Pondered it. Sorry. We're going to have YUGE funeral. Can't avoid it. Not enuf on the right publically repudiate him.

His left behinds will ensure it in order to make maga think that THEY are his only natural successor for their loyalty.

Wait until you see his demand for his tomb on the Mall

Given everything was based on it's success ... I think he'll find reality a problem

Drove through a short sharp rainstorm, or a blinding winter sun, or a snow squall the other day. Sure glad he's not intending to adding anything to his robots but sight.

Nothing says 'must have' technology then attempts to shove it into every use case.

I recall being told that very thing about learning Japanese and writing code. 40 years later and the Japanese don't "own our country!!" and Ai is about to eliminate coding as anything but a hyperspecialization.

I guess the future's never that far away, huh?

listening to the greatest discovery has me rewatching TOS. The opening of The Man Trap shows the world the show's most important character, the Enterprise. Of course. But the scene after that ...this is what they opened with.

It's a pretty strong stmt of intent.

I'd LIKE to think there was some method to it but I believe that it's just he's walking around tripping balls he'll see someone or something that pops a boner and he whacks it there and then and tries finishing on them/it. Leaves it to his bodyguard to write them a check and make them sign a nda

read a lot of scifi from golden age to yours. A lot of it - robots. I sometimes think the most realistic overall human response to ai will be a Robots of Death scenario, master/slave.

Even with no sentience in the slave, what it does to how the masters think, we should get to decide if we want that
