Well, what kind of rigorous safety standards would you have in mind? Every time I've thought about it, I can't come up with a set of rules that is both well defined and effective. ("don't hurt humans" is a fine rule but it doesn't have any implementation details.)

The best I can come up with is a set of rules for after harm happens, like, "If your AI hacks into another computer, the operator goes to jail." But that's not a safety standard, it's punishment after the harm is caused.

No, you're wrong. You're also a moron.

Why are you a moron? Because you took your opinion of something and assumed that everyone else has the same opinion. It's also a mistake a four year old might make. By the time you reach age eight, you realize other people have different opinions.

This is probably because social assholes cannot stand anyone doing things on their own...programming solutions you'll get from frat-boys and sorority-whores...No, world, you go fucking pair program (or just fuck and give each other your STDs already

LOL with that kind of personality I can't imagine why you don't like pair programming. Agile morning standup must be torture for you.

Pair programming in the modern era can actually give your programmers a massive speed boost, because they aren't spending half their time on the phone. It's like a fidget spinner but effective.

About 30% of the US population is evangelical, i.e. radical fundamentalist "Christians". This is about the same percentage of the population that still thinks Trump does a good job

He delivered on their primary agenda: he changed the court ruling on abortion.

A lot of evangelical Christians were single-issue voters, because they view abortion as baby killing. I admit if I started from that premise, I would also consider it an extremely important issue, so I can empathize with these people even if I don't sympathize with them or agree.
