If a Saudi national was stealing the secret of how Palmolive dish detergent softens hands and exfiltrating it back to the Saudis,
Saudis have no need. They all have very soft hands.
They import foreigners to do all that kind of work.

But then it wouldn't be a UBI anymore.

What is the possible cost of not having Data Sovereignty?
Someone like Trump or Musk could turn off your data and let an invading country have its way with you to improve their chances in the mid-terms.

AI is a tool. Like a hammer, or a nail gun, or a flamethrower, or bleach/acid, etc. We don't stop developing those tools because they're dangerous. We simply require people use them in a safe, responsible way, because they're very useful tools, and it's not hard to secure them.
If you stop connecting your AI agent to the internet, there goes that risk. if you stop connecting it to things that can cause damage, there goes another risk. It's not rocket science.
But the Chinese will, and we can't allow an AI extermination gap.
we're boned

Nancy Pelosi ranks 8th in terms of wealth. I'll let you guess which party the 7 people in front of her belong to. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F...
But yeah none of them should be abusing this insider trading.
Interesting that the 7 above her got their money from things like founder, CEO, owner.
But Nancy's is listed as "investments"

It's not about protecting rubes, it's about preventing an avenue for influence that's hard to trace. Who knows what countries, companies, and people put money in Trump's pocket through his coin and what they got for it.
Screwed over most likely.
It's not like Trump is well knows for sticking to his deals.

"Democracy" gave us Trump. Maybe we should try something else.
Feel free to move to Russia or Iran if you want some examples of "something else" in action.

A trail failing is actually a success.
It worked perfectly. Not a sing bad person on the watchlist wanted to take the risk of getting caught and stayed away. Keeping everybody else safer as a result.

If you'd like, let me know what specific tasks you need it for—such as coding, writing, or research—so I can provide a more detailed breakdown.

At least Grok followed the instructions and answered with only 1 word.
