I will be voting for Republicans I don’t particularly like in November.
Many Republicans WANT to be in the minority, so they can pretend to oppose the bills they actually support as they pass.
I’m not providing them that cover.
The time for protest votes is the primaries.
Yes. On the ESPN message boards.
Then Kobe got championship 1 in 2000. But he was riding Shaq's coattails.
So then he dominated the playoffs in 2001. But Shaq got Finals MVP.
By the time it was 2002, it was business as usual. Again, Kobe no Finals MVP.
Here is a list of things I think AI should be able to solve before it's dangerous enough to kill everyone:
1) all forms of entitlement fraud - this should be easily fixable by tracking payments and cash flows. Find where money goes in but no services are rendered. Child's play for an all-knowing AI.
2) elderly scam farms - fixed with telephony tracking, payment tracking, find the scammers, empty their bank accounts, sabotage their remote access strategies
3) narcotics trafficking - more money flow, disrupt crypto conduits, track chemicals being used for narcotic synthesis, disrupt those avenues of commerce
Compared to "the extinction of all humanity", these are very simple problems to tackle. These problems are a thousand times simpler than killing every person in the world
If you don't believe that AI can fix these narrowly banded issues, if you're immediately looking for reasons that I'm stupid an naive for thinking AI can solve these problems in the next 2 years, you have no business believing that AI can destroy all humans by the end of the decade.
@mattbilinsky Yeah, but this was plea bargain for Kawhi. Like a street drug dealer getting probation for ratting out his drug supplier. Too light in consequences, with the hope of getting the bigger fish.
It is simply not possible to hate these people enough. Nevertheless, try.
Absolutely despicable. It’s bad enough to get browbeat by demoralized ideologues when doing one’s civic duty on a jury.
But then you get smeared for it as well? In the press?
The message is clear: “Let this woman get away with killing her children or we will destroy you.”
We must treat these psychopaths with defiance and contempt. It’s all they deserve.
Damn the media for this. Damn them straight to hell.
@CurtisHouck Let the record indicate that a black man wanted justice for 3 white children. Let the record also indicate that liberal white women by their own standard must bow to his decision or they are racist. I don’t make the rules!
@merfster1@Goodable I bet you get a coupon on the way out of the stadium and it’s for a free dog at QT (they have great dogs and their stuff on the hot grill by the way. One of the best convenience stores/gas stations in the country).
Females generally tend to be more susceptible to social contagions. I don’t care if you think it’s “sexist” to point that out. It’s true. Gender dysphoria, eating disorders, “long Covid,” etc. If this becomes a full blown social contagion, a very dark future awaits us. This is why everyone must condemn this behavior in no uncertain terms with no sympathy or mercy for these monsters.
