? Fucking yes it would be better to put hundreds of billions of dollars every year into curing cancer/HIV/ Type 1 diabetes/alzheimers, literally any disease. Curing a major illness like those would actively help hundreds of thousands or millions of people around the world every year. What does AI help? My fucking manager in sending cryptic emails that raise more questions than answers? Dump a few hundred billion into disease research, or fusion power, or just into housing for all of us.

AI helped me with my voting ballot. I asked Kagi’s AI to research the ambiguous candidates and propositions. I had it put them into a political alignment chart - left/centrist/rightwing. Addendums for candidates included things like whether they had criminal convictions or corruption, stance on vaccinations, how they feel about “tough on crime”, the homeless, ect. For propositions, the political alignments had a fourth entry added, where the yes/no included the wealth level of backers for a position. This is very useful, completing in a hour what would have taken a week of research. Very useful for digging into the mechanical details of a proposition, like whether it prevented the replacement or supplementing of a measure.
