Trump/RFK are decapitating our public health system, a pillar of American greatness. So Dem Govs should scour every corner of the law for creative new ways to defend their people from this madness. Dems should polarize this debate to the max. Thoughts on this here: newrepublic.com/article/1998...

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

This crime at Social Security might amount to the biggest data theft in human history. Committed by a government against its own citizens. I don’t think anyone has begun to grasp the sheer scale of corruption and institutional destruction that has occurred in the last few months. Era-defining.

We can't talk about rights without correctly assigning responsibility. I think from first principles our machines cannot accept responsibility, and people cannot use fancy machines and computer programs to *evade* responsibility. Some real person has to be answerable.

Is there any legal bright line that establishes that humans have to be ultimately responsible for the actions of their machines? We cannot get to the point where someone can invent and unleash a Killbot, and then the ensuing murders are simply the Killbot’s fault, or a legal act of god.
