I mean, at the reate we are going we probably will have AGI by then. Many experts are already saying we very well might have full AGI within the decade, and that's with us not even seeing what Google is cooking

Yep, this is where I'm at. They showed their AI scheduling a haircut ages ago, but Google Assistant is still extremely dumb compared to Chat GPT

Until they put something I can use in my hand, they are a vaporware company on the way to go down in history next to all the other huge names that didn't adapt to change

> you need them alive to be hostage

This is the big flaw in your argument. You are assuming two rational countries are having a friendly saber rattling thermonuclear exchange.

I can assure you, 100% assure you, that if Kim Jong Un was launching nukes at the US and thought he could get away with it, he would absolutely be targeting every large population center he could

What does Wolfram Alpha offer that ChatGPT doesn't already do? Non-troll question, I've never used Wolfram Alpha before, and only know about it by asking ChatGPT just now lol. It sounds like a primitive version of ChatGPT

Even if we detected 100% certain alien life, not much would change imo. Normies would just go "Huh, neat! Anyway, can you believe what Kayne said", and governments would just assess it as a threat and keep telescopes pointed that way to see what they could learn

Even when the UFO disclosure was going on over the last few years, with the Pentagon itself outright saying "There are unknown objects stalking out naval ships and flying past our military bases" nobody cared. If you even try to talk to people about it, it's just "Huh that's weird, probably the Chinese / Russians" as if that also isn't a very scary thing

IMO the US government could outright say "Aliens are living on Mars and we've contacted them" and people would still not really care and would just go on with their lives and go back to work etc.

. . . the fact that you missed such an extremely obvious joke, while managing to be insulting about it, is pretty impressive tbh

> Its in the second paragraph, first sentence.

You expect us to do more than read the headline??? Mods, ban this heretic
