As bad as I think our extremist two party system is, Brazil is proof it could be so much worse

Speaking of Shenzhen? If you do nothing else today? Watch this. And yes, it's a genuine video taken just this week. It's been going around the Chinese-language internet ecosystem, but I got the clanker to burn in English subtitles.

I'm more of a skeptic than a doomer when it comes to AI.
This is not the first technology that has promoted apocalypticism and anxiety about the future.
It'll be disruptive, but I think we'll make it through ok, though some of us better off than others

Ah bud...you seem like a well informed dude. But you are missing this one. She was my rep in high school. She's had her tentacles in all sorts of things for years. NO ONE in my hometown is surprised... She's got a mobster mentality
