He probably didn't even read all of them once. Books are like wine: you don't have to drink all the wine you have before buying more.

AI is not at all like real intelligence. Computers do not know what words mean because they do not experience the world as we do. They don't have the common sense or wisdom that people accumulate through the experience of life. Humans can understand the consequences of nuclear war. Computers can only predict the next best word in their response from a statistical map that has no connection to meatspace.

> Humans can understand the consequences of nuclear war

And I'm asking why. Nearly no human alive has experienced nuclear war. The nuclear taboo is strongly represented in any source an AI would have consumed. We know about the nuclear taboo because we've been told over and over.

Plant food.

CO2 is plant food. It's amazing how the spin has affected so many generations. Much much worse than that for the environment are particulates from incomplete combustion, NOx from poor combustion, et cetera.

So that's the kind of hill Jack and Jill went up.

Those are illegal, separate from the medium of conveyance.

Why does the government need a plan for pennies? They stopped wasting money minting them, now the "problem" will sort itself out naturally.
