Seems worth noting that ChatGPT Health failed to identify medical emergencies more than half the time in a recent study. The company that made that product just signed a deal with the "Department of War" and said trust us, it's all very safe and ethical.

We really need to stop thinking govt spends the way we do. Govt doesn't use tax money. Govt issues the currency. Any priority can be funded. Taxes limit power. Super rich people are bad. We see that every day in America. Norway doesn't have that problem.
