I'm old enough to remember when delusional disorder was added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders edition IV. It describes a recurring false believe, especially when it has been debunked over and over again such as the so called "adjustment to create warming trends"

Congrats my friend, you officially have a mental illness.

I hope you're male because if not your husband will likely beat you like the good Christian bible commands for speaking your mind.

But I guess we're okay with committing genocide too right? After all God commanded King Saul to do just that.

Next time we go to war don't forget to to slaughter the woman and children, specifically make sure you pay attention to the pregnant woman, the bible suggested "ripping them open".

Yeah religion is so aligned with our laws and values. Hell at least God himself agreed and decided to cancel all of humanity with a flood.

It's time to kick the Christians out of Europe, they are a murderous worshiping cult not aligned with any laws.

You're being way too general. Define computer, define what software is used. Define *when* it can be put in place. Be specific. A computer is a very broad tool that does a lot of things. At what point can we assist spell checking? Do we stop teaching basic spelling at the same time we finish leaning the times table and give people basic calculators?

Note even for calculators we vary what level of complexity is introduced when. There was a specific year at school we had to switch from normal calculators to scientific calculators and then from scientific calculators to graphic calculators. That got us through to uni where graphic calculators were replaced with matlab and R. There's specific milestones related to learning materials on a per subject basis that needs to be addressed.

The GNIS is a database, one that doesn't include business in any way. It's up to the state to manage the renaming of official signage. As of right now, those street and trail signs are wrong, officially so. The business names however are right, they have no relation or requirement to follow any official naming convention.

Well this is where I'm coming from. Industrial control systems are not normally kept up to date with the latest OS. For actual control systems they are usually certified combinations of hardware and software. You don't get to upgrade Windows or Linux, what you do is buy a new database server or a new engineering workstation with the new OS on it.

RHEL isn't remotely considered the latest and greatest. I'm not sure specifically what CERN's problems were (no doubt they had many legitimate ones), I was just curious why the idea of the latest OS not running on 18+ year old hardware was a design consideration to them.

Cybersecurity is not achieved by running the latest and greatest OS. It's achieved by defence in depth. It's achieved by isolation of systems and control of information. You very much can have an OS out of date and insecure on a network if you manage that network appropriately, and I don't think anyone at CERN has their particle accelerator control system plugged directly into their ISP's router.

You "can" do a lot of things. You "can" play Doom on TI82 calculator. The question was: does it make sense to do so, what are the benefits it brings vs the downsides?

English is not math. Every reasonable person reading those two sentences interpret them the same way in the context of the discussion.

Countries when used in this context are the implied policy of individuals. E.g. America is a piece of shit on the world stage. That doesn't mean the mountains and lakes have changed, everyone reading this sentence understands that we're talking about policies of the governing people.

So your point is one no one was making? No one said they had to use USA's AI. This was a comment on the industry in general.

Did you accidentally leave out a sentence in the middle? I mean he supported Tommy Robinson and called him heart-warming, you know the guy who wanted to use the military to deport all brown people from the UK.

I mean Hitler is also a pretty nice guy if you gloss over parts of history. I'll give you the benefit of doubt and say you made a very stupid mistake and aren't in fact an inexcusable piece of shit like the people under discussion.

That's like saying Hitler was lightly displeased with the Jewish population. No he's was in full support of Tommy Robinson, a guy that made Charlie Kirk look like Mother Theresa, a guy who has advocated using the British military to force those "brown people" out of the UK. Apparently Hansson called him "heartwarming".

Monopolies aren't illegal. Monopolising is illegal, that's the actual word used in the law (3 times in quick succession, you can't miss it), it's a verb, it's an act of doing something. A state of being isn't illegal and in fact you don't need to have a monopoly or even a duopoly or oligopoly in order to fall afoul of antitrust laws.

Part of the problem is that people don't know how the law works, so they look to the wrong solutions, and the media isn't helping. No Google isn't holding an illegal monopoly anywhere that's just Reuters fucked up reporting. Brinkema did not rule Google "holds illegal monopolies" in 2025, that is just again fucked up Reuters reporting.

Those cases rest on actual activities performed by Google and not Google's state of being. The problem really with the USA's antitrust law is the burden of proof that activities actually have an impact on the market affecting customers (in this case ad customers) directly. Most other areas in the world don't have that burden of proof and they can simply apply antitrust law based on economic theory.

My 10 year old nephew wants to be an engineer, so I tried teaching him how to impedance correct a transmission line using a smith chart instead of dealing with that basic arithmetic bullshit. But somehow he's not getting it. What am I doing wrong? I'm following your advice, but it's not working. /s

No one is suggesting kids don't learn how the real world works, but unlike you I expect kids to grasps the basics of logical thinking before we unleash an LLM on them.

Two things: 1. We don't need data. AI isn't unique or special. It's a tool that replaces a portion of thinking. We have known for a century already that when you substitute the basics with a tool you lack understanding. Exactly as the OP states. We know it from the use of calculators vs learning basic arithmetic, we know it from the use of software in engineering vs making students solve impedance equations using smith charts. For humans this is as clear and there's literally no tool ever released that has countered this, so there's no reason to think AI is different.

2. We have the data.

AI has been in use for around a year and it's already having a measurable NEGATIVE effect.

It's almost like countries have governments which are made up of people. Well mostly. I'm not sure there's any real people in the White House, but most other countries have their governments staffed by people.

Death is something we expect based on the utility something provides. We don't accept death from a baby's toy laced with asbestos because there's very very limited utility, it's easily substituted with anything else.

On the flip side we very much do accept an insanely high fatality rate for the use of motor vehicles, as the utility they provide in terms of mobility is fundamental to our society.

I suspect we'll tolerate a significant amount of death in the name of AI, god knows we accept it for social media and that is fucking useless to society.
