It’s exhausting to give a damn, isn’t it?

Hi America!
Your president seems unaware, so just a reminder that Article 5 of NATO has been invoked exactly once, by you after 9/11, and everyone responded. Canada, for example, spent 13 years, $18 billion, and 158 lives in Afghanistan for you.

I hate AI, but it has amazing applications in science/medicine. If there aren't ways around what I said, then I think it should be decided it is in our best interest to scrap it, or like I said, leave it to medicine/science. I dont want to stop using my brain, and I don't choose to use AI.
