.. is to JUST F*** OFF! When AI is useful for a specific task or question, it is available to ask at that time. Do not shove it into word processing, browsing, images, or anywhere else it's not specifically invited.

Excellent suggestion! To do medical research on horrible, deadly diseases affecting other countries, bring the pathogens to the US so they can be studied here. There's hardly ever been a lab leak of deadly virii, right? Even better, when (or if) a cure is found, that can be sold back to the originating country because they won't have the infrastructure to develop/produce it themselves!

Anything environmentally-friendly-related is unsupported by government policy, and shows a disrespect for the President. Withdraw from climate accord, restart coal-fired power plants, and as for oil: "Drill, baby, drill!" We've had plenty of demonstrations of the current leadership 'influencing' those who go against their policies, including exclusion from any government contracts. I really can't see any US-based business investing in it, too risky. That's really a shame, because the climate damage will kill us if the current administration doesn't do it first.

No, it's only BUILT by a wanker ...

"the people come first. We prefer deleting the data." Apparently, you're in the minority. The current US government prefers deleting the people (will settle for throwing them out of the country), and the data is only useful if it supports that.

Foolish 'revolvers' incur debt, pay huge interest payments, never pay the balance off, always live beyond their means, and even run deficit budgets. We elect government officials to lead us and show us the way to do this properly, with larger numbers and unfathomable debt, but otherwise the same

Not yet. This term is a little more drastic than his last term, but he's only been at it less than two months so far.

Certainly can't argue that both the Orange guy and Musk are helping themselves to everything within reach ....

How can you use the touchscreen without taking your eyes off the road? Two tons of steel and glass moving down the road at 60 mph with the driver not looking where it's going is a bad idea. Distracted driving is even illegal in many jurisdictions, eyes-off-the-road is worse.

"Having large parts of the population dumb and essentially worthless is very concerning to me. They're liable to end up in a foreign (or domestic) meat grinder." No, they just vote Republican. Already did, in fact ...

Almost agree ... except the part where you say Trump/Musk is the end point. Even if you eliminate those two, more than half the country's voters think that way.

I know of someone with 37 felony convictions and no one seems to care; he's the number-two guy in charge of the country (his friend Elon is running the place).

"I think, therefore I am" - Rene Descartes ... However, he was surprised to also find that people who didn't seem to think, also seem to exist. He also couldn't think of a way to prove they were not really just figments of his imagination as well.

If you trust your government (or authority figures) and do as you're told, it's not much of a stretch to believe what the machine tells you, so I'd expect something like that in autocratic societies... sorry, no statistics to back that up, just opinion. If you have less trust in your authority figures, or a history of being lied to, I'd expect you to doubt AI as readily as you doubt everyone else. For those technically qualified to know what goes into AI, I'd expect the trust factor to be close to that for a calculator: trust the calculations, but not the projections or summations.

Trump is switching the US back to plastic straws, https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapnews.com%2Farticle%2Ftru... and https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbc.ca%2Fnews%2Fscienc... The obvious reason is that the mice were getting too smart, but after this he'll be smarter than they are (possibly). There really IS a strategy behind some of his moves!
