    OK. So some asshole shoots up a local politician’s house, while he and his eight year old son are inside. Something that:

    • Has only increased support for said politician
    • Has strengthened his resolve to support said data center
    • Will inevitably be used as evidence that anti-AI people are nuts
    • Could easily have ended in the murder of a child, because, again, he was in the house this person indiscriminately fired into

    And the reaction here is ‘good?’

    If you honestly believe this way, you have been dangerously radicalized. Get help before you hurt someone.

      You make good points but when politicians don’t listen to people and those people get desperate they also get violent. If politicians didn’t want to get shot at they shouldn’t have created a world in which that sounds like a good idea to damn near half the population. Actions have consequences and the people in charge have been ignoring problems for a long time. Sooner or later that’s going to bite them in the ass in one way or another.

        The same logic used by people who murder abortion doctors, nice. I’m sure this guy’s eight year old son deserved it, too. Again–seek help.

          You’re welcome to your opinions on the topic but I don’t think you can refute anything I said. Desperate people often get violent and there are a lot of desperate people out there. That’s just the state of the world.

      Hey I won’t say good, but how about indifferent? Crocodile tears about his family do nothing for me when his policies are bound to wreck a large portion of his constituents putting out of work and on the streets, on a systematic scale. Not to even mention the environmental catastrophe he’s invited in, for a meager $2.5M.

      Yeah… Indifferent. Numb. Sucks for him. Will suck even worse for everyone else soon.
