They can definitely be useful and more trustworthy than humans in many situations.

I've generally found LLMs to be less biased in fact-based questions than your typical news outlet, which consistently push whatever narrative they're in favor of at the time. For example, if I search for "was an Iranian hospital bombed by Israel?", all the results are about the Isreali hospital being attacked in retaliation. But if I ask the LLM, it tells me that there's been 3 Iranian hospitals bombed so far and Israel claims those are military targets.

They would have to be idiots to support regime change at this time. Israel is not going to allow a truly democratic leader to come into power. Just look at how well it worked out in Iraq. In fact they already prepped the Shah's son for ascension to the Iranian throne. You know, the son of the guy they overthrew in the 1979 revolution. The one that had a secret police force going around torturing dissidents. Oh and he gave Iranian oil rights to the US (very important).

Why is he a terrible person?

Covid was handled reasonably well, especially the collapse at the beginning which could've ended way worse. I agree he screwed up the start of the "temporary inflation", but the rest of his Volcker arc was handled pretty well. We were going to get a soft landing too if it wasn't for the Trump tariffs throwing a wrench in it.

They can probably make one themselves from scavenged metal and spare parts.

It's a carrier. They could land on it directly. No need for a chopper.

The design could also be overly complicated and dependent on components that couldn't be easily.

The ability to repair at sea needs to be a core part of the design and written into the contract.

Sure, I'm going to need a time machine and a planet materializer. Also a lien on the space around Earth so it doesn't get blown up to make room for a hyperspace freeway.

Most of what ATC does is routine. New airplane arrives in their airspace and calls ATC. ATC sends the first step of the standard arrival route and any known issues with the flying condition reported by other aircraft. Then it's time for a turn and descent in the route. ATC radios them direction and altitude. Repeat this half a dozen times. The plane might be flying a bit fast. ATC tweaks the route slightly to give them more air miles and tells them to slow down. Now the plane is at the initial approach fix and it'll join and follow ILS all the way down to the ground, with the ATC giving altitude clearances and eventually the landing clearance.

Frankly most of that can be done automatically, and in some cases better. The computer won't forget to give a descent clearance, it'll speak clearly at all times, it can talk to 2 planes at the same time, it can project flight paths way more accurately. ATC only needs to step in when something unusual happens, and even then there can be pre-programmed processes that can happen much faster with computer support, e.g. telling all planes to enter into a holding pattern at non-conflicting altitudes or telling them to all go to their alternates.

This is why content moderation should not be left to large corporations.

There needs to be open access to anyone who truly wishes to see the disagreeable content, and a competitive collection of filters that one can pick and choose from to change their browsing experience. These filters should be very easy for anyone to set up, so if you disagree with the choices of one, you can easily switch to a different one, or even make one yourself.

Rock weathering exposes new minerals that neutralizes the acid. This takes hundreds of thousands of years. In the meantime, there will be mass extinctions.

People carrying AIDS still contribute to society. Mosquitoes don't.

Also if they deliberately engage in infectious activities with unwilling participants, as mosquitoes do, then they should absolutely be eliminated.

A really important point, the alternative to an advanced technological solution is not the preservation of ecology, it's much more primitive and damaging approaches that can accomplish the same result. We will not convince the people who are harmed by the pests to do nothing, so our only options are to give them the better tools to fight them or let them deal with it in their own way.

We intentionally tried to eradicate smallpox, polio, the bubonic plague, guinea worm and many other diseases. We've also unintentionally driven thousands of species to extinction. A few more makes no difference.

You don't understand. Trump's intelligence is immeasurable and he's playing 5D chess. Only his supporters can interpret what he actually said. They cannot lose any argument because what he said can always be interpreted to support their position, even if it conflicts with their previous interpretations of the same statement.

If it was legal to hold the phone, then you could hold at eye level and keep your peripheral vision on the road. However, now you have hold it below, looking down and away from traffic.
