Well stated limitations on laws. One reason for having a king + senate, rather than a republic. The king can/will act beyond the laws, when the laws assuming good-will fail the common good. The king would "simply" have this digital sociopath tracked-down and shot dead. ARCH-TYPE Germanicus preferably, but otherwise Aurelius/Augustus not Nero/Caligula.

An orchard or garden might be 200 yds wide, but a "forest" ? Perhaps you grew up/live in a big city and have never trekked a high plains forest , grouse-hunted a swale forest of low pine, followed a stream thru a forest valley or skied a mountain forest run. Arguably if you can see to the end of it, it's a park, not a forest.

Brits gave Russia the jet engine after WW2; claiming ...' one fellow socialists gift to another ...' Now the Brits give ( another jet engine / *.ai / cypher ? ) to kommi-con China; I guess one mongrelized faded empire bows to new blood . Does the sun ever set on a Chi.com empire that manufactures American bacon and is permitted to buy American property ?

Tha'r she blows ! You make an amusing point. Whales are one of the last large pack-forming mammals yet to be domesticated. You would think with the millennia-long demand for lubricating/fuel oil some enclosed volume of ocean ( the Baltic ? ) would have been cooperatively set-aside by surrounding nations and whale-farming practiced. Never happened AFAIK. Wonder why ? Mebby "krill" is impossible to grow systematically.

Not so fast, mercantilist ! I can go out to the forest or beach anytime I desire and gather a free lunch. Guess you are not much of an out-door person. Also, bread , beans and milk are SURPLUS products almost everywhere on earth --- production is higher than consumption --- so why does their cost inflate with available dollars ? Items in scarcity ... like caviar , 15 Y/O scotch, GPUs or silk shirts ... of-course price differently.

FIREFOX is no longer the best option. Librewolf installs & works smooth as butter; a slash-dot poster gave me the clue, and I switched a couple weeks ago. Been with MOZ since Netscape, but they have changed; I never looked back.

Funny coincidence --- I just came across the sci-history fact the original Aharanov/Bohm ( 1961 ) paper ( vector potential Quantum effect ) was written in German for a German sci-mag. Wonder what *.ai translator would/will make of Einsteins "photon" ?

I have never understood the "high frontier" concept. Why spend trillions going to Mar ( which hates us and makes astroboiz eat toothpaste ) ... instead of spending millions at off-shore Hawaii where every lunch is lobster or maimai . And snorkling 1st class. We don't even talk of sufacing into sunny afternoons spent surfing, instead of hiding in a gawdforsaken ( -80 F ) cave while dust-storms rage just feet away. And does kevlar/teflon astro-sheik compare to palm-frond hula-babe dancing ? What's the perv against our low frontier with all the untapped minerals 1000 generations of humans would crave ? I just don't understand current priorities.

Space itself ... if a self exists ... but if it doesn't exist how can you bend it? . The "aether" assumption was well motivated. Maxwell believed it, Lorentz believed it. I suspect the Aharanov/Bohm effect implies it. How to get-around the Michaelson/Morley result I have no idea.

Not much financial self-interest on Huangs part ... eh? Say nothing of cultural fear; " loss of face" when the *.ai bubble bursts ( without constant gub'mnt prop-ups ) must give Huang nightmares.

There you go ... you make a clever, snarky leftist point very-much on-topic ... and funny ... and KARMA-warriors give you the screw. You do assume the reader --- left or right -- has studied Chomsky as a premier 20-th Century scholar. Prolly too much to assume .

"... Tech is moving so fast,...". Yes, the gap between ignorance and maliciousness is closing at a rate faster than the speed-of-light. Goto Palantirs' website 1st-page and they will show you their warp-drive ... it's labeled ... 'AI will make all decisions ' . You will pay them for the hallucination, and no Scotty appears to "beam me up".
