This is a pretty good guess. Trump seems to really want to use nukes, just in general. I’m not sure he even cares why.

As far as I know, this hasn’t been really confirmed with a smoking gun, as it were. There was an independent journalist named Adam Cochran who claimed this on X: https://x.com/adamscochran/status/2105090249445769519 . And it’s true that .si is the country domain for Slovenia, where Melania comes from, and where Barron also has dual citizenship. And it does look like there were several .si domains were purchased shortly before Trump’s announcement and then sold for huge sums, like “build.si.” But I don’t think it’s actually documented that there’s a direct connection to the Trump family in this, and that’s probably why mainstream news sources aren’t covering it at this point. Someone knew about this ahead of time and made money off it, and given this administration’s history, it would be kinda foolish to just trust that the Trumps aren’t among them. But it’s a big actual allegation to make without direct proof.

Ah, sorry. Sometimes I can’t tell because of the threading here.

That’s exactly the distinction I was making. The person I was replying to said “Imagine believing that they need “AI” to record us.” I was clarifying that this isn’t the AI we hear so much about that requires huge datacenters; it’s the kind of simple, embedded, “edge” AI that you can do with whatever microcontroller you have lying around.

These TVs don’t incorporate enough power to do any kind of serious LLM. The “AI” they’re referring to here is likely an embedded speech-to-text engine. And that probably is pretty necessary for this–it would take too much data to send actual recordings to Samsung, but text transcripts are tiny and easier to search and index. It’s easy to forget, but reliable speech-to-text has been around less than 20 years, and the tiny ones that can run on embedded chips are even newer.
