The only AI regulation we need is if an AI hacks into something, the CEO of that AI company goes to prison. The hacks, and the doombragging, will stop. This is already what will happen if a non-billionaire uses AI to hack a corporate site.

I wish to donate to certain political campaigns, but I don’t want it to result in getting 10 more text messages, phone calls, and emails every day asking me to give more (what usually happens when I donate to politicians candidates). Is this possible?

I've been rewatching Battlestar Galactica (2004). So glad I bought the DVD set when I did. Watched the season 3 finale last night and OMFG that still hits as probably the best season finale ever made. So many payoffs and surprises. We need more TV like this. #BattlestarGalactica
