Comment Re:Maybe you could pay teachers enough (Score 1) 117

Depends on location. Teachers in our area make a very good income. $120-150k for a tenured 4th grade teacher, not to mention the state benefits, pension, 2 months off, etc. It serves to not be in a 3rd world state, er I mean Republican ran back-asswards fucktard snowflake state. Same for law enforcement, EMS, fire. They all make very, very good incomes in our Democratic ran state. But move to some place like Louisiana and any of those jobs would be lucky to make even $60k. I'm not sure why anyone takes any of those jobs in those shit hole states.

The people bitching about poor education are the poorly educated, i.e. MAGA terrorist group.

They don't like big changes. Don't get more credit and keep your debt to credit ration below 20% and in the next year and you'll see that score increase. I've sat at 750-800 for 2 decades with ease. Getting that debt paid of was huge, but getting more credit may not have been the wisest choice.

That is only true for those folks who don't need credit scores, they already have considerable wealth. For most folks if you have a sub 600 score you are either early in the game, young and just starting out, or it's pretty clear you have a hard time dealing with paying your debt or have way over extended yourself.

Comment No"AI" cannot think (Score 1, Insightful) 103

It's not even intelligence, artificial or not yet. It's still just brute force machine learning. Until the day comes when you can show an AI system a picture of 2 cats or dogs or cars or humans of different shape, size and color and it can then immediately and correctly identify all cats as a cat, dogs as a dog, cars as a car, or other people as humans it cannot think and is not intelligent.

Thinking would also come with independent thought, curiosity, creativity. Which will be a very long time after AI can properly identify a cat with extremely little training. If thst day ever comes which is highly unlikely.

LLMs, with all the actual coolness that comes along with them are nothing more than, expensive, energy intensive basic brute force machine learning. It looks like magic but it's nothing that is actually special.

Why don't they just default to an attitude that if it's banned in other places like the UK and China. Then it should either by default be banned in the US have much more research performed. Especially China, if China is banning some chemical it probably should be banned globally.

And most of them voted Trump and subsequently voted to not have any healthcare all because of their hatred of the immigrants who pick their food becaue they don't want to work the minimum wage jobs that are too hard for their soft little hands. They'll all be dead in a couple decades. Partial problem solved. We still need people to harvest food. Maybe make all the republican conservatives going on killing spreas work the fields. At the rate they are going there should be plenty.
