    Playing a bit of a devil’s advocate here but you could argue that AGI used in science could help fix climate change. For example what if AGI helps in fusion energy? We are starting to see AI used in the quantum computing field I think.

    Even though much carbon would be created to do bullshit tasks it only takes a few critical techs to have a real edge at reversing climate change. I understand fusion energy is quite the holy grail of energy generation but if AGI is real I can’t see why it wouldn’t help in such field.

    I’m just saying that we don’t know what new techs we would get with true AGI. So it’s hard to guess if on a longer time it wouldn’t actually be positive. Now it may also delay even more our response to climate change or worsen it… Just trying to see some hope in this.

    So what do you suggest? Keeping the moral high ground, losing election and letting Trump and his goons “benefit the people”.

    This is about choosing the lesser evil and picking politics that will stoop as fucking low as possible to be elected and then do very minor social reform to actually help Americans that are struggling.

    Sure it will still fucking suck but I would argue a lot less than applauding the losing democrats congratulating themselves for keeping an entirely worthless moral high-ground. If that moral high ground had any fucking value to the average American they certainly wouldn’t have re-elected Trump. Even with disinformation they all know he paid a pornstar to hide his vices and yet it just didn’t affect the slightest his campaign. Morality has absolutely 0 value in your political system. It’s valueless for your justice systems (you can pardon anybody, supreme court judges elected for life), it’s valueless for politicians since they can do anything and get away with it. Your supreme court explicitly said that Trump can order the assassination of anybody and get away with it. Is this a moral high ground? It’s the posture of a dictator and it helped him get elected.

    So I’d say keep your moral high ground and once this will be the last thing remaining to you, we shall see if you still hold the same opinion. I think you would think you should have fought dirty when you still had something of actual value.

    I have no problem with that pardon. I applaud Biden for this and hope the Democrats will stoop as low as the Republican and use every trick in the book.

    Pardon all your mates. Elect as many Supreme Court Judges. Encourage riots. Discredit opponents, never admit fault. Cheat everywhere you can.

    If the Democrats don’t start playing that game there will ironically be nothing left to save.

    Really Trump pardon much much worses crimes than this. If Trump could pardon the January 6 coup participants he definitely would have. And all the other Republicans would have followed in supporting it. Instead you get some dems taking the moral high ground and shitting on their own team. The Republicans are perfectly united in their lies. They tow the party line even when it’s a coup attempt.

    Just the “the McConnell rule” on its own is a great display on how dishonest the Republicans are. Rules apply only if they benefit them. Why on earth should the Democrats play fair when their opponents cheat all the way?

    Your political system doesn’t punish cheaters. So cheat.
