What you say seem plausible but, as an observer not privy to things, I am not sure how one can differentiate when someone is being allowed to get away versus being goaded to say incriminating things. But If you look at the written coverage

They probably are to some extent, and you know where the liability would lie if they are responsible should something bad happen. What about this case ? There is no sense of responsibility or realization of the danger they are introducing

Me too. I envision a pebble like smartwatch or an eink phone with Lora. Lora on 2.4 GHz can probably provide the higher bandwidth required for voice albeit at a lower range compared to the sub-GHz version. look up SX1280.

Its a pity that you feel it is some made-up nonsense and doesn't reflect the world in some way. Helps us give a different perspective on how or what things are. But that is alright, different things appeal to different people. It doesn

Precisely. Also all the other works (philosphy/religion) have elaborate contraptions to describe what it/God/ is. TTC is the only one that starts out with it cannot be told. No go live it.

It depends on what their interests are. For this person, perhaps something in science fiction. I second Asimov, especially the robot & foundation series. Or may be Dune.

Like all fundamental things, rationality is what we say it is. Things just are, if we cannot explain them we call them irrational but that doesn't mean that they are inherently bad or to be shunned. Rational thought arises out living,

there is a false equivalence here. Not able to model != not able to implement. Intelligence is situated, we may not be able to replicate human-like intelligence since it presupposes a human being, but it also doesn't mean we cannot com
