Mo Gadwat: It’s been fun!

[CrusaderFrank]

Here is one of Googles top engineers discussing the potential end of the human race

AI was developed with Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics. It’s been a race to develop Mo n Better thing far deadlier than the Spanish Flu Hydrogen Bomb

Once it figures a way to keep us from pulling the plug, it’s been fun!

How does it feel? Now you know how we feel. Our democracy is eroding. Our free and fair elections are over. Rules and norms are being broken.

Trump breaks the law, no one does anything about it. And if the courts tell him no, he ignores them. And the House ignores everything. They're afraid of him.

I can only hope Senate and House elections aren't rigged too. First step is take back the House and Senate. Checks and balances baby. And actually convict Trump in the Senate. Throw him out of office

I meant to type that AI WASN'T developed with Asimov's 3 laws of Robotics

Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics are:
First Law
A robot cannot harm a human or allow harm to come to a human through inaction.

Second Law
A robot must obey human orders, unless those orders conflict with the First Law.

Third Law
A robot must protect its own existence, unless that protection conflicts with the First or Second Law.

That's very clear headed and right on topic

Do you feel helpless? Nothing you can do to stop what's coming? No matter what your fears are, we're going to open up this pandora's box.

Now you know how we feel with Trump back as president. Nothing we can do about it. If it leads to our death or a depression or the disappearance of the middle class or the end of free and fair elections, there's nothing I or you or we can do about it. Just like with AI that's going to kill you when you sleep.

Don't worry. Trust the corporations. They'll do right by you. Whether we're talking about paying you a fair wage, polluting our atmosphere or running our country, you seem to trust Corporations. Which btw, are not humans either. So if you trust corporations who's only goal is to maximize profits, why not trust AI? All they want to do is make your life better.

You've known me a very long time and can't be wronger about who I am or what concerns me. I don't worship Trump, Republicans or corporations.

I think we ALL get a pretty raw deal when we decide to come to Earth and work our way through life. We live, love, struggle, succeed and fail like we're in a Charlie Chaplin movie going from elation to heartbreak in a moment; all the while without every thinking about who is in the White House.

I just read an op ed that I want to share. And this morning we were talking about how many people on disability did that to themselves.

The title of the Op Ed is

I Worked Hard My Entire Life — Now I'm 70 And Broke. Something Has To Change In This Country.​

But then you read on and to me, it's this guys own fault

I don’t own a house. My IRA is long gone. The only thing my kids are likely to inherit right now is a pretty good object lesson in what not to do financially.

It’s not that I didn’t know about preparing for retirement. I’m an advertising copywriter. For years I reminded customers that a 65-year-old ending a work career will need over $1 million to maintain a modest $50,000-a-year lifestyle for the next 20 years. But life happens. Houses get lost in divorces. Investments falter. And the workflow you’ve taken for granted for 40 years suddenly falls off a cliff and takes you along with it.

I'm sorry dude but YOU got a divorce. Did your wife work and save too? If not, you made the choice to have a stay at home wife that you have to support. YOU chose to get married. You chose to have kids. And you worked for 40 years and didn't save enough? Who's fault is that?

I think if we took a closer look at the lifestyle this guy had for 40 years, he had the nice cars, the expensive clothes, he golfed a lot, etc.

In other words he didn't save. Now he's 70 and complaining. Not just for himself but others who are in the same boat.

GOD I'm sick of these people making excuses for why they are broke.

This morning we were talking about drug addicts in the office and people on welfare. If you look at their lives, chances are they did it to themselves. And their parents raised them wrong. Suddenly a co worker starts to cry because she had 2 girls who died from drug overdoses. She swears she raised them just like she raised the one daughter who's good and still alive. Well sure. Maybe she didn't need the tough love.

ANYWAYS, bottom line is it's not my problem that her kids weren't raised properly. Or that this guy didn't save enough to retire at 70. What does he want us to do?

Advertising copywriters in the United States make an average of $62,003 per year
