Comment Re:Inductive fallacy i.e. boiling frogs (Score 1) 105

The cognitive ability of AIs is 0. AIs do not think. They do not reason. They do not understand. They can probablistically predict output based on training data, and an input, and that's it. With programming, it can find bits of code on the internet that are related to the keywords you give it, but it can't actually code a damn thing on its own. Which makes it a slightly less useful version of stack overflow, and for it ever to become better it will need a quantum leap of new techniques that are not currently on the horizon.

Now consider the effects, long-term, of these differentials on our culture and politics.

Well, yes ... you are going to be replaced, in the long run, by those you allow to live among you who have more children than you.

That's just ... math. (Or "science" if you prefer.)

Now, if you'd rather that be done by the feisty followers of a certain Mo, well, okay ... but I don't think you are going to like that culture or politics either.

It said previous governments did not follow their own rules. Separately, SCOTUS has said that the current executive doesn't have to follow rules at all.

Curiously, did this violation of rules occur before or after Biden had absolutely immunity? If after, then all that's needed is a claim that Biden ordered it, a claim by the current executive LOL.

The President is no longer bound by law so stopping this "tactic" is moot. The door is now wide open. The effect of this decision is merely to reverse a Biden-era action, it does not affect the executive branch now, they operate outside law.

'And lets not forget: this rule would affect more companies than just those that are "effectively stealing from people by making it impossible to cancel."'

Sure, to the benefit of consumers. Can't have that.

As much as we'd all like to imagine the hypocrisy of one of the world's largest companies asking its employees for free labor, that doesn't seem to be what's happening here.

But ... but ... how can I get a good Two-Minutes Hate out of that?!?
