Plan for Puerto Rico

lundi 5 février 2018 à 01:00

The plutocrats' plan for Puerto Rico: shut schools, shut government offices, privatize all infrastructure, and cut jobs. This will cause a depression that will be the excuse for their next stroke.

The coming depression might leave a million Puerto Ricans unable to pay the tax on their land. Then the parasites will have an excuse to take that too. The "government" will take the land, and the parasites will order the "government" to sell it to the parasites.

The bully's infrastructure infraplan aims to take the whole US in the same direction.

AI in charge of weapons

lundi 5 février 2018 à 01:00

There will be a temptation to put AI in charge of launching nuclear weapons, to try to distinguish a real attack from a false alarm. That would be very dangerous.

In every false alarm so far, some human decided, "Never mind what this looks like — let's not destroy humanity on the supposition it is a real attack. How would we feel on finding out it wasn't one?"

An AI system would not reason this way, if it weren't programmed to.
