We humans almost know how to create AI, but we have absolutely no idea how to create AI that likes us. This is a recipe for disaster.

Smart, powerful, good, people, looking out for society, has no substitute.

With them, any political or economic system will work. Yes, even the ones you hate.

Without them, your pet political or economic system will collapse.

@pragasum3122 @paulg But unlike astrology, this advice is highly useful.

[Shawn Yarbrough @corecursion]

@ZoldenGames You skipped the critical step of shaming the AI and rubbing its nose in its failure once the results became clear.

@AlecStapp @paulg It’s not obvious to me that this chart is bad.

China has considerably more people and was considerably farther behind in infrastructure.

China merely catching up to a healthy amount of electricity for their population size could look like this.

CNN = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
CBS = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
FOX = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
WaPo = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
WSJ = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.

Ah yes, tell me more about how the mainstream media is “far left.”

Rubio: "I’ve never seen [Trump] fall asleep."

Rep. Lieu: "I’m going to show you…a video that shows you just lied to Congress."

I think a giant imperial military blob with an unwieldy and overfunded warfare state making catastrophic tactical decisions by misusing expensive equipment in unsuitable conditions is among the most believable things in that entire movie

@AskCoachKev This is a great approach for people.

@zarembalaw @wholemars They’re talking about 14.3.3 being no nag.

I don't agree. The rich person does not simply create his company from nothing using magic. His skills are complementary to the institutions of the nation around him. In other words: Try getting rich in Somalia.

HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran:

- Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98%

- Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade)

- Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds

- Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz)

- Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility

- Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium

- Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium
Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains

- Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules

- Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years

- Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years

Ooops, sorry!

That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.

@APearlBird @Tendar How often does that question need to be answered?

I’d guess you should blow up the enemy as soon as you see them no matter where that happens because the risk of them escaping is worse.

@scarylawyerguy @SER1897 Our main hope remaining is age and poor health habits.

Some reasons why cooking is overwhelming for many:
-To cook each cuisine requires different base set of spices, staples, etc
-Popular recipes often include obscure, expensive ingredients
-Purchasing exact item amts often not possible
-Utilizing rest of perishable food challenging

[Shawn Yarbrough @corecursion]

@devahaz YES

@Noahpinion Americans really really do not like their made up dark fantasy imagined progressive ideology.

When you ask them about actual progressive policies but without a political label attached then they LOVE those policies.

[Shawn Yarbrough @corecursion]

@tlbtlbtlb @Noahpinion I liked this tweet not necessarily because I agree (or disagree) with it but because we need more of this level of mad reasoning.

@richphotoio @Tesla Yes it was terrible judgement.

Long term brand suicide all to avoid building new factory space for a billionaire’s robot armies.
