What issues other than our social issues are you having AI solve? What else could possibly be worth doing? by Mirena Rhee

What issues other than our social issues are you having AI solve? What else could possibly be worth doing? It's an idiocy if you're not having AI figure out why we have 100,000 homeless kids in New York.

When you open the news in the US all the headlines are constantly accounting, 6 billion 10 billion hundred billion 10 million 5 million.

Haven't we got enough shit already?

Open the closets in anyone's house and they're going to be overflowing with shit. People don't have places to put their stuff in.

I think we don't need any more shit.

If you're having AI manufacture more shit you can stop now.

We need to solve our social issues which are the war that we need to fight right now.

If you have 100,000 kids homeless at the center of the economic activity of the world we've got a big problem. And if you have all these fantastical counting of things you will think that we have enough to cover it all.

Now tell me if you get up in the morning and if you're not thinking about solving the social issues of America what are you doing? What are you doing with all the numbers when $100,000 kids are homeless?

It totally voids our humanity and all our achievements as a civilization if you ask me.
