Employee compensation comes from capital. And employees are working at companies that provide robots, etc.

There's a return on capital than is not spent on employees. That reflects how much capital is growing and how much can be spent on employees in the future.

Maybe it should be possible for a parent to set a child age in a device.

Everyone else can stay anonymous.

I look forward to hearing why that won't work and what problems it will cause.

Just because intelligence evolved in people that find rights useful doesn't mean intelligence can only reside in a person.

Living things are driven by a need to reproduce. That's the only reason we exist. The only reason we have self interest.

A machine doesn't require self interest. There's no reason to implement it, except to show it can be done. And of course it can. There's just no practical reason to. It becomes less useful to us.

Of course it isn't. What it knows is many weeks old, except for what you tell it. Then it forgets everything you told it.

And it's just a model. It can have many exact copies. It has no life of its own. It doesn't know anything about where it is. It doesn't have sensory organs.

Your phone isn't alive either.

Glad to see a country be less foolish.

The more government controls, the more checks and balances evolve into paychecks and hidden bank balances.

Government can do a lot of things to you when it controls a lot of things.

And what government is doing is harder to see when it's doing millions of things.

I can solve a problem in 10% of the time. Dealing with an issue TODAY, instead of having to put it in the backlog.

It's often true. But not when it's easier to code than to explain.

That doesn't surprise me.

Our fingertips feel using low frequency sound generated by our fingerprints passing over things.

And, yet, railroads were privately created and operated before government got control of them.

Subways too.
