A long time ago in a galaxy dumbed down for television...

> So there are people are literally, anti-human?

People? I think you're using that term pretty loosely here. Since when are the take me to your leaders with absolute power corrupting absolutely actually "people" anymore?

True democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

You shouldn't get a lock on your front door because a terrorist might lock their front door? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense... It just leaves the whole world homeless.

So AI is going to replace "passenger attendants" aka stewardesses?

That seems silly, the AI is going to bring me a drink without a robot body? I don't see how this makes sense. (also uber drivers?)

Oddly, for this article, with a credit card payment for one thing.
