an old folks home that had an emphasis on technology, giving residents the
ability to work on tech projects. honestly I think it would be helpful not
just for their brains, but also for their enjoyment. Programming is fun!

@user-162 only if those behind the change of leadership do not have the
support of the educated. essentially... only evil people who have no ties to
morality or justice would eliminate their political opponents.

every burden my heart bears is a scar from ancestry that I am slowly healing
for the good of posterity.
all souls deserve to chart their own course. agency is intrinsic to their
nature, so therefore they must never be forced to relinquish any choice. how
many yearn to be eaten? become vegetarian, noobs. or are you such simple gods?

luckily for humanity, we don't necessarily have to all realize it. Our true
nature shines forth through the law of averages, and we've long ago hit the
escape velocity required to reach the bright future even if we only did 51% as
good as those who came before us.
All therapy is healing the wounds of our ancestors for posterity. Similarly,
all kindness is mending a rift in the heart of another. And we, as humans,
can't help but heal.

our stems are grown from the same nutrients, the same soil, the same climate
but we blossom differently, and we should live in an ecosystem
co-interactively.
I don't really use labels that much. Hence why I clarified in the original
post. I think they're primarily useful for academic purposes, not for
organizational ones.
At the end of the day, people are people, and we meet and greet in much the
same way.

The question is:
- "Can AGI be used for good, or is it destined to enforce power
structures? Can we find a way to use it to help humanity rather than to
oppress it?"
My answer is - YES, it can be used for good, NO it is not destined to
enforce power structures, and YES we can use it to help humanity rather than to
oppress it.

@user-252 kinda makes me think we need another layer between state and
federal. or would three be too many? four if you count local, which frankly
suffers from the same problem. I mean, how many people go to city council
meetings? how many city council meetings actually matter? Idk never been /shrug

you can usually blow an insect off of you easier with a breath than with a
slap or a slam.
only truly evil foes like mosquitos deserve such a fate.
don't try it against spiders, because their fangs are naturally pointed down
but blowing is better
they won't suffer any harm
also it's often easier because the bugs don't cooperate when you try to put
them on a paper-thin platter.

you can even design it as you go, making it do slightly adjacent uses in
addition to what it currently does. for example:
https://github.com/gabrilend/r-mail is a reference implementation with some
ideas for how to design some specific parts. make sure you go through it
yourself though, so you understand how it works. don't worry, the source-code
files are numbered like the table of contents [chamber of commerce] in a story
or book.

The problem with the past is it exists only in our Write Only Memory. Once you
remember it, you only remember the last time you remembered it. Ah, if only
our records were immutable! Surely that wouldn't bring about its own

Yeah, but, as it takes shape we can learn how to kill it.
So, the more we learn of it's new shape, the more confident we can be.

the image they posted is alarming. in reality there is much more space between
each satellite, enough to have such a minor impact on magnetic fields. If
anything It'd push CMEs and other electro-magnetic phenomenon away from earth,
as our gravitational surface is now wider.
