Yeah, nobody's moving on. The media has spent decades pumping the fear of pedos because nothing attracts outrage like harm to children, and now here's a whole group of pedo scum going untouched and seemingly uninvestigated and the

Pretty much as soon as the idea of computers were invented people have been dreaming about AGI. There's no practical usecase, but it's what people want, so there will always be hype and people trying to get there.

The trillion dollars a year pumped into the military support the stock prices of quite a few highly-valued companies. A sudden collapse of hegemony would be bad for "the market", but that seems unlikely unless WW3 actually kicks o
