Exactly.

You expect me to believe the thing that provided some income disparity relief for a large percentage of remote workers (same pay, lower costs from relocating) is at fault for others not having jobs? I've worked (remotely) with young people. They seem eager and capable, far more so than most other age demographics.

This is just companies finding excuses, looking to claw back more control.

It sounds like you don't understand how the court system works. The SCOTUS only hears cases which are brought before it, and then selectively.

Which cases specifically do you feel indicate corruption on the part of the SCOTUS? There are definitely some dissenting decisions which don't adhere to the US constitution, and there is definitely a long running theme in the courts of activist judges re-interpreting well defined language, and perhaps (probably) even a couple judges who are compromised, but I'm not aware of any evidence of corruption.

So every website on the Internet ?

about $100B revenue by the top 5 companies. It's amazing, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta and Oracle have raked in billions since 2022. And all they had to do was spend about $1T to do it.

So if you want to get into an amazing investment opportunity, I can help you turn $10 into $1 without the use of AI. Without needing to build data centers or boil the oceans. Simply mail me any amount of money you wish to invest. And I will within 5 business days send you the profit back. Up to 10%!

Methodology to determine causality varies (that is, did the person die from the jab or something else), but for the set of COVID-19 vaccines specifically and taking data back to 2020 the number is dozens to hundreds of deaths. Not millions.

Both death and life-time disability are possible outcomes both for infectious disease and for vaccines. It's an exercise in statistics to attempt to do the least harm. MMR vaccine deaths are very low for example, but infant mortality is high for measles, mumps, and rubella. With complications in children such as loss of hearing, loss of sight, and intellectual disability. And for adults a very high risk (70%+) of developing arthritis. Where as the MMR vaccine does not carry these same complications.

We've been applying this technique to other species on a large scale and world wide for 60+ years. Everything we do has some consequence. We should only do it when the benefits outweigh the consequences. And the models of what the consequences of SIT (sterile insect technique) might be are treated very pessimistically because we know that we don't know everything.

SIT is at least superior in many ways to how we currently control mosquitos in areas of the US that are getting a surge of West Nile virus (like my neighborhood). My local ecosystem doesn't need non-native mosquitos that spread disease, here we have Aedes aegypti (the yellow fever mosquito) and Aedes albopictus (the Asian tiger mosquito). Usually county spends out a truck spraying a larvicide such as Temefos. Of course spraying pesticides all over where your children play and bees work has risks too.

Surely.
The great example is phones - I'd love to see a data driven study on network quality/cost to users for cell phones in Africa. They largely skipped the whole "stringing wires all over the fucking place" step and jumped straight to cell phones. How has that worked for them compared to mature hardwire telephone systems in developed countries? Pros? Cons? Long term benefits/costs?

Companies will hire under skilled cheap foreign labor just fine and not worry about them learning from more skilled in office domestic workers.

Companies are lying as per the usual.

Companies think AI makes up for incompetence when in reality, it just magnifies it.

Before being publicly traded they were privately traded. Any start up that IPOs already has a board and shareholders. And often even shareholder elections, at least for the voting class shares.

Having a practical way to cash out is what being public means. And unfortunately that can also lead to management (board or non-board) playing fast and loose with goals and reporting in order to pump up a stock price. So that employee and executive alike can bleed off some of their holdings as a tidy little bonus. Even at the expense of business interests. (I'm not saying Anthrophic will do this, but I've seen it happen elsewhere in the tech industry)

nobody has any idea what AI is going to need 5 years from now, let alone 20 years. Don't tack garbage onto DNS that is bound to be irrelevant, I don't even want to see an IETF RFC in the listing on AI because these documents are meant to be for long-term use. Anyone designing for AI today is not forward thinking.

I can't dissect her shitty character non-arc any better than Matthew Kadish from Medium did in his 8000-word annihilation of a poorly written, poorly conceived, poorly executed Mary Sue.

And...Grogu is literally nothing BUT a toy commercial.

https://medium.com/@matthewkad...

"Since a Mary Sue is partially defined by her ability to upstage all other characters she shares a scene with, regardless of those characters previously established skills and abilities, let us look at how Rey does this to other characters in Star Wars:

        Rey beats up Finn upon first meeting him, despite Finn supposedly being a trained Stormtrooper.
        Rey is able to fly the Millennium Falcon better than Han Solo, who is considered one of the best pilots in the galaxy.
        Rey is able to fix the Millennium Falcon easier and quicker than either Han Solo or Chewbacca, whoâ(TM)ve flown the ship for decades.
        Rey is able to shoot a blaster more accurately than a trained Stormtrooper, despite never having fired a blaster before.
        Rey is able to resist Kylo Renâ(TM)s Force interrogation technique, and even turn it around on him to read his mind, despite Kylo being a trained Force user and Rey never having used the Force before.
        Rey is able to defeat Kylo Ren in a lightsaber duel despite never fighting with a lightsaber before and Kylo Ren being a trained saber user.
        Rey receives condolences for Hanâ(TM)s death from Leia instead of Chewbacca receiving Leiaâ(TM)s condolences, considering Chewbacca had a far closer relationship with both Han and Leia and Leia never having met Rey before.
        Rey is chosen to go retrieve Luke Skywalker, despite the more sensible choice being that of Leia.
        Luke becomes frightened of Rey after seeing her âoeraw powerâ with the Force being equal to that of Kylo Ren.
        Rey defeats Luke Skywalker in one-on-one combat, despite Luke being a trained Jedi capable of defeating Darth Vader, arguably one of the most skilled Force combatants in history.
        Rey defeats numerous Praetorian Guards and helps to save Kylo Ren during the battle, despite having very little experience in fighting multiple opponents at once.
        Rey shows she has mastery over the Force on a level with Kylo Ren when struggling over possession of Lukeâ(TM)s lightsaber despite Kylo having years of training and Rey having weeks worth of training.
        Rey is able to get a âoetriple killâ by destroying three First Order TIE Fighters at the same time in the Battle of Crait, despite never firing the Millennium Falconâ(TM)s guns before.
        Rey is able to move a mountain of rocks from the Resistance base on Crait, despite never having trained for such a feat, and which no Jedi in the Star Wars films has ever before demonstrated. Thus, she upstages Luke in respect to being the one to actually save the survivors of the Resistance."

Beats another holodeck episode.

I don't think building weapons is inherently bad, like some sort of child.
The fact is that nuclear weapons and their delivery vehicles have given us the longest period of peace between the great powers in modern history, at least since the 14th century.

You probably believe if we hadn't built them the Soviets would have just showed us with hugs and kisses?

...and which have given us the longest period of great power peace in since what, Charlemagne?

Or did you think that was coincidence?
The goal is NOT to use them.

The current state of AI for this (I recently started working on a new project), is AI can find and summarize topics. But it has poor temporal understanding, it doesn't understand that documentation is out of date or that old Slack discussions or Confluence comments that were never incorporated into the documentation and code are irrelevant. Using it as a tool to sniff out potential trails seems to be about all it can do. From there, you as the human being have to investigate AI's claims and resolve the conflicting information.

The key to 'surfing the 2nd generation techs' is that you - defacto - can't be at the cutting edge. In fact you have to be a backward society *vastly* behind the curve to avoid having to have that legacy sunk-cost infrastructure.

Nobody "skipped over" early tech, that implies agency. These are LEFT BEHIND economies. I don't think anyone chooses that as a strategy.

So it's externally-developed tech that someone is selling them.
