Interesting article but other than people pontificating for the sake of clicks and views they never really explain in concrete terms why they believe AI will take over the world. It seems to be more like the Terminator is real or the Matrix

The seal team 6 example is a bit extreme, but you don't have to look back very far and you see both political parties leveraging the justice department or the IRS or other agencies to make life difficult for their rivals.

I'm really surprised we haven't seen more of this in the US. In other countries have seen this idea where apartments or condominiums are on top of fairly large shopping malls. Maybe it's because of the idea in the US that peo

I think there should definitely be a distinction, and that distinction needs to be enforced by law, between required data and voluntary data. A certain amount of data is required in some industries to be collected and it is required by law.

No they shouldn't. While I'm sure a number of these accounts that get shut down are indeed scams or forgeries of some kind there will be a number of them that are legitimate accounts or perhaps legitimate people who wish to remain
