   My first reaction was to agree with you. Then I considered the possibility that the reassuring notion of "America is doing just fine" may actually be the propaganda. https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2

   I don't think that's true. Lisa Su is a fantastic CEO but doesn't strike me as incredibly charismatic. That said, maybe it's a good thing...I'm not sure if semiconductors is the best industry for extroverts.

   And as for completely offensive weapons controlled by humans? Your metric seems arbitrary. Why (only) two dimensions?

    Perhaps I'm missing something, but that first dimension seems far from obvious. To continue my Iron Dome example, isn't the system making decisions on its own when intercepting anything it classifies as an incoming ballistic threa

    I am curious where you would draw the line between "AI military systems" and existing systems in use such as Iron Dome and other algorithm-assisted weapons.

    One thing I am still confused about is how the blockchain is supposed to make such ransom payments easily traceable. That apparently must not be the case if organizations keep falling victim to these attacks.

    I noticed they have sex in the base level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, along with food and water. I think we will see movement this century on the topic of whether or not it is a human right.

    Right. Isn't rock the most mainstream, big stage, for-profit genre in existence? Their comment just sounds like they want to criticize black people as a whole for some reason. Like...do they also criticize Indians for not being really

    These are new developments. Like the sibling comment mentioned, state funding dried up after the turn of the millennium. In addition, college is much, much more expensive as a whole, thus saddling these kids with debt that they foolishly

    Wouldn't it logically follow that issues of systemic racism are a bigger problem than the narrative of systemic racism? Can't that be true without being a brainwashed white guilted liberal?

    People can use the word "dying" in many legitimate ways. A popular product can be dying if it is degrading in quality.

    At this rate we'll need to give kids weekly throwaway identities akin to how we use throwaway email addresses and throwaway social media accounts.
