Comment Re:Why opposed? (Score 1) 83

I would have no problem with this if it were clearly labeled as fake and for entertainment purposes only ( some can be quite entertaining ). The problem I have is that you can spend 5-10 minutes watching the slop before you realize that it's slop. And as slop producers skills improve, the number of videos that you don't realize are slop, and actually believe are real, increases. Eventually you even believe that Trump is really good ( or bad, depending upon your initial bias ) based upon made up slop that you believed. Essentially now you can't believe anything that you see on the web. Slop and fake news channels are making us all either cynics or dupes, or both depending upon the subject.

Comment What happened to the coral ... (Score 0, Troll) 11

What happened to the coral during the Medieval warm period, or during the Roman warm period, or during the Minoan warm period, or during all the other periodic warm periods when the planet was several degrees warmer than it is now ? Triremes with locals flinging buckets of water up into the air ? Just wondering.

Comment Already happened in government (Score 1) 93

This has already happened in government. Over half the decision makers have already been replaced. The only difference is that instead of being replaced by AI, they've been replaced by lobbyists. The politicians are still there just to maintain the illusion that we still have a say in government.

Comment review existing approved drugs (Score 1) 118

Perhaps they should use A.I. to review existing approved drugs in light of new ( since the drug was approved ) data. There are probably more drugs that have already been approved that should should not be, than there are drugs that the makers are trying to get approved now. There's bound to be more evidence of adverse side effects after years of use than there is for drugs that are experimental and have little real world use.
