Bernie Sanders proposes 20 years in prison for developers pursuing ASI plans

The convicts might be OK with this as a productivity tool (isolation, exercise periods) given high speed internet access and loads of computer gear. They had better hurry while the sentence for white collar crime is a resort spa with gates.

Oh, and conjugal visits.

Good thing for the criminals, prison doesn't exist in 20 years if they're successful and the doomers are right.

However well-intentioned, unilateral disarmament is always a sucker's bet.
