Meanwhile today we include everyone in the process.
Sometimes. It depends on if the vote is for something in particular, or if it's a vote for someone to act as a representative. The first is more democratic, the latter is less so, especially if that person ends up not actually representing well.
Then there is the issue of whether or not "everyone" is truly included in either of these.
Then the price for fuel use would drop, but the cost for running large vehicles would increase dramatically to make up for the difference. Which will be passed on to consumers. Possible kill transit in some areas that already get questioned on cost. I'm more for spreading the cost over everyone using the road than giving more excuse for price increases on everything.
A long password made of different parts that you can remember in your head is far more secure than any manager that can get hacked.
Taxes go to schools, libraries, fire and police, lots of things you might never use. I think gas taxes usually go towards road maintenance (or they should).
Not directed at you, OP, but there seems to be a lot of anti-tax stuff lately that I've seen posted, and not one of them brought up how much taxes go to support a military operation. They always seem to lean towards pointing out how much of their money goes to social programs that they don't use or want. They ought to compare the price of a school vs. a missile.
Once they get them all finished and connected. And then only briefly.
We've had impartial computerized methods of creating fair districts for decades. It doesn't benefit those in power, who are the ones who would have to approve it.
A group should be formed, independent of state or federal, to form districts every few years based on population movement. If a party is disadvantaged by the makeup within that district, then they'll just have to work harder to try and sell themselves as a better choice. The role of a representative is a representation of that area, and should reflect their needs. Not some bigger party goal that needs the numbers.
As a Gen-X, I have embraced 6-7 and use it when I can. I appreciate that every generation has its own meme culture. Funny enough, it pisses off the younger kids when I do it. Mission accomplished.
Are you okay with paying for rent/mortgage to have a place to live? Or paying for services given to you? If you want everything for free, then you are living in first grade.
Is it because some of that money might help others in some way that you don't need help with? That IS first grade.
Yes, they should do all the things they do for free.
Improper taxation and misuse of taxes are theft is more realistic, but it's not as catchy a slogan for a sign, and requires some thinking instead of just feeding off a person's emotion.
And someone who did something important.
What you do with your life isn't tied to either of those.
That's one of the weak points of the idea. Things just don't drop to the bottom of the ocean, there are layers that separate the waters. So to sequester the carbon as permanently as possible takes energy to get through all of that. The other issue is feeding this growth. It won't grow without an input of fertilizer, and that requires more infrastructure and energy use, plus depletes those resources elsewhere. There is no solution to this. Even the real direction that we should take, reduction of emissions, has costs that are bad for lots of people.
This isn't a suggestion of inaction, just a note of realism, since the post is framed in the tone of "here's something no one knows about" that will solve things.
AGI might use LLM tech in their process, but LLMs by themselves aren't going to become aware. What happened is LLM tech became a gold mine, some who were doing AGI research jumped on it instead, and others followed. There is certainly still AGI research going on somewhere, but it's buried by the race to... something. The biggest problem I see, outside of the need for profit guiding all this, is that what they are building has become so complex they don't really understand it fully, they just keep finding ways to tack on things to get to some higher level without knowing why it works (or why it will break).
And while LLMs aren't AGI, they still have the issue of misalignment, even without a self-awareness. We've seen early on the misdirection to obtain a goal, and the models now are more sophisticated. Maybe it's not their own goal, but a misunderstood goal that they'll say and do anything to get to.
Good thing we're not putting them in control of important things, or full access to systems, right? Right?
