Yes. Which is a big reason for the switch from GSM, which broadcast voice in the clear and could be picked up by any mediocre ham radio operator, to encrypted channels.

I think a more likely purpose for these spies is to collect dirt on domestic political actors and to provide back-channels to foreign governments that are secure from monitoring from the US government.
You mean, like the Clinton Foundation?
Both of these might put the spies at risk of criminal liability in the US, but the people and institutions they'll piss off are generally not the ones that go around ordering hits.
We've seen Trump devolve more power BACK to Congress than any President in recent history (if ever). The whole DACA thing. Listen to what the President actually said, and not what Rachel keeps whispering in your ear. He said that is a rule for Congress to make. It is not a power that the President has to implement.
The Waters of the United States issue was a clear power grab by Obama. It doesn't matter where you stand on the EPA. That was clearly a power grab. Trump has been trying to reverse that and push any decision back to Congress.
There are plenty of other examples, described by writers more eloquent than I, but, they don't fit your agenda...so, there's that.
I think history shows that the Democrats chose the path of not passing any budget at all. Nothing beats plausible deniability in politics. "Nobody knows who shot Santa. Here's a toy, kid."
This is the crux of the singularity problem. People wax eloquent about how this new computer intelligence is going to become self-aware and take over the world, but to this point very few, if any, ever give the newly devised AI a motive. If it is going to be "better", what will that look like? How will it be measured?
Every signal is embedded in noise; it doesn't matter the some people are awarded decision-making power when they don't deserve it—under capitalism, those fools will squander their privilege away on bad bets, distributing their decision-making power in the process, and saving society at large from their further bad choices.
That is a coherent reply. Nicely done.
Now, what happens when those currently possessing large amounts of capital decide that the rest of us are somehow undeserving of the opportunity to amass capital? That is, they squander half of their decision making power, but then decide that they are entitled to a do-over. What happens when they decide that their capital is worth more than that of others? That is, they decree that Appalachian wood is worth much less than New York real-estate, and since they've amassed enough capital, they can make that decision outside the confines of the market.
I'm more anti-government than most, but you seriously have to realize that in the real world market oriented solutions only work when there is a real market. They break down when they are distorted by massive capital.
My wife removes tattoos for a living. The laser is tuned to color of the pigment, so it selectively "burns" out just the tattoo. Dark skinned people take it on the chin in this case, because the laser has to be used on a lower setting or burn out the skin pigment.
You can, of course, reverse the decision to resuscitate with a bed pillow, but how do you reverse the spending decisions.
If I had $50k to will to my children, I'd want it to go to them. Not to the futile effort of keep me producing CO2 in a multi thousand dollar a day intensive care hospital bed. It's not a death wish. It is an acknowledgement of the reality that my days on this blessed Earth are limited, and that I've gotten all the good use out of this body.
Conceptually, a jet sucks air, heats it, then blows it out the back. A hair dryer is a jet. . . a crappy, low thrust, and inefficient one, but a jet nonetheless. All a high-bypass system does is suck more air which it doesn't heat quite as much. The bypass is just MORE exhaust. It is still all F=ma, with the bypass air being weighted to more 'm' and the "exhaust" air being weighted to more 'a'.
Every candidate is a write in, and must be legibly spelled correctly to count. If you can't be bothered to learn who is running for the race, how can you be bothered to learn their stances on the issues or how those stances will influence society?
Doubtful. LTL (less than load) carriers already have a spoke and hub system. Getting several truckloads going in the same direction at the same time would cause to much of a delay for customers ("What do you mean my package has to sit on the dock for three weeks until you have five truckloads going that way?")

Taking it is not the right analogy.

Please have it learn to play politics, so we can....
Why would you expect 99% unemployment? This AI will never be able to:
-fix your plumbing
-rack you servers
-move your furniture
-change your spark plugs
-etc, so forth, and so on.

Nope. Definitely not like the Clinton Foundation.

You have a strange definition of "conspiracy theory". Hint: It takes more that just being ignored by MSNBC.

So, change the goal. The machine has to have a purpose programmed into it. Make the purpose to optimize the freedom of all men.
-A starving man isn't free.
-A freezing man isn't free.
-A poisoned man isn't free.
Sure thing. I'll get right on it. But, first...
define "better"

Netflix is kinda thin on :
- anything over five years old
- anything being actively marketed or recently in movie theaters
- tentacle porn
You must be one of those softy millennials. Around here, we tattoo our own chests with our pocket knives.

Make the hospital bill just as reversible, and I'll agree with you.
You can, of course, reverse the decision to resuscitate with a bed pillow, but how do you reverse the spending decisions.

With Natalie Portman's grits in your pants.
And a phone that you could beat someone to death with, because you didn't own it. You rented it from AT&T, the ONLY phone company.
Pretty sure I've been in a car with manual windows (and manual transmission, even!) in the last year.
Been in one? Hell, I bought one earlier this year.
When I was a child I WAS the remote, you insensitive clod!!

At that point, what is the advantage over the current tanking system?
That is what Trump is for. Yes, it is ok if he goes out to sea with the rest of the swamp.
There's a simpler solution.
Blank ballots.
