You need to look into the knock on effects a little more... it is fairly well known that students that fall behind and are artificially pushed up a grade level will eventually hit a wall and drop out at higher rates (and more disasterously) than those who are held back earlier in schooling or get help outside. NCLB facilitated pushing students up given the pressures of administation to show good numbers.

You only think nobody was complaining because you didn't look. The downward adjustment for all measurements under Biden were noted by people at the time since they were used to send an obviously rosy picture of the events.

That's why the firing of Erika McEntarfer shouldn't have been made into a political issue: she had a track record throughout Biden's term of vastly overinflating the jobs number. Who knew what else has been inflated...

This is totally ignorant, and if not then the core of the left wing is the belief that the individual is nothing more than their innate characteristics as well.

One can honestly sum up left and right through a lens of monopolistic power: a left wing viewpoint is that monopolies are unnatural and a right wing viewpoint is that monopolies are natural... note that natural / unnatural isn't good or bad. Take race for example: a right winger will believe that black people are doing worse because of certain factors (that might not be innate, such as culture) internally: lack of focus on education and single parent households based on culture for example. A left winger will believe that black people are doing worse because of certain factors (which may be innate) externally: lack of opportunity and systemic racism for example. What has happened recently, thanks to people like you, is that the left and right have gotten so polarized that they talk past each other in this regard.

The "gay" and "trans" thing works both ways... no, not giving underage kids puberty blockers that can fuck up bone growth and the ability to have children based on the positive affirmation model (which is going away in many of the "more liberal" European countries) isn't genocide.

Uncriticized liberalism leads to progressivism, which seeks accelerationism as much as any far-right ideology.

Short term, AI will be overvalued by managers and will bring a lot of in house work back as things mess up. See the initial push for outsourcing... we got paid a lot to clean up other peoples code until the standards of business got worked out.

Long term there will be a floor / ceiling issue. The floor for writing basic code will be lowered, and the ceiling for reviewing the code will be higher. Vibe coding doesn't exactly give you experience in memory management that you might need to make sure there aren't memory leaks in the code.

Woke right is a non-sense term made by some liberal / centrist that didn't want to look conservative while still making fun of the progressives.

Maybe one day yet that salesman may be able to come home to his wife and kids.

Instead of taking over artistic endeavors, feeding a bunch of chemical interactions into an AI and have it output its impact as a percentage-based item of what could happen as an initial analysis would be crazy useful in potentially catching things early. I'm sure I've missed something like that, but I'm surprised that isn't a mainstream thing. Hell, even just modeling interactions in the human body to see how chemicals react would be a big but constrained model.

The family "owning" the likeness of their children is a slippery slope I would not like to go down. Bad enough some youtube channels do this to their living children. As you say, would the OP be okay with the family selling the AI rights of their child to start pushing for 2A? Probably not.

Something something, women earning more degrees than men devalues degrees.

You ignorantly describing hate to people who might have an issue with the current trans ideology is also a problem.

Do I believe people have gender dysmorphia? Of course. Do I believe that some of these men have autogynephilia? Also of course. And since these men are generally public about it for fetish reasons and literally hurting public opinion of other trans people they should rightly be... maybe hated is a strong word, but called out for sure.

Hopefully someone will come up with an AI that will generate AI prompts for me. Think of all the savings!

I replace me, except programming c.

Yeah, this is an article that relies on a lot of spin to be negative. Not sure if it more "a place to co-work" or truly "a place to pretend to work", and the newpaper writing the article has a very pro-European stance. I'd take it with a (small, this is China after all) grain of salt.
