if someone bombed a DoD school in Okinawa and killed a bunch of American 4th graders, that would be a war crime.

The murder of Iranian schoolchildren is a war crime.

He was a good guy. So it goes.

it's stupid because it inherently means accepting the silicon valley line on AI.

"the left" is like ten people. AI skeptics are most of the country. because we're well aware there are certain specific things the tech can do but ZERO evidence it's a multi trillion dollar industry

Worf would grind it to a halt since he would insist to marry the ghost and refuse to divorce no matter how unhappy the marriage would get. Then he would find a way to erase the ghost's memories as a way out. No one would ever be allowed to talk about it after that.
