I don't know that I want the current elderly generation to live longer. Can we hold off on this for.... Idk, say, 15 years until they all die off naturally?

I did an online one in the early days of the Internet, and scored a 137. I have zero faith it has any accuracy. My buddy also did it and got a 145, I believe his is above mine but still, no faith that the numbers are correct.

IQ tests are deeply and inherently flawed, usually based on the fact that you can both quickly read, understand the intent of the question, and respond with whatever the writer of the test feels is correct in a timely fashion.

And if you don't realize how much of what I just wrote is subjective based on lived experience, and specific parameters about you that have nothing to do with how intelligent you are, then congratulations, you're probably above average.

As the fifth of five people.... How did you know?

I hope the little guy got all fixed up.

AI is the embodiment of "oh no, anyways"

Seems pessimistic.

What about the people who can't afford to live and need to steal to eat? Those downtrodden because some rich CEO asshole decided to try to replace them with AI, and they lost everything being unemployed and having the price of everything shoot through the roof for no goddamned reason?

What about those people?

I'm not saying that there aren't people who steal to fund their addiction, but that's not the only motivator.

We're all humans.

This is my viewpoint too.

If I'm a witness to shoplifting, I'm not a witness to shoplifting.

Unless you're a kleptomaniac, you're probably not stealing because you want to. You're stealing because you have to.

Corporations have insurance, and they're not people; so if they lose some money in the transaction, I am unbothered.

I hear you, but 5% seems high for that.

Wayyyyyy more than that is wasted.

If you got into the country, what's to stop ICE from picking you up and sending you to a prison in another country?
