Then why not say "they are just computer programs"? I think the reason people don't say that is because they want to say "I already understand what they are, and I'm not impressed and it's nothing new". Bu

Even saving can be seen as greed. Someone can focus too much on accumulating for themselves. Both investing and saving can be seen as preparation. To avoid things becoming evil, you just need to make sure that your interactions with other a

This doesn't tell us much. I don't know why you would expect ChatGPT to do original PhD research. It's a general product that will trust already published research. That doesn't meat that GPT-5 can't do PhD research

This is completely wrong, at least for the crime organizations in Mexico. They are not a real threat to the state, and they are not similar to terrorists, they don't chant "death to America". What made the gangs in Mexico vio

War should be done by government, including dashboards for killing people. And then the focus should be on improving representation and accountability in the government. Doing this with private companies avoid accountability, the same way p
