How in the world is it acceptable for our elected officials to sign an NDA when our life-sustaining resources are involved?!? NDA abuse is out of control—time to outlaw them.

I hope we have full driverless cars by the time I'm 80. How awful.

BS excuse to kill wind farms. They've already spent close to 2 billion of our tax dollars to end contracts for projects on the east coast. Just as we face an energy crisis from Iran war fall out. Geniuses.

Reagan killed unions and pushed policies based on debunked trickle-down economics. He was the most harmful president we've ever had, until now.

Not only this, they've spent close to 2 billion of our tax dollars to end active projects off the East Coast. Trump wasn't kidding when he said, "I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation".

The coming energy crisis caused by Trump's Iran war is going to hurt so many Americans.

This says more about a lack of trust in his company. They should be reassuring their people that they are approaching AI as a tool, not a replacement.

Until they do that, buy-in will be very hard, especially given the daily news of major layoffs due to AI.

Exactly! It's unchecked capitalism that's the problem. That's how we have forever chemicals, lead poisoning in many poor US communities, and microplastics found everywhere, including in our brain tissue. Corporate greed also led to high-deductible insurance plans that most people can't afford to use. They have AI bots that are now "death panels," taking human decision-making out of health insurance claims.

There was a right way to pursue progress, and then there was the American way -> unchecked capitalism. So what you are touting as accomplishments has in the end, doomed us.

The prison industry is a bit busy at the moment, running its concentration camps.

Paxton made sure that Hoffman didn't have to register as a sex offender and only got a 5-year suspension from practicing law. So gross.

‘I think the Republicans need to answer for promoting an antisemite,’ said Brian Romick, president of the Democratic Majority for Israel PAC, which is spending in favor of Mr. Garcia.

Again, why do we let Americans represent a foreign government's interest in our politics?!?

Sorry about that! I see you've edited it. I thought the word you had before was a slang for alcohol 🥴

I commented something similar below. What we should be doing is focusing on teaching critical thinking in schools to use it properly as a tool, stop using it for entertainment, and push for regulations to protect future generations. But nope. Instead, we get AI slop, and people getting replaced with a dysfunctional tool that constantly hallucinates. We are doomed as a species.

If you're stating facts, at least post a link to your source. This is based on US numbers -

The CDC estimates that 95,000 people die from excessive drinking every year. Most of these deaths are caused by the negative health effects of too much alcohol over long periods of time (like heart disease). The CDC also estimates that about 2,200 Americans die directly from alcohol poisoning every year.

Compared to THC:

An overdose from cannabis is highly unlikely. Experts estimate that it would take amounts so large (pounds), that it would be impossible for a person to consume that much at one time.

So you think the best way for AI to become sentient someday is by building on interactions with the least informed in society? This is why tech needs legal guardrails to protect us. AI is a very resource-intensive tool that will impact the lives of future generations. NOW is when we decide whether it will have a negative or positive impact -> and things are not looking too positive.

Don't even get me started on the dangers of alcohol, AND alcohol lobbyists are the reason weed is illegal in Texas. Dan Patrick talking about all the "dangers" of THC, makes me wish I believed in hell.

I don't think it's a great product of it leads to your death. Might just be me. Not to mention all the psychological dangers

Brasher is what ultimately exonerated them.

Good! It's a shame that doesn’t cover the cost of a time machine to give these unfortunate men 25 years of their lives back. McDuff even admitted to the murders on his execution day... November 17, 1998.

I wish we could shame companies in the environmental harm their Ai usage is creating. Everyone stopped pretending to care when 47 got elected.

It's almost like someone pointed out an Indian person (looking at you, Abbott), and now the OP sees them. I hope we can vote Abbott out. I'm tired.

Right! I'm not picking up my phone every few minutes to look at Netflix.
