   I am very pro-AI (although I do think we need to have a culture of caution) but this is another red-alert for democracy. People should be terrified if the president is able to make you into a state enemy just because you said you are against some technology.

      The president calling you a foreign agent has just had his son's wedding paid for by a Russian criminal boss with close ties to Putin. A classic "the thief shouts "Catch the thief!" louder than everyone else"

      >the president is able to make you into a state enemy just because you said you are against some technology.

      not only technology. Any opposition to the Great Leader on any issue.

         "every accusation is a confession" is the quote that applies to this government

            Just imagine how lousy the opposition has to be to loose to this guy, twice.

               Just imagine how lousy the average American mind has to have been to evaluate this to be preferable to just about any other alternative they could get in their political system. Twice. And they'll happily go for a third time, tens of millions of people are still loving it.

                  The quality of the candidates seem to have gone down since Obama, Bill Clinton and the like though.

                     Voters keep showing they prefer the more senile candidate, I suppose.
