And there is no reason ISPs couldn't just give all services the same priority. It would then be up to the customer to decide, according to what he wants to pay, if/what he wants to prioritize, latency, bandwidth, and so on.
"The central idea of the Internet is that every service has the same priority"
Right, VOIP from one company doesn't have priority over other VOIP services, streaming video from one company isn't prioritized over streaming from another, and so on.
"gun violence, home invasions, rapes, violent crimes"
Home invasions, gun violence or violent crimes, and I'm guessing rapes, tend to be more common in lower classes, on the other hand higher class crimes tend to be more dependent on capital expenditures.
"If the AI starts to evaluate, based SOLEY on data"
And the legal system is more lenient on higher classes, in general even for non victimless crimes. In other words the data is systemically biased, so the evaluation will be too.
I think the point was that even when police catch upper classes with illegal drugs they tend to be much more lenient.
Also of course, the bigger your property the less likely the police will become aware of a crime happening on it (and even if they do become aware they will tend to be more lenient).
"But hard to bias against who is committing the most gun violence, home invasions, rapes, violent crimes that actually impact those of us in regular society."
Still biased. Your list is avoiding violence and crimes from the higher classes.
Of course this isn't only a republican issue, it's also a problem with democrats. And anyone can see the allegiance of politicians who tend to vote for corporate interests over public interest (but finding out which measures are best adapted to gauge the swamp's depth might be a bit more complex).
"Half baked policies and laws that have no real end effect for the user shouldn't be allowed. We already have enough rules without more ineffective ones."
"Because any known physical process can be simulated in silicon"
So are you saying that all that is known, physical, and processional 'could be simul-ated' in silicon, and if it can't or if all isn't known, physical, and processional then biological entities have souls?

"How exactly does the free market decide that they don't want something that isn't available yet?"
The free-market doesn't decide, it's a hyperbolic and ideologically motivated expression used to refer to commercial exchanges.
"A computer trying to interpret and/or react differently based on how I feel is exactly the opposite of what I would like to have near me."
When computers start asking people to calm down, compucide numbers going through the roof.
"The government does not get to interfere in private property"
The government permits and manages the very existence of private property so of course they (we) get to say how it works.
No, it just depends on how you read it.

Did it now, it worked really well in many countries, I didn't know about Venezuela.

Yes, someone probably simply guessed someone's weak password.
That was uncalled for, I'm sorry, and I apologize for implying he was a womanizer.

Well, he hasn't dropped his pants yet.

"Half baked policies and laws that have no real end effect for the user shouldn't be allowed. We already have enough rules without more ineffective ones."
Yup, we need less bad rules and more good ones.
But the tactic is also showing in simple terms the extent of the republican shill mindset and the depth of the republican swamp.
"those driver assists can be a huge help for tired or inattentive drivers - so why not for truck drivers too?"
They can already test those. No need for a new law.
If I consider various definitions for some of the terms, I agree, possibly yes, and my last 'and' should have been an 'or'.
