The mayor repeatedly poked at the POTUS, promising that unlike Trump, he wouldn't exchange " love letters on White House letterhead with a brutal dictator" in North Korea, saying he'd treat Russia "not as a real estate opportunity" but as a geopolitical foe, and warning Trump's bellicose and zero-sum approach to the world had weakened allies and degraded democracies around the world — while mocking the president's age.

But Husain argues that the only way to deter intentional misuse is to develop bellicose A.N.I. of our own: "The 'choice' is really no choice at all: we must fight AI with AI." If so, A.I. is already forcing us to develop stronger A.I. The villain in A.G.I.-run-amok entertainments is, customarily, neither a human nor a machine but a corporation: Tyrell or Cyberdyne or Omni Consumer Products.

And it was perhaps through the worship services — the only time many people at the heart of things would gather and take stock — that one could best understand what happened: the nervous Friday afternoon prayers in Shelbyville; the bellicose devotions of the white nationalists on Saturday; and the subdued Sunday night reflection on love and hate at the little church that had been dragged into all of this against its will.

North Korea, which has demonstrated it has solved the mysteries of merging nuclear warheads with missiles, warned in November it had successfully tested a missile with a "super-large heavy warhead which is capable of striking the whole mainland of the U.S." Despite all the bellicose rhetoric, including the exchange of personal insults, both men seem determined to declare the encounter a success, no matter how vague the outcome.
