Look like little Jim Henson monsters.

I asked Midjourney to draw itself. Somewhat similar of a look, though Midjourney seems to think itself a bit godlike.
They’re like teens who think they can live on their own but have never had a job or had to pay bills. They sit around creating a big mess, spending their parent’s money with their friends, and create a big fuss whenever they are asked to do something useful to help around the house.
The current batch of republicans have never actually had to do the work of governing. They just keep making a mess of everything, piss away money with their rich friends, and throw a hissy fit when actually asked to do actual work of governing.
You talk with someone and have an interesting discussion, somebody says something incredibly snarky/quippy instead of engaging “in good faith” and the other person gets dog piled on, or it devolves into a flame war and insults start flying.
TBF this is every Internet forum ever.
The solution is tight moderation. However, that ends up with the same old tired argument of limiting speech and the the user base because people don’t want to participate somewhere highly restrictive. We wind up with moderator fiefdoms because people are biased and some get over controlling when they get a little power. It’s a really hard balance to strike.
Never happen when economies and politics are based on always looking for the upper hand and profits.
All the countries with space programs have people in some form of dire strait. Starving, homeless, lack of medical care… Are you saying achievements like this aren’t allowed to take place at all until every problem is taken care of? I can assure you that at no point in civilization has there been times where someone wasn’t in a bad spot while society moved forward. Yeah, India has some big problems, and huge wealth disparity is a problem that many places face alongside India, but you can’t shut down progress because all the other problems can’t be solved.

Lengthy non-scientific video covering the detection of colliding black holes in 2016. Also, buy their merch.
Just goes to show you that any system can be subverted, however, in the capitalist system the subversion is often profitable with minimal consequences for the recipients of the profits. Yay, capitalism (/s).
Not worried about being dead, really. I didn’t exist for millennia, I got my time in the sun, I won’t exist for the rest of time. It hasn’t bothered me.
Dying on the other hand sounds like a painful, grief-ridden, stress filled misery. I really don’t want to have anything to do with a drawn-out death. That’s what bothers me.
Pointless unless:
The agency has authority
The agency can enforce that authority
The agency can levy fines and other deterrents significant enough to make tech companies fear #1 and #2.
Otherwise it’s just another agency that will face regulatory capture and dole out slaps on the wrist that Big Tech can effectively ignore.
I'm sure that many apps that people think will be great will probably not be allowed. They'll still be scrutinized for any DMCA or other IP issues that Apple will not want to deal with.
