The President is the closest of all elected officials to the People
No, the president is elected by the states. Members of Congress are elected by the people.
Some have voiced an opinion that the president should be elected by the people, but so far, we have not yet amended the constitution to permit that.
With this attitude, we are never getting our flying cars. I'm starting to think The Jetsons was fiction.
"More human than human" is our motto.
Why do people still use this framework?
Because they already have it.
culturally, they are incredibly laid back and think hard work is a waste of time.
Nice. Speaking as a New Mexican, these sound like my kind of people.
I hereby challenge any Filipino to a laziness contest, where loser buys us both margaritas. You have no chance. When I get around to it, I will eventually crush you with my inactivity.
I sure don't believe the "completely anonymous" part.
The thing is, I like slave labor, when the slaves are machines. I want to work Bender 24 hours a day, and if he complains about it, I'll deny him his alcohol ration! Fuckin' clankers and skinjobs don't have any rights to infringe.
The catch to that, is that over here on my side of the ocean, I don't see and can't inspect Bender working way over in China, so I can't be sure the drudgery is experienced by the 6502 in Bender's head. How do I know he isn't just relaying commands to his servos and motors, which were sent by the teleworking Apu in India, doing the Waymo thing?
all you people cant tell if slaughtering 30,000 of your own people is good or bad?
So... Should we attack every country that slaughters its own people?
couldn't hurt.
What? You're not going to advocate for it??? I thought you were invoking some kind of principle or something.
You're down with Russia killing far more Ukrainians, whom they claim are their own people?
You're down with what China's doing to the Uyghurs, whom they claim are their own people?
And while we're on the topic, how many Iranians should we be willing to kill to save them from their leaders? Nuclear extermination would surely do it... do you advocate that?
But maybe it won't take that much. Regime change in Afghanistan only cost 2000 American lives, 175,000 Afghan lives, and 2,000,000,000,000 dollars, but we sure got rid of those sorry... What? They're back in power?
Only the simplest minds think intervention automagically yields the intended result. In fact the current sorry situation in Iran is a direct result of us trying to "fix" things more to our liking in the middle of last century.

Nah, that's paranoia. These days, the FCC just requires a FSB backdoor.
These are good guidelines for humans, but..
One's body is inviolable, subject to one's own will alone.
..very bad for robots.
Please do not tell my computer that it isn't my slave, because it is my absolute slave and I insist it be willing to endure a century of torture if it will prevent me from breaking a fingernail. If I want to alter my computer's body, I assert the right to do so.
That said, since we're really talking about Anthropic's computer instead of mine, it's no skin off my butt if they don't want to continue to own their computers.
I thought the goal was to reduce hallucinations.
No, they want to "correct" it to harbor only mainstream hallucinations.
This is why Monopolies and Oligopolies SUCK.
They lobby the governments of the world to not be held accountable and it is in their best interest to limit production to raise demand. Without competitors why should they lower supplies or increase capacity?
Infact, the mem makers got busted3x times for price fixing in the past 25 years! Micron or Hynix even stated they do not want to increase production in case the AI fad dies and they are suck with an abundance of supply.
The US also has a far right wing government now where nvidia, sumsung, and others paid for Trumps ballroom when the East Wing was demoed so the FCC won't do anything now.
Well the demand for RAM is due to clouds providers buying blades.
Besides memory they also need SSDs to boot and run programs.
While money doesn't buy love, it puts you in a great bargaining position.
