You like living in the danger zone don't you?

While your idealism is enviable, it's also very nieve.

Our environment has a lot to do with it too, like what we're born into. Billie Eilish's parents were both actors with a very limited amount of success. She's not a nepo-baby by any definition of the word but she had parents who supported her passion and a have few connections. I don't know what your situation growing up was like but I can take a guess and say that your parents said to you what my parents said to me when I said I wanted to be a rockstar. "You can certainly try, but most people who do don't get very far." They were right of course. You can cut yourself a little slack, life is hard.

Where are you talking about and comparing to what? Cause I see a lot of people dying in the streets because of mental illness or drug addiction when I take the subway to work. We don't throw them away like ancient Sparta but we definitely don't come close to providing the services they need to the things they need to begin to get off the street. Cause the solution now is put the homeless in prison and that's going just fine right? ...Right?

Maybe not today and maybe not every AI but maybe some AI in the near future will have it's data sources made explainable. There are a lot of applications where deploying AI would be an improvement over what we have. One example I can bring up is in-silico toxicology experiments. There's been a huge desire to replace as many in-vivo experiments with in-vitro or even better in-silico to minimize the number of live animals tested on. Both for ethical reasons and cost savings. AI has been proposed as a new tool to accomplish this but it's not there yet. One of the biggest challenges to overcome is making the AI models used in-silico to be explainable, because we can not regulate effectively what we can not explain. Regardless there is a profits incentive for AI developers to make at least some AI explainable. It's just not where the big money is. To which end that will apply to all AI I haven't the slightest idea. I can't imagine OpenAI would do anything to expose their data.

While I agree with your position, I can't agree with your violent rhetoric. A lot more needs to be done to combat climate change and misinformation. Taking literal pounds of flesh would change something but not the climate just us.

Basically yeah. Once the floor buckled everything it supported did too, meaning a mind boggling amount of mass started moving and there's no way to stop that much mass from falling at that point.

It says "Jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams." Which is true depending on the beam, but the steel beams in the WTC didn't need to melt to fail. They just needed to be heated up to a point their yeild strength is lower than the weight of the building above it and physics takes over from there.

Honestly my first thought when I saw this was that it had to be some type of homemade tool for car repairs. Car mechanics will make a tool out of anything if it gets the job done.

I was a cashier at a department store decades ago, the answer is no. When I started I'd judge people on their purchases, after a few shifts I couldn't care or remember anything anyone got.

The misunderstanding isn't yours, it's the general publics understanding of the legal system and it's processes. Which has been misinformed by decades of American criminal dramas like Law and Order, CSI, and NCIS. No one in this thread will go to rich people court like Trump gets to, we all get regular court if we get the privileged right to a court date. So when misinformed Trump supporters hear the judge ruled from the bench they see an overreach. When Trump's legal team presented such a bad defense and showed a complete disregard for the court and it's ruling in their opinion it wasn't his team who did a bad job, but a judge who never gave him a chance.
