“We think this is the best that we could do at the moment, and it’s certainly a major, major, major step forward from giving unilateral and total power to a handful of multi-billionaires,” Sanders said.

I'm as liberal as they come, but fuck Bernie this time. This is just a thinly veiled attempt at pushing off half the private AI debt onto the public. Once those companies fail, we'll be stuck with the bill.

I've got trillion dollar plan, not quite 7 trillion...
Step 1: Capture Elon
Step 2: Wring him out like a giant wet towel.

That's ignorant. Pandora's Box is open. Genie out of the Bottle, all that stuff.
It ain't going back in. Even if this iteration dies.

we can murder pandora, we can close the box
ElbowDeepInYou
No. You can't.
The tech is out there, and open source. Anyone and everyone can work with it. Every single nation in the world has projects developing it.
Please actually activate some neurons.

It obviously does. People not thinking for themselves is going to be disastrous. An entire generation is going through school without learning critical thinking skills.
We're fucked.
That changes absolutely Jack Shit Zero about what I previously said. The fact that you didn't address it at all.. Well, you already know, you just want to be a jack-ass about it.
