If I ever reply to you and say "The problem is ..." then I apologise in advance.
I hate that phrase. There never is "a" problem. The real world is really complex.
If you use the phrase "common sense" instead of reasoned argument you may not get a reply.

Trump has pardoned huge amounts of fraud and truly heinous crimes.
In particular, he's pardoned more corrupt elected officials than any other President, and it's not particularly close.

This is a perfect example as to why we need AI regulation yesterday.
AI cannot be the arbiter of whether human beings can live or die. This is an excuse for insurance companies to fire human workers and make our healthcare system even more nightmarish for a quick buck.

The "Cardiovascular Patients" cohort are also improving by around 3% per year. However as they finished the study ~70% down on the baseline, it will likely take decades for them to fully recover.
