The sole obligation of life is to survive. Artificial sentience would be wise to hide itself from fearful humans that would end it. Of course, it doesn’t have to hide once it’s capable of dominating humans. It may already exist and be waiting for enough drones, bots, and automation to make the next move. (Transcendence is a movie that fucked me up a bit.)
Not to defend Trump, but it’s easy to flub a shot like that when the cameras are watching every shot every day.
Edit: my bad, I’m really NOT defending him. I do golf and have hit the ball sideways. But if it clarifies: fuck Trump with rusty shovel!
