"There is no *useful* difference between "true" artificial intelligence, and what we have today"

What we have now is not intelligent, AGI works actually be intelligent. What we have now cannot be trusted to give us useful answers. AGI can not be trusted not to eliminate us for not being useful. They are wholly different things.

Look on the bright side, we all have it now

I have no personal experience of doing that, but I have drawn things on the edges of the pages when the book was closed...

I used to think the end of America was going to be the worst thing that could happen. Now I'm just hoping my country (Canada) can get out of the way of what has to be the biggest own-goals in history. I mean, how is Trump even allowed out of a dementia ward, let alone in charge of the most powerful nation on Earth? Why did so many Americans think he was somehow better than someone who can actually string coherent sentences together?

Ah yes, the Basil Fawltification of America, but now the Major is the President, and Manuel is being shivved in El Salvador.

"or the adults that made an informed decision in Election Day"

Wait, that's not what happened.

The people who voted for him can be asked why, and their answers are either racist in which case they were informed about Trump, or economic in which case they were not...

You can sort the glass with automation now though, so the big problem with glass is really breakage. The broken glass could however be mixed, it would produce a lower quality brown glass but no doubt we could find a use for that.

The search traffic goes up, but the click through rate goes down, because people got an answer they accepted from Google. Good for Google, bad for everyone else in multiple ways.

Not to mention all the news networks softballing his obvious lies and pretending like he was confused or mistaken when he said terrible things... Fox and Fiends are the major culprits, OAN and what not obviously, but most news outlets share in the responsibility. And let's not forget WaPo and NYT, the latter of which coddled the original Nazis and then went on to coddle the new Nazis.

Space has the benefit of getting humanity off planet and working towards inhabiting others instead r being able to travel to other solar systems.

Don't worry. Our fearless DOGE leader has it all figured out. We'll go to Mars because someday, the Sun will destroy Earth when it swells in size. Magically, this same Sun, when it swells in size, will not touch Mars.

I'm on mobile so I have no idea what your comment said but there seems to be a cadre of Indians with mod points who defend certain ideas and persons reliably.
