"It is neglect of the highest order to look children in the eyes and say: 'We knew how to protect you, and we didn't do it.'"

I need people to understand, AI can't read, it can't understand your question. It uses pattern recognition. If you're using it for research, its not research, its selective and biased results based on pattern matching, if there's no pattern it fills the blanks with false info.
This is such a horribly shocking statistic that it's hard to comprehend, but it's even harder to comprehend that there will be *worse years ahead*. Much worse.
Every time I talk to someone about China I inevitably end up having to slip in something like "well yeah they're responsible for the welfare of a fifth of humanity" and it always makes people pause for a moment.
When you lose your health for real you enter into an eerie world behind the world and have to ask people if they’re willing to be in it with you for a while
“don’t build a giant nightmare factory in my town that will raise all my utility prices without providing any tangible benefits besides making it easier to automate my job” is the easiest political stance of all time for anyone not actively getting paid off by big tech
I DO NOT like it when capitalists are like “but under communism people will have to do jobs they don’t want to do” as if all the people currently working 80 hours a week at three different fast food restaurants are doing it for the love of the game.
"It will fail because it won't generate profit!"
The purpose of food is to feed people, not to generate profit for mega corporations.
"Regular grocery stores will have to compete on prices!"

To all the responses that are like "But I'm an author AND I support libraries!", I have to say, it's an incredible accomplishment to be an author and also illiterate.
I DO NOT think people fully understand how much 1 billion is. If your salary was $100k with no tax, it would take you 10 years to become a millionaire, but 10,000 years to reach a billion. It is unethical for one person to be hoarding this much wealth while others cannot eat.
