That was what I saw and I questioned it, because when any White House bans a media station as vanilla as CNN, something else is going on. And I have been on the fake news setting for months and there are enough of them to give shouts on, but CNN? That’s like banning vanilla for being non-chocolate flavored. It almost makes no sense. Almost being the operative word. So I started to look deeper and by jove, I’ve got it. You see less than 24 hours before the ban CNN gave us an article named ‘The real reason for Trump’s pedal-to-the-metal approach on AI’ written by Allison Morrow. Yes, yes, his favorite kind of journalist, a girly girl that does not care about his ‘delusional magnificence’ gave us a few real questions to wander about and that could have been the reason for banning them (I merely said could). You see the story (at https://edition.cnn.com/2026/09/18/economy/trump-ai-economy) gives us a few hard settings. The first being “President Donald Trump is suddenly at odds with AI’s leading executives over the largely unchecked development of AI technology. And it may be because our economy can’t afford a slowdown.” A view I have had for some time and there is a chance that some are waking up to the real peril the United States its in. And I think it is the realisation that “Trump’s pedal-to-the-metal approach suggests he may be more concerned about a bigger question: What happens to the US economy if the AI fever breaks on his watch?” And I get it, all this fake AI and people might wonder what happens when this fake AI gets to show the weakness of its fakeness and starts asking (en masse) the questions the media (in a world according to Trump), needs to hide for the good of America. This setting has run its course and the problem is that these questions are coming to the surface of nearly all fields and there is not much that this president can do to prevent that from coming to the surface. He could ban them to the White House and have them fish behind the netting what have been fished clean. That is what he might be thinking, but the story isn’t that pretty. So when we get “There are a lot of ways to slice the metrics on just how dependent the US economy has become on AI (and AI-adjacent) spending. ING estimates tech investments dominated by AI and data centers account for a third of year-over-year economic growth in 2026. Goldman Sachs’ chief equity strategist recently told CNBC that AI investment is driving half of all the profit growth in the S&P 500.” But I have said it on several occasions. Considering that nearly all of the “AI investment is driving half of all the profit growth comes without a return on investment for close to a decade” so what happens when there is no coinage linked to these investments? That is the question that the media to the largest degree is mismanaging. Now we see one article that brings that to the surface and they are banned?
So has anyone looked at Stargate LLC lately? A planned $500 billion investment over several years, it was going to be such a beautiful solution, all whilst there is no return on investment planned for the better pat of at least a decade and it will (according to some) create over 100,000 American jobs, so in this age of mass redundancies. Did anyone consider what happened to that project which was last years great solution?
So what happened to OpenAI (operational responsibility), SoftBank (financial responsibility and chairmanship via Masayoshi Son), Oracle, Microsoft, Nvidia, Arm, and MGX? I am merely asking, but in light of this CNN article, these questions also come to the surface. As such questions in the open and whilst CNN gives us “AI bulls believe it is the defining technology of our time, and that the stratospheric share prices it’s creating are just one of its many benefits. With widespread adoption in the future, the thinking goes, AI will turbocharge productivity the way the internet did at the turn of the century.” What matters now is that all this AI is fake and no one is wondering what happens over the next decade, because these data centers are in some form currency and when fake currency comes into the main setting of everything there is a bitter aftertaste and this is now seemingly surfacing. You see, the only real AI that we should embrace is now called ‘true AI’, but this is the AI that Alan Turing wrote about in his papers and if True AI is AI, then all the other puppies called AI become fake AI and that is the fear that President Trump has, because when the people realise that all the AI settings are fake, president Trump’s economy is collapsing near immediate and that is the real fear he has. So whilst he will come with all the film flam talks he can and how ‘amazing’ these AI players are, they need to see that all this fake AI is merely Machine Language with Deeper Learning and LLM in places are real solutions and they are at times great, but it is not AI, not even close and that is the setting they are all hiding. A sales talk that was placed in an overreaching setting and it s now coming to light. And this multi trillion dollar bluff is coming to bite all the players in the ass and whether it is a validated setting is beside the point.
And all along we now get OpenAI giving us ‘OpenAI reveals six more safety issues and unveils plan to disclose incidents’ (source: BBC) but first we need to conclude a few parts in the CNN article. You see we are also given “The icing on the cake, said Sonola, is the wealth effect. People with stock portfolios exposed to AI are feeling flush, and they’re spending lavishly — further helping prop up America’s consumer-centric economy. Whatever people’s personal beliefs about the technology, the money going into it is keeping the world’s biggest economy humming. If that money train stalls, the effects won’t be contained to tech investors on Wall Street.” Which is finished by “Last week, ratings agency Fitch ran a scenario imagining the economic outcome of an AI-related downturn, with US stock prices falling around 35% over six months, roughly the median decline of past financial busts. The result was that the economy would go into recession, with GDP contracting 1.5% next year. To be sure, there’s no guarantee, or even specific indication, that the music is stopping anytime soon, and Fitch noted that “a sharp decline in US equity prices is not our base case.”” Butter is the real danger, the US economy can never survive a 35% stock drop, I am willing to guess that even a 15%-20% drop in stock prices fall will basically end the US economy. That is the dark side of a $40 trillion billion bill with interest due every year (optionally paid in months) but that will end all of this quite quickly.
So now we get the BBC piece and we get one little gem there. It is “In the blog, OpenAI detailed examples of its AI models misbehaving so they could achieve a task or succeed in a test. The incidents included the models generating instructions to get around restrictions imposed on them, hiding mistakes and fabricating information. The firm also announced a new system to track, investigate and disclose cases of models misbehaving, or “misalignment”.” Now consider that this is Machine Language with Deeper Learning and not AI. So when will someone ask the programmers what is going on? I reckon these people are filtered away into ‘protected’ jobs. But the question remains and the effect on OpenAI with its operational responsibility to Stargate LLC is largely ignored and these questions are surfacing now, not just by me, but all over the field. And the investors are starting to get worried about the money they put into this, because those investors will lose a lot more than 35%. So when did you last see any investor not worried about his investment? I’ll hold the egg timer, you go look and the answer will scare you, because all this is pushed to nearly every corner and these corners are quietly praying that no one will wisen up, because it is their livelihood that is under fire at present. We get Google Gemini telling us (yes, I see the hidden hypocrisy there) “Artificial intelligence isn’t just replacing tasks—it is actively fueling and creating millions of new roles while transforming billions more. Rather than a simple number of “AI-fueled jobs,” major economic and labor data point to a massive wave of job creation” but the smallest setting is not investigated. How to validate and verify the so called AI data. So far there is not much of this going on and these are the massive requirements, because AI that runs on invalidated data and unverified data is by definition fake, so who is looking into that? Because if you cannot see these parts, what are you looking at?
Just a few little questions to ask and now wonder what parts did Politico get right? Perhaps it was ‘Poll: Americans say there’s a serious risk of AI destroying humanity’ three days ago. So as I see it there is something a lot more scary than the Epstein files. The knee-jerk actions of President Trump indicates this by his scared demeanor.
Have a great day today.
