    I feel this in itself is a sign of the times. I mean look at all the Trump voters who are only now waking up to the possibility that this person does not have their best interests at heart, while so many have been saying exactly that for 10 years, and it was all so obvious.

    I’m sure there’s a proverb about it, too. Like “fools vote trump and laugh at wisdom” or so.

    So, first the world cheers people doing horrible shit. And when that produces predictably horrible results we try to pull it back again. I see a pattern here.

      Some for 50 years. Trump didn’t come out of nowhere. Him running for office used to be a joke.

      “If you think putting AI in a child’s toy (or voting for Trump) is a good idea you might just be a fucking idiot”?
