I remarked elsewhere that we may need a revolution, and certainly need a reformation. Our current enlightenment provides abundant guidance, if we can muster the courage to answer the call.
Republicans aren't republican; they oppose the very idea of a nation of laws and rights that apply equally to everyone. Nor are they conservatives, since they don't believe in nature conservation or respecting the sacrifices that our military personnel make. They are reflexive and compulsive anti-liberals; whatever liberals are for, they are against, and with a bitter vengeance.
The AI information is very worrisome, but would laws by Congress or any other nation really begin to control its development? Sure, new rules might help guide things, but North Korea certainly is not going to stop doing...whatever it is doing with this. And for that matter people sitting in figurative basements all over the world will continue to play with these programs. I'm not saying we're going to get to the point of "Terminator", or the even more horrible story it was based on (https://galacticjourney.org/stories/I_Have_No_Mouth_and_I_Must_Scream_-_Harlan_Ellison.pdf ) But once scientific and engineering knowledge is in the open you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. Look at how people are already misusing drones to interfere with commercial flights, firefighting operations and the like. When irresponsible people get their hands on new technology we have scary times.

Inappropriate image. U show a wimp stand-in holding a plate. A real Marine would have a killer face on.
Incompetence only exceeded by malicious malfeasance defines the current "administration". Thanks again for all that you uncover about them Thom!
