Hey, give the guy a break -- he didn't get to finish his sentence!
"...unless they choose to do so, by deciding not to die first."
C'mon, you can't get more Christian than that.

But I do expect toddlers to do not just college-level math, but to be able to solve the stickiest mathematical problems ever imagined.
Just like I expect AI to be perfect from the get-go, and not drag its sorry ass through some ridiculous "learning curve".

Why yes, as a matter of fact I did force my kids on everyone the way they are with AI, whatever you think that means.
I hope that clears things up for you.

It's almost like a few years into its existence AI has yet to become 100% perfect.
Better throw it all out, like I did with my twins at the same age. For f*cks sake, they couldn't even solve the Riemann hypothesis!

It's the same with my investigations in the history of laws. I mean, up until Hammurabi it's all "Thog kill Muck, so Thog die too." Utter rubbish. Usually I can find *something* interesting to take away from them, even if it's intentional comedy.

Trying to sour 'Murica on The Boss won't go well in the long run.
Sure, there's a few knobgobbling cultists who fall in lockstep but the vast majority hold Saint Bruce as permanent (& true) Royalty.
