That was certainly an assumptive rant.

Tell us more about how little you know about how votes are verified, despite the information being public
What does that have to do with this, coward?
As the story says, they also use Fake IDs. The drivers may not even exist, at least the identity on the ID doesn't.
So, how do you think we made compilers to begin with?
Do you think they already knew Machine / Assembly to begin with?
Mu. Software doesn't know things.
Stop blaming washing machines for water scarcity and start blaming your decision to buy, say, pistachios grown in a friggin' desert. A one pound bag of pistachios requires ~1200 gallons of water and contains the calories to feed a family of 4 for a single day. A modern front-loader washer uses about 10 gallons and said family probably runs it about once per day. That's a 120-to-1 ratio. Other desert crops are even worse - beef raised on alfalfa (a major crop in the desert southwest) is orders of magnitude worse. And the wastewater from the washing machine gets reclaimed for other purposes after treatment, while the irrigation water is completely lost to evaporation.
I'll repeat: your washing machine is a tiny blip on the radar. It's your choice to buy food grown in the desert southwest that is your actual water consumption. And it's a perverse historic water-rights system that leads to growing all those crops in the desert using unsustainable amounts of water. Without these historic granted water rights, if water were just an open market relative to how much were actually sustainably available, it would be basically limitless to households, and agriculture would shift to areas where water is more sustainably available.
Compilers are deterministic and don't depend on training data
Being anti-tech also isn't what the luddites were about, that's a facile interpretation of their views. Any time someone suggests otherwise they are demonstrating only ignorance.
One of those is not an extreme
Suck harder, cuck.
I propose chippity chop when they hit one billion. By that time they've already been doing plenty of damage
Robots absolutely will get those welding jobs eventually. They will just get all of the easier ones first.
To be clear, and despite the bad reporting, this "$80 billion loss" is a paper loss. For example, $72B of it is convertible notes. They became a liability because the valuation of the company skyrocketed. They have nothing to do with the company's operations.
I need food in my house.
If you stopped irrigating crops in the US desert southwest, there would be no water issues at all, either for households or for industry.
I'll repeat, it is agriculture that consumes meaningful amounts of water, not homes and businesses. Farms by water by the acre foot - an acre of land flooded to a depth of one foot. Water is not abundant on the scale of "farms buying it by the acre foot", but it absolutely is on the scale of "what you need for your house".
Money is the root of all wealth.
