  4. despite the fact the premise of OP put it out there as a false dichotomy. AI is the new industrial robot. The 80s called and wants its blue collar scare tactics back.

  5. AI driving cars. Using RISC. https://www.theverge.com/2017/... I bet Space-X is also using RISC for a lot of their control software. Last I worked on anti-lock train brakes, we were using 68k... Your ignorance of how things really move is sad...

    One large difference between your concepts. Generally speaking of super heroes... they are individuals who have dealt with their own circumstances. Self Made. Not State made and then controlled.

    I don't think Google has enough clout to do this, but what could theoretically be done is send out the press release, then watch and see which of the 50 suspects starts to make some moves.

    It's only a misquote if you think I'm quoting from one source but am actually quoting from another.

    I agree with you statement about Al Queada. The problem is that the US largely still refuses to ask the deeper questions of 'why'. So goes the question on global warming and so goes the question on terrorists motives. It's a solved subject to one politician or another, but in reality they both deserve much more thought.

    I cheer for the people of Iran. May they reform their country though their own means without US meddling. If we do meddle it will likely turn out no better than North and South Korea.

    So in a nutshell, you and I couldn't have this conversation (if you call it that) in a world without money because it would be incapable of producing all of the technology that makes it happen?

    I took some liberties. Am I putting words in your mouth?
