this is absolutely correct:i think a big challenge is that american unilateralism has been the default setting for the vast majority of conservatives and liberals in Congress and any attempt to dismantle it faces the challenge that a lot of people don't *want* to have multilaterialism

the weirdest thing about this debate, which is almost certainly due to negative polarization, is that the pro-AI position *should* be "no, its not conscious, it is just a marvel of engineering that has produced a vastly more effective computer program"

More proof of my schtick that the fundamental mode of journalism is information that appeals to the interests of the reader (and that MSM totally fails that). Also woowwwwwww this is awesome

I knew many Dems would still fall for it but I didn’t expect as many people on here to fall for it as I’ve seen.

I don't think they are but I also don't see the appeal of doing ruleslawyering atm. Like I agree on the merits with these ppl that it's not a "war crime" given that we are in "a state of war" and that the "war itself is illegal" but like....death to amerikkka and all that.

I didn't read that much of that kind of sci-fi but I did do nothing but read until middle school, and then I did *almost* nothing but read until college.
