Artificial Intelligence now exceeds human capability.

I live in Texas and I oppose all laws on personal freedom including all laws interfering with the private relationship between company and customer. Would it be too much to ask the editors to identify what a Tesla is so I can know what this story is about? I'm pretty sure my high school physics teacher had a Tesla, but it sounds like that was something different. Please take pity on us poor oppressed Texans and enlighten us.

Debugger versus printf debugging is a false dichotomy. Better to have a nice logging system that is implemented in both languages. (But my coworkers think I'm irrational for favoring logging over debuggers, so probably noone will agree.)

But what is far worse is those people using force against those who disagree with them.

Right - keep blacks away from the white drinking fountain!

And it's wrong to enforce wrong laws.

Snort! Thank you for making me spew coffee all over my monitor!

No, right and wrong aren't determined by legislators or voting or kings or any of those other silly games.

Okay, but the crime in that case is being committed by those who would enact violence against the bar owner.

Right, killing someone is wrong regardless of your age or blood alcohol level. Drinking is not.

I'm talking about right and wrong, not legal distinctions. My entire point is that the law can take things that are right and call them "wrong." That doesn't make it so, though. It just means a bunch of popularity contest winners have the power to force their opinions and wishes on the rest of us.

Forged ID is victimless - fraud is not. If I create a fake ID saying I am old enough to drink alcohol and use it that way, that's a victimless crime. If I create a fake ID and use it to spend money out of your bank account, you are the victim.

Right, those things are wrong. As distinct from selling drugs, which is not.

Yes, but murdering is actually wrong, while selling contraband is not.

If they are appointed by the government, they are insiders, plain and simple. There is no way that government can magically achieve non-bias against itself. There are elections and appointments (and other options like hereditary titles in some nations), but they are all in some way influenced by the government. An independent man, appointed to a panel by the government, is by definition no longer "independent."

Forget that - I watched a DS9 a couple nights ago that pushed the idea that somebody was morally wrong for having used somebody else's idea without permission. My idea of utopia is we would be free of such wrong ideas.
