Why shouldn't you exercise Caveat Emptor? Especially with cryptocurrency, designed to be libertarian, where you are responsible not the state?

"he made the bet, and being in jail is the outcome."

Does he think that since bitcoin went up and all his investors were made whole, his bet eventually paid off and they jailed him prematurely because a competitor of his spread rumors and his employees said whatever it took to get plea deals?

Remember when you were just anthropomorphizing when you thought your pet had emotions? With such a record of catastrophic mistakes, is the charg of misanthropomorphizing impotent?

"How much more tax are you willing to pay to support that?"

How much more tax do I currently pay for mass transit I never use? $500 car tabs, anyone?

Gemini:

"The Regional Transit Authority (RTA) tax rate on car tabs for residents living within the Sound Transit boundaries in King County is 1.1%. This translates to $110 per year for every $10,000 of your vehicle's calculated value. [...] The Regional Transit Authority (RTA) tax is strictly used to fund the construction, expansion, and daily operations of the Sound Transit mass transit system."

What prevents you from using AI to educate them the right way?

Are you going to hold your savings in Chinese currency? Or forego US stock market returns and hold Euros?

What if you subsidized US electric cars and let them compete freely, rather than cherry-pick some convenient reason why they should be banned? Since the dollar is the US's dominant export, can we easily afford it?

"the waste heat that's dumped outside has some potential to worsen local urban climate"

Do datacenters use more efficient cooling than residential AC (Copilot says yes)?

Why don't heat dome doomers mention that the AC they recommend you turn on makes the heat dome that much worse?

Why doesn't google publish the top search item on a continuous basis like the debt clock?

Why was it a secret? Is this a case of manufactured scarcity incentivizing arbitrage, so is your real problem with capitalism itself?

What if AI makes fewer hallucinations on average than humans, like self-driving cars have fewer accidents on average than humans?

Can smug comments on slashdot stop AI from holodecking us each a customizable VR where each of us is a sandboxed king simultaneously?

Does it seem hypocritical to treat electricity as beneficial when your creature comforts (not mine, AC gives me headaches) are tickled, yet claim electricity is scarce when datacenters which likely use less than AC anyway (Copilot says AC is 5-7x datacenter usage) are involved? Do you see how one might think your reasoning is motivated, by creature comforts that don't comfort me?

What if we're not feeble and have learned that it is physically healthier to sleep outdoors despite arbitrary social stigmatization? Why do you force air conditioning on me in hotel rooms for example, where windows don't even open anymore? Is this survival of the feeblest?

What if the datacenter is in Quincy Washington using hydropower that would otherwise be curtailed due to massive oversupply?
