Ever prone to the fallacy that you want me to reply to your opinions with my own, often differing, opinions.
No follow back. In fact, I block follow farmers.

These are the same guys hell bent on building AI automation to remove their dependency on the people for both labor and for security forces.

This concept is utterly vile and should be outlawed, whether this company has actually succeeded or not.

This doesn't come anywhere near serious analysis, and Foreign Affairs: YOU DO NOT NEED TO PUBLISH THIS UNSERIOUS JUNK.
Instead of arguing it's a terrible idea to threaten your neighbors, Abrams ends up arguing that the US is pot committed to a campaign against Maduro. Strategic agency be damned!

Oh, honey, bless your heart...
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done.

OMG. The site is literally called the Dunning Kruger Times.
