You only need to make people more productive and then they need less people!

I've seen IT boost productivity for decades and the result is that it reduces jobs or gives more value to the owners while the wages stagnated.

Sure, people counter that existing employees can remain and they get more value out of them, I've heard that plenty. Well, you'd have needed to hire new employees to get those benefits and were able to avoid; perhaps the added expense was not worth paying more but it certainly then the productivity was worth the LOST savings of reducing employees. If any gains were made, they didn't go to employee raises; at least not more than the inflation rate.

Replacing entry workers creates a long term supply problem; which is solved simply by pushing entry workers up the chain! This results in upper workers who could be completely immune from AI being in over supply... So the "safe" jobs get screwed indirectly!

Not to mention CA has about 12% of the population of the USA.

VOTERS don't care about land management. politicians on some level always represent their voters.

Like how Americans are fat ignorant corrupt selfish greedy bullies who lie and have no idea why hypocrisy is shameful. They identify with their president for a reason; just distance themselves from a few characteristics they don't want to identify with. If you are the embodiment of every human flaw, everybody will have something in common with you.

Victimless? This is CA which is constantly on fire as it's climate becomes drier. You want to allow smoking next to gas pumps next?

The problem is the whole thing is trained to make output to please you. Simple old systems can fool people for a short while. As they get better, they fool more people longer. So at some point you will have a system able to meet everybody's expectations and do so for a short period of time until they find something to fool it.

So we'll have people thinking it's "alive" when it can fool enough people long enough. But the whole thing will really just be a better con than most people can detect. It will not be able to actually think.

Now the brain sims that are not just non-linear equation approximation machines, those might be smart someday... although the problem with modeling neurons is they've found quantum mechanics is involved. someday we may have a decent approximation that goes beyond the weighted averaging based design we have now which doesn't need to be a perfect neuron. I don't think there is some quantum magic that is required for "life" but maybe... thing is, will you know or will you just be good enough to fool your ability to measure success?

At the time I remember IBM had engineers playing with the computer during the matches and they shouldn't have been allowed to touch the computer at all. You take a team of experts helping the machine and you've created an augmented intelligence that could combine the work of many against 1 chess master. I'd say they had to prove they actually won by letting the chess master use a computer of historical moves as well as not allowing any human to touch the computer during the game.

Keep up the good work.

They manufacture the panic; many try things out and when something sticks enough they run with it. They don't even need anything to find and distort anymore; just make it up and if lucky, they can ambush somebody who will stay the wrong thing when responding unaware of the narrative setup around the absurdities. Trans has been a problem for some time with it being such a tiny nothing it hardly gets noticed but it resonated more at this time so it became a crisis.

Trump won't understand the point being made by flip flopping other than thinking they are "tough" like him. He can't grasp somebody mirroring his idiocy to make a point.

So maybe not.
I'd say TACO but Canada is the one Trump treats the worst, even more than China. They can't simply wait for TACO.

The stupid freaks who left the tribe because they were better at running than climbing trees ended up evolving into humans. One can't measure future success so it's folly to control breeding; however, the idiots who remove themselves from the gene-pool should not be prevented from serving their purpose!

We have to stop letting idiots avoid risk of harm. Don't give them wavers for imaginary bone spurs; for example ( in his specific case, it was the diapers they were covering up for - which is why his personal doc was a specialist in that.)

This is not a serious problem; the real problem of the world today are the crazy Trumpists.

How about we give the ISPs a huge tax break to fund doing this themselves? Surely we can trust them to do the right thing? We'll have some congressional review to keep them honest... /sarcasm.

So... lets use a private for-profit corporation to handle this?? With higher CEO and admin salaries plus obviously a minimum 30% profit margin just to be a profitable business; plus endless schemes to extract increased profits.

Some classes of non-profits should have higher % donated than others; but unlike a private corp, they have to disclose their overhead waste. I would prefer a government office to manage this; they have less overhead cost and waste than most 3rd party organizations; especially contractors, which are the cause of most government waste.

mental retards are not disabled!
They mentally still function. Their cognition is impaired in various ways to various degrees.

Visually disabled people are blind. Visually impaired people use glasses or can't drive, etc.

Retards; for short, literally are mentally retarded by something; which literally using the meaning of the words could be temporary. The amount of drugs you take can retard your mental function...

Fuck all you ignorant PC morons! Wish you could grow up... but a moron is unable to get past the level of a teenager, generally speaking. So I'm wasting my time; I'm not a psychologist or special education teacher and even so you may be permanently moronic. The whole medical term was created because people were too PC about the prior medical terms: idiot, imbecile and moron. A century later and history repeats but we're still dancing around on a new replacement term.

Trump raised rents before and he will do it again. The GOP has been attacking the middle class for a century; more now than maybe ever. Corporate Democrats are not good but if you can't see the difference between Trumpists and Conserva-Dems that are closer to traditional Republicans then you are blinded by the hype... Cognitively impaired by a cult-like religious dogma... in a word, a Trumptard.

Sorkin's dialog always punches above it's weight. Knowing he was involved and your review has convinced me to watch the film. I panned it as another harmfully warped take on major turning point in history.

Reality has a liberal bias; or pedophile bias, or communist bias... whatever slur the delusional retards have floating around their empty minds at the time their delusions are under attack. Doesn't have to be truth, just contradicting their narrative.... Most people seem suckered into the idea everything is a narrative like truth doesn't exist because everything has bias; even the unbiased have a perceived bias due to biased interpretation. Science, which is the uncovering actual reality is under assault, along with reason which seems to have died 20 years ago. Truth died in the 90s with the rise of Faux News and Karl Rove's theory of relative truth which he proved out starting in 2000 (I heard a lecture of his a bit after 2000 arguing there is no objective reality. Talk about post modernist...and later irony... nevermind.)

The information age made people more ignorant and gullible; as I predicted. Same with communication tech, social media... it all did more to undermine what it supposedly was created to enhance.
