Comment MAGAs are Fake Christians (Score 1) 157

We are a Christian nation

MAGAs are fake Christians, ignore most of Bible, especially all the "don't be greedy" and "don't be an asshole" scriptures. You worship Fox Jesus, not the real Jesus.

Jesus said NOTHING about LGBTQ+, yet belted the shit out of greedy money changers grifting in the temple lobby. Trump would probably be one of the belties if he were alive then. The plutocrats want you to forget about the second and focus on the first so that you allow them to continue to sin and grift. Many don't even believe in your fairytales, they just swindle you for money and votes.

You are TalibanJelicals. Stay in the hills, keep your stupidstition out of our towns, and drink all the Ivermectin you want! We want nothing to do with you ignorant gullible haters. #DontTouchMagas

For example, if I asked you, "what is 98 + 87?" you would probably intuitively subtract 2 from 87 to get 85, then add 100 to get 185.

Now that's a weird, counterintuitive, roundabout trick if I ever saw one. When I saw that question, I simply added the two numbers together in my head and see no reason to do things the hard way as you expect.

Compared to what was available before, it is quite impressive.

The negative feedback is prompted by the fact that AI is constantly being shoved into every one of our orifices 24/7 by every vaguely tech-related company as if it was the second coming of Jesus. To justify that amount of social pressure, it would indeed have to be quite a bit better than it actually is, and that's why people aren't impressed.

This aspect is troubling to me too. You know they keep making changes because "studies show..." Yet so much of the time, what studies show does not pan out IRL. I am (was) a researcher (in a technical field), I am not anti-intellectual. I want there to be an evidence-based argument for designing programs that work better than before. Yet it seems like it is not working.

I feel the same about discipline (or rather the lack thereof) in the classroom, "studies show" being coerced is bad for them, but now one problem kid that can't be controlled or moved out of the general population classroom is destroying it for 24 others in that class. There are certain kids who don't respond to instruction, and once they realize nobody can actually do anything to stop them (and I mean that literally, even while they are physically assaulting other students) it's all over.

in rot mode now. No better evidence than more than half of the US voted for the orange one.

This 'splains it:

TFA: "One of the course's tutors noted that students faced more issues with "logical thinking" than with math facts per se. They didn't know how to begin solving word problems."

I think because it is not dependable....it still quite often gets things wrong and gives wrong answers.

Hell, just the other day, it got the wrong songs on an album being discussed, info that is out there on the web for easy verification.

If you can't trust if for simple things like that, it's then a QC nightmare when you try to trust it for important code or design....where tolerances can mean life/death or at the very least....severe LITIGATION.
