I agree that “AI for governments” is much more accurate, just saying that diametrically opposed doesn’t really capture the relationship between the two concepts well

The only way we can do something is if these actions become deeply unpopular - which they currently aren’t, still about 43% of the population are totally onboard.

All we can do is wait for the empire to tumble enough until people without empathy become personally affected and turn sour. My guess is it won’t take the full 4 years.

Correct, it speeds up latency in best case scenario, and falls over in worst case scenario. Randomly sharded keys give a more consistent performance.

Yes but if that machine with sequential data receives 100x the traffic of other machines, it can be worse than splitting this traffic evenly across all available machines.

“Creating jobs” only makes sense if funding those jobs provide actual value that wouldn’t exist otherwise. You can “create jobs” by making people dig holes and fill them up, but you’re just wasting your population’s productive time - you would be better off by just giving those people money for nothing, some of them might just do something useful in the newly created free time.

I’d argue that pumping gas overall provides very low value.

Does it need to be that novel of a UX?

If you want to know what some code does, just select it & hit a keyboard shortcut (or right click and choose explain from menu).

If you want AI to write code for you, write a comment starting with a specific word, it suggests the implementation and you can choose to accept & replace the comment with it.

The two-party problem is directly caused by first past the post election system - I’d like to see data from other countries, my guess is party plurality is as strong as ever there.

Agreed - I have been doing the bare minimum by avoiding Marvel and Star Wars, but people simply seem to love franchises.
