Boy, being smart sure ain't what it used to be.
"I think a guy who's made a career out of writing about meditation should explain to me — in ten pages — how to 'program' an AI to be compassionate and benevolent."
What the actual fuck even IS that? That's like "just science the shit out of it".
Damn, Sam. Get thee to a nunnery. And stay in your freaking lane, Jack, until you can teach your phone to do vipassana.

In olden days, of hunter-gather and early agriculture, when there wasn't enough to go around, people would spread what there was as best as possible. Some people would give up their portion to help those most vulnerable.
Here we have kabillionaires telling us we're poor because there isn't enough to go around, while they sit on a pile of _half_ the world's wealth, and say this from their towers, mansions, boardrooms and yachts.

Judge in Trump's NY fraud case pounds bench while warning about false statements
The judge overseeing the $250 million fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James against Donald Trump's Trump Organization reportedly pounded the bench multiple times on Friday as he warned lawyers for Trump about using false statements in business.
And what does one label a gov't that sanctions the murder of people in another country? Modi had better take a good long look in the mirror. All I see is projection.

I think Doogie Frod saw his poll numbers plummeting and is now madly backpeddling in hopes of staving off a major electoral defeat in the next election. I think you're too late Doogie.

@Cdn_Skeptic_Wm Remember kids, just because a person, even in a fancy hat, says they follow the teachings of my baby brother doesn't mean they're not full of crap and not really doing that!

This woman shot 5 people after being refused entry into a bar because she was trying to use someone else's ID. Sheer luck that she didn't kill anyone but this disregard for other people seems to be spreading. If you're from the Denver area and recognize her, please call.

Most experts who have opined say that the charges against Hunter Biden only go to a criminal trial if the gun was used in a crime. Hunter never even used it for anything. And the Supreme Court has ruled against making a gun charge such as the one facing Hunter a prison-time offense. Let’s face it, Weiss and the DOJ buckled under pressure from right-wing Republicans looking to sully his father with the association.Glad to see Hunter taking the offense.

Maren Morris says she's quitting country music, blames Trump era culture wars
Add to this the fact of the Church smuggling War Criminals out of Europe and there's a strong case to be made that the Vatican wasn't a "neutral" observer but an active participant in the Holocaust. Not just a criminal enterprise but a source of pure evil.
