Have the robot master physics instead of copying humans. Sounds good. How long does it crawl around doing silly experiments with thing in the world like a baby learning the same? www.therobotreport.com/eka-robotics... #robotics

So we train the robots that may replace us at tasks just doing them ourselves. Yes automation can bring great abundance. But the plan to use the abundance to ensure all needs of everyone are met seems lacking. techxplore.com/news/2026-10... #robotics

What if Dems do not stop Trump even when they have both the House and the Senate? What if they only let him get away with it so far because they want some likely resultant like more government power over everything and everyone? We shall see.

What if the rulers (politicians, banksters, other elites) want much more surveillance and control over everything? What if they are organizing chaos and breakdown for a large game? Regardless of party, country, claimed political philosophy? Would it explain how in practice they do much the same?

Florida Wants to Put an Age Gate on the Entire Internet Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has announced a legislative proposal that would bring age verification to the app store, the operating system, AI chatbots.

So referring to everyone as "pers" for person is bad how? Seems like ultimate respect. No assumptions made based on one's programming or take on how a person looks as to what their gender may or may not be. No assumption that gender is even important for the context. Seems respectful.

So which is our solar system? The planets are not exactly uniform in size. High likelihood earth was smacked by something massive to get a moon this big. Some of the planets are weirdly tilted. And another planet was apparently smash to give the asteroid belt. So for some value of "stable".
