It is a political and societal choice. I could understand that a people decides that it should be governed with pure human processes, and therefore that its government and civil se…

That said, what will they do when a Boston Robotics robot armed to the teeth will knock at their door to ask for them?

Well, DUH. We all know that they were 00000000 this has been published for some time now... But ChatGPT doesn't know it: "... the codes were "1234ABCD." It was shocking to learn th…
