#Ivy #Aberdeens #Letter #World,blake mangelson injuryLetter: I’m more concerned about AI development than the U.S. becoming an oligarchy – InForum
Much has been said about the tech billionaires at Trump’s inauguration. I, like others, am concerned that we are moving closer to an oligarchy with all these wealthy people so close to President Trump.
But where I part company with many, I am glad our leaders in technology have the ear of President Trump when it comes to artificial intelligence.
I believe our future as a society and a country is at stake if our adversaries (mainly China) beat us in the full development of AI. This may sound like science fiction, but it is here and now.
Remember the Manhattan Project, the World War II atomic bomb project aimed at developing the first nuclear weapons to prevent Nazi Germany from acquiring them first. Experts a lot smarter than me are warning that the full development of AI, is much bigger than the Manhattan Project.
I, for one, want our best and brightest working on the development of AI. We must beat our adversaries in this development. I believe those tech billionaires at the Trump inauguration should be at the front of AI development with the United States government.
Social media and artificial intelligence are here to stay. I am not excited about the opportunity for Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, or Mark Zuckerberg to make billions more from AI, but I am more concerned that China may one day control access to our national security, military defense, and personal lives.
We are so dependent on technology 24/7 that our country needs bright-minded Americans to win the biggest challenge ahead: the race for the full development of artificial intelligence.
Vern Thompson lives in Fargo.
Dear Editor,I am writing to express my deep concern about the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential consequences for society. While the possibility of the United States becoming an oligarchy is certainly troubling, I believe that the unchecked advancement of AI poses an even greater threat to humanity.
AI has the potential to revolutionize industries, improve efficiency, and enhance our quality of life. However, there are also significant risks associated with its development. From job displacement to ethical dilemmas surrounding AI decision-making, the implications of a world dominated by intelligent machines are vast and complex.
As we continue to push the boundaries of AI technology, it is crucial that we prioritize ethics, transparency, and accountability in its design and implementation. We must also consider the potential impact of AI on our economy, social structures, and individual freedoms.
While the rise of oligarchy in the U.S. is certainly a cause for concern, I believe that the potential consequences of unregulated AI development are even more alarming. As a society, we must come together to address these issues and ensure that AI is developed in a way that benefits all of humanity, rather than just a select few.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

President Donald Trump, while signing a flurry of executive orders from the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office of the White House as the now 47th President of the United States, discovered a letter from his predecessor inside one of the desk’s drawers with the help of a Fox News reporter.
Trump was in the process of signing one of many executive orders on Monday after returning to the White House when Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked if President Biden left him a letter.
“He may have. Don’t they leave it in the desk? I don’t know,” Trump told Doocy before discovering a white envelope with the number “47” written on it. “Thank you, Peter. It could have been years before we found this thing.”
Trump then teased everyone in the room by suggesting they all read the letter together, before pulling back the reigns.
Donald Trump Sworn In As 47Th President Of The United States
US President Donald Trump holds up outgoing President Joe Biden’s letter as he signs executive orders in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on January 20, 2025.
“Well, maybe I’ll read it first and then make that determination,” the president said, once again thanking the White House correspondent.
“Happy to help with the passing of the torch,” Doocy said.
Trump was then asked if he left one for Biden, and he said he left one in the desk, just like Biden.
Trump To Take More Than 200 Executive Actions On Day One
President Donald Trump signs executive orders in the Oval Office on January 20, 2025 in Washington, DC. Trump takes office for his second term as the 47th President of the United States.
In leaving the letter for Trump, Biden kept with the now 36-year tradition of the departing commander in chief, writing a note to the incoming president.
As he left the White House in 1989 after two terms in office, President Ronald Reagan started the tradition – leaving a note for his successor, George H. W. Bush, who also happened to be his vice president.
Four years later, despite losing to then-Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas, outgoing President Bush left Clinton a note in the Oval Office. The tradition has carried on to this day.

In the letter, former President Biden expressed his hopes for a smooth transition of power and urged President Trump to prioritize unity and bipartisanship in his presidency.

Trump also left a letter for Biden in 2021 following Trump’s first term in office, though its contents were never revealed.

Generate Key Takeaways(Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said former President Joe Biden left him a “nice” letter inside the Resolute Desk at the White House, continuing an inauguration day tradition.
Trump told reporters he opened the letter on Monday evening and was thinking of making it publicly available. He said Biden advised him to enjoy his term and emphasized the importance of the role.
“It said, ‘To Number 47,’ Trump said. “It was a very nice one …. just basically a little bit of an inspirational-type letter. Enjoy it. Do a good job. Important, very important how important the job is.”

Trump, who was inaugurated to his second term in the White House on Monday, said he felt he should let people see the letter because it was “a positive” for Biden.
Trump found the handwritten letter in the desk on Monday during a ceremony in the Oval Office after a journalist asked if he had received a message from Biden. He held it up for the cameras, showing a handwritten “47,” saying he would read it privately before deciding whether to release its contents.
Trump, the first president since Grover Cleveland in the late 1800s to serve nonconsecutive terms, left a letter for Biden when he took office in January 2021. Biden said it was a “very generous” letter but never released it publicly.
Former President Ronald Reagan started the modern letter-writing tradition in 1989, leaving one for his vice president and successor, George H.W. Bush, on stationery marked “Don’t let the turkeys get you down.”
(Reporting by Steve Holland; Writing by Andrea Shalal and Ryan Patrick Jones; Editing by Leslie Adler)
In a recent interview, former President Donald Trump revealed that his successor, Joe Biden, left him a letter before leaving the White House that he described as “inspirational-type.”Trump did not disclose the contents of the letter, but he did say that it was a “very generous” gesture on Biden’s part. This exchange of notes between outgoing and incoming presidents has become a tradition in American politics, symbolizing a peaceful transition of power.
While Trump and Biden have had a contentious relationship, with Trump refusing to attend Biden’s inauguration, this small gesture of leaving a letter shows a level of respect and civility between the two leaders.
It remains to be seen how Trump will respond to Biden’s letter, but for now, it seems that the former president has taken note of the gesture and is appreciative of the sentiment behind it.

Biden’s letter to Trump revealed: ‘May God bless you and guide you’
President Donald Trump revealed the contents of the letter that President Joe Biden left him upon leaving the Oval Office earlier this week exclusively to Fox News on Wednesday.
The letter, which Trump found inside the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office with a little help from Fox News Senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy, is addressed “Dear President Trump” and reads as follows:
“As I take leave of this sacred office I wish you and your family all the best in the next four years. The American people – and people around the world – look to this house for steadiness in the inevitable storms of history, and my prayer is that in the coming years will be a time of prosperity, peace, and grace for our nation.
“May God bless you and guide you as He has blessed and guided our beloved country since our founding.”

The letter was signed “Joe Biden” and dated Jan. 20, 2025.
On Monday, Trump found the letter – a white envelope addressed to “47″ – after Doocy asked if Biden left him a letter while he was signing a flurry of executive orders in the Oval Office in front of a gaggle of reporters.
“He may have. Don’t they leave it in the desk? I don’t know,” Trump told Doocy before discovering the letter. “Thank you, Peter. It could have been years before we found this thing.”
On Tuesday, Trump responded to further questions from Doocy about the contents of the letter.
“It was a very nice letter,” Trump told reporters. “It was a little bit of an inspirational-type letter. Enjoy it, do a good job. Important, very important. How important the job is.”
“It was a positive, for him, in writing it,” Trump continued. “I appreciated the letter.”
The presidential tradition of leaving a letter to their successor began in 1989 when President Ronald Reagan left the White House after two terms in office, with former President George H. W. Bush taking over. The tradition has carried on to this day through Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Trump and Biden.
Biden, however, was the first president to find himself in the unique position of writing a letter to someone who is both his successor and the predecessor who left him a note four years earlier. Trump became the first president to serve nonconsecutive terms since Grover Cleveland in the late 1800s.
Biden has said Trump left him a “very generous letter,” but has so far declined to share the content of what Trump wrote, deeming it private.

WASHINGTON − Former President Joe Biden left a letter for the man replacing him in the Oval Office, continuing a tradition dating back 36 years.
President Donald Trump discovered the letter, which was left in a white envelope with “47” written on it and underlined twice, in the Resolute Desk after a reporter asked about it Monday evening while signing executive orders. The 47th president didn’t share what Biden wrote.
“Maybe we should all read it together,” Trump quipped. “Maybe I’ll read it first and then make that determination.”
Former President Ronald Reagan started the tradition of presidents leaving private letters for their successors in 1989 with a message to then-incoming President George H.W. Bush.
“George, I treasure the memories we share and wish you all the very best. You’ll be in my prayers,” Reagan wrote.
Every outgoing president since has written a note to the incoming one.

Former President Barack Obama wrote to Trump at the start of his first administration, telling him “we are just temporary occupants of this office. That makes us guardians of those democratic institutions and traditions − like rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties − that our forebears fought and bled for.”
Trump’s letter to Biden after the former president defeated him in 2020 hasn’t been publicly released.
In a symbolic gesture of unity and continuity in American democracy, President Joe Biden left a heartfelt letter for his predecessor, Donald Trump, in the Oval Office desk before officially taking office.The contents of the letter have not been made public, as is tradition for such notes between incoming and outgoing presidents.

This gesture serves as a reminder that despite political differences, the ultimate goal is to work together for the betterment of the country. It showcases the peaceful transfer of power that has been a cornerstone of American democracy for over two centuries.
