In the last decade, the gap between humorous shitpost and unironic conspiracy theory bs has shrunk rapidly. Like Poe's Law is a thing but now everything is simultaneously a shitpost and unironically held beliefs.

Might want to qualify that as if there's a magic/ special sword.

Counter point Star Wars. Magic powers, magic swords, rescuing princesses, chosen one prophesies.

Because they have lots of money and influence among the 18-35 demographic. Would I prefer if news corps didn't cover their every move and thought? Yeah I would, but unfortunately news featuring Musk and Swift gets clicks which drives advertising.

Yup the flour is very likely to contain e coli. The eggs are still a risk with salmonella but the e coli is a much greater and more potent risk

Nuclear is so ridiculously energy dense that there's no near future where we're in danger of running out of it and nuclear hopefully soon won't even need to rely on fissile materials, since we keep getting g closer and closer to getting fusion working.

And solar and wind and hydroelectric and other renewable are also great but they're variable. Sun only shines locally for so many hours per day, wind doesn't always come from the same directions or speeds, hydro is quite climate dependent, relying enough water to refill reservoirs.

I'm not saying we shouldn't be also building up renewables but every powersource has its limitations and making a mix of all of these to cover each of the downsides is our best bet.

I think op's yaaaaayyy was sarcastic.

But I'm with you, we should be reviving nuclear, maybe 3 mile Island would be a good starting point since I imagine there's a lot of stuff already there. Although if it's abandoned with no maintenance, there's probably a lot that's rusted out and needs to be replaced.

In your mind, what classifies as an assassinatiom attempt? What are the criteria that needs to be accounted for to consider something g an assassination attempt?

Math literally has everything to do with it. There are entire branches of mathematics dedicated to figuring out ideal voting systems.

Terrorism is actually a pretty simple but specific definition. Terrorists use unlawful violence and threats of violence to influence the government or an international governmental organisation, or to intimidate the public. They do this in pursuit of a political, religious, racial or ideological cause.

It doesn't take much money or many resources to engage in violence or even make threats. Certainly having money and resources at your disposal make you more effective but it's a rather low but still specific bar to cross to be considered a terrorist.

Data was also wasn't a replacement for human labor to enrich the capitalist class. I think AI would be cool if the tangible benefits made everyone's lives better rather than just lining the pockets of rich people.because they fan pay less on labor.

If you're not going to take the effort type "can a government use patents" into Google and look at the top link. It took me less than a minute to find that government using a patent is just baked into the patent system. There's not additional law around it. So it might be better to go the WD 40 route and never actually file a patent to the formula to avoid sharing the formula publicly.
