  1. I'd say that the media has become increasingly protective of whatever flavor of politics they promote. They have sacred cows, beyond reproach or question.

    Those types of reporters are in favor of the partisan establishment, parroting official government statements and challenging next to nothing.

  2. Unfortunately, how self-aware AI will judge humans will likely be the same as how the programmers judge humans. A self-aware AI would likely harbor no sympathy for mankind and would see us as a plague on the world.

    My thought is that we should enlist a team of developers to create an AI that thinks humans are fantastic and awesome. Then, this human-loving AI could protect us, like how the Autobots protect us from the Decepticons.

  3. Shall not be infringed.

    Want to make something of that? Then lobby your state legislature to call a Constitutional Convention and try their luck there.

    All this is political theater otherwise. Hand-wringing about an "assault weapons ban"? Please. We had one of those in the 90s, when violent crime was at its peak. Do you at least acknowledge that?

    The film incorporates climate change into the plot. Smith explained: "That's one of the things that we kind of tapped, and it's true. I talked to so many storm experts, tornado experts, storm chasers, and rode around with some. Even the tornado season itself, because of climate change, what used to be tornado alley going through a certain stretch. It now extends so further east, and it's moving across, and the dates are wider, and the numbers are higher, and the storms themselves are more violent. So we did use elements of that just to shine a light on it, as well, the causes and effects of climate change"

     

    I'll save Bob the hassle.

    That "more frequent, more violent" claim isn't based on climate science. It's alarmist garbage.

    There have not been more tornadoes. There is a counter claim that a warming climate might actually suppress tornadoes from forming.

    There is also not any data that says that tornadoes are becoming more violent.

    However, it could shift when and where tornadoes occur. Like how they are more prevalent in the south than before.
