Ram prices skyrocketed because a few turbotards with more money than god saw a text generation algorithm generate text and this collectively made them cream their pants.

    SLS is a congressionally mandated jobs program.

    NASA was forced to use existing shuttle infrastructure instead of developing new hardware with partners. If they had been given freedom, I’m sure we wouldn’t even need SpaceX for anything.

    This is just more proof that billionaires are leaches that don’t actually do anything.

    Musk supposedly runs like 6 companies, yet he had time to gut the federal government a couple years ago, and now he has time to plan the future of warfare?

    There are unemployed people with less free time then this parasite.

    That’s a lot of words just to say you’re an idiot that would rather offload important critical thinking skills to a piece of software that a rational person wouldn’t trust to provide a cookie recipe.

    I don’t understand why it has to be an immediate stop either.

    Just like how high speed chases never need to happen anymore.

    We have high resolution camera every where. Yes that’s its own problem, but there are there. We have video of shoplifting and people speeding. Just go to their house or send them a court summons. There’s no stakes with traffic violations or shoplifting. No life is in immediate danger until the police get involved. So just remove the police and let the courts figure it out.

    ?

    Fucking yes it would be better to put hundreds of billions of dollars every year into curing cancer/HIV/ Type 1 diabetes/alzheimers, literally any disease. Curing a major illness like those would actively help hundreds of thousands or millions of people around the world every year.

    What does AI help? My fucking manager in sending cryptic emails that raise more questions than answers?

    Dump a few hundred billion into disease research, or fusion power, or just into housing for all of us.
