in Strange New Worlds where Lt. Kirk shows up quite often. They are not trying to imitate Shatner's style (except here https://www.reddit.com/r/telev... ) but still wonder what Shatner thinks of the portrayal.

which was posed by a student at Geogetown University:

I was just wondering, have you seen the movie Wall-E? Because I feel like, as you've been saying with AI and all the potential benefits, uh why does it not make sense for us to invest all of our money, all of our time into developing really, really powerful super AIs so that they can just take care of all of our problems and in the future we don't have to like worry about things like working and jobs?

Get the answer to this question here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Power - solar with no night downtime
Launch cost - irrelevant xAI now part of SpaceX
latency comparable or reduces compared to other AI datacenters - up to Starlink/Datacenter then down with no other connection needed
Same setup works for moon and Mars

Romance and business share a lot in common and you are like Magaldi in Evita, here's the scene on youtube sorry about the low res: https://youtu.be/4sa9oMej5B8?s...

Given their stand against the Department of War, Anthropic are the Good Guys among the big LLM providers (esp with Ilya Sutskever still in stealth mode). And since the War Department is trying to squash them - supply chain risk - they don't really need any other distractions. You're kicking them while they are down.

Rozhavsky, the FBI assistant director. "They could never pull this off if they didn't have willing facilitators in the U.S. helping them...."
I dunno, maybe they want to earn some money so they can eat and pay medical bills?

This is exactly what Bernie Sanders has been calling for in many many videos: https://www.youtube.com/@Berni...
just one problem, Trump will send exactly $0 of that money to the working class.
BTW Andrew Yang was just on Moonshots with Peter Diamandis: the AI Era, Solving Job Loss, and the 2028 Scenario https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

If you are an optimist, The Culture offers a clear vision of where we as a society could head, read the books, here is a short summary online: The Culture War: Iain M. Banks’s Billionaire Fans Why Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos love Iain M. Banks’ anarcho-communist space opera. https://bloodknife.com/culture...

Think more along the lines of Europe esp Nordic ones. Americans have been conditioned by the media, which is owned by billionaires, to knee jerk rejections of just the word socialist or communist. Look at AI right now, no denying it is already taking over some jobs and it is still improving day by day. Even at a very minimal guess of 20% of jobs are taken what is the capitalist solution? Nothing, they avoid talking about it, ignore it, they'll just let it happen and tough luck for those out of work.

With the right government, a socialist oriented government, that would use the benefits of AI to help the people. The US does not have that government as eloquently noted here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
You can help change this situation in November

This is actually a good question in my opinion. Most people agree CO2 needs to be reduced but why hasn't it? That is what needs to be studied now. Also climate studies are laughable while Trump is in office - absolutely nothing will be done in the US while he remains in office, so we again ask our selves: how did he get elected?

If you found a company you expect to be rewarded if it becomes successful. There could be good reason to get rid of a CEO making bad decisions but it could also be simple backstabbing, which is legendary in Silicon Valley and something the TV show got right even if slightly exaggerated: https://www.reddit.com/r/cscar...

Images from Gaza causing protests on US campuses: Palestine was the problem with TikTok https://www.theverge.com/featu... Could that really be the reason it was sold?

Award-winning Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda has said she has been permanently banned from TikTok, days after the social media platform was acquired by new investors in the United States.

So we can conclude this current change is to facilitate policing things and users they don't like on the app.

That is what AI basically is - an alien intelligence. It is hard to visualize and be concerned about. This is why Anthropic did the right thing to require no domestic spying by the pentagon. Watching some scifi movies is the best way to see how things could play out. This is a plot point in a lot of movies but only a few emphasize the tracking aspect
1) Person of Interest - Samaritan arc
2) Captive State - aliens run world as a subjugated state, just how do you resist that? Very very craftily. free on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
