Sortition would fix all of the problems with modern "representative" democracy and mass disinformation. Its how we select juries and I see no reason to not select representatives the same way. Democracy in the age of AI and mass media manipulation leads to totalitarianism.

Read OpenAIs tos, nothing you build there is proprietary, it belongs to OpenAI. Do not use OpenAI products for proprietary work, you have no legal grounds to defend your IP, you should have read the fine print.

Ah yes, just "pull the plug". That's a hilarious idea, are you sure the AGI that was trying to destroy humanity didn't give you that one?

How ironic, considering throughout most of history, a large family was a sign of/creator of wealth due to more labor. Now the incentives have reversed due to human unskilled labor being so cheap + dissolution of family obligations.

Actually correct take: You cannot slow down climate change without mass depopulation, and most climate change alarmism is overhyped. It will impose a cost to civilization and it will have to be dealt with by adapting to it, rather than some inane scheme to create carbon tax credits to justify more ways for the hyper-wealthy to stay wealthy.
