We are way past inconvenience. Electricity bills typically go up at least 15 to 20%. Air quality drops tremendously and becomes a serious health concern especially for children. Remember even though they're taking all your electricity it's never enough so they are often running gas turbines with absolutely no oversight or environmental regulations. Your probably values collapse so you can't even sell and move. The noise is also not just inconvenient it's a constant drone that you never get used to and it bores into your skull and hurts. Finally they start taking so much groundwater that your foundation starts to collapse.

It's basically the death of any community. That's why people scream at those Town Hall meetings. But they haven't figured out that they can't do anything about it as long as they keep voting Republican.

They are the party of the billionaire and the fascist. That's what you get with the Republican party. There is nothing to save there. At a certain point an institution just becomes too corrupt to be saved. That point was around 1995 when newt Gingrich and his cronies took over the party completely and started actively hurting the country so that they could blame the damage on the Democrats and leverage that into election wins.

I do not think it's unfair to call the Republican party a terrorist organization. They have repeatedly been caught blocking critical legislation or passing legislation that hurts the American people in order to blame the Democrats for the damage done. That is causing fear and pain or political benefit which is definitely terrorism.

At this point what needs to happen is the Republican party needs to be wiped clean and the Democrat party needs to split between the centrists and the progressives. Trying to reform the Republican party would be like trying to reform the national socialists if not going to happen.

I should add, it is kind of funny in a morbid way watching right wingers who have been voting to undermine democracy for 50 years in order to stick it to the libs finding out that you can't undermine democracy just for the libs.

I have watched several videos of local county level Town officials being screamed at by their constituents because they approved the data center. And they just let it wash over them because they know when election time comes it's going to be a choice between them and a Democrat and there is no way in hell those people are going to vote for a fucking Democrat.

4. Widespread voter suppression and propaganda in red districts undermines democracy to the point where they can blow off their voters even more so than they can in blue districts.

It looks nothing like it. We've been pre-emptively arresting people on actionable threats of imminent danger for decades. There's no slippery slope here, it's the endless flat plane we're on. There is nothing new here.

Not so sure about that. I made it all the way to 6th October 2026 without AI models on my PC and still can't see why I would want one or why it would be worth wasting 12GB on.

That's not covert. We know fully well that anyone putting their phone in their breast pocket with the cameras visible is a pervert, because only perverts keep their phone in their breast pocket with the cameras visible.

Yes, and masturbated furiously to pictures of people in restrooms. It created new genres of porn for people's enjoyment, and created new ways to destroy people's lives.

You may have survived, presumably that's because no one thinks someone would masturbate to you.

Sidenote: a friend of mine has been shot, has a nice scar in her shoulder to prove it. She survived. Maybe we don't need laws against shooting people, after all everyone *I* know who has been shot survived.

No where, we go, assume a threat is real, investigate and let the legal system deal with the results. People seem to think that police work extends to just acting on a phone call and calling it a day, it doesn't. Arresting some people for something which turned out to be false isn't that much of an issue, unless the arrest itself is actually violent (e.g. SWATting)

In most countries in the world people are pre-emptively detained if there's an uncertain and unclear risk. They are then investigated and usually either released or detention extended within a day.

The printing press was invented at a time when safety standards were virtually non-existent, a time where workers were largely expendable, and most products of the day ended up killing people in some way or another. If the printing press were invented in it original form today it would be outright instantly banned and the creator thrown in jail for gross negligence. Sam-Altman would statistically not be alive given he's now 6 years older than the average life expectancy of a person around the time the printing press was invented.

In modern times under modern workplace laws, printing press deaths are non-existent for all but the most seriously of stupid accidents.

But really I like the point you're making. AI doesn't have moral agency and it's use determines liability, that's your point right? So let's thrown Sam-Altman in jail. After all he ran a company that engaged in an active cyber attack against competitors, governments, and released a product to people with so few guardrails that they themselves can't seem to keep it under control.

AI is a metric fuckton of cons and a tiny pinch of pros. Typically we allow bad things to happen if they come with a greater amount of good, not the other way around.

Because they actively encourage police to believe that their matches are 100% accurate.

Cops are dumb. This is on purpose. The job is extremely boring so they filter out more intelligent people because smart people get bored and leave the job after all that expensive training.

So flock rolls in and tells these cops who already aren't the sharpest tool in the shed how accurate and amazing their software is. So the cops just take it for granted and arrest anyone the software tells them to arrest.

I mean yeah we could hire smarter police but that would require a ton of police reform nobody is willing to do. It's just easier to get rid of the flock cameras and that's at least on the table.

Quiet a few astronomical observation on very distant galaxy (so ancient light) shows that some of the fine structure constant did not change with time, or changed less than 10^-5 of its value (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2Fastro-ph%2F9803165), maybe somebody has a more recent article on whether that alpha change was confirmed or not.

"Car thefts in San Francisco are down almost 59% for the first eight months of 2026"

And car fuel price exploded. I think this is a far more likely correlation.

As "a teen"? The funny thing about stupid people (such as yourself) is that when you post bullshit it is so easily verifiable as such. Even if it was AI, there have already been multiple members of ShinyHunters arrested around the world, some of which admitted to being members of the group, and who thus far have not been teens.

I do want to change my answer:
Before: Fuck all the way off with your crime excusing bullshit.
After: Fuck all the way off with your crime excusing bullshit and be less of a retard.
