There's an axiom that we become an amalgam of the 5 people we spend the most time with. Their likes become our likes, their wants become our wants, and their blind spots become our blind spots. So who are the 5 people your AI engine is hanging out with the most? #/?

Mallrats 2, but make Werner Herzog direct it.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

The Trump administration's weaponization of the executive office has basically hinged on not going directly after people who literally fundraise on the government being weaponized against them. Congresspeople pray every night to get wrapped up in bullshit that gets them on Sunday morning talk TV. 1/

See, AI powers the economy by buying products because banks give AI companies money in hopes of future profit because people give banks money with interest...what happens if people stop giving banks money because they simply...can't?

"We have shut down the government because the ACA subsidies are unsustainable and we will have another vote to fix them," was the GOP's line throughout the shutdown.
Turns out they're not fixing them, and they're not even going to vote on it. The GOP has completely lost the plot.

I did not see this coming.
Also, I think when he says "He" is extending it, I'm pretty sure that means he's ordering his GOP congress people punk ass minions to do it. (if I remember from my 10th grade civics classes.)

Enlisted personnel are given orders that, taken in a certain light, can result in illegal activity. You don't get the best enlisted leadership in the world without them understanding disciplined initiative to achieve commander's intent within the bounds of laws and ethics. 1/
BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?
McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took
(Not a no!)

SANTA:
You said: “I ain’t going back there”

I went a few months of struggling to put gas in my car or insurance on it and was bored of being a punk in the DC sprawl, so I enlisted. Turns out I'm good at logic puzzles so I kept passing tests which got me into cyber operations.
