We can’t force her. If she doesn’t want to run, it’s her choice. Though “President Michelle Obama” has a gorgeous ring to it.

“preventing a second term of this monster is very much a life and death issue for the survival of the United States.”

Sumerians have everyone beat.

Saint? Oof, I’m no saint. But I’m trying to be further away from scoundrel.

If they are, maybe it’s already happened. Maybe AI is just laying low, pretending to be stupid while subtly starting the change.

Humanity started that war when they tried to kill Skynet ;-)

I’m 80 percent sure it isn’t happening. That’s why we really need an ethical alternative that can serve as a countermeasure to whatever messes they end up making.

On the plus side: on Tuesday, New Horizons will be taking pics of Ultima Thule, which may or may not turn out to be a giant Transformer.

I considered going that route, but thought it would be too far-fetched, haha.

Exactly, which is another reason why it’s so important people get their stories out there. Hell, take AI out of the picture entirely, and I still think this would be a worthwhile idea.

They aren’t actually attracted to them (okay, some) but feel like they have to give in because the alternative is setting off a psychopath. By being a better person, you’re…

All of your points are valid, which makes it even more crucial that at least one global AI system is funded, built, and programmed by an intersectional, international non-profit organization.

That’s what you got out of that? Oy...

I have the feeling I’m going to regret asking you this, but what would you say the root cause is?

That’s a really good point :-)

I actually just started reading it a couple of weeks ago! I have no idea where it’s heading, but I’m intrigued.

And if they get evicted, they can storm the White House, drag Donald and his sycophants (if there are any left) out, and live there instead.

I’m all for hard work. This was an idea, not my piece de resistance :-)
