90% of office jobs in the federal Government could be replaced by AI in in 2 years. 90% of contractor jobs offering services to the poor could be replaced by AI withing 5 years. This would kill all the fraud in social services, and remove a vast amount of resources from disadvantaged communities. That's why Democrats hate AI.
The interview was created in a time when the man sitting across from you was intelligent and had interacted with other people in direct, cordial and frank enough manner to be able to tease out your competencies over a conversation. What exists today is a cargo-cult with 0 purpose
I’m so relieved the west won the Cold War. If the Soviets had of prevailed we’d be living under constant photo survelience, all our phones would be tapped, going to a political protest could get you financially sanctioned, writing a critical book could get you jailed and there would only be one political party to vote for. What a relief none of that happened.

The “Free Market” is when YOU have a federally mandated wage floor and 25% effective tax rate, but illegal aliens get to work under the table for cash because all their living expenses are covered by Section 8, EBT, WIC, TANF, Medicaid, schooling, Obama phones, and internet/utilities subsidies.
I always feel vaguely bad when I eat at a Japanese restaurant, because they're a civilized people, and despite my best efforts. I always subject them to a revolting display of barbarous gluttony.
@Rickersam3@Sam_Schulman How many Muslims come to the US every year, Richard?
How many convert, Richard?
How many of those converts are killed by Muslims for the crime of religious freedom, Richard?

There are stories like this everywhere if you only strain to listen, but you are wedded to your lovely ideal that everyone can be an American, if only we try hard enough.
Every GWOT vet I've spoken to IRL has told me that the average Afghan is a monster. Not some of them being monsters, but the whole country. Raping boys, beating their wives, pimping their daughters. Horrifying culture.
