True, but that is plausibly covered by existing precedent: If a discovery is "obvious to one skilled in the art", it can't be patented. IANAL but this seems to me easily extensible to "if you can do it in two…
Yes, but the discussion was about patents.
The purpose of intellectual property is to give an incentive to produce new knowledge (and art) by giving the inventor a way to monetize their work. Arguably this does not particularly work; but if you accept the…
No worries, obviously the AI will cure aging so we will be able to run civilisation with the current experts forever. ...at least, until they accumulate enough stocks to retire on. ...however, for each one that retires…
Is there any infrastructure of which this is not true? Every country, not just the Great Powers, has a large amount of installed plant which is the result of decades, in some cases centuries, of capital accumulation.…
We've got one. It's called impeachment. Unfortunately the system wasn't originally intended to have parties and party loyalties, and assumed that Congress would never have a majority to give a free pass to a corrupt…
Even a fairly corrupt politician might believe that they are less corrupt than the other guy, and would be able to use the law as a weapon to get an even bigger slice of the cake. Or, still more likely, they would…
To be fair the Antichrist, being a prophesied entity from several millennia ago, is probably not super up to date on twenty-first-century business best practices. They probably still use waterfall.

Excellent work, very nice! One tiny UI nitpick: I found the squares' hitboxes to be unintuitively small, requiring more-than-expected precision to get Chazz to land in the square I wanted. (I was initially confused…
Points for effort, but this will do literal nothing to appease the opposition, since the "water use" thing is a myth anyway. It's probably good, it sounds like it will be more efficient and efficiency saves resources…
Indeed they do. And as a result they have rather more of it than European busybodies. :)

Not OP, but why draw a line for WiFi names at all? Do you think an actual terrorist goes around drawing attention like that?
Deliberate understatement is sometimes deployed for humorous intent.

What are those artists successful at? Making art, or marketing it? The New York art scene is a curious example in this context, because it is notoriously all about who you know rather than what you do, and that's not…
That is why the writer specified "on average", which clearly remains true, at least in the case that the decisionmaker is part of the affected group. The optimistic part is in assuming that latter.
Human brains are also deterministic, though somewhat more difficult to reset to a starting state. So this seems to prove that humans aren't conscious either.
