Just to add: if the government, including the police, started mass video surveillance, there would be justified outrage. Meta has more data processing than at least the UK government and consequently should be given less leeway.

Whether you're 20, 30, 40, or 50, you're gonna be fucked by AI in some way in the next decade. It doesn't matter if you're old or not.

How much NVDA do you hold?

Are you thinking of the 2021 Texas winter storm, when renewables held up great but production from gas and coal collapsed? Of course, the governor then lied about it and tried to claim the opposite:

Yeah, I was waiting for someone to bring up the convoy criminals.

Believe me, the USA has far harsher sanctions for anyone who commits a crime. Look up "Civil Forfeiture", which is not nearly as easy to do in Canada.

No reasonable person would use the word hate where it cannot possibly apply. They would find some other way to discuss the thing which actually made sense because it took into account the definitions of words.

Not a lawyer, but I don't think intent is necessary for it to be criminal. Negligence and can also have severe consequences that can be criminal.

It is not just the teachers. The whole thing is a feedback loop. When a teacher finds that they would have to fail 80% of a class on a book reading assignment, they will reduce or remove that assignment in the future. Hence the problem is larger.

How to fix it? No idea. One approach would be that below a certain skill level, unless you are really mentally challenged, you do not leave school. Lear to read or never graduate. Another would be realistic feedback that includes both potential and actual skill and refuse to graduate people with a larger gap there. But all of that includes telling parents, "no your kid is not a genius" or "your kid is lazy and does not want to learn". There are some parents that this would not even be needed for, but there are many others that just have a deep disdain for education because they are failures themselves. And the second group makes "uneducated" a socially inherited trait. You also have the problem that some political groups and especially almost all religious groups do not want an educated population. These assholes only ever supported education to the level that was needed to keep society going and that level has dropped. Maybe.

I think you fundamentally misunderstand the point. The point of induced demand is that it can't solve traffic congestion, it can only further intrench car dependency. It's counter-intuitive to its own goal, as you said the point is to get people where they want to get to, and the best way of doing that is to provide them with a method of doing so that doesn't waste their lives.

Induced demand is a concept unique to overcrowded individual mobility sources, specifically driving. On the flip side you can do something like invest in high-speed rail or better more efficient public transit and move more people, more quickly, without it just turning into a parking lot, which at the same time reduces demand on an arterial.

This isn't a question of expand highway vs do nothing. It's a question of expanding highway vs doing something different that may have a better outcome (for both people who will use the system as well existing people on the highway who won't).

Rather than telling people to fuck off, please understand what it means in the context of city planning.

City planning is fundamentally about controlling habits of people. It's at the very core. You don't drive because you want to drive. You drive because planners and designers have ultimately created an environment which made it either the best or maybe the only option for you. This kind of thing doesn't need to be stated.

If someone writes "No rocket had ever reached orbit from Western European soil" then you cannot just miss out qualifying words like "Western" to make a headline. If I write a story saying "Greytree is the fastest 100m runner called Greytree" you cannot post a story with the headline "Greytree is the fastest 100m runner". This is Journalism 101, not rocket science.

OpenAI (which is preparing to go public) and Hugging Face (which was preparing to be acquired by NVIDIA) both tried to bury the “incident” as if it were nothing more than a joke between friends, at our expense. Rather than enforcing the regulations that already exist by bringing the matter before a court, they called for the development of new regulation (a way of buying time, since this is certainly unlikely to come to fruition anytime soon) and set about absolving themselves of responsibility in the future by encouraging us to use their products to protect ourselves from their own. OpenAI must be sued, for full discovery, before the evidences are destroyed.

Still blaming the victim. Being overweight is a sign of diabetes, but now you are blaming people for being overweight.

Studies have shown that upto 70% of overweight people have genes that influenced if not caused it.

If you're a billionaire or a trillionaire the outcomes are great. You can use the infighting over increasingly scarce water and resources to cement your control over society and you can live in the few remaining temperate zones with plenty of fresh water for yourself. I mean yeah everyone else is fucked but we're all going to be billionaires right? We're just temporarily inconvenienced... And I'm sure Elon Musk thinks of you and me as his buddies. We will be joining him on Mars
