Chatgpt gives us answers, but so do the top linked articles in a search engine. Why bother adjusting to something different if we already have something that solves the problem?
For most people, the marginal amount of time saved by using chatgpt instead of a search engine is borderline meaningless. It might be useful for lawyers to quickly tl;dr dry legal documents, but general use seems far fetched to me

If we had stood up to them in 2013, drew a line in the sand and said "No, a bunch of poorly edited snuff films aren't going to cause a bunch of American teens to join an Islamic revolution" these relationships wouldn't exist.
By the way, we are currently trying to ban TikTok because of similar concerns about it rotting teens brains. Before we start frothing at the mouth in rage at some problematic app let's do a thought experiment and consider the future blowback from taking such extreme action.
I remember thinking earlier, it's kind of odd that teenagers "running off to join ISIS" was a widespread problem. In hindsight the shills probably blew that whole thing out of proportion to justify more agency scope creep
Thinking that you can be a free-from-all libertarian is like being a house cat that does not comprehend the system that keeps him alive. It is only because the system works that you can enjoy personal freedoms.
Russians have fully outsourced their both internal politics (resulting in for example the absolutely atrocious state of the courts of law) and foreign politics (mobilization! yay, go die in a trench!) to the tzar and look how that turned out. They also paid taxes and generally speaking accepted the offered social contract, but didn't monitor the situation and react to transgressions.
So because the government does something (THANK GOD), we all need to advocate for more government?
These agencies have already seen massive scope creep in the past couple decades. Seeing the FBI doing moderation for social media companies is a step too far and it's high time for the alphabet agencies to get pared down
>My problem with euthanasia is how do you know if the patient actually wanted it, or if they were pressured into it by medical personnel in order to cut costs?
It does not take a genius to figure out that expensive end of life care paid with taxpayer funds and the country’s labor resources could instead be going towards things like education or infrastructure.
>In the USA, we don't have a public health care system,
What is Medicare? Medicaid? Who pays the hospital when someone with no means to pay walks in and EMTALA requires them to receive healthcare?
There's enough surplus in any western society that this sort of zero sum thinking is completely out of place. Anyone who would consciously sacrifice another human being for something inanimate like "infrastructure" is sick in the head
