Communicating in text is sometimes difficult. I expect you weren't saying I'm not gonna go to Valhalla. Putting quotes around the phrase would make it clear.
I'm more of German descent than Scandinavian and I understand that their mythologies were fairly similar. For example, today's Santa Claus is actually Teutonic Wotan. It blew my mind when I learned that. I'm just very fascinated by Norse mythology. I blame the old Thor comics that I read when I was a kid that were actually versions of stories of Thor in Valhalla.
Amazingly they were kind of sort of based on the actual legends. The death of Baldr by Loki's treachery, the birth of Sleipnir by Loki when he was in horse form. The half-giant Thor, famous for felling giants.
Interesting, I'll check it out. I don't think the AI we have now is inherently evil, but it's good to not necessarily be forced to use it.
Sheep will always be sheep.
Citizen enforces his own right to the Fourth Amendment and is prosecuted by the government for not letting them try to find incriminating evidence on him. For something. Maybe. Because he looks suspicious.
I hope that lawyer gets it thrown out. I'm not holding my breath. We've gone so far into fascism I'm not sure it'll take anything less than violence to end it.
Another article in which we find that the people who are making things in this country are building the things that science fiction authors wrote about to stop people from doing such things. Yup, they saw the horrors and they just smiled and thought "Cool!"

These are all good works of fiction, either literature or movies, that apparently our business elite has decided is what we need to make Real.
Yes. Trump wants his own "brown shirts" who will then become the SS division.
(tangentially I am ticked off they kept stealing Tutonic and Norse symbols (and one very prominent Indian one) and turned them into "symbols of hate". The SS uses Suwilo ( it looks like an angular "s" or "stylized lightning bolt".)
Well, he's on the unemployment line soon.
wisper is the name of the ai/tech that drives the translation. there are implementations for other platforms. i got one on Linux, but haven't really used it yet. it does work when there are other noises in the room.
This is an example of me using it in a noisy bar. The first paragraph was typed because I wasn't sure it would work. But it works fine.
One easy way to tell the difference is that one makes their accusations based on documented facts and actions. The other makes their accusations based on the nature of the human being in question.
Additionally, that perceived nature is usually a caricature of the actual nature in the first place.
