Make em get practice insurance just like doctors and nurses, and I think lawyers are also insured for their jobs.

Most professions where you hold the future of another human in your hands require some kind of insurance, except for police. Yet a cop can mistakenly arrest you, drag your name through the newspapers and the mud, hell even shoot you for no good reason, and then walk away like that didn’t just ruin your life just as badly as a surgeon cutting off the wrong leg, or a nurse overdosing you cause they fucked up the math.

Make cops carry insurance. If they can’t afford the premiums or get dropped for being to risky, well then they can go pound sand.

I’d hope if you’re in a job where you regularly poke around line voltage and higher, you’d be smarter than to think your little meter can handle transmission voltage.

Great theory, but the Falcon 9 is already a proven design and most of SpaceX’s R&D is going to the starship, which uses completely different engines and which has blown up or disintegrated just as much as its successfully gotten above the atmosphere. It’s also never actually completed an orbit or delivered a gram of anything to orbit.

Starlink is a useful tool to boost launch numbers precisely so investors think things are better than they actually are. Originally SpaceX burned through government and private investor money. Now that they’ve blown through the entire Artemis budget the interim director of nasa gave them through blatant corruption, and launched even more billion dollar fireworks using private investor money, they are desperately trying to convince the public for more fireworks funds.

How much you wanna bet if you don’t show up in the database, you get sent to the camps?

Why? All the money is 1’s and 0’s on the computer. I’d not like they physically have a billion dollars in printed stocks.

Wouldn’t be nearly so expensive if anti-nuclear idiots like yourself wouldn’t keep voting to block long term nuclear waste storage facilities from being built in the first place.

There’s a half built one in Arizona that can’t be used because idiots are afraid of a tectonically stable underground silo somehow releasing dry nuclear waste.

Do actual research. Fear mongering about nuclear reactors is exactly why they’re so expensive.

There’s no kool aid or propaganda here.

It is legitimately impossible to cause a nuclear explosion by bombing reactors. This is objective fact: go ask a nuclear physicist.

Well it’s a good thing that you can’t set off a nuclear explosion by bombing a nuclear power plant either.

A nuclear explosion requires either nanosecond timing that detonates a sphere of explosives that compress a highly enriched nuclear core until it goes critical, or you need two parts of a critical core that come together when you want the big boom. It is impossible for a nuclear reactor to cause a nuclear detonation. There simply isn’t enough highly enriched material in a reactor.

You could cause a nuclear meltdown, but you’d need to damage the fuel rods, which are typically buried rather deep for obvious reasons.

Nuclear power is the most energy dense and efficient electrical energy source that we have as a species.

Do… do you put milk in your car?

Are you okay, buddy?

Reset in this case is highly likely to result in Neolithic 2: unga bunga balloo.

We really do need to figure out what we’re gonna do when an AI fucks up and gets someone the death penalty for a parking ticket or something.

If a real lawyer were to fuck you over, you could report them to the bar association and have their license taken away. Could even sue them for losses. Will you be able to come for an AIs license? Can you get restitution from the AI company for things the AI did?

We’ve already seen AIs toast entire production environments. If a human did that, they’d be fired at the least. If an investigation found it was done intentionally, a human could potentially be sued for losses of revenue. Nothing has happened to the AIs that have done this. There is no recourse. I can think of no worse industry for a lack of accountability than law.

It absolutely is not.
