Happy to report that people who claim “adulthood is a scam” are the same people who forgot that happiness is a choice, and it’s one adult bunk bed away.
@drgurner@neuralink I agree with you in general -we will have people like that. But if AI is to be as powerful as people want it, why would we want chips that enhance our natural mental capacities? AI is to “replace” us in mundanity, so that we can live better lives,not enhance our existence by chip
The war in Iran has now cost us $29 billion, NOT including the cost to repair bases damaged by Iran, according to the Pentagon. That cost could cover:
- The entire border wall
or
- Free school lunches for every American child for about 3 years
or
- 2 years of ICE operations
or
- Fund the EPA for 25 years
or
- Entire VA mental health budget for 15 years
or
- Fully fund the coast guard for 4+ years
or
- Head Start for 10+ years
or
- Cancel all federal student loan interest for roughly two years
or
- Universal pre-K for 3-4 years
We've spent more on 10 weeks of war with Iran than we spend on the entire federal judiciary — every court, every judge, every clerk — over roughly 15 years.
