What's real in the AI ICE age? I was watching some gnarly protest in Los Angeles this morning, wondering, it's very visceral, exciting, but is it real? Then I thought about the realist John Mearsheimer, and Mearsheimer AI, and I see him in the neighborhood walking his dog but he's always in his own world with buds in his ears. I could ask his avatar, but is the avatar real? These days we know nothing is real for sure, yet when I see the light on the lagoon scintillating my eyes, I hear a still small voice inside say a realist always knows what's real. And ICE terrorism is real.
