@JustGrist Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk say human population not nearly big enough: ‘If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time a thousand Mozarts’

We probably have a thousand Mozarts now, but they are stuck working in an Amazon warehouse.

#AI bros have lost billions of $$ in a crusade to justify their fever dreams. They need to steal copyrighted materials. They need nuclear #fusion. They need all our drinking water. Now #Microsoft wants to re-open the #ThreeMileIsland #NuclearPowerPlant that caused communities to take potassium iodide in 1979 to protect their thyroid glands.

All this so we can have real-time analysis of cat poop.

They warned that #AI would lead to the extinction of humanity. Listen to them.

@tomiahonen Private citizen Trump is building not only civil cases for theft of intellectual properties, but criminal cases for things like violating the Logan Act in negotiating with Netanyahu. He and his campaign are so proud of their illegal activities that they regularly say aloud that these are just an exercise of their "liberty", a keyword in many RW declarations.

@br00t4c Are they sure it is Ludicrous Speed or is it not perhaps Plaid.

@georgetakei Even with excellent handwriting or typing, such notes are too often mysteries. What did I want to do with a blue zebra? What was that all about?

@GottaLaff
Vindman is correct.

2,203,718 registered Iowa voters:

Democrats 471,010
Republicans 594,533
Libertarian 8,550
Unaffiliated 442,290

110,000 Iowa Republicans voted yesterday, 51% for Trump

So 1 in 6 Rs went out for caucuses, and 50% of those voted for Trump, or 56K ppl
Less than 10% of Rs, and 2.5% of Iowa registered voters.

Also, turnout was poor: 110,000 yesterday as compared with 186,000 in 2016.
