When people greenlight unlimited Federal power just because it happens to match their political motivations. It's perfectly reasonable to insist that our elected officials govern us and not delegate said governance to apparatchiks at random. If anything, the left's response to this is a scathing self-rebuke of progressivism. "We can't have what we want if the representative government stays involved in the process!"

So, the expert developers creating your secret AGI project freaked out and called the board of directors about it being dangerous. The people who are going to race past Elon Musk if in wealth, who know practically nothing about the technology, said "It's not dangerous! Don't worry." Ok. I feel good about it now.

Hilariously, your post isn't descriptive of any one particular political situation in the US at this time.

The best way for you to fight climate change is pay a massive tax. To me! And I'll something! I Guarantee it!

I wonder sometimes how many CIA dollars are included in each gram of Fentanyl.

I think the issue with AI, other than it making a life of leisure at the detriment of all humanity, is bad actors.

Can we design an AI that is safe? That has humanities best interests in mind? Probably.

Can bad actors design a civilization ending demon AI? Oh my yes.

Our government is perfectly happy snatching even more power upon itself at every turn.

Climate Scientists: "Our completely perfect models for the climate have shown that we will encounter massive warming. Here are the numbers to the millionth of a degree.

Climate Politicians: "We must destroy the Western World, taking all of its wealth and giving it to Africa and South America."

Climate Scientists: "Or we could use climate engineering to just fix it."

Climate Politicians: "Well, your models are no good and that would be completely impossible to do safely. Global Warming. Destroy the existing world. Kill."

I'm not skeptical that we are changing the climate. Or that we should do something about it. I AM skeptical of the used car sales persons that are showing up trying to shove a revolver into my hand and insisting I write a will that leaves everything to them and then blow my brains out.

I don't sleep well because of the agonizing pain from a terminal illness. Pretty sure these results might have a bit of data bias in them lol.

Is anyone else tired of the government wrecking the sense of wonder in this world in order to catch a few criminals?

Iâ(TM)m good with this being a victimless crime. It is. As long as your arenâ(TM)t a parent, brother, sister, son, or daughter. Or friend, coworkerâ¦huh. Okay then.

Most white people speak English with a heavy non-native accent. Its racist to assume that you speak English because you are white.

American intervention in minority culture over the last 200 years is going to go down in history as the worst product ever sold to the public.

If you ever find yourself working at a prison in the US, the very first thing you say to yourself is "My god - the racism of the justice system in this country is undeniable...."

Then you get to know the folks on the other side of the bars, and realize that very few of them are some sort of sob story. Regardless of their race. They ARE murderers and carjackers and rapists. And proud of it. No mistake was made in their journey through the court system.

Instead, whats going on is every one of them had the stage set for this bout of incarceration the moment they were born. That stage was set for them by living in a culture that has been heavily reworked by white liberal activism to meet a set of political goals.

For example, White liberal activists have controlled Black American culture since the 80's or even longer, and 40+ years of manipulation of the narrative hasn't yielded a happy ending.

Maybe its time to treat adults as adults and stop poisoning their cultural water? When I hear someone say that the problems Black America labor under were caused by the whites, I couldn't agree more. I just wish everyone would notice WHICH whites exactly were causing these problems.

So dear white liberal elite - please stop being a bunch of racist helicopter pseudo-parents.

Just about every politician on both sides of the isle in the US support war in other nations. AKA blowing up innocent men, women, and children to make a cheap political point and enrich our military industrial complex.

Let me say that again...

Our government blew up babies and toddlers so that Raytheon's CEO could buy another swimming pool for his 4th estate.

If you think you have some sort of problem with the way the government comports itself now...wait until you see what the profit motive does when married to a disarmed US populace.

Heck, many of you think our police are out of control. Imagine what they would be like if there was NOTHING they could ever do that would end bad for them.

So call me when half the nation is dead and the remaining enslaved and its 100% to blame on private ownership of guns...and we can discuss banning them.

I am not a big fan of the hyperbole surrounding the reporting of this and some of the other martian missions.

Does the helicopter still work? Sorta. Okay - keep flying it.

Not OMG OMG OMG the thingy we spent ONLY $80million on flew more than once holy crikey!

Your $80m remote control helicopter doesn't impress me. Call me when it cost $1000 and flew 200 times.
