@Are0h
That bit about them creating a version of you that doesn't exist rings so true of US politics in general these days.

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm with you on it being pie in the sky at this point. I'd expect fusion power to be commercially viable before we have true AI (which will happen just before Teslas are truly self driving :P )
