The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Ormont, with due respect,

Not everything is a commercial issue. Humanity isn't. Life on earth isn't. Your US military procurement bigwig is talking her book. So, what do you expect???

Warfare is about to get interesting [real] because there are a lot of unethical and evil people in the world whose only interest is their own power. And now they are trying to corner the information universe so they can program and control the means and the enforcement against any human they target, not just another country.

Self-interest at that level is not interesting, its evil and must be stopped, whoever they are.

Education is a good place to start. AI is not intelligence... It's uber programming and algorithms for mass control by the few--who are human, flawed and self-interested. Let em develop some robo-cops, why don't we??? And give em every detail about our lives.

Hopefully, none of us inadvertently think any bad thoughts, huh?
