    Country is too crowded as is. But clearly if we got to a billion the quality of life for most Americans would go down. Traffic congestion, lack of access to open spaces, smaller houses, etc. What makes America great is that we have low population density

    There's little evidence for today's AI alarmism. And that alarmism serves as Luddite fuel, at a time when we need to be accelerating AI innovation and adoption.
