Too dangerous!

Early AI?

Easy peasy.

It’s a “Quan-dumb” computer for Congress.

Too large.

Colossus

How about an abacus?

Replace it with monkeys!

Commodore 64 would be overkill.

I thought it would be smaller.

And you brought us a Walkman?

Good one!

You know the country is in trouble when your watch is smarter than your Congressman.

Is it powered by an Intel 4004? – probably still over kill

It doubles as a Roomba

Too large…

Well, it certainly isn’t “Deep Thought”, the computer in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Oh wait, that was huge and size was supposed to mean power and capacity. Haha! Government is already small enough to drown in a bathtub.

And yet, many of those who condemn government think government should provide food, housing, clothes, entertainment, medical. . .

You know, complete control.

I would like something more advanced than something that only plays Pong.

Apt comment on our political situation in the US or any other country really.

Someone who doesn’t know anything about governance proposes a solution to governance based on their field of expertise that obviously would not be an improvement and a bunch of other know nothings applaud the offering.

The dog keeper always thinks they can do brain surgery better than the brain surgery and all the idiots cheer him on…until they need brain surgery.

“…. maybe not WELL but replace.”

Maybe we can finally get something done.

Every politician does the work of two men. Laurel and Hardy.

So, it doesn’t work right either.

80% of it would not work.

A table full of dunking birds should have enough computing power.
