  Humanity's #1 alignment problem is how to get almost all people to understand the mutual value of caring how they treat one another, and then choose, knowing why, to actually practice it.  How to be a good human should be a common enduring purpose in all education.  This would completely transform the quality of our future and life on earth.

  well I guess it is a debate on specialization, countries can specialize in something to provide that for the world, other countries have specialized into manufacturing, and in exchange america has provided high end tech. So as long as that doesn&apos;t break down, as long as we&apos;re the specialization into tech, but other countries are increasing their technological ability to reduce independence. There may have to be some alliances on technology

  Please help me understand, because the definitions are always so non-specific. What is meant by “the climate issue”? <br><br>Also, does preserving “our democracy” include preserving voter integrity?

  While the largest U.S. maritime ports use automation, these facilities use far less automation than leading foreign ports. &nbsp;The resistance from U.S. longshore unions is a reality and a structural barrier that represents a parallel of the expected broader resistance toward AI adoption. &nbsp;The public passively ignored and accepted the longshore demands that imposed their job security and retirement benefits as de facto tariffs on imported goods. &nbsp;AI has cooked governance, but the government unions will not allow AI to displace their jobs and their overly-generous retirements.

  The USA has a &quot;Dead Space&quot; for all of our sensors...? &nbsp;I have a hard time believeing this guy. &nbsp;Which shouldn&apos;t surprise me in that he was a member of the autopen administration.
