Didn't Soviet Russia try that? I think Mao did too. Definitely no scammers in Russia or China, though.

Stores do all the time. You want food? Go to the ATM and pull out cash with that Amex card. The store I work in already rejects them for their fees being way higher for us. What's actually coming is many places just bounce all the transaction fees back onto the customer.

Yeah, cause in a socialist society nobody ever scams anyone! People want money, power, and sex and many are perfectly willing to sacrifice their morals to get it. That doesn't change under a different economic system.

No doubt, there are a lot of talented people, even in ancient times. We're talking about the idea of AI being old though. Spinning scythes and clockwork automata don't count. In literature, which is the closest we get, if it has intelligence then until recently it's just magic. I can imagine and write about a lot of scifi-ish ideas. Doesn't mean I deserve any credit for coming up with anything.

None of those had a constructed brain though. It would be more akin to say life was "breathed" into them. They have "living"minds but no brains.

A better use of his and everyone's time would be helping to pass consumer protection laws that ensure this shit ain't happening.

Lol, yeah. That outta stop them.

So just do personal insurance instead. Cops gets paid the same, insurance is out of pocket. It's not the taxpayers problem anymore. You can bet insurance companies are gonna want to know about any psych evals or misconduct.

Is that it. Fascism is right wing therefore right wing is fascism? Thats the kind of simple minded thinking I've come to expect for left wingers at this point. If our government was truly fascist, you wouldn't dare post stuff like this. You think Mussolini or Hitler tolerated criticism? Biden tried so hard to actually usher in the destruction of the first amendment and you wanted four more years. Do you forget they tried to institute a 1984ish Ministry of Truth?

Did your education tell you to make a point by saying one line with no substance other than declaring them wrong and then following it up with an insult?

We don't care about how much power your computer is running. How much power is the server farm running Claude using? They all operating at big losses right now. When you're actually paying for it, is it worth the price.

You're free to leave. If you're not here... well your opinion doesn't really matter then.

We've heard all the "oh no Trump, this is the last election ever!" before. It great cause it comes from people who support the party that just skips doing primaries altogether now. Democrats haven't had a real say in their leadership since Obama first ran. I remember them rigging the 2016 primary for Clinton (Debbie Wasserman-Shultz admitted it). The ones screaming the loudest are the worst offenders.

It's nice to know the baseline

Omg, you're defending drug runners now? And just where do you think 2 men on a big boat with 3 motors, a bunch of big crates and no fishing equipment are off to in such a big hurry? They keep doing it cause they know they can get away with it. I suppose Maduro is a freedom fighter now.

You really do have TDS. What the hell does MAGA have to do with SE Asia or Africa? Seriously, is there anything you don't blame on the other side? Get a grip.
