> If you're wildly successful at something with significant real world influence, why would you care so strongly about something as relatively inconsequential as a board game or a video game?

It’s possible that exact personality trait is what drove them to such success in the first place. Perhaps like an obsession with winning.

Will not have to admit. The term has nothing to do with rate of fire. Normally purchased weapons, assault or not, are semi automatic. Rate of fire only applies to automatic weapons.

> Aside from the fact that red meat is not particularly nutritious in terms of calories or nutrient variety

Animal proteins are generally more complete, containing all essential amino acids, which is more difficult to find with plant protein.

> and has well established health hazards for us,

Mostly correlative studies, I wouldn't call them well established.

> The amount of water, land, and feed that goes toward growing cattle until they're old enough to go to the slaughterhouse is enormous

These stats are fairly deceitful. Cattle are raised on low quality "marginal land" that would otherwise not be able grow proper crops. Cows with their four stomachs can digest rough grasses that grow there, making the otherwise useless land useful. Generally when you hear the "amount of water" required to raise a cow, this is simply rainwater. These headlines that get thrown around imply a massive amount of resources being diverted away from growing crops to raise cattle instead, but that is completely false.

Complete protein vs just protein. Animal protein contains all amino acids, and that is hard to find with non-animal protein.

Swedish views on privacy don’t necessarily apply outside of Sweden.

Are income levels not deserving of privacy?

> Paying poor countries to not build coal plants.

So that they can be replaced with cleaner power or just to bribe people into staying poor?

> Blowing up infrastructure.

So that people starve to death?

This is such a bizarre post. Tools are built to serve man. AI is just another tool. When mechanization replaced human labor there were no questions about prioritizing machines over people. This is no different. You have a distorted framing of the situation.

That's not a good analogy at all. The incentives and motivations are completely different. Many drivers would at one point or another consider running a red light in order to save some time. I don't think you can say the same about passengers wanting to hijack a flight.

The marketing team for a protein shake is not making billions. If you mean the CEO and shareholders then you can’t compare them to scientists chasing grants, that’s not an apples to apples comparison.
