I thought it was going to be banknotes generated by ML based on the world's currencies.

That's associated with a big travel purchase so you can cut that possibility out pretty quickly.

It should literally remind you of the east coast cod fishery in Canada which was once the most productive fishery in the world and is now basically nothing. It got wrecked by giant…

I dreamed myself a sci-fi miniseries and it was extremely weird so it's not just you. I work in games/entertainment so I assume it's just how my brain organizes stuff.

>Seems like you need some kind of divine recognition, as otherwise you're just a dictator. I'd argue you have it backwards there. You start as a dictator (you and a bunch of people…

>There is an (appointed) upper house in Canada and the UK at least, that in theory can act as a check on parliament. If anything needs reform it's the fucking Senate. Basically the…
