CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Worst Possible Uses for AI imaginable

Nope, not those specific type.
When I saw the topic title, I immediately thought about giving some A.I. robots some cannons, swords, and machine guns. That’s just a great idea.
(sarcasm intended) Or make some suicide bomber bots to take out my enemies muhaha. Never mind the hacker-bots, sex-bots, and drug mule hauling bots of the future. How about an abortion robot A.I.? That sounds like about the worst use case possible.
Tunneling bot for prison escapes, remote A.I. helicopter for the same…there’s a lot of criminal potential for A.I. that hasn’t been explored yet, mostly because we don’t have gun-carrying humanoids yet. Once we do, the sky is the limit.

There’s a Giant Flaw in Human History

With regards to the nonsense of the ancient Egyptians using pyramids to 'focus or amplify' electromagnetic energy, all objects including pyramids can exhibit electromagnetic resonances.
These resonances occur when an external electromagnetic wave matches one of the natural oscillation modes of the object.
In conductive materials this involves free electrons oscillating collectively while in insulating materials like limestone or granite, the response is much weaker and consists mainly of small polarization shifts rather than free electron motion.
At resonance the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation matches the frequency of the oscillating electrons or polarization shifts resulting in an increase in the amplitude of the oscillation.
The internal chambers of the Great Pyramid have different dielectric properties than the surrounding limestone and granite walls, so can alter the distribution of electromagnetic fields and support their own weak resonance modes. Inside the chambers, electromagnetic fields can form weak standing-wave patterns due to reflections off the walls to form constructive interference with the incident radiation creating regions where the field is slightly stronger and is normal cavity resonance found in any enclosed space.
It is blatantly obvious the ancient Egyptians were completely unaware of the physics by simply comparing the interiors of the Great Pyramid with the second largest pyramid that of Khafre.
Khafre’s pyramid contains intrusive tunnels created by tomb robbers but would show a far weaker electromagnetic field enhancement than Khufu’s because it lacks internal chambers and therefore dielectric discontinuities which cannot support internal standing-wave resonant modes.
If the ancient Egyptians were aware of the physics they would not have constructed Khafre’s pyramid with the internal chamber below the pyramid where enhancements would have been negligible.
