Ronald Reagan's daughter suggests cognitive tests are a 'good idea': 'We know about what age can do'
Ronald Reagan's daughter, Patti Davis, weighed in on the age issue at the forefront of the 2024 election on Sunday and said presidential candidates probably should face cognitive tests while running for office. Before President Biden was elected, Reagan was the oldest person to be elected president, at the age of 69. "Now, obviously, the president is in his 80s, former President Trump, the frontrunner, is in his late 70s. Do you think there should be cognitive tests for people running for the highest office in the land?" And just what we know about what age can do, it doesn't always do that, but it would probably be a good idea.

'Historical Figures' AI Chat Bot Generates Lies From Dead People – Rolling Stone
The latest artificial intelligence tool to sweep social media is "Historical Figures Chat," a novelty that currently sits at the #34 spot in the "Education" section of Apple's app store. "With this app, you can chat with deceased individuals who have made a significant impact on history from ancient rulers and philosophers, to modern day politicians and artists," the description claims. What it doesn't mention is just how off the mark some of the algorithmic responses can be. The internet being what it is, users have downloaded Historical Figures -- which was first made available some two weeks ago -- and embarked on conversations with unsavory characters including Charles Manson, Jeffrey Epstein, and various high-ranking Nazis. These are just a few of the 20,000 significant personalities available for interview, and they seem especially keen on expressing remorse for the horrible things they did while alive, while whitewashing their own documented views.
