That gets much more difficult when AI is used to empower the police/surveillance state that serves the interest of capitalists.

Meanwhile, in functional countries this would be a non-story, because everyone would have guaranteed access to tax funded medical care already.

That describes my entire life since adolescence… wondering what kind of society we could have had if we werent governed by sociopaths

Pretty sure thats already a thing in the UK actually.

Don’t let them or the media convince you that their actions are passive. They have had many opportunities to put the brakes on this administration, and every time they deliberately side with Trump. Every Republican congressperson is complicit with his agenda.

Great points, I think you’re on to something.
I think the old saying “Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity” doesn’t apply when malice and corporate interests are in alignment. Now I’m curious to dig into who actually wrote the bill, and who are they financially supported by…

Already contacted my assembly person to oppose it. I get the intent behind it, but theres no way im going to ask the government for permission to use my own hardware.
I dont even own a 3D printer yet, but I wouldn’t want to be subject to such a bad and dumb law if and when that changes.

If it ever came to armed conflict, not having guns means you lose by default. Obviously having a gun does not make you invincible, and it’s a lazy strawman to imply that is what people are thinking.

Then there are also so-called centrists and politically disengaged folks. Sometimes they need to be reminded exactly who these charlatans are, so there can be no excuse for confusing one side of the political spectrum with the other.

“The ICE Office of Professional Responsibility will conduct a thorough investigation.”

I think we’re all a little too old for fairy tales here.

Dead men tell no tales. We’re pirates, remember?

Conversely, if a minority is losing out, then you are WINNING!

Come on, this has to be satire, right?

Well said.

Good point! If they are going to use up our resources anyways, its probably best they are as inefficient and incompetent as possible. Plus, there’s the added benefit that the prosecutor and agency have further damaged their credibility - possible ammo for future defense cases.

“GW per year” and “TW per year” is nonsense.
Watts is a unit of power, which is energy per second.
Im not sure Musk even understands what a Watt is, he just wants to sound smart.

The evil and capable ones tend to be the wealthy behind the scenes guys who know better than to have their name and image associated publicly with the kind of heinous policies they want to implement. They pay for the evil incompetent guys to be the face and take the heat.
