Comment Re:People shouldn't get a high school degree (Score 1) 133

Funding is not the problem in most places. It is that so much of those resources are directed at the less capable while the majority of everyone else is just pushed through and taught to the same low level of standards. See, it is no longer acceptable to label anyone as less than any other. This is what you get, a bunch of equally under-educated students.

Comment It fails too often for the resources consumed. (Score 1) 119

Random number generation is not the AI people expect and never will be; then people realize the amount of resources AI is wasting and it just looks awful.

You can put lipstick on the laptop's AI, but not that big fat ass pig sitting behind the curtain powering that laptop. We have completely undone all the environmental savings ever made from switching to LED light bulbs, and it isn't even close.

This is all driven by parents with dumb children. If you can't compete lower the bar for everyone, then litigate until it's low enough. But that's just half of the problem. The other half is the bloated administration departments sucking up resources that should be going into teaching.

(according to AI, heh) US public schools still require Measles vaccination for attendance. Who exactly are the oily rags? because (according to AI, heh) immigrants are still required to get the Measles vaccination to be approved. Someone is falling through the cracks, or more accurately leaking in through the cracks.

Illegal immigration? Oh no I did not just go political bullshit, but here it is. This is why it's bad other than taking jobs, not paying taxes, crime etc.: Our own people get exposed and die because our built in protections provided by legal immigration were circumvented.

They are at the age where they realize everything they have is from debt owed to someone else. Any money they do make is worth less each day. Their beloved internet is falling into shit. The advertisements never stop. It's not even their own money. Why bother putting effort into a good password since whatever it protects is either not their money or another data collection fiasco. Or a forum of trolls and scammers.

Chances are it was brought in from outside the country. Many people's measles vaccines are simply not up to date, as other posters say after decades your body can lose the vaccine's effectiveness. It wasn't a high priority to check if someone needed a booster, until it is.

While you are blaming one class of people don't forget to blame immigrants of all kinds and world travel to all over the world. Then look in the mirror and blame yourself for not doing something about it.

People fly out and bring things back. People immigrate legally and bring things in. People immigrate illegally and bring things in. No country can claim they have wiped out anything until the entire world has done so. The status of any one country now means nothing because there is too much air travel all over the world.

Random number generators were not intended to be used to make AI decisions. But here we are. A real AI would always give the same answer even if that answer is wrong. And that answer would not change unless the base data changes. You can't do that though with current large-set-databases queried with a random number generator.
