Flawed builders build flawed buildings. How can you possibly parse "the sum of human writing" and fact check it? Then who checks the checker?

As you point out, isnt that the case for everything? Any random local could wander out into the desert with an RPG-7 and punch big holes in big pipes. Imo, that cant be a reason to stifle progress and also let some country declare themselves owners of international waters. Out of morbid curiosity, I was wondering if it was technically feasible to ignite a subsurface oil field (a la the Centralia mine fire) but apparently the Ahvaz field is approximately 2400 meters deep so not even all our GBU-57 would do the trick.

Iran Demands Bitcoin and Crypto for Strait of Hormuz Toll Payments Clever. Maybe we [i]should[/i] sink Kharg Island under the waves? Alternatives to Strait of Hormuz? Gulf nations are mulling Plan B Maybe new pipelines? It would pay for itself in months vs tolls!

Imo, with the introduction of AI, we are going to enter into a feedback loop of "garbage in, garbage out". Just imagine some LLM scraping this very thread and then regurgitating it back to someone else. Anyone can post anything on the internet and the AI will hoover it up. The fall of humanity will come because we're stupid, and we taught the AI to be stupid too.

Its been fully replaced by sh**posting. The goal isnt the exchange of conversation, its to WIN!! Do Canadians boil it down to toll booth revenues? Perhaps chants of "pretty please leave the ME"? A couple of birds shot down? Whats the criteria?
