Yes, and if you teach this to your friends and children, the big companies will eventually adapt to what the market is offering vs trying to dictate the market

I think you are vastly overestimating the productivity of renewables right now. They are a smart investment to augment what we have, but to take non-renewables offline and to build enough renewables to reach the levels of modern nuclear, we will need an additional decade... Assuming the tech in renewables continues to make massive gains. There just aren't enough skilled workers, and you can't run these people non-stop to produce enough windmills to meet demand.

Renewables are only 20% of the US total, nuclear is 18% (and the US is the highest producer of nuclear worldwide at 30% of the world's total), and the remaining ~60% is fossil fuels.

Yes hello I am Normal Citizen. Where do we go for the money?

Which part was carefully chosen wording, and where are your citations?

I especially like hiding the apps the system won't let me delete. Now that bootloaders are pretty much impossible, the next best thing is to hide and disable those stupid apps. My last phone came with Facebook Twitter Yahoo! NFL and Draft Kings as permanent space sucking native apps, so I hid them all and revoked all permissions

Wait.. Do you not care about your own safety? When all other factors are equal, you'd prefer to just be dead?

That would be the augmented part and the AI. ANYTHING that presents a potential hazard already takes a vehicle out of automated driving in most models, because after a few Teslas didn't stop people started suing

Oddly enough, that could save humanity from "extincting" ourselves. If AI had all of those listed capabilities, humanity would be unable to contain it. AI would become our God, but with abilities like that, it would truly be a God. AI would be as scary and obscure as the Christian God is already, but it would be something tangible that we could interact with and worship.

A God that even atheists could love, which would also solve our problems. A parent we can continually ask "why?" that would never get annoyed, and always have a complete answer. Imagine having every single why/what-if question humanity can dream up being instantly answered.

I, for one, welcome our new robotic overlords.

AI could merge with humanity and we would become Borg-like, and become gods ourselves.

Or it could see us as a virus like the terminator movies and want to eliminate us.. So we get The Matrix.

In every scenario AI, given enough leash and development, will change humanity forever

One side thinks he's a traitor to Trumpism for not helping to steal the election, and the other sees him as a wuss for covering for Trump. So both sides see him as a wimp and not fully reliable.

I did not know you could do that! Thank you!

I'm going to get a pet beaver and name it God, so I can yell "God, dam it!" with impunity.

Marge scares me. She looks neolithic. Boob is just a dumb parrot doing what she's told by her handlers, but Marge appears to believe what she's spewing.
