You’re glossing over the part where we’ve got an administration that’s anti science dumping money into what is literally snake oil. We are so strapped for cash we need to cut off people’s healthcare, slash NASA’s budget, make massive cuts t

You’ve hit the nail on the head of why I think AI is counter productive. In my experience, the place it’s most useful is an area you don’t have expertise in as a sort of bolster to your knowledge. Also in my experience, it tends to be reall

See step one. The hospitals closed and Medicaid had to be gutted because of illegal immigrants. Nothing to be done about it now.

It will require a modern Geneva convention or the extinction of humans eventually. Drones are the modern equivalent of chemical and biological weapons.

I'm not sure that's really fair. Within any organization there are subgroups. For instance there was an entire branch of AT&T that was dedicated to illegally spying on Americans for the NSA. Most employees of AT&T had no

It would seem to me that the datacenters in question should be bearing the entire cost of the increase. Anything else is just subsidizing someone's business. The utilities are there to serve the people, and Facebook trying to mine ev

Let me start by saying I'm no fan of the TSA having been traveling for business for 20 years. But we do know exactly why it was originally enacted. Which is that someone tried to hide a bomb in the base of their shoe to blow up a fli

Buckle up, here comes the attempt at a dictatorship. There's a reason our constitution has checks and balances... and no, LEGALLY the president can't just ignore laws. But in this timeline I guess anything goes.

Israel has been using force for multiple decades to no avail, it ultimately was delayed by diplomacy. If force alone could stop a nuclear program, why does North Korea have bombs? Many nations could have attacked them without any concerns
