It's not clear how you can possibly think "if we take the worst people out of prison the rest of the prizoners will have better outcomes" without making the half step into understanding "our prisons aren't being run properly if prisoners like that are causing such problems for other prisoners."

I'm a busy man. I'm also a lazy man. Could someone tell me if this is cheaper or more expensive than a desktop gaming PC with the same stats?

Additionally, the way it's phrased, as a "bet," is implicitly skeptical.

There is no question that states are betting on AI.

There's also another thing at play for the ones who would be otherwise redeemable: most prisons are hellholes of punishment, not rehabilitation. If you choose to run a system that way do not be surprised that the likely outcome of people who have been in the system for any real lengh of time is recidivism.

FDNY life is rough but it is still vastly better than Chinese factor worker life. That 18-hour shift is not constant answering calls, a lot of it is downtime. Also, they get a lot of time off in between. And retire with good benefits years and years before the Chinese worker.

So yes, you are too delusional to understand that you just made my point for me. Your entire perspective is the issue here so there's not going to be any way to get through to you.

So you're just doubling down on the same tired and unconvincing methodology. How pathetic. And predictable.

Irrelevant.

This is not happening every 18 months and no I do not "have" to lay out anything to someone delusional enough to make claims like yours.

Only an unthinking, unserious person would compare sorting identity politics losersinto the bin as racism. Pathetic attempt.

Their "sports team" tell you what kind of person they are in this case. Knowing what kind of person they are tells you whether they are worth listening to or not.

It's not about buying them every 18 months. It's about long term parts support, change for the sake of change and more waste caused by that.

"and where blue collar workers get to retire on a full pension before white collar workers."

Yes, if only I could enjoy the life of a blue collar factor worker in China. Why can't I work 12 hour shifts 6 days a week?!
