Actors get paid based on their popularity, or said differently, you get paid shit if you are not known by millions. You can be the worst actor and get paid millions, while the best actor of the century gets paid minimum wage because noone knows about him.

In ending their life should we be causing them pain? Huge debate, but the main reason we use lethal injection or gas executions instead now is to end their life without pain or torture. Ideally a person would just be turned off like a light without them even noticing.

Interestingly enough, because of certain happenings, these methods are often poorly prepared by a layman after a quick google search and mostly made to look like a quick death, with the person often suffering even for half an hour. We already have a solution. It's called a guillotine. After 4 seconds the person is all gone, but it's a messy death for any onlookers, so it's not used.

For anyone interested, here is a great video about how executions basically never changed in all but look: https://youtu.be/eirR4FHY2YY?si=9y_dbu8SBiDyPos-

So the AI provided factual information and they did not like that because 'slavery bad, therefore there was no benefit to it.' There were benefits to slavery, mainly for the owners. US had a huge cotton export at one point, with the fields being worked by slaves.

But also a very few slaves did benefit, like being able to work a job that taught them very useful skills, which let them buy their own freedom, as they were able to earn money from it. Of course being a slave in the first place would be far better, but when you are one already, learning a skill that makes you earn your freedom and get a job afterwards is quite the blessing. Plus for a few individuals it might've been living in such terrible conditions, that being forced to work while getting fed might've not been so bad...

Chances are as about anything else. But I am not sure what that has to with AI. It's being fed things from the internet for a reason and good luck changing any of the information to your whim.

Unfortunately I have to confirm. I've seen a fair share of people that have knowledge that stops at chemicals/radiation=danger to your health.

Political extremism has been on the rise for more than a decade. Especially with the help of the internet, radicalization has been getting easier and easier. You just need a reasonable-sounding speaker and before you realize, you are far gone.

Both sides in the US have been getting more and more extreme, pulling away from the middle One side will openly talk about their extreme ideologies, which attracts many with the same beliefs. The other side hides behind compassion and helping people, only to stab you in the back when it's too late to run.

I am sure the 2-party system does not help. You are forced to either vote bad guy n.1 or slightly less bad guy n.2. With no other option, it will not take long before you end up listening to your new side and well...you know what happens next. With no space for a more reasonable side to enter, everyone gets radicalized and then a third side becomes a solution no more.

Hope the government falls and is rebuilt, before it all turns into another herrible page of history.

Thanks for the answer to my question! I did not really look into this for a few years. And those that I did were when I really got into US politics. Thankfully I did 180 on that, but my knowledge from that time is untrustworthy to say the least.

Your answer really clarified and added a lot rather than repeating what others said, along with it being from a professional, which is well appreciated. So again, thank you and the others for taking the time to answer my question.

Thanks for your answer to my question! More specific answers like this one really help reinforce what the other told me. I also appreciate you not going into politics, like a few others have.

Thanks for your answer to my question! Simple and to the point, without getting into politics, like a few others have. I had a more general knowledge from a few years ago, so a specific for this case helped.

Again, thank you and the others who took their time to answer me.

We had those types of tests but as to what type of secondary school you would fit in. I of course did not take that test, because I already had a plan. And those who did, ignored it anyway. Not sure what is worse. These job tests, or what people use as a reason for their decision, or the lack of one. Studying computer network technics, two in my class were actually interested in computers. The rest: ,,Well, I play videogames, so I figured I could do well here."

-their answer to the question of why they picked that study

A European here. Aside from going in the right direction, I have a question: Don't the rich already pay most of their earnings as taxes? So the problem is not that they are not getting taxed, but rather that they avoid paying them through loopholes? Or is that a billionaire problem?

Not really. Unless you drank straight from the river after derailment or stayed during cleanup, there is no way anyone will have problems because of it. Unlike radiation, chemicals, after being heavily diluted, become harmless within days.

It's like if you poured out a bottle of bleach in your garden. You won't worry about the tomatoes becoming poisonous when you pick them the next year.
