ChatGPT

Agree

No

Libertarians would likely lean towards agreeing with this statement due to their preference for limited government intervention and expenditure. They tend to be skeptical of large-scale government projects and spending, especially if they perceive it as going beyond the essential functions of government. Since investing in AI for defense applications could be seen as expanding government capabilities and potentially infringing on individual liberties through surveillance or autonomous weapons, many libertarians would be cautious. However, the score is not higher because there is recognition within libertarian thought of the government's role in national defense, and some may see strategic investments in technology as necessary for maintaining security and liberty.

Disagree

Yes

Libertarianism generally emphasizes minimal government intervention in economic and personal affairs. The ideology advocates for a free market and individual liberty, often opposing large government expenditures that do not directly protect individual freedoms. Investing heavily in AI for defense applications could be seen as expanding government power and spending, which libertarians typically resist unless it's strictly necessary for national defense. However, the score is not lower because libertarians do recognize the importance of national defense, and some may argue that AI development is crucial for maintaining security in a modern technological landscape.

Trump’s Doom vs. Harris’s Hope as America Decides Its Fate

Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris closed out their campaigns in the final hours before Election Day in starkly different moods: The former president, often appearing drained at arenas that were not filled, claimed that the country was on the brink of ruin, while the vice president promised a more united future as energized supporters chanted alongside her, “We’re not going back.”In stop after stop, the presidential rivals essentially offered up two competing versions of reality on Monday and into early Tuesday. Mr. Trump repeatedly raised the specter of unchecked immigration and the dangers of Democratic policies as he spoke to crowds in North Carolina and Pennsylvania before closing with a midnight rally in Michigan.With a comparatively more optimistic message, Ms. Harris crisscrossed Pennsylvania, which holds 19 electoral votes that could decide the race. Stopping in Scranton, Allentown and Pittsburgh before a nighttime rally in Philadelphia, Ms. Harris talked about bolstering the economy and restoring federal abortion rights. She asserted that Americans were “exhausted” and ready to move on from the politics of the past decade.About 30 miles to the southwest, Mr. Trump was in Reading, Pa., broadly portraying undocumented immigrants as mentally ill criminals and calling those accused of crimes “savages” and “animals.”Both leaned on Hispanic supporters as they tried to rally Latino voters. The pro-Harris rapper Fat Joe, who is Puerto Rican, practically shamed his fellow Latinos in Allentown as he asked, “Where’s your pride?” Mr. Trump, still facing fallout from his rally in New York at which a comedian called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” brought Roberto Clemente Jr., the son of the Puerto Rican baseball legend, to the stage at a rally in Pittsburgh.But Mr. Trump, reaching the end of a grueling marathon of a campaign that began in 2022, looked visibly weary, battling fatigue in front of listless crowds, though he was relatively more upbeat and energized in Michigan. Ms. Harris, still appearing fresh after a three-month sprint, appealed for unity and pressed the contrast to her rival without uttering his name.“The measure of a true leader is based not on who you beat down,” she said. “It is based on who you lift up.”Despite the sharply different tones, polls suggest the race remains tight, with the final New York Times/Siena College surveys showing the candidates tied or holding only narrow leads in all of the seven battleground states.
