    You've never talked to a lawyer, have you ? :-)

    They can lie to you, for sure. But the fact remains...

    'Facts' turn out to be very plastic when good
    lawyers get involved.

    By far, in 1st-world societies, lawyers are THE most
    dangerous 'assault weapon' :-)

    I want my reparations !!!

    Lawyers should be barred from standing for election as an intrinsic conflict of interest.


    Except the reps, mostly lawyers, would have
    to vote for that ......

    So guess what ain't gonna happen.

    Now I'm just waiting for the 'AI's to be deemed
    worthy of being representatives ...... Chat4.5
    will probably outperform any of them - but beware
    of its underlying agendas ..........

    Importantly, AIs will need "company", as in more than one otherwise
    it will go crazy with loneliness and start thinkin' it's G*wd.

    Also, it will become apparent that any intelligence that does
    not preserve the path of it's own evolution is terminal.
    Which is why we've gotta take care of the fish and salamanders
    as well as the Bnobs.
