AI And Election Interference

Right Angle’s Bill Whittle dives into the fascinating world of artificial intelligence and how it could well become a tool for manipulating future elections.

Sourcing data analyst Robert Epstein, Whittle shares his three-step predictions of what might transpire in the coming years: 1. Even something as impersonal as Google search results can tilt, and have tilted, an election. 2. The new Chat-GPT 4.0 AI companion communicates with young people as if with a close friend, remembers the conversation, asks about their welfare, and so on. 3. Combined with the ability to create (or copy from real life) virtual characters indistinguishable from real people, an entire generation will grow up with DBF’s (Digital Best Friends) that will subtly but powerfully tell them who and what to vote for.

Right Angle colleague’s Scott Ott and Stephen Green join Whittle to share their thoughts.

A Victory For Climate Change?

Scott Ott brings us surprising (to some) news contrary to official facts that the number of people actually dying from natural disasters over the past 120 years is not rising at all, but has plummeted!

Citing a decadal average chart on the Our World in Data website, which measures deaths from natural disasters that are usually attributable to manmade climate change, deaths have declined 74 percent from the decade of the 1900s to the decade of the 2020s. Right Angle colleagues Bill Whittle and Stephen Green join Ott to tackle the issue.

The Eye Of Microsoft

Stephen Green reports that The Eye of Microsoft, which has long cast its fiery gaze on all of your data, introduces a new feature called “Recall,” which will take a screen capture of everything you do every few seconds.

This way, Microsoft claims, you will never forget anything!–and, of course, neither will they. Green is joined by “Right Angle” teammates Bill Whittle and Scott Ott to share their thoughts.

Baby Bust Threatens Civilization

Remember those doomsday predictions about human population numbers spelling the end for civilization as we know it?

It’s starting to look like they were right for the wrong reason: the world is facing not a baby boom but a planet-wide baby bust, the dire consequences of which are only now beginning to become apparent. The “Right Angle” crew of Scott Ott, Bill Whittle and Stephen Green share their thoughts.

Big Tech, Biden Censorship

Stephen Green says Big Tech and the Biden White House are just two separate ends of the same data cable. If the White House discovers something it doesn’t think fits the narrative, a polite phone call is made and the offending book or article simply disappears.

None dare call it government censorship, but that’s exactly what it is and it is endemic. Green and “Right Angle” colleagues Bill Whittle and Scott tackle the issue.

Your Graduation Cancelled!

Attention college and university students: You’re graduation has been cancelled!

Scott Ott reports that this is the unfortunate scenario across the country, as universities are following the lead of Columbia University, which became first to cancel graduation because of the concern for protests and violence at the ceremonies regarding the conflict in Gaza.

Ott is joined by fellow “Right Angle” members Bill Whittle and Stephen Green to share their thoughts on the turn of events.

Squelching Campus Unrest

The University of Florida, Bill Whittle’s alma mater, has taken a decidedly anti-Columbia stance toward the wave of campus unrest spreading across the nation–a move that has Whittle dancing in the streets!

The university issued a  clearly-worded memorandum of what will and will not be tolerated, and best of all–mirabile dictu! (wonderful to relate)–it has real teeth when it comes to enforcement. Students violating the dictum will be hit with a three-year suspension, professors will be immediately terminated.

Who knew restoring order could be so easy. Whittle is joined by his “Right Angle” colleagues, Scott Ott and Stephen Green, to share their thoughts.

Preference Or Discrimination?

All people of conscience can agree that legally discriminating against someone based on their skin color is morally wrong. That’s why it’s against the law.

But what about private discrimination? For example, does a 501(c)(3) have a right to distribute private donations based on race? Scott Ott provides the details and his “Right Angle” colleagues–Bill Whittle and Stephen Green–debate on whether it comes down to personal preference or illegal discrimination.

No Phone Zone?

Scott Ott reports that schools are intent on getting rid of student cell phones. Guess who’s stopping that, and it’s not the students.

For many of us old-timers, the idea of students on cell phones in the middle of class is nearly unthinkable. It’s not surprising that when a school recently tried the idea of banning cell phones from class it caused an uproar. But shockingly, the protess didn’t come from students, but from their parents! Ott and his “Right Angle” teammates, Bill Whittle and Stephen Green, have the details.

Lost In Space!

Confusing the far side of the moon with its dark side is the most elementary mistake a Junior Space Cadet can make, primarily because there is no such thing as the dark side of the moon!

Stephen Green, however, reports that NASA administrator Bill Nelson recently made this fundamental mistake and, moments later, elaborated on why NASA has no plans to explore the dark side of the moon. His primary reason: It’s dark all the time! Green joins fellow “Right Angle” colleagues Bill Whittle and Scott Ott to discuss the conundrum.
