They hooked some scientists up to some electrodes, picked the ones that glowed the brightest, and then made them take an IQ test. The AI scored higher. Some have suggested the scientists may have scored higher if they were removed from the electrodes first.

Yes, which is one of the many many reasons I’ll never be a billionaire (unless the currency devalues by more than three orders of magnitude).

Looks like Apple should have made sure their precision engineered hinge was also accurate engineered.

So China has already gotten ahead of the US on AI…

Eye for an eye isn’t bullshit. It’s saying to always make sure the punishment is proportional to the crime. Before that you’d get people being punished much more harshly than their crime could possibly justify. We still do, of course, but we used to as well.

Abolish private prisons. Because there shouldn’t be a profit motive involved in housing inmates.

And yes, abolish the death penalty. Because the state can’t be trusted to get it right, and it’s cheaper to just lock people up for the rest of their lives if necessary.

Keep the duress code written down on a piece of paper in the phone case, under the phone.

There’s a chance that someone at ICE might manage to meet their insane quotas if they deport that data center…

The farming corporations are mostly family farms. The average small farmer is a millionaire with a six figure income. I recommend looking at the youtube channels “Farm to Taber” and “Farming While Beige”. I haven’t found where the former talked about the More Perfect Union videos yet, but the latter posted the following:

Wasn’t Reagan the one who initially implemented California’s restrictive gun laws?

And, of course, we all know which president said “take the guns first, go through due process second” during his first term. But, to be fair, Obama’s been living rent-free in that guy’s head for more than a decade…

Ignore pretty much anything farming related from More Perfect Union - they tend to provide farm lobby propaganda without actually fact checking it. I’ve become much more sceptical of their other coverage based on how bad that segment of it seems to be.
