Americans especially never go to Iran, how could they, and have never been exposed to this culture outside of Iranians in the USA who are typically fully embracing american culture.

Don't believe the implication of TFS (and probably TFA, but of course I haven't read it) that this is a specifically Persian or Iranian thing. It's far more widespread than that. At the very least you'll find it across the Middle East and northern Africa; but also in Brazil (earlier this year I read an account by a Brit in Brazil of how they'd learnt to practise it), and I'm sure many parts of Asia too.

Not if my wife is nearby. /rimshot

I just cancelled Disney+ and Hulu a week ago. Obviously this was their response.

Even if not a guise but actually true, it's probably a bad idea for a car manufacturer to get into the auto-drive business because they are very different kinds of endeavors. Those who try to be both hardware and bot-software keep choking, including Tesla and Apple. If the top players choke at it, then a second-string like Volvo is more likely to win the lottery while getting struck by lightning while chewing gum on a unicycle than succeed.

Let bot co's build bots and car builders build cars. Instead Volvo should work to form industry standards so that a bot-kit can snapped into a physical car when ready, hedging their bot options.

How was Russian collusion investigation a "hoax" exactly? MAGAs don't seem to know the meaning of the word, just echo their cult hero verbatim.

Dear YouTube Viewers,
 
This is to inform you that we are up Moutholini's ass,
and too far up to change our kiss-up policies,
so please don't ask.
 
Thank You,

...gave YouTube a deal it couldn't refuse.

And those who spread medical lies should be locked up! Impressionable people can get poisoned or killed.

I evolved a more flexible Prince that makes catchy deals.

My PHBgpt is down right now.

People tend to hire social-economic clones of themselves, and MBAs being relatively social value "buddyness" even more.

Thanks to AI now slashdot will get mashup dupes that are amalgamated parts of articles already submitted. It will be fun the first few times...

Re: AI can't do new, only regurgitate patterns

It only has to be good enough to fool humans, not cure cancer.
 

> I would hope that a non-credentialed "citizens scientist" could submit work to a journal...

It's fair to request a written endorsement from an established researcher first. Accepting papers from Nigerian Princes sight unseen has been a stupid idea since the first Nigerian Prince scam.

Already in his first few days in office, Pope Leo XIV had expressed concern about how AI poses a challenge to defending human dignity, justice and labour.

In other words, his position against AI is well known.

IMHO, The only reason to ask this question would be as an attempt to belittle him, and/or to plug some products and services you are affiliated with.

People who were happy to purchase "Bob's Research Digest & Ocean Cruise Guide" from Mr. Trenchcoat probably won't care if AI stuffs it with yet more riff-raff "research" because they probably didn't care before.

Something tells me they are buying scientific-sounding "justifications" for something else dodgy rather than genuine knowledge. RFK Jr's group is an example candidate to claim Tums causes autism or whatnot. Real journals vet submitters.
