But the Bible specifically requires that!

The bottom line is that AI software is, at present, nowhere near where it needs to be to be useful. The approach used has serious flaws and more power won't help that.

Artificial silicone life certainly exists in America. But I don't think it's what you're referring to.

Microsoft today isn't the Microsoft of the 80s and 90s?

I think this rather indicates there may be some lies involved in that claim. This is very much the tactic of Old Microsoft.

Back when I was doing graphics, I always preferred Deneba Canvas over the separate Adobe products (PhotoShop and Illustrator). Canvas could mix bit-mapped graphics and vector graphics in the same document, and Adobe couldn't...not even as imports. (I,e, worse than Inkscape is currently.) But they didn't have a big ad budget.

Personally, I am opposed to tourism...but not strongly opposed, except for myself. But it's a measure of attitudes. As are the "don't buy US imports" movements. If they persist, it will have a very noticeable economic impact...probably not evenly distributed. Those who expect to get hurt are reasonably upset. Those who are surprised by being hurt (in a few months) will be unreasonably upset.

It's enough of a change to send many businesses under. To what extent it will depends on several other factors. Were costs to drop sufficiently it would counter that, but that doesn't seem likely.

There's considerable value, to the extent that tourism ever has value. But the costs have gone way up.
I wouldn't consider it a good idea, but then I've never been or wanted to be a tourist.

Not precisely. The politicians will be quite satisfied with that change, but most of their "supporters" won't be. The Democrats are only slightly less worse than the Republicans. Both strive vigorously to centralize power, it's just that the Republicans lie about it.

I'm not much of a gamer...but I still play Alpha Centauri and occasionally Civilization CTP. If I were a gamer I'd seriously check out GOG rather than just looking at it once in awhile, so your point is correct, as far as it goes, but it's incomplete. If I could find the games I want, I'd buy them and play them.

Only if there aren't tariffs making the exports too expensive.

Nobody's perfect. Certainly Eisenhower must have known about Nixon's faults when he was his vice president. But I can point out to lots of bad things about every president that I've studied sufficiently.

Things like "this game depends on a server which has been deactivated" are why I stopped buying games a bit after 2000. Copy protection was bad enough, but if I had the original media I could reinstall. This, though...
Buying games was a waste of money. After a few bad experiences, I'll never again buy a game that can't be installed and played in an off-line system.

You left our "the producer finds another market that's more profitable".

I think the tariffs are high enough to essential cut off trade. The questions are:
1) Will he keep them?
2) What are the loopholes?
3) How badly will the dollar collapse?

Point 3 may be bad enough that the tariffs will soon become irrelevant. It depends on whether we just get a bad recession, or whether we get a full-scale depression, and how bad of one. I can't imaging any foreign investors being committed enough to make a serious investment in the US, and in fact I suspect most multi-nationals are planning to host themselves somewhere else, with perhaps a spin-off in the US.
