AI researchers over romanticize their robot AI technology. They don't know enough about wars. Morality is something we talk about outside of the battlefield. It is not going to be your robot army fighting a human army. Instead, it will

I looked at blockchain and couldn't find information on how identity management works. I assume identities are stored on centralized blockstack servers. And how do I recover if I lose my passphrase or password? How does stealthy addres
