By 2028, someone will have created a completely synthetic AI persona
whom you can watch, listen to and even talk to on your smartphone.  No
TV, no rallies, just on-line via a free app.  

There has to be a potential return on building those exabyte
multi-$billion data centers that need a river for cooling and have
their own dedicated nuclear power plants.  Imagine that you can chat
one on one with the presidential candidate!  Imagine that Google
legally owns the presidential candidate!

SCOTUS will have to decide on an interpretation of "born".  If a
corporation can be a "person" and money is "speech", is a program a
person and its output speech?  Even if it's from his/her/its/their
silicon untimely ripp'd?
