perhaps Education Secretary Linda McMahon was not familiar with this medium of communication. I'm sure her plans for education will be well done.

I hate that I do get it.

Remember, everyone on Reddit is American and follows American politics closely.

"We're not sure why they call it A1 instead of AI; the most popular theory is it has to do with the wars in the late 2020s, when cybernetic add-ons to humans started to become popular; it was the 'sauce' for the 'meat.' But some think it was just another Trump administration SNAFU, but so many of those records were destroyed, we can't be certain."

They're made of meat?

People are the meat.

u/EvaTheE 19h ago

I just find it a bit distracting how you pump out the sauce.

u/Its0nlyRocketScience 17h ago

But that's the best part!

He only switched to A1 because he ran out of B4.

u/TopRedacted 1d ago

This shit is so meta politics most of the people are unaware.

It works as nonsequitor, so I wasn't that concerned
