Which is why the news needs to ignore his shit talking rather than broadcasting it.

You're forgetting how often Rump says all sorts of things he never follows up on. This is why I keep saying we need a better news media. One that can recognize when something is genuinely news worthy. None of the details of this feud matter. Only maybe a single story about them having a feud would be needed. And if it were TV news it would be the last story. A funny fluff piece that doesn't actually matter.

You're still thinking in very small human scales. Culture isn't fixed. All cultures are dynamic. They rise, change, change again, and disappear, throughout the ages. 500 years ago the landscape of various Christian and Muslim cultures were vastly different than they are now. An immortal Artificial Super Intelligence could spend centuries, hundreds of generations or more, subtly tweaking all the various cultures toward a more harmonious coexistence.

It’s really only certain aspects of a few cultures which drive them to be intolerant of other cultures, that would need to be changed.

Those certain aspects which cause intolerance, would need to be changed. Nothing more.

My statement you quoted says nothing remotely like "unify the world into a single culture." Read it again. "a more globally compatible culture."

There are many different yet compatible cultures, that are able to exist together in the world. It's really only certain aspects of a few cultures which drive them to be intolerant of other cultures, that would need to be changed.

Conflicting things could be true at the same time in different places. Having one ruler doesn't require one set of rules. There could be, and would need to be different rules for different communities.

One person who understands and is willing to accommodate that, is an example of the kind of super human trait I was referring to. An AI might be willing to do that, and slowly nudge over generations, differing communities toward a more globally compatible culture.

I'm not sure that would be very difficult if we tried. The current issue in picking a human global ruler, is that it would require super human traits. By definition no human could satisfy them. But a sufficiently advanced AI might.

It's certainly reasonable to offer a charitable interpretation of the question, rather than assume mal-intent.

"What would it take for an AI to be given governance over the world?"

I just learned of https://liberapay.com/
Checks at least most of those boxes, and more.

I guess what I mean is, why was this posted as "News"?

I thought we knew that already, given their close history.

If Rump thinks Musk knows the bill better than anyone, it would make sense that he knows how terrible it is.

If Musk truly hasn't seen it at all, then his opinion of it isn't worth much.

Basically they're both arguing against their own positions.

I was one of the 300,000. It worked great!
Glad to see it won't entirely disappear.

I had situations like this at least a few times a year in school.
I usually managed to convince the teacher I was right.

And yah this kid is almost certainly ND.
Not just the answer, but the handwriting screams dysgraphia.
It looks a lot like mine.

I've had success imagining the reaction a bully is looking for, or expecting; Then giving them a reaction that confounds whatever they had in mind. Don't play their game. Make a new game for you to play. One they won't understand.

My first thought in this case, is to stop by and give him a list of requests you'd like him to play the next morning. If he immediately refuses, just ignore what he says and thank him, because his sound system is way better than yours. That interaction will confuse the hell out of him. He might just stop. If he does or not, go back the next day and ask why he didn't play your request list. If he did play your list, go back and thank him. Then give him another list of music from someone else in your family.

That's just off the top of my head, maybe you can come up with something better. Just remember to make it your game, not his.

They aren't direct synonyms. As one refers to an event, while the other refers to a state of being. However the confusion is easy, as either invariably involves the other, they can both safely inferred.

Not when you're cold and need to start a fire

I didn't read the article. But if I was making this movie.
The raccoons would've sacrificed the goat to the baby. And the parents would be imprisoned in the basement, fearing they'd be next.

If you've ever seen a spaceship show or movie (Star Trek or Star Wars) where control consoles explode, you understand why solenoids are used for high power controls.

Everything.

What's the alternative? Nothing?
That seems really booring.
